21 Metal Podcasts to Listen to in 2021

2020 has been a difficult year to say the least, and it has forced us all to find numerous ways to deal with all of the emotional challenges.

Some found solace in meditation, others in the not so wholesome bottom of the bottle, while for heavy metal fans everywhere, it was a matter of turning into their favourite artists and cranking it to 11.

But metal fans don’t just casually listen to metal music — they live the metal lifestyle — and that extends to knowing everything there is to know about their favourite genre and artist. Only a metal fan will be able to tell you a random fact like Black Sabbath guitarist, Tony Iommi, having the tips of his fingers cut in a metal foundry in England’s Birmingham in the early 70s, which went on to influence his guitar sound.

When your ears need a break from blast beats and shredding, numerous podcasts that unpack the world of metal from numerous angles and deliver fresh insights on both the history and current goings on in the hard rock and metal world, make sure you’re not left behind next time you’re talking metal with your buds.

As we look forward to putting 2020 behind us, here are — in no particular order — the top 21 metal podcasts to tune in to in 2021!
