It's the final episode of The Sons of Metal. CHR embarks on one last solo flight with new albums from Anaal Nathrakh and Aldious, checks out some indie grindcore from Anthropic, and prepares to enter Valhalla himself alongside Amon Amarth's appropriately-titled seventh album.

Folks, it's been a pleasure entertaining you the last eight-plus years, and summoning the last bit of warmth from my icy, cynical heart, I thank all of you for your attention during this time. Whether you've been a subscriber since episode #1 or just recently discovered us, I hope we managed to both inform and entertain during your time with us.
Take care and be safe,--CHR
