The Metal Robot Podcast (2026-06-22) On this ferris wheel of an episode, Tom dives into three brand-new releases: Sweden’s Shadowborne with their fantasy-powered debut “Heaven’s Falling,” Montreal’s progressive death metal machine Conflux Collective with “In the Wake of Saturn,” and Belgium’s speed-heavy Vikings Drakkar with “Invasion.”

Then it’s time for Metal Archives Roulette! The wheel lands us in Moldova, where Tom discovers progressive death metal band Neuromist and digs through their catalogue to find out if this hidden gem deserves more attention.

Finally, Tom sits down with Lindsay Schoolcraft to talk about her brand-new album “Harrowing,” the most emotionally vulnerable record of her career, the new heavy direction for her music, and maybe something about hummus.

It’s all here on this episode of the Metal Robot Podcast!
