EP. 35: Flatline Monumental EP Review

Heavy metal inspired podcast. Interviews, discussions, debates, album reviews and most importantly... It's about the music. My name is Matt Massacre and about 2 years ago I stepped away from a hobby in internet radio. I needed to take some time away from the microphone to concentrate on life. Fast forward to now and I started to get the itch to get back behind the mic. So I asked myself... Why not start a podcast? Welcome to Straight To The Core. A podcast that's 100% about the music. A podcast by the little guy, for the little guy. New episodes weekly! Be sure to like, follow and subscribe!
