This show explores the celestial depths of metal music, exploring its connections to the extraterrestrial and otherworldly phenomena. While an explicit connection between metal and aliens emerged in the later 00s with bands like Alien Weaponry and Planetary Duality, a cosmic relationship has always existed within the genre. The show features a diverse array of bands Death new cosmic death metal bands like Blood Incantation, Planetary Duality, and Alien Weaponry to pioneers of space rock such as Voivod, Edge of Sanity, and Galactic Cowboys. Of course, no exploration of extraterrestrial metal would be complete without paying homage to the classics, including the groundbreaking sounds of Hawkwind and Gong.
