It's a Brotherhood, It's a Sisterhood, It's OUR METALHOOD!

Who are the Mistresses of Mayhem?

We support the scene by attending events, buying merch, playing awesome tunes, and encouraging our listeners to do the same. 

In this episode, we will be chatting about our favorite season for concerts. We also will discuss some music submissions to Metal Local and our plans for fall and Halloween!  All this and information on concerts and festivals happening this fall and taking a couple of shots along the way.
