    Lifelong metal maniacs!!

    Right.

    Your Morbid Angel episode is what, one idiot trying to read what he found on Wikipedia and their official bio? THAT is your deep dive? Even the most peasant death metal listener knows about the green slime version of Domination, and you boneheaded dorks — ALLEGED HUGE FANS — found about that in real-time during the episode.

    Also, are you totally ESL? Why can’t you pronounce poignant? It’s a common word.
