Episode 010: "Pink Bunnies and Unicorns" 

Welcome to the Metal Mama Podcast where melody, magic and might collide! I'm your host, Candace, and I'm here to take you on a journey through the world of power metal and its mesmerizing subgenres.

On each episode, we embark on a quest through sweeping landscapes of sound, exploring the soaring vocals, lightning-fast guitar solos, and epic lyrical narratives that define power metal. But we're not just here to dissect the music – we're here to celebrate it!

Joining me are a diverse array of guests, from power metal enthusiasts to musicians, critics, and even a few dragons (well, metaphorically speaking). Our panel of guests rotates with each episode, ensuring you get fresh perspectives and insightful conversations every time. Together, we delve into the subgenres that make power metal so enchanting, whether it's symphonic power, folk-infused melodies, or even the unexplored corners of cyber-fueled power.
