Beginning Monday, August 3, SYFY will premiere “Metal Crush Mondays,” a month-long programming stunt featuring interviews conducted by SYFY WIRE’s Whitney Moore, with some of the biggest names in heavy metal. In segments surrounding “metal” movies, artists including Corey Taylor (Slipknot/ Stone Sour), Scott Ian (Anthrax), Jonathan Davis (Korn), Maria Brinks (In This Moment), GWAR and more, share their love for sci-fi, fantasy and horror… discuss the organic crossover between genre and heavy metal… and watch and discuss the SYFY movie of the week.

On the debut episode of Metal Crush, Whitney Moore speaks with the Berserker Blöthar and Pustulus Maximus of GWAR. Then later in the episode, Andy Biersack aka Andy Black of Black Veil Brides joins Whitney. Topics discussed throughout this podcast include GWAR’s coffee, the GWARantine, GWAR’s comics, an upcoming Halloween performance, Juggalos, Poltergeist, Star Trek, body shaming, the 30th anniversary of Scumdogs Of The Universe, Marilyn Manson, the Dark Night: Death Metal comics, Greg Capullo, Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, Butcher Babies, Venom, Super7 toys, King Diamond, Re-Stitch these Wounds, the Ghost of Ohio, Z2 Comics, Iron Maiden, Marvel Comics, KISS, Gene Simmons, the Batman movies, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the Black Veil Brides’ upcoming live stream from the Whiskey, Ozzy Osbourne, the 1986 film Trick Or Treat and much more.

Additionally, fans will be able to go online to SYFY WIRE’s YouTube page or listen to an original limited-series podcast (available on SYFY.com and major podcast platforms), for full conversations that dig deeper into each artist’s favorite sci-fi and horror content, metal inspirations and more.

“We know there’s a natural connection between fans of metal and genre,” shared SVP of SYFY WIRE and personal heavy metal aficionado, Sandy Deane. “SYFY is bringing both together in a way that may seem surprising to some, but makes perfect sense to us.”
