The Sober Metalhead
As a metalhead for the past 30+ years and sober for the past 8 years, I wanted to put something out there that takes the two of them and puts it together. Each week, I will review a NA beverage and a random album that I found on Metal Archives. Not only does this help these smaller bands, but also allows a safe place for those of us that aren’t obsessed with drinking and still enjoy some brutality in our music! So, come along with me, as we explore the bowels of Encyclopaedia Metallum! If you would like to send me an e-mail, please use: thesobermetalhead [at] gmail [dot] com.

This week I drank something called ‘dunkel’ while listening to some club bangers that had me moving on the dance floor. It was not exactly what I expected when starting this journey, but I’m glad I did.

This week, I'm sipping on an NA porter while listening to EpisTheme's chosen genre of 'math metal.' Both of these were unique experiences for different reasons.
