For What are Metal Musicians Thankful? 2019 Edition
Thursday is Thanksgiving! I dunno about you folks, but I… love… this… HOLIDAY! The family! The celebration of genocide! The consumerism! It’s all just so heart-warming!
I’m kidding. Thanksgiving is a garbage holiday that we all continue to celebrate in the name of getting a long weekend off from work. We’re thankful it comes but once a year.
But for what are metal musicians and bands thankful? I’m totally speculating here, but if I had to guess, I’d guess that…
