017: Heavy Metal Super Groups

Supergroups: No, these aren’t metal bands with capes (although there are certainly a few that SHOULD have capes!); these are (usually) the best of the best musicians and they (often) create some incredible music. We covered quite a lot of ground and talked about some of our favorite supergroups in greater detail. Also included, of course, is your recommended weekly allowance of Metal Nerdery nonsensicalness. So pour yourself a cup of coffee, put some booze (maybe even some cereal) in it and put on your cape as we fly into the all-star stratosphere of metaldom: Metal Supergroups.
