🌶️ To The Teeth: 666 best heavy songs ever! (I think) - plus Skepticism, Swallow the Sun, Warning & Rivers of Nihil

Welcome to the To The Teeth newsletter. I’ll bring you up to date with new heavy music. As always: listen to almost everything at the playlist on Spotify, check out the Facebook page. Peppers are hot, hot hot. I’ll pick out my favorites, the rest is in the playlist! For support please head over to Patreon.

It’s done. I’ve made a playlist with 666 of my favourite heavy songs. There’s black, death, doom, thrash, core and sludge, classics and new stuff. Songs from a tiny 49 seconds to a monolithic 22 minutes: all in all 66 hours of riffs! This was way too much work but so, so much fun. I hope you guys enjoy the hell out of it too, and maybe discover something new!
