## Resource

In episode 272 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas sits down with Mark Menghi (from Metal Allegiance) and Brann Dailor (from Mastadon) to chat about King Ultramega, the all-star collective paying tribute to Chris Cornell. This super group ranges from players like Kim Thayil, Alissa White-Gluz, Charlie Benante, Joe Satriani, Bill Kelliher, Angel Vivaldi, William Duval, and many others including this week's guests Mark and Brann. We'll talk all about the inspiration behind the project, the joys the challenges, and a brief aside about our love of Black Sabbath. Join us!
