Too Heavy To Hug #718

Welcome to THTH, Forte’s premier source of all things heavy, hard, fast and metal.

If you’ve ever wondered what we’re listening to here at THTH then you need not wonder anymore because you can now listen to the official THTH Spotify playlist! Holy shit, right?! Each fortnight we’ll pop up a new playlist for your listening pleasure! But be warned, there’s going to be all sorts of weird shit in there and each playlist will conclude with two non-metal tracks because, why the hell not. Just because we listen to metal doesn’t mean it’s all we listen to, and let’s be honest, some non-metal music is more metal than some of the weaker metals going around (not looking at you, Slipknot and Tool specifically. Wait, yes I am). Each playlist will feature some new stuff, some old stuff, some popular stuff and some obscure stuff, and of course some other stuff.

Check out the details below on how to listen to THTH playlists and make sure you queue them up for your Friday night drinks at home, for your weekend parties or anything coz as we all know, songs sound a lot better when you’re not expecting to hear them, like on the radio!
