During our Desert Island Discs episode, we discussed a Facebook post made on the Metal Nerdery Podcast page regarding favorite albums (Favorite Album and…GO!). Clearly, 1 is simply NOT enough, there just needs to be MORE METAL! So we took all of the albums referenced in that social media post (check out the resulting Metal nerdery episode: metalnerdery.com/podcast), put them in our uber mega ultra-randomizer to shuffle them and came up with the bracket template for what would be considered Week 1. We’ll go through the various match-ups for the first week (there are some BRUTAL decisions to be made!!) to give you an idea of what to expect as you fill in your brackets.
To submit your brackets, go to our website, download the bracket template and fill it out and email it to metalnerdery@gmail.com OR you can find our post on Facebook and add your bracket there.
