Nita Strauss recently left Alice Cooper 's band to join pop singer Demi Lovato , causing a stir among fans who considered the professional choice a sign of a lack of "loyalty" to metal. Is that so?
This is one of the topics discussed in episode #348 of the Wikimetal podcast by our team. This month, Daniel Dystyler (co-founder of the site), Larissa Catharine Oliveira (writer) and Pedro Tiepolo (manager of the Wikimetal Music ) talk about Nita's case and reflect on whether the mainstream has returned to looking at heavy music, considering the increasingly intense flirtation of artists from other genres with rock and metal, from Miley Cyrus to Machine Gun Kelly .
In this episode, you'll also hear comments from page followers and receive the month's recommendations, this time featuring "Ciganinha," the new song from João Gordo 's Brutal Brega , the program " Dicas para Ler, Ver e Ouvir" (Tips for Reading, Watching and Listening ), presented by Gastão Moreira and Nando Machado , as well as some events in São Paulo: the Grunge Live Experience with Black Circle , the Dream Theater solo show , and the extreme festival Setembro Negro (Black September ).
