No Open Mic album or Question this week as Steven prioritised the wrestling that was on instead of rational thought.

Nevertheless, Desolation Sounds Podcast is back with a brand new episode with 2019 now in full force. There's more festival news as both Download and Arctangent announce acts to play at this year's renditions, studio updates from Testament, Tool and Rammstein and album news from Blood Command, Brutus, and Employed to Serve.

Album reviews continue in the theme of Steven picking albums from worlds he knows mostly nothing about as he looks at the americana experiment EP from Cane Hill, black metal savagery from Barshasketh, dark neofolk courtesy of Rome, and as promised last week, an eagerly anticipated look at the debut album from rapcore supergroup FEVER 333.
