New releases reviewed this week come courtesy of Marilyn Manson, The Pineapple Thief, Uniform, a collaboration between Richard Spaven and Sandunes and Ihsahn whilst Broken Records takes a look at Van Halen's over-blown, over-stuffed, over-the-hill 11th album, confusingly titled III. 

Speaking of overuse of words that are prefixed by the word 'over', Remfry becomes over-excited by the fact that the first chord change in 7 years occurred during the performance of John Cage's As Slow As Possible, a piece of music being performed in a church in Germany over a period of 639 years. He needs to get out more. Steve sobers him up with the news of Milk Teeth's demise and breaking news as we went to record that Creeper drummer Dan Bratton has left the band. 

There is also devastating news as Holy Roar records, a label we've historically championed on the show, has dissolved due to disturbing and distressing rape allegations that have been made against the label's founder. Remfry and Steve would like to reiterate that any form of sexual assault is unacceptable and their deepest sympathies go out to those who have had the courage to speak out.

Some important links for those who have suffered or know anyone who has suffered at the hands of sexual abuse:
