Never thought I'd be making a Zedd reference on here...

Words literally fail Steven on this week's Desolation Sounds Podcast. Nothing to do with this week's tunes, just an isolated bought of dyslexia. Or a stroke.

There's a bunch of news coming out this week from Guns n' Roses new album, The Ghost Inside's live return, Napalm Death potentially sharing a stage with Little Mix and Jess Glynne, and the possibility of a new Linkin Park co-vocalist. There's a new band on the horizon from former The Dillinger Escape Plan drummer Billy Rymer called Thoughtcrimes and Arctangent have announced loads more acts for this year's festivities.

Lots of new music released this week as well from Mark Morton, Duff McKagan, Devin Townsend, Mike Shinoda, Mötley Crüe and Weezer, plus a new album announcement from epic metal veterans Grand Magus.

Album reviews this week come from experimental indie rock duo Buke & Gase, forward-thinking ska rock from The Anchorage and hardcore brutality from Year of the Knife. Open Mic review for this week comes from In Flames' divisive 2006 hit Come Clarity.
