A sombre episode of Desolation Sounds Podcast this week as we are on the back of the news of The Prodigy's vocalist Keith Flint's sudden and tragic passing earlier in the week. Rest in power Keith.

The show must continue though and there's news coming in this week from UFO and studio updates from Slipknot and Leprous, album news from Blind Guardian and some tasty new music from PUP and Deafheaven.

Album reviews this week come in the shape of Brooklyn sludgy hardcore outift Alouth and a live acoustic album from Bay Area thrash icons Metallica. A surprise Open Mic edition for this week goes to the often over-looked and hugely underappreciated self-titled album from Zoax.
