Metal fans need to be considered as walking trigger warnings.

On this week's edition of the Desolation Sounds Podcast, Steven looks at all the news from the past week such as Avenged Sevenfold's plans for 2019, Chino Moreno's thoughts on the new Deftones album, and the first lot of bands announced for this year's Damnation Festival. We also bid farewell to underappreciated post-hardcore Feed the Rhino as they announce their final show.

While there is no new music to report, a rare live review is back with a look at a recent battle of the bands featuring upcoming UK acts Black Emerald, Death to Indie, Steal the City, Deliverer and Dig Lazarus, all vying for a chance to play Call of the Wild Festival.

Albums reviews go to underground Russian hardcore brutes Supruga and seasoned modern metal veterans In Flames, and Open Mic for this week goes to the debut album from supergroup The Damned Things, Ironiclast.
