Endgame man... Fucking Endgame.

Steven is back with the Desolation Sounds Podcast after a brief week away and is playing catch-up with a fortnight of all the new and interesting outputs from the world of alternative music. Alongside studio updates from Killswitch Engage, Issues and Airbourne, there's a new band on the horizon made up of members of Job For a Cowboy, The Black Dahlia Murder and Deeds Of Flesh. New music comes from Spanish Love Songs, Rammstein, Employed to Serve and more, plus new album announcements from Japanese trance metal leaders Blood Stain Child and Ozzie deathcore benchmarks Thy Art is Murder.

Album reviews for this week then come from the man of a thousand genres, Devin Townsend; 2000s emo/post-hardcore worshippers When I Say Jump; and the next big thing in extreme metal, Venom Prison. Lastly, there's an Open Mic double header as our favourite bumbling host looks at the album that spawned one of the most controversial music movements of all time in Meshuggah's Destroy Erase Improve, and modern punk rock's darkest and most revered treasures (and one of Steven's all time favourite albums) Grey Britain by Gallows.
