Warning Excessive use of the word "fun" inside.

On this fancy new episode of the Desolation Sounds Podcast, Steven feasts his eyes on all the latest metal goss as The Ghost Inside prepares for a new album with friends in tow; the latest news on a new Lindemann album; the collaboration we never knew we wanted as David Hasslehoff looks set to work with Al Jourgensen from Minstry; and Funeral For a Friend prepare for a few reunion shows, all for a good cause.

As well as all that, there's new music and album from London post-metal mystery Sleep Token, Danish falsetto veteran King Diamond, metal's (potentially) only boy band Issues, and some good ol' sad bois in The Menzingers.

Album reviews then come from the also Danish rock n roll/Metallica/Danzig cauldron pot that is Volbeat and their album 'Rewind, Replay, Rebuild'; seasoned power pop maestro Geoff Palmer and his new solo effort 'Pulling Out All the Stops'; and the band that just took over the planet - again, Slipknot and their officially chart-topping hit 'We Are Not Your Kind'.
