They talk about the new album 'Pathos', which is being released on 1st July 2022 and whether Conor feels any pressure following up on 'Mire'. They also talk about their last tour in the US with Rivers of Nihil and the tattoo Connor got, his favourite track on the new album and an interesting fact on their new song 'Basilisk'. Oh, Venny also pushes Conor on the release of the next Sylosis album.

Joey and Venny had the pleasure of sitting down with Wilkie, bass player for Malevolence. On the eve of their new album being released on 20th May, we got to ask the million dollar question. 

Are Malevolence finally getting recognised for all their hard-work and graft? 

Wilkie, was 100% open and honest which always makes a great chat. He is also hilariously funny and had Joey and Venny in stitches.

The interview is also available on our you tube channel 'Heavy Matters'.

Joey continues on his Australian adventure. This time, he sat down with Chris & Lachy from Mountain Wizard Death Cult talking about all sorts including; details on their new album, signing to Blighttown records and Lachy's drum set-up.

Joey managed to sit down with two people from the music business who rarely if ever, do interviews. To get Lisa Coverdale from Hold Tight PR and Ted 'Rocks' from Primordial rock radio is quite a scoop. There was no set agenda for this. We just got together and let the conversation run. The outcome was us talking about the future headliners of festivals and festivals in general. Who does it better, Europe or the UK? Also, Ted throws in some gems of wisdom.  

Joey had the privilege of sitting down with Erik, frontman of Swedish Black Metal lords 'Watain'. We talked about the new album 'The Agony & Ecstasy of Watain', whether Erik considers the band to now be mainstream and the evolution of Watain.
