This week... Expect lots of key changes and fist-pumping moments as we delve deep into the murky guilty pleasure... Power ballads! From Scorpions to Bonnie Tyler via Meatloaf and back around to Roxette, nothing is off the table... Well, aside from 'that' Aerosmith one... Oh and Padre reveals some SERIOUSLY questionable taste!

*Apologies for a few connection gremlins throughout this episode.

This week... we caught up with Neil 'Branny' Brannagan, creator & overlord of UK Thrashers to find out a little more about the work he does to support some of the UK's best young thrash bands... We discuss getting gigs & selling tickets, social media challenges, the burgeoning underground UK metal scene & the venues / promoters working tirelessly to put on shows. We may or may not get a little 'grumpy old men' along the way...

This week... Tregenza & Beandog had the absolute pleasure of an hour with Thomas Eriksen, the man behind one of the finest black metal bands around, MORK. We discuss the early days of Mork, the evolution from 'secret' project to playing shows in Katmandu via the Norwegian black metal scene and of course, the outstanding new record 'Syv'. There may or may not have been an animal invasion somewhere along the lines too...

This week... We're once again joined by Uncle Mike to look back on the biggest metal weekend of the UK festival calendar... The bits we can remember at least! We talk band performances (obviously), campsite shenanigans, food, booze, the general organisation (good bits n bad bits) and last but not least... Baldrick!

See you in 2025!

This week... Due to phenomenal demand, we welcome back our good friend Uncle Mike to help us look forward to another year of the UK's biggest metal festival... We go over the lineup across all stages, our key bands to check out, the food, the weather and some predictions for the 2025 announcement. Apologies for Tregenza's audio issues throughout, he may or may not have been recording in a cave!

This week... We are talking about a time long, long ago... Our childhood and the somewhat tenuous links between heavy metal with children's toys, cartoons & other desperate ideas... From the power metal might of HE-MAN to the doom-laden RACCOONS via (apparently) the death metal underbelly of Barbie & Ken... Yep, it's one of 'those' episodes...
