"ROYAL THUNDER are a four-piece rock band based out of Atlanta, Georgia that seamlessly blend the elements of heavy classic rock, 90's grunge, and forward-thinking progressive rock. Propelled by the powerfully emotional voice of frontwoman Mlny Parsonz, the guitar heroics of Josh Weaver, and the dynamic drums of Evan Diprima, ROYAL THUNDER have been described by NPR as “a revved-up Southern hard-rock that howls like Led Zeppelin astride a psychedelic unicorn” and as "magnificently compelling rock music" by Decibel Magazine. Formed in 2004 by Weaver, his brother, and his best friend, the band went through several lineup changes over the years before settling on their current lineup, which also incorporated second guitarist Will Fiore as of 2015."

Ben talked with Josh Weaver about their new album, Wick, his experience at live shows and his favourite albums.

Aired 11th May 2017.

"ENTOMBED A.D.’s legacy goes way back into the year 1987 when the band originally formed under the name Nihilist. In 1989, the group changed its name to Entombed, they established themselves as masters of Swedish death metal before flavouring the trademark “Stockholm sound” with a more punkish, rocking edge that culminated in the ultimate death ‘n’ roll classic “Wolverine Blues” in 1993, an album still very much present in the band’s current sound.

ENTOMBED A.D. released their first album ‘Back To The Front’ under the new name in 2014 and followed it up with 2016’s ‘Dead Dawn’"

Ben talked with L.G. Petrov about their Australian tour, writing music and how he first came to the microphone.

"Forged in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Australia,Harlott is the finest example of the thrash metal genre in recent years. Taking their influence from the 80's bay area thrash scene, and blending it with the Teutonic melody and grit, they focus on high energy, up tempo music with lyrical influence from war, religion, chaos, and the human condition. Unrivaled live concerts, an aggressive recognizable sound, clinical musicianship, and a classic "Aussie" sense of humour have earned Harlott a strong and dedicated fan base, which continues to grow day to day."

Ben talked to Andrew Hudson about the new album, recording with a label and the state of the world.
