Now with even less Christmas.

A sniffly edition of the Desolation Sounds Podcast as this week, Steven runs down the recent S&M2 show from Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony, then album reviews go to brooding gothic queen Chelsea Wolfe, a expletive-riddled look at pop punk titans Blink-182, traditional Mongolian folk music blended with western rock and metal in the form of The HU, and maturing gracefully in the main event is heartland punk heroes The Menzingers.

Plus stick around to the very end of this week's show where I have been given super special permission to show off the brand new track Bury-based blackened thrash/punk mob Pist which you can hear in full.
