Scars and Guitars

Motherslug is the bastard child of Sleep and Electric Wizard after a night of drinking and drugging with Neurosis and Kyuss, very heavy stuff! The group's gargantuan sound must be heard to be believed, which is why guitarist and riff lord Regan was asked to testify on the show. In this chat, we dive deep into the mechanics behind the group's monstrous sound and have a grand old time celebrating their killer new album, Blood Moon Blues.

A titan of extreme metal guitar performance, the great Stuart Anstis left this mortal coil on August 21, 2022. He will long be remembered through his songcraft and musicianship, which can be heard across Cradle of Filth's game-changing albums, Dusk and Her Embrace and Cruelty and the Beast. Throughout this tribute, Daniel Mitchell (Autumns Eyes) and I wax lyrical, diving into what makes Stuart's guitar playing and songwriting so colossal and why his enduring influence will continue well into the future.

Vale, Stuart Anstis, 2/5/1974 - 21/8/2022.

Steve and The Church are playing select dates across Australia in early September 2022, which is why we have an opportunity to chat. Throughout the discussion, Steve talks about his bass playing, an old encounter with Bauhaus's Peter Murphy and the friendship that could have been, and a deep cut within his solo career that he more or less had forgotten about, among other choice subjects.

Tim Smolens (bass, keyboards, cello, vocals) and Chris Bogen (guitars, analog synths, noise collages) are the guests on the show discussing the brilliant album from High Castle Teleorkestra, called The Egg That Never Opened. This band is for you if you're a fan of Mr Bungle, especially the Disco Volante (95) and California (99) albums. Throughout the conversation, the gents discuss the music, themes and concepts explored across the album.

In this conversation with Leni, we cover a heap of topics, including the excellent new album from A Rising Force called Eclipse. This episode is notable as we expand the conversation into socio-political subjects, something I hope I can do more over the next phase of the podcast. Thanks to Leni for an epic encounter, one I hope we can repeat!
