Scars and Guitars

Josh (vocals) and Ian (guitar) are in Western Australia based extreme metal outfit Kimura. They have a killer new album out on October 21, 2021, called Circle The Prey. We battle internet connectivity issues to talk about the album, what's been happening in the band, and many other worthy topics!

Sam and Alasdair are two-thirds of Nesher, a killer Australian metal 'supergroup'. Their debut single is called "Preservation of Privilege", and it's out now. Throughout this chat, they cover the reasons behind the band's formation, why they enjoy performing brutal metal and as you have (hopefully) come to expect from the show, a dive into topics relating to social issues.

Black metallers Ghost Bath are proving the doubters wrong with their stunning new album, Self Loather which will be released on 19th November via Nuclear Blast. Frontman Dennis Mikula was available to share his thoughts in the album, Ghost Bath's comparisons to Deafheaven, and the time he trolled a Vice/ Noisey contributor who assumed the group were from Chongqing, China!

The legendary Swedish death metallers Hypocrisy release their new album Worship (their first in 8 years) on 26th November 2021 via Nuclear Blast. A chat with main man Peter Tägtgren about the album isn't complete unless we cover his extensive production credits, so we talk about his work with Celtic Frost, Immortal, and many more!

Dave is back with a new single called "Teargas in August" and promises to be the first of many cuts he plans on releasing. We chat about the song, his reasons for performing and recording again and yes, we cover his days in Talk Show, a band that featured Stone Temple Pilots members Robert and Dean DeLeo and Eric Kretz.

The catalyst for this chat is the new single from Gangs of Old Ladies called "Raped by Ghosts". We talk about musical pursuits, although this chat is notable for the number of other topics we cover, you will gain a deep insight into Jekyll's thoughts on a range of subjects, so enjoy!

The legendary Carcass releases their first new album in 8 years, 'Torn Arteries', on 17th September via Nuclear Blast. The release presented an opportunity to chat with Bill about the album and dive into subjects relating to his superb career as one of the most influential guitarists in extreme metal. I chatted with bassist/ vocalist Jeff Walker before Bill and asked if he thought carcass had been a key inspiration for the 'Gothenburg' sound. You'll hear Bill's take on the subject and much, much more.
