12Gauge Rampage releases their debut album 'Unleash The Rage' on August 5th through Grindhead Records. No better time to catch up with the bassist Glen Hurry to chew the fat about the album and a heap of other topics sure to catch your attention. Stay tuned right to the end as I pay tribute to two fallen titans of metal.

Warrior Within is a Sunshine Coast-based outfit producing some of the gnarliest thrash inspired heavy metal of 2021. I invited the brothers' Tass & Toli Hadoulis to talk about the recently released singles "Pagan Spirit" and "Last Blaze of the Phoenix". We cover a heap of topics in addition to the singles so check it out!

Matt is one of Australia's most gifted and productive extreme metal and rock guitarists. His new outfit is the full-on rock of Shotgun Mistress and he's on hand to tell us all about the group's debut. We touch on a heap of topics and cover his many other bands as well.

After hearing the tune "Holy Fire" from their upcoming EP Lagrange Point Vol I, I thought it'd be a great idea to chat with Sullo and get the low down all about the band. This is a far-reaching conversation that takes in topics related to the band, the Australian music industry, the bass guitar, and a heap more!

Light the Torch has just released a cracker of an album called You Will Be the Death of Me via Nuclear Blast and Francesco is on hand to discuss. A heap of great topics in this conversation relating to the album, Fran's approach to the guitar sound on the album and battling through debilitating heat and pain. Fran also shares his thoughts on recruiting band members.

Sebasthian Bentos-Pereira is the vocalist in south-western Sydney via Gladstone, Queensland's excellent blackened groove band, Beleth. On the back of the quality of the epic full-length album Silent Genesis I reached out to the group's publicist for a chat and found Sebasthian to be a phenomenal conversationalist in addition to his talent as a vocalist and songwriter. Beleth is the sound of the underground at its best!

Martin Mendez is the colossal bassist in Opeth and the man at the helm of the prog-rock fusion/ death metal outfit White Stones. The sophomore album from White Stones is called Dancing Into Oblivion and Martin is on hand to chat about the record and many other topics such as Opeth.
