Scars and Guitars

Michael Schenker. Immortal is the new album from Michael Schenker Group. As one of the most influential guitarists ever is there anything else that Michale can add to his legacy? There sure is. Immortal is a superb collection, and Michale is available to talk about the album and plenty of other topics.

Bill Hudson (NorthTale, Circle II Circle, Jon Oliva's Pain, I Am Morbid, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Udo Dirkschneider). ESP Guitars USA has posted on their Official Youtube Channel, a demonstration video, where Bill plays an instrumental arrangement of "Welcome To Paradise" by NorthTale. I asked Bill if he'd like to have a chat so here it is!

Mark Jansen (Epica). Omega is the name of Epica's new album which is due for release on February 2021. We also cover a heap of topics alongside the talking about the album.

Crystal Ignite. The Melbourne singer sweeps through the decades, building stadium-sized rock laced with pulsating electronica and deep, heavy grooves, such as on her new single, "Heed (A Call For Unity)". Crystal is a survivor of childhood abuse, so she discusses the topic throughout the episode as well.

Kimmo Kuusniemi (Sarcofagus). The Godfathers of Finnish heavy metal, fronted by filmmaker and guitarist Kimmo Kuusniemi, declares the band is done. Kaput. In this far-reaching conversation, Kimmo talks about the end of Sarcofagus and his future plans.

Dave Williams (Indigo). Perth based outfit Indigo has just launched a new single, "Everybody Knows". We discuss the single and a heap of worthy topics as well.

Nick Barker (Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir, Lock Up, Old Man's Child, Brujeria). Nick Barker is one of the greatest extreme metal drummers, his career spans 30 years and many colossal albums. He was in Cradle of Filth for the flawed magnum opus, Cruelty and the Beast, which is the reason I was keen to chat to him. Nick shares his thoughts and doesn't hold back, so it was great to hear him offer so much insight. A companion episode to the conversation with Cruelty guitarist Stuart Anstis.
