Join Podcast Patreon
In this episode I welcome Mordred frontman Scott Holderby back to the show. We haven't spoken for a while so enjoy a catch up on how the bands most recent album The Dark Parade has been received. We also get into the history of thrash, western Swing and what part of a house the singer is.

Added to this is the usual collection of news reviews and accidental philosophy that you have learned to tolerate from me over the years.

April 13, 2022 Episode 117: Harley Flanagan Cro Mags
Join Podcast Patreon
In this episode I get to sit down with previous guest of The Motorcast the legend that is Harley Flanagan. In this conversation we had a chance to really go deep on his and the bands early years, what shaped their sound and a scene that shaped them as people. This is about as honest as it gets.

There is also the usual/unusual look at metal news, a load of ego, an apology for Dave Mustaine, shit for Blabbermouth, sympathy for Lifeson and the first ever Taking Bollocks Coach Trip threatens to become a thing.

March 30, 2022 Episode 116: Knox Colby Enforced
Join Podcast Patreon.
It's been a whole year since Knox and I had a chance to chat. When we did it was pretty epic and we ended up going well over time and saying we must do it again soon. Well when you're in a band, a year is kind of soon and here we are again. We get to discuss how the album has been received, how the new album is coming along and what exactly they got up to on the road. This was an all encompassing fun chat.

There is also the usual review of a few of the stories of the week and a review of a story a little closer to home.

March 15, 2022 Episode 115: Phil Demmel Vio-Lence
Join Podcast Patreon
It's time for a catch up with the Mr Help You Out On Guitar of metal, Phil Demmel. This chat finds Phil on the Overkill tour bus as he helps fill in for them but don't be fooled, this is all about Vio-Lence and their return to releasing new stuff. In this case the EP Let The World Burn. We talk all about how the songs came together, how they made the progression from shitty live band to the super tight set up they are now and what the future holds for Phil as well as Vio-Lence.
There is also a review of some of the major and not so major news stories, a melting brain, and the word documentary gets used a lot for no reason.

March 01, 2022 Episode 114: Metal Mashup Master Bill McClintock
Join Podcast Patreon
In this episode I go a little left of centre from the usual band member or producer interview and chat to THE Metal Mashup Master Bill McClintok. We talk about his early years in bands, learning and teaching guitar and his loathing of playing live. Most importantly he explains what makes a great mashup and what he looks for.

As always I review the metal news but with a little bit of a twist this month and finally finish off with a tribute to one of my heroes.
