August 15, 2023 Episode 147: Ol Drake - Evile
Support Podcast Patreon
Ol is back and if you have ever heard of the four Yorkshiremen sketch? Well this is the thrash metal hour long equivalent! Not really BUT we do cover a huge amount of topics during this free-range conversational wander. Of course we cover the new album but we also get to song writing process, singing lessons, hyper focus, ADHD, moaners, the past, the present and the future.
There is a cursory review of the "news", some good, some bad, some devastating and some about a band that has a badger in it.
This Is Badger Bollocks.

July 31, 2023 Episode 146: Kev & Matt From The Fierce & The Dead
Support Podcast Patreon
Everything is different as it's an album release episode! News From The Invisible World came out on July 28th and I got to chat all about it with Matt & Kev. We end up discussing a lot more besides as this is a band with a LONG and somewhat complex past hence this is their first album for a very long time and first with vocals! There is lots to talk about.
There is a sort of review of the metal news but it's more an assault on the lack of real news than anything.

July 15, 2023 Episode 145: Music For Nations Label Boss Julie Weir
Support Podcast Patreon
In this episode I get to catch up with all around Metal Label Legend Julie Weir. Not only is Julie responsible for signing the three biggest UK metal bands of the last 30 years but she also now runs the Sony Music imprint Music For Nations. In a free flowing chat we get to cover everything from how the business has evolved and what young bands need to do now through to comparing 80's/90's gig notes and experiences.
There is the usual ransacking of recent "news" stories, some surprising candour and an opportunity to stream a movie on Thunderflix.
This Is Teutonic Bollocks.

June 30, 2023 Episode 144: Talkin’ Slayer With D.X. Ferris.
Support Podcast Patreon
The most self explanatory episode title I think I've ever had, it's time for the return of everyone's favourite Slayer author to the podcast DX Ferris! Yes we cover the hell out of Slayer and the whole Talkin' Slayer Podcast concept, delivery and launch.
As well as a bunch of other stuff that has nothing to do with Slayer more life in general. There is also a reduced but no less meaningful run through some of the weeks biggest stories in Metal. Stories that frankly are not stories and no one needs to hear about.
This Is Cunt Bollocks.

June 15, 2023 Episode 143: Jon Gallant - Billy Talent
Support Podcast Patreon
In this episode I am able to catch up with friend of the show and all round top man Jon Gallant bass player with those legendary Canadians Billy Talent. We discuss the bands rise and rise throughout Europe where they have become firm favourites due to constant touring over the last twenty (!) years. This also takes place at the venue so a real throwback to old episodes for those old school bollockers out there.
Then I run through what has been going on with Slipknot, who rattled Ellefson's cage? Watchtower return and Gene Simmons takes part in his favourite Q&A ever.
