That's Not Metal

After releasing one of the most groundbreaking albums in the recent history of rock music, Beez sits down with Caro Tanghe of Oathbreaker to discuss their landmark album, Rheia, just how far a person is willing to push themselves physically and mentally for their art and how you difficult it is to take art that delves into the darkest parts of your emotions on the road and onto the stage. This is an interview not to be missed.

Hill and Beez laugh in the face of criticisms of this year's Bloodstock festival and the NME's Mastodon 'review', there are album reviews from Falling In Reverse, Jacob Bannon of Converge's Wear Your Wounds project and The Flatliners, a report from Creeper's TNM associated headline tour and our Album Club is on one of the 90s most decadent and brilliant albums, Monster Magnet's Power Trip.

Beez catches up with Bill and Brann from Mastodon to talk about their quite frankly incredible new album, Emperor Of Sand. The concepts, the inspirations and the full story behind one of the year's best albums. Dive right in.

Stephen Hill catches up with Nergal (you'll know him from Behemoth) and British songwriter John Porter to chat in-depth about their new project, Me And That Man. What do an extreme metal artist and a folk songwriter have in common? How did this project come to pass? How do they define their new album, Songs Of Love And Death? All of this plus a few tasty morsels about Behemoth's follow up to The Satanist, only on today's TNM Extra.

We have no idea how many questions we asked (it’s just a good title) as Hill & Beez travel back in time to tackle one of those old school MySpace quizzes in what is one of the all-time greatest podcasts we’ve ever recorded. What’s their favourite chocolate bar? When was the last time they cried? Why are goats such massive pricks? This is one of those specials where you’re going to get funny looks when you start cracking up whether at home or in public. Hill & Beez on the form of their life. Enjoy, apologies about the Steel Panther interview but we are certain that you’ll agree that this more than makes up for it.

Hill and Beez get into the raging argument on Metallica's ticket prices, new tracks from Weezer and Blink 182, the ultimate summer bands, new albums from Steel Panther, Sorority Noise and Fit For An Autopsy, there's gig reviews from Gojira/Code Orange/Car Bomb and Helmet in the UK and Enter Shikari, The Menzingers, Darkest Hour and Paul Stanley's Soul Station in the States and our Album Club is on CKY's Infiltrate.Rebuild.Destroy. Yup, this show is stacked and it'll make you never look at your parents in the same way again.

As Enter Shikari rampage around planet earth celebrating the 10th Anniversary of their debut album, Take To The Skies, Beez sits down for a chat with Rou Reynolds to talk about the band's early days, the album itself and what to expect from this tour and their headline dates at Slam Dunk Festival. There's also talk on their new hardback book, Dear Future Historians, a chat about how the new album is shaping up, how being politically active is shaping the words for that new album and just what is his beef with Sorry, You're Not A Winner? All that and more in this exclusive TNM chat.

Hill and Beez answer your excellent questions in the aftermath of last week's Great Metal Summit, chat about Eddie Vedder's expensive tickets and the week's rock and metal news, review the new albums from Darkest Hour, Havok and Can't Swim and, after the news that they are to split following a farewell tour, there's a bittersweet look at HIM's Venus Doom in Album Club.
