  • Podcast #58 - Election's impact on US Visa, and Songwriting Royalty Splits
    Uncertain times in America with a new President taking the reigns, how will this affect overseas bands touring there? Cabba and Ash discuss the possibilities and direct you to organisations such as Tamizdat and Play America who specialise in US artist visas.

    We also chat about recent negotiating between Bandcamp and ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association), meaning that sales on Bandcamp will now count towards a band's position on the ARIA Charts. This also led to discussions on songwriting royalties, and some different ways to think about how to split ownership of songs within your band.

  • Podcast #55 - Razor Ray (Bane of Isildur/Metal) commentates Blind Guardian
    If you're a long time listener of the podcast, then you'll know about Razor Ray. He's become a hit within the Blodgecast ranks for no apparent reason, and he's a super huge Blind Guardian fan, so it made sense for us to combine both. Here he is in an extended episode where we watch the DVD "Blind Guardian - Imaginations Through The Looking Glass" along with the show. For maximum effect, press play on your DVD player at the start of the episode!!!
