The Metal Block

Lurking in the shadows, Zoomy and Brutal Brando find themselves in complete darkness.  They immediately sense they cannot make a sound.  In fact, the only way forward will require complete stealth.  This is not a place you can just die and kill!  This is real life!  Could it be too risky?  Nah, never! 

It’s here they run into the band Nothingness!  Join the fun as we hang out with Clay, Alex, and Xen!  They give us the inside scoop.  Starting with the recent album “Godslaughter”.  We talk about how the music is made, what drives the creative process, and what to expect from the band going forward.  Tune in and hear about the new release, and the new beer.  I mean, a metalhead making brutal tunes feels more like a metalhead with a bottle of suds.  Amiright?!  Whatevery you do, don’t count all your pennies!  The taxman cometh!  100% Brutality Guaranteed!!!

Featuring the song “Incinerated Immediately” from their recent album Godslaughter
