Episode 289: Elvin Csizmadia - Guitar/Vocals Eradikated

Patreon Sign Up

I get to have a chat with Elvin from Swedish thrashers Eradikated. They first came to my attention with their debut album Desendents which I liked and now they have blown that out the water with the epic Wiring Of Violence. We talk all about their history which began way before Eradikated even came into existence and how exactly they came to be nominated for a Swedish Grammy! There is also a news section that includes several gifts that keep on giving. This Is Pyjama Bollocks. Video Interview Eradikated Listen & Preorder Acid Reign Album Release Party

Episode 288: Brandon Battick & The Pet Shop Boys

Patreon Good Stuff

Let me explain. First up my good friend and fellow stand up comic and metal geek Brandon returns to the show who you may know from his excellent podcast Disturbing The Priest. We get into all sorts of metal chat as he was preparing for a bay area special when we recorded this, we also chat about comedy, roasts and Pink Floyd. That is followed by my chat with Pet Shop Boys fan Colin whilst he was queueing to see them at The Electric Ballroom. Why did I do this? Why is it on a metal podcast? Because you have more in common with Colin than you would ever think. I finish with a very short news section. This Is Autism Thrash Bollocks. Brandon Video Interview Disturbing The Priest Podcast
