Rat Lord is the side project, Blood Command is the main gig and I sat down with song writer, producer Yngve who is the main man in both for a chat. We get into how to write a song that's only a minute long, his life on the road that began at the age of fifteen (!) and what a great down to earth performer Taylor Swift is. There is also, for once an actual, genuine news story but unfortunately it's a pretty serious one for all concerned including yours truly. This Is Cat Bollocks. Video Interview

It seems like an age since I last had one of the worlds most learned Slayer experts on the show, so here is my mate DX. We discuss the embryonic rise of his Podcast Talkin' Slayer. There is so much to get into that we forget the time and go deep! How did he came up with it? How it went down? What the plans are for the future? Why steal the title from me? The BIG questions. As always I skip through the metal news from the last fortnight and try to make sense of it all. This Is Well Rehearsed Bollocks.

Alternative title for this episode is the dude who did that killer Life Of Agony documentary! Leigh is back at it but at the other end of the metal scale with his killer Netfilx doc Hate To Love the story of Nickelback. We go in deep on what started out as a promo shoot for a single ended up being a full length documentary featuring the incredible highs and family shattering lows of the bands career to date. As always I also decide what is news, what isn't and what I think. This Is Nickelback Bollocks.

In this episode I am joined by two preachers from the church of Cancer Christ. This is without doubt one of the most enjoyable and fun interviews I've done in recent memory. We discuss how Cancer Christ came to be and their new album God Is Violence. As always I scuttle through the news denouncing anyone for doing anything and dispensing completely unasked for opinions on it all. This Is Cancer Bollocks.

At last I have Mammal on the podcast! Australia's best kept musical secret and an all time favourite of mine have released their first album for 16 years "The Penny Drop" and we talk all about it and what they got up to in the intervening years. There's music included for you too. The non news is skated over in typical glib fashion with chastisement for God and Stryper, laughter for Brent Smith and strangely admiration for.... KI$$. This Is Melbourne Bollocks.
