This episode is all about catching up with my old mates and we get straight down to discussing their new album Seven Words, how it came about, who did what and their touring plans involving Artillery, Whiplash & Vio-Lence.

 

As always I have a sprint through the news and pick out a few articles that catch my eye. There is news on Metallica but not the news Dave Mustaine was hoping for. There's news from a singer no one cares about and his one album of fame, news about who is going to be the new singer in a band no one cares about all rounded off for respect for some 80s bands and THE Death Metal Legend.

After bumping into Tom & Jack of Steel Mage at Bloodstock this summer and having a really good chat we decided to do exactly that again on the podcast. We go deep into what it is like for a young band trying to get noticed, getting gigs and of course how to fit work and education into the picture as well. 

 

There is, as usual, a run through various news stories including Shinedown climb down, The Sword falling on theirs and Chris Jericho communes with the dead.

In this episode I was able to catch up with Jesse & Jesus from Underlord on the eve of the release of their debut EP Groundbreaker. Jesse and Jesus are names you may remember as members of the Newstead band. Here they discuss the whirlwind that was their time in the band, how it all came together and how it ended. Now, all these years later, it's all come together for them again and we discuss what made them bring Underlord to life. 

 

In addition there is a rant through the news with the usual amount of praise and distain for everything from fans helping bands to fans hindering bands and Blackie Lawless as an old farmer from the deep south.

In this episode I catch up with Crawling Through Tartarus guitarist Kevin Corbiel. The band were caught up in unwanted headlines in April of this year when, during a show they were playing a shooting occurred which killed one audience member and injured four others including the bands vocalist Matt Holzboog. In this interview Kevin explains exactly what happened, how it went down and tries to make sense of an experience no one, never mind a musician should ever go through.

Added to that there is the usual sprint through news stories that have caught my eye, click bait, heart felt well wishing, documentary updates, moving video clips and Gold Discs being handed out for nonexistent albums.

This Is Old Bollocks. 

For those of you who don't know David passed away very recently. This interview first appeared on episode six of Talking Bollocks. 

I went to interview Bobby from Overkill and Soilwork were playing this show with them as well so I jumped at the chance to chat to Bjorn & David. They were on the back of The Living Infinite which had blown me away and I was excited to talk them about it.

In this Episode Dave and I go all around the houses, it's more a case of what don't we talk about! We get involved in discussions about driving, comedy, kids, Covid, kids with Covid, being self employed, supply chain issues effecting the music industry, Dave takes over and interviews me for a bit and we even talk about their new album Netherheaven.

 

Added to that is the unusual look at the news which includes a rant about one of my favourite countries, pointless Ozzy footage that you can't watch, a moan about Blabbermouth and clickbait, a knock at the door and an as yet unnamed singer no one gives a fuck about.
