Podcast Episode 86: James Murphy
Monday Aug 31, 2020
Monday Aug 31, 2020
This month it is time for a catch up with one of my favourite guests, the one and only legendary guitarist James Murphy. For those that don\'t know James tuneful soloing influenced generations of extreme metal guitarists and made it OK to have a relationship with melody whilst also smashing out extreme, brutal metal. Whether it was in Death, Obituary, Testament or Cancer his trademark leads have become the stuff of legend and so have his interviews. If you haven\'t heard our chat from September 2017 I suggest you go listen that first then come back here. Either way this is another Bollocast just for you, lovingly prepared and ranted by my good self. It also contains opinions, advice and rambling that you may want to completely ignore. Especially at the end.

Podcast Episode 85: Legendary Photographer Tony Mottram August 2020
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
Tuesday Aug 18, 2020
In this months Bollocast I get to catch up with a friend. It is many, many years since Tony and I first met and that was when he became the first photographer to do a session with Acid Reign way back in the day. Whilst this was a highlight for us it was business as usual for Tony as he had/has photographed anyone and everyone in the world of entertainment never mind rock and metal. So sit back and listen to one of the absolute greats of the industry tell it like it is.There are all the usual ingredients you would expect from a Bollocast, flights of fancy, realism, introspection, honesty, confusion, exasperation, criticism, positivity, negativity and contradictions.

This month I get to have a chat with a death metal legend. Terry Butler has played on some of the genres classic releases and we talk all about how they came about, band dynamics and what lies ahead. Next I get to catch up with Whitney Moore. I was interviewed by Whitney for Tower Records so I decided to turn the tables and find out more about her story as a woman in the metal and rock scene. We also talk movies and one she has just completed that I will let her explain as I will do a terrible job. Throw in a few news stories, reviews, recommendations, rants, reveals, renditions, realisations, revelations and any other words that begin with R.

New EP Volition has just dropped so we chat about releasing new music for the first time in years, the upcoming album, how life can get in the way and we also both share similar singing lesson stories.
