In this two hour UK Thrash Metal special I get to catch up with old friends. Firstly Pete & Steve (insert ludicrous stage names here) from the pioneers of Mower Metal and heavy metal snails Lawnmower Deth. They have just released their first album since 1993, Blunt Cutters and we discuss how it came about, how and why it was recorded plus lots of laughs and memories from back in the day.
Then it's on to another old friend with a newish album out and that is Phil De Sade of Holosade. This interview dates back to July 2021, just after the release of their comeback album Anastasis. We chat about piecing a new line up together, touring in a pandemic and also get to talk old times and Acid Reign stealing Mac their bass player.
There is also the annual Howard's favourite top five albums of last year feature as well as the latest news including a judge owning Taylor Swift, good and not so good bay area comebacks and a mini Meat Loaf tribute.

In this episode I got to have a right old chat with legendary guitarist Bill Steer. We cover a myriad of topics in this seventy five minute interview including the writing, recording and release of their latest masterpiece Torn Arteries, the agonising wait for it's release and the prospect of touring in the current climate. You also get to some classic questions submitted by Patrons.
There is also the usual round of the latest news from the world of metal including a pop at Dave Ellefson, Tim Ripper Owens, KK Downing's Priest and a pigeon. Whilst there is praise for Rob Halford and I ask the question who the fuck is Mitch Malloy?
