They talk about the bands debut of their new frontman at this years Bloodstock, the UK scene and what to do with their new album.Combine this with praise for Prong, bile for the Butcher Babies and surprise praise for a previously maligned singer this is a long, long, long crazy journey.

Or not. Next it is off to see Metal Lina for Lebanese coffee and Belgian biscuits. Lina has been involved with metal at great personal risk as metal is illegal in Lebanon, in a fascinating chat she reveals just how tight the government censorship laws grip on metal is. You risk arrest for even owning a metal CD. Completed by an all time epic rant about Facebook and the usual scattergun approach to metal news this is what you listen for.
