Episode 244: Kyle From Exhorder

Support The Podcast

Kyle is back on the show to talk mainly about new killer album Defectum Omnium. I say mainly because this was Kyle's last interview of the day so there is a bit of an "end of term" vibe to this chat which covers everything from vocal warm downs to Black Sabbath cover bands.

There is an extended look at the news as I get way too exercised about the non stories of the last two weeks. Ever heard of the band Idles? Thought not.

Episode 243: Zoltan From Ektomorf

Support Podcast Patreon

This episode's guest is Zoltan Farkas vocalist/guitarist, founder and creator of legendary Hungarian outfit Ektomorf. We start out talking about their great new album "Vivid Black" and what inspired it and that leads to a place that leaves you in no doubt what the underlying motivations were. Sometimes I am lucky enough to speak with people who are willing to go wherever the conversation takes us and this is one of those occasions.

There is also the usual cursory run through the news and not news of the last few weeks which include a few stories that aren't stories, statements that aren't statements, people getting well and people getting kicked out.

This Is Two Hour Bollocks.

Episode 242: Best Albums Of 2023 & Heitham From Senser

Support The Podcast

For the tenth time in a row the year starts with my favourite albums of the last year but in a first it's a top ten (sort of) instead of a top five. Once all of that is out of the way Heitham of Senser and I have a chat prior to their awesome December show at the 100 club, Oxford Street. We talk music, pandemics and food as well as resolving to have a longer catch up soon.

There is a cut down review of the news but boy does someone get some stuff off their chest.

Ten Years - Pay Your Debts

Yes it's ten years of Talking Bollocks and to celebrate I drafted in my good friend Old Head to interview... Me! We had a blast and I'm sure you'll enjoy hearing all the behind the scenes stories.

As always there is a blast through the news which includes: Dismay for Belladonna, distain for Ki$$, praise for Osborne, concern for Rush, honesty from Dickinson & respect for Sepultura.

Episode 240: Adam & Dylan Are Fermentor

Please Support The Podcast

In nearly ten years of this show I have the first instrumental band on the podcast. These guys play in a number of bands as you will hear, the most well known one of which is friends of the show Atheist. With a new Fermentor album about to drop the lads got in touch and I am so glad they did as the twisted metal landscapes these guys create are quite something to behold. The resulting interview is fun, informative and in depth as I ask the questions that need asking, what have you got against singers?!

There is brief jog through the news and actual major metal stories, some clumsy ill thought out metaphors and disappointment in some metal icons.

Episode 239: Pascal Davayat Cowboy Bootmaker To The Stars

Support The Podcast

I catch up with former Motörcast guest and bootmaker extraordinaire Pascal Davayat. He has made boots for so many famous rockers like Lemmy and Dee Snider but his own story is even more amazing. We touch on all sorts of topics from music to film from architectural brutalism to the Bullet Boys and don't forget nearly being run over by Warren Beatty and lots of 80s metal chat! There is also my latest run in with the news where an old friend comes back for the last time and I have the biggest breaking story in metal!
