Myself and Howard had a great chat with Con Doyle founding member and guitarist of doom/sludge purveyors Soothsayer. The Irish Metal Scene is waiting with bated breath for the new release and having been given the full album to listen to, it certainly is a mind blower! There was plenty to talk about and with Howard as co-host, the stories flowed as easily as the drink. Soothsayers "Echoes of the Earth" will definitely be amongst the best releases in 2021 not only in Ireland but further afield as

I was joined by Danielle, Evan, Jack and our special guest Andy Clarke from The Crawling as we run through our favourite releases of 2020 in the Irish Metal Scene. Plenty of different views and debates over some of the finest releases in 2020. We had a lot of categories to go through and it was a testament to the quality of Irish Metal that so many bands were nominated and received high praise from all of us on the Forums. So congratulations to all that topped our favourite music/merch in 2020

Myself and Jack met up with John Cooke (Guitars) and Tom Dring (Drums) of Corrupt Moral Altar to discuss the release of their ferocious new e.p "Patiently Waiting for Wonderful Things". Their mix of grind, sludge, punk and hardcore has won them admirers in the U.K since 2012. We also talk to John about his tours with Napalm Death, Venomous Concept and Anaal Nathrakh as a live guitarist and Tom, who runs Vagrant Recordings, where he produces a whole manner of filth for bands like Venom Prison,

I'm joined by Alex of Abysm/Worn Out, Ciaran of Astralist/Coroza and Shane Murphy of Golgotha to talk about their brilliant solo projects they all released this year to widespread critical acclaim in the Metal community. The creative spirit that the lads showed in getting a quality digital self release in these uncertain times is to be applauded. We talk about the journey that they embarked on from working with early ideas to the final product. The fact it found a receptive audience was one of the

Molarbear are veterans of the Northern Ireland metal scene, so I was delighted to chat with Andy, Adi and Rowan about how the band came to be, unusual song titles and a new demo of songs I received from them. The new material will certainly delight Molarbear fans, short fast and brutal riffs alongside some excellent rhythms and vocals. The brilliant Storklord will have a worthy successor once the lads can get into a studio and fine tune their efforts. I get a great insight into the band and their

Since they were formed in 2009, Psykosis have built up an impressive array of supports to M.O.D, DRI, Diamond Head, Sacred Reich, Trivium, Sodom, Onslaught and Nuclear Assault to name a few. Due to their incendiary live shows, which saw them been invited to play Bloodstock twice and Metal Days in Slovenia, Psykosis have built up a large following of fans in the Irish

Conor "Dock" Dockery could be described as a vital cog in the music scene, be it writing tunes with his band The Scratch, people referencing his previous work with Red Enemy or his work behind the lens, filming artists from a multitude of music genres. Myself and Evan get a great insight on "Dock" as he fills us in on the rollercoaster of a career he experienced in the music scene, since he embarked on it during his teens. It's also to "Docks" credit that he answered the hard questions about Red

I was delighted to welcome Ainsley (Singer) and Ronan (Drums) of Scathed to the show. I have been a long time admirer of the band when I heard "Petrify". They got Kelvin Doran of Serpent Tusk Studio to design the fantastic artwork for their brilliant E.P "Where the truth lies" and the rest as they say is history. Scathed is built around heavy rhythms, direct riffs and Ainsley's diverse vocals, which when blended together creates their unique sonic attack. Danielle and myself had a great chat with

Formed in 2014, Restive Nation have navigated their way through many styles of music whilst keeping it really interesting for the listener. Mixing elements of Metal, Rock, Ambient and Electronic music, they refuse to fall into the usual trap of being defined as a one trick pony. We talk about the advantages of this, song writing, working with so many diverse vocalists and forth coming plans. It's an interesting snap shot of a

An album that took four years to make and it certainly was worth the weight. A mixture of raw, heavy Blackened Metal that is not afraid to put in some hooks to pull in the mainstream Metal fans. We talk about the influence of having Josh Robinson producing and the lads give us an exclusive run down on each track. Even though the gigs have dried up Horrenda are

Returning in 2019 with the brilliant and critically acclaimed "The Age Of Entitlement", the rebooted band seems more serious than ever, with vocalist Howard ‘H’ Smith as sole
