S10E267: Bob Mitchell: It Ain't Over 'Til it's Over -
We welcome back the one and only Bob Mitchell, the front-man behind legendary bands like Nighthunter, Sleepy Hollow, Attacker, Sceptor, Warloc, Wycked Synn, Mind Assassin, Blackstarr, The Hounds of Hasselvander, Vyndykator, and Alchemy X. This marks his third appearance on the show, and he's bringing some exciting news to the table. But this isn't just another shop talk session. We'll delve into Bob's world beyond the stage, exploring his retirement, his courageous journey through stroke recovery, and the joys of family life. Get ready for a heartwarming ride that will leave you inspired of this metal icon's resilience and zest for life. Of course, no episode with Bob would be complete without a touch of wrestling nostalgia. We'll put his knowledge to the test with a wrestling trivia curveball (though the accuracy might be debatable, adding to the fun).

S10E266: Desekrator: Inverted Tracksuits
Get ready to plunge into the abysmal depths of blackened death metal with Rochester's unholy sextet known as Desekrator. How does it feel to have not one, but two vocalists spewing forth the anguished cries of the damned? With six intense personalities crammed into one rehearsal room (and in our studio), tensions are bound to run high - but do these metallic brothers share an unbreakable bond forged in the fires of hell, or is their "bromance" a mere facade, concealing a seething cauldron of chaos and conflict? We'll uncover the inspirations and creative forces behind this auditory onslaught, and get a glimpse into the band's future. What does one wear to summon the forces of darkness and unleash annihilation upon the masses? Nothing says "brutal" like a well-coordinated ensemble of inverted tracksuits. Don't miss this opportunity to descend into the abyss with Desekrator, listen to their latest single Empire of Rot, and bask in the glorious highs and soul-crushing lows. Be sure to check them out live at the House of Guitars 6/1 and the Montage 6/7.
