Who Art Thou?

Today I am joined on the podcast by Mikey, Mark and Dylan of Pain In Vain!
We'll be chatting about the band's latest single, Archangel', that was released yesterday!
The band's first single in almost 2 years and the single acts as the band's return to their signature version of Metalcore.
We'll be covering the origins of the song, the recording process and what the band has in store for the rest of the year - Make sure to catch the band this Friday supporting Ren Marabou and the Berserkers in Fibbers!

Today I am going to be joined by Gav of the Groove-core Belfast band, Survivalist!
I have quite a lotta ground to cover with Gav in this episode, we had plenty to talk about!
Firstly, we'll of course be chatting about the band's brilliant brand new album, 'A Place For Those Who Suffer, Alone', which was released in January. We'll be chatting about how that album came together, going through the tracks, the recording process, the complexities that went into recording it and the features.
Then we'll be chatting about, which caught me by surprise, the band are already back in the studio working on an EP that is set to be released this year. So we'll be getting early insight into what this EP is shaping up to sound like.
I'll of course be talking to Gav also about the band's awesome Slipknot cover of 'Sic', that was released in November.
Then finally we'll be talking about the band's next two big shows, which are at the Limelight in Belfast tomorrow and their Sound House show in Dublin on Saturday which both sound like very special shows so make sure to grab a ticket!

Today on the podcast I am joined by Michael Smyth for his third appearance on this podcast and his second appearance with his new band, the Belfast shoegazers, Silk!
Myself and Michael had quite a lot to cover in this particular episode.
We'll first be talking about his previous band, Virgins, and why that band has disbanded, how they ended the band, their final show and how that process lead into the music he works on now with Silk!
We'll then be covering Silk's upcoming release, a mini album titled 'Auralux', which is set for release in May. The mini-record has one single out at the moment, a visceral and cinematic tune that sets the stage for what fans can expect when the full release is out. We'll be going through the whole release, from inception, to recording, to the inspiration to Jim Carrey.
I have heard the mini-album and there is a serious heft and raucousness to the release, it's going to blow people away when they get to hear it.
On top of all this the band, will have an extensive touring schedule over the year so make sure to grab tickets when you get the chance!

Today on the podcast I am joined by Conor and Kyle of the Metallic Hardcore band, LaVein!
We will be chatting about the band's latest single, Puncture Wounds, which was released earlier this month and stands as the first bit of new music from the band in almost 3 years. I'll be going over with the band how the band's music has developed over that time period, the recording process of the single and what the single explores thematically.
I had loved this band since the moment I saw them play Metal 2 The Masses in Fibbers, a competition which they ended up winning and they are a band that never to blow me away with their incredible live performances and their brand of side splitingly heavy music - This was a huge treat for myself to have them on the show!
Make sure to catch the band opening for Stompin' Ground in August!
