They only made their debut in Australia back in March for Download Festival and they impressed the masses so much, they heading back almost a year later for their own headline shows so we can really see what New Years Day are made of and to get you all keen, frontwoman Ash Costello is this week's special guest co-host.
The two-toned rocker goes back in time with podcast host Browny to talk about why it's taken the band so long to get down under and what the go is with her mesmerising hair! The pair also go over her influences growing up, blending pop with metal and why you'll never see her making an acting cameo in a movie, despite being a HUUUGE Harley Quin fan and her band appearing on the Suicide Squad soundtrack.
We also check out the two powerful new songs from We Came As Romans, their first taste of new music since the passing of frontman Kyle Pavone last year, a segment that'll surely bring a few tears to your eyes as you get through their latest offerings.
Plus there's throwbacks from Marilyn Manson, My Chemical Romance, AFI, Paramore, Crazy Eighty-Eight and Motionless in White, new music for Five North and so much more!

It's bittersweet when a band have to release an album following the passing of a key band member (or any member for that matter) but HELLYEAH are in this exact situation following the sudden death of drummer Vinnie Paul last year, just after he had wrapped up recording his drum parts for the band's new album Welcome Home. Instead of shelving the idea and band completely, the members decided to keep Vinnie's legacy alive and continue on with the outfit and the release of his last pieces of work he ever did.
On this week's podcast, frontman Chad Gray goes into detail about the journey he and his bandmates faced following the tragedy, including where he was when he received that dreaded phone call, what made them push through and finish off the album and just how much of it Vinnie heard before he left this earth. Now there's wasn't much room to ask questions because Chad had ALOT to offer and talk about in what podcast host Browny has called one of the most emotionally driven interviews he has ever conducted in his entire career. Strap yourself in, grab the tissues and get ready to hear all about this incredible piece of work from HELLYEAH.
There's also plenty of New Music to get through from Bad Wolves, Bare Bones, Lindemann, Ghost, Jinjer, New Years Day and SHVPES, throwbacks from Pantera (of course) and Disturbed + more!

G'day legends, we're back with arguably one of the best, funniest and most loved men in metal, Mr Adam Dukewitz (aka Adam D) of Killswitch Engage joining this week's show to chat about the band's forthcoming album Atonement. Not only is Adam the producer of the album, but he also shares stories of what happened when former frontman Howard Jones headed back into the studio with them to record guest vocals on 'The Signal Fire', a track which podcast host Browny is calling "Song of the Year" and something that is going to ignite a fire and unite all fans of the band new and old, hopefully putting an end to the comparisons which have plagued forums for years.
Adam also gives fans an update on Times of Grace, his melodic side-project with KSE frontman Jesse Leach who have been working on a new album for what seems to be an eternity now, but it may not be that much longer until we finally hear our first taste of new music...
Talking about new tunes, we play brand new songs from TOOL, Korn, Bad Wolves and Slipknot, throwbacks from Flyleaf, Metallica, In This Moment and Trivium + more!

07/08/19 • 64 min

Australia's heavy music scene is thriving right now with so many fantastic upcoming bands worthy of your attention and one band in particular we've had the pleasure of reporting on for a while now is Gravemind who are about to unveil their new album Conduit upon the world and their legion of loyal fans (and superfan Darcy), so what better way to build more hype for it than to get the big guy himself, frontman Dylan Gillies-Parsons on for a chat all about it.
The man goes into detail about the band's fanbase who are not only some of the most loyal followers ever witnessed by a new band but some of the most dedicated and hardworking news spreaders keen to see the band do well. Dylan also discusses some of the new album's heavy/thought-provoking themes which have resonated with plenty of listeners, some of which may not have been gravy fans before hearing songs like 'Volgin' and their latest single 'Phantom Pain', both titles inspired by the Metal Gear Solid video game series (and yes, we touch on that too).
Podcast host Browny also plays brand new music from KoRn, Carnifex, Killswitch Engage and Thy Art Is Murder, throwbacks from Devil You Know/Light The Torch, iwrestledabearonce, Cancer Bats and Architects + heaps more...

This week it's an All-Female-Fronted (and more) assault on your ears as we check out some of the best upcoming and established bands from Australia and across the globe with ladies singing/screaming and playing their way into your lives with their music. This week's guest co-host is none other than Alex Reade from Melbourne's Drown This City who had some huge news to talk about recently, their signing to UNFD and their forthcoming Alpha // Survivor EP (out July 5th).
Alex discusses the band's stops and starts recently which may have slowed down the progression process of the band, but not the keen and eagerness to succeed and with this new career development, they're not slowing down for anyone soon. Get to know the band, their future and find out what record Alex still holds with our Wall of Sound: Up Against the Wall podcast when we first met her back at Big Sound 2017.
There's also plenty of New Music from Crazy Eighty-Eight, Terra, Grenade Jumper and Freedom of Fear, throwbacks from Falcifer, Saviour, Outright and Dream State + heaps more...

06/21/19 • 71 min

Here is a sentence we never thought we'd be saying again: Static-X are touring Australia again! Believe it or not, but three of four OG members are back and heading down under for a tour like no other which will serve not only as the 20th Anniversary of their breakthrough album Wisconsin Death Trip but also a Memorial Tribute to their late frontman Wayne Static, who passed away back in 2014. The news has divided fans (some for, some against the idea) but bassist Tony Campos is on this weel's podcast chatting all about it to clear the air and answer any concerns fans may have had.
Podcast host Browny, despite being a fan, takes both sides of the argument to get the truth from the band and find out if the right intentions are at play here or if this is another one of those cash grabs from fans, but from what you'll hear, every intricate detail about this tour has been well planned, thought out and even received the blessings of Wayne's family before the ball was even rolling and it seems the people that want this the most are Static-X's longterm fans who even pledged their own money for the band's new album, Project Regeneration, which wouldn't have seen the light of day if it wasn't for their contributions. Tony also delves into the current status of the album and how they're using old vocal recordings from studio sessions before Wayne passed to create a brand new album from the band, featuring original members Tony Campos, Ken Jay and Koichi Fukuda.
There's also throwbacks from Megadeth, dope, Rammstein, Coal Chamber and Fear Factory, New Music from SKYND, Sleeping With Sirens and Bare Bones + heaps more...

We are bloody stoked to bring The Beautiful Monument back on the show this week to chat about their forthcoming album I'm The Reaper. The ladies are fast becoming hot property in Australia's heavy music scene with their blend of genre-crossing anthems and lyrically captivating songs you can't help but belt out. Shredmaster Andrea 'Andy' Skoumbri is this week's guest co-host and she's going into detail about their rise to fame, the struggles along the way (including parents who see a career in music as more of a hobby) and the hard-hitting, and emotionally heartbreaking story behind their latest single 'Reaper'.
But it's not all emotional, podcast host Browny also takes a look back one of the biggest moments the band had this year, when they played both Sydney and Melbourne Download Festival and some of the antics that happened at those shows.
There's also New Music from Boston Manor feat. John Floreani, Make Way For Man, Hellions, Pridelands, Bad/Love feat. Marcus Bridge, Headstrong and Make Them Suffer, throwbacks from Simple Plan, The Ghost Inside, Stand Atlantic + heaps more!

Grab your vans, dickies and prepare to head back in time with Buddy Nielsen of Senses Fail on this week's episode of Wall of Sound: Up Against The Wall as the guys gear up for their triumphant return to Australia for the first time since 2013. That's a long time between drinks for the post-hardcore band who have gone through a few lineup changes in the process but also released an incredible return to form album at the same time. Buddy chats all about that and reflects on the popularity the band had after their song 'Can't Be Saved' made it onto Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock back in the day.

Podcast host Browny takes a look at the news surrounding WAAX who had their own shock lineup change during in the past week AND released a belter of a new song you have to hear.

There's also New Music from The Beautiful Monument, We Burn Bridges, Of Mice & Men and Rammstein, throwbacks from The Used, Box Car Racer, Pierce The Veil, From First To Last and heaps more...

You know when someone introduces you to a band and you instantly fall for them? You love their music, members, style and purpose and dedicate your life promoting them as much as you can! That's how we felt with I Prevail who burst onto the scene a few years back covering a Taylor Swift song, BUT, the difference between them and others who were doing it at the time was they had a vast array of heavy/melodic music behind them to not just be known for that cover.

From there, they've escaped the comparisons and have set out on their own, dominating the world and this week we're chatting to guitarist Dylan Bowman all about their achievements (and struggles) so far. From selling out their ENTIRE Australian Debut Tour to almost losing their clean vocalist Brian Burkheiser to a pretty traumatic (pun intended) vocal injury, to now, on the eve of the release of their second studio album, we go into detail about everything they've faced along the way and how they'll never give up in their fight.

Podcast host Browny also takes a look at the news surrounding Static-X's reforming and Memorial Tribute for Wayne Static, the former frontman and namesake of the band ahead of their Worldwide Anniversary Tour and new album Project Regeneration.

Plus there's plenty of New Music to get through from Liberties, Red Handed Denial, Windwaker, The Beautiful Monument, The Last Martyr, Dealer, Jinjer and Bury Your Dead and more...

YEAH THE BONES! An expression of appreciation fans of Sydney hardcore punks Bare BOnes shout with pride any time these lads are in the closest vicinity and we'll be screaming it more often now that they've unleashed their sophomore album Rival Minds upon the world which is tearing up Australia's heavy music scene and proving these guys are the next big thing in genre-crossing rock and metal.
Frontman Tom Kennedy is welcomed back to co-hosting duties this week chatting all about the album, it's "mature" sound and how they've pushed themselves harder since sharing the stage with big name acts like Prophets of Rage, Stone Sour and Rise Against over the past couple of years. The lads are here to prove they've got more than just a heavy, party atmosphere sound and they're not afraid to express it with their latest offering (which you should be all over by now)
Podcast host Browny also takes a look at Polaris' new single 'Masochist', their forthcoming album The Death of Me and highly anticipated tour alongside some pretty big names in metalcore.
There's also plenty of new tunes this week from Ocean Sleeper, Fever 333, Violent Soho, Once Human and Raised Fist, throwbacks from Crystal Lake and Trophy Eyes + heaps more!
