   Episode 555: Dan Lilker - Nuclear Assault, Brutal Truth, Anthrax

   Episode 554: Markus Makkonen - Ghoulstars

   Patreon Goodies In this episode Markus and I talk all things Ghuolstars, from formation as a once a year Halloween side project to full on debut album "The Dark Lords Of The Universe". It's a really interesting and organic story, much like the way I discovered them which was Markus ordering a signed copy of Daze Of The Week! As always the news is examined in great detail with the return of two all time favourites to keep me going, Dave and Gene. This Is Halloween Bollocks. Video Interview
