Loved this podcast, totally different from the other music podcasts because it gets behind the scenes of what happens before fans get the bands, the shows, the festivals. Host really knows what he’s talking about and seems as amused and surprised by his guests answers as I was. Great fun.

Very honest, informative and a breath of fresh air for metal based podcasts. The insights into the sides of gigs and festivals that we don’t see.

A realistic, chilled out, behind the scenes take of Damnation, festivals and bands in general. Feels like you’re hanging out with pals, chatting about the ups and downs of the events, bands and fans of metal. Funny stuff. Thoroughly recommended.
