    The man, the myth, the legend Eyal Levi of Dååth joins me for chat just before the release of their new album The Deceivers. We discuss what he has been up to for the last 13 years since the last album, how surprisingly quickly they were picked up on their return and what we can expect in the future. As always there is a quick run through the latest click bait disguised as news and old favourites Seb Bach, KI$$ and Dave Mustiane (who fronts Megadeth) make appearances.                            This Is Heavy Confusion Bollocks.                                                                        Video Interview       Greyson Nekrutman drum cam footage

    Episode 247: Craig Locicero Forbidden

    Episode 247: Craig Locicero Forbidden

    Does anyone actually click this f*****g link?
    My old mate Craig Locicero is back on the podcast! It's been too long and we get right into too many subjects to mention but needless to say all things Forbidden are covered. Plus a few things from way back in the day as well. There is the always interesting look at the news with the bad mouthing of Blabbermouth, praise and rebuke for all comers including Rammstein, Geoff Tate, Metallica, HD quality video footage of Bruce Dickinson signing albums, Thor (the band not Marvel Superhero) and praise for Nikki Sixx. This Is Fighting, Feeding, F*****g, Forbidden Bollocks.

    Episode 246: Julie Weir Music For Nations Label Manager Part 2

    Support The Podcast Patreon

    Please welcome back to the podcast Julie Weir! In July last year had a chat and said at the end of it "we must do this again some time" so we did. A lot has happened since we last spoke so there's a lot to catch up on, music to talk about, bands to mention and podcasts too.


    There is also an abuse of news which includes a game of musical drum stools, people not wanting to write books, people wanting to write books, uncalled for videos and someone who thinks God likes his band. Twat.


    This Is Corned Beef Bollocks.

Happy Listener/Excited (soon to be) Guest

I’m an Acid Reign fan since Moshkinstein came out. When I heard about H’s podcast I was thrilled to get to know a little bit more about the force behind Acid Reign, all while laughing, hearing chats about Metal, and perhaps even Hitchcock reference or two.

Talking Bollocks is a blast of a podcast (podblast?). H is a down to earth, likable host who I enjoy listening to, and I’m sure I’ll like chatting with him even more. 45 minutes until showtime!

Get on board, cunts! Mother loves you.

Bollocks or Brilliance?

Love this podcast! I've been a diehard thrash fan since the 80's and Howard "H" Smith, from U.K. Band Acid Reign, delivers down to earth interviews with artists and writers from the genre. Love his rants, especially when talking about American politics, patriotism, gun control, etc. As an American, it's refreshing to hear views I agree with, but seldom hear from other people in the States. Keep it up Howard! There are people out there, like myself, who appreciate what you do.
