Another metal double header this week as we round out what has already been a packed March.

Of course he does talk about TSO and some other stuff he’s currently involved with too. 

Next up as promised a few shows back we have another person from Last in Line. Bassist Phil Soussan makes his second appearance on the show and he joins us to talk about the new release from LiL, the aptly titled II. Phil has a long history in the music business so we can’t resist asking him some questions about other things he’s done too.

Episode 406 - The Imperium Hand

More returning guest this week. First up is guitarist Glen Drover. Glen’s new band Walls of Blood is releasing “Imperium” this week a solid metal album six years in the making with a who’s who of guest vocalists (Todd La Torre, Henning Basse, Ripper Owens, Chuck Billy and more) that is sure to gain a lot of attention. This one really shows off Glen's formidable chops and songwriting skills.

Also this week we welcome back Andrew Freeman. He’ll be talking about Devil’s Hand, the project he did with Mike Slamer released via Frontiers as well as the much anticipated sophomore release from Last in Line that’s also due out this week.
