Scars and Guitars

John Campbell (Lamb of God)

Lamb of God bassist John Campbell talks about the group's new album for 2022, called Omens. The conversation covers many other topics, such as touring, drummer Art Cruz, and John's recollection of working with Steve Austin from Today is the Day on the first Burn the Priest album. We talk about Willie Adler's tenure in the band as well.

Tony Dolan (Venom Inc.)

In this far-reaching conversation with The Demolition Man, he discusses the new album from Venom Inc., There is Only Black and the likelihood of Nick Barker joining the group for more shows. Tony also talks about how he secured the rights to Temples of Ice (1991) and The Waste Lands (1992).

Smári Tarfur (Patronian)

Patronian will release their killer debut album in late September 2022; it is titled Stabbed With Steel and is a worthy death metal extravaganza. Chatting with Smári presented an opportunity to discuss the album and his many other projects. Check them all out here:

Levi Benton (Miss May I)

MISS MAY I release their new album Curse of Existence via SharpTone Records in September 2022. Vocalist Levi Benton was available to discuss and answer questions about the album's place as the definitive statement from the band.

Scott Carstairs (Fallujah)

The new album from Fallujah is titled Empyrean, and it's a summary of the group's work to date; Scott has taken his guitar playing to the next level, there are too many exceptional solos and lead passages to single out, so it was great to chat with him and explore the nuances of the album.

Johan Soderberg (Amon Amarth)

Amon Amarth has launched a new album for 2022, titled The Great Heathen Army. The album is a great opportunity to catch up with the group's guitarist and discuss the finer points of the album, guitar playing and other topics.

Regan Batley (Motherslug)

Motherslug is the bastard child of Sleep and Electric Wizard after a night of drinking and drugging with Neurosis and Kyuss, very heavy stuff! The group's gargantuan sound must be heard to be believed, which is why guitarist and riff lord Regan was asked to testify on the show. In this chat, we dive deep into the mechanics behind the group's monstrous sound and have a grand old time celebrating their killer new album, Blood Moon Blues.

A tribute to Stuart Anstis

A titan of extreme metal guitar performance, the great Stuart Anstis left this mortal coil on August 21, 2022. He will long be remembered through his songcraft and musicianship, which can be heard across Cradle of Filth's game-changing albums, Dusk and Her Embrace and Cruelty and the Beast. Throughout this tribute, Daniel Mitchell (Autumns Eyes) and I wax lyrical, diving into what makes Stuart's guitar playing and songwriting so colossal and why his enduring influence will continue well into the future.
Vale, Stuart Anstis, 2/5/1974 - 21/8/2022.
Thanks to Dan for the chat; it could be the start of a regular thing. For everything Autumns Eyes, check out the website: https://autumnseyes.com/; there are also social links on his site.

Steve Kilbey (The Church)

Steve and The Church are playing select dates across Australia in early September 2022, which is why we have an opportunity to chat. Throughout the discussion, Steve talks about his bass playing, an old encounter with Bauhaus's Peter Murphy and the friendship that could have been, and a deep cut within his solo career that he more or less had forgotten about, among other choice subjects.
