It only took me six years, but I finally got an opportunity to speak to the legendary Nick Holmes from Paradise Lost! We discussed everything from the band’s upcoming record, “Ascension”, to his first meeting with Greg Mackintosh, how he keeps his voice healthy on tour, what keeps him motivated and much more.

Also on this episode: Justin Coleman from Krigsgrav is my co-host on the Weekly News Rant. No wimps are left un-crushed, nor posers left un-slayed as we round up the latest singles by Blut Aus Nord, Novembers Doom, Primitive Man, Bliss of Flesh and others for judgment. We dive into some of your questions, and a former hero now hawking stage clothes gets dunked in the Swirly of the Week!

PLUS: Inhuman Scourge unleashes death metal pain on this week's "Unsanctioned Filth".
