Episode 282: Rob Urbinati - Sacrifice

Patreon Goodness In this episode I am joined by the legendary main man of Canadian thrash pioneers Sacrifice, Rob Urbinati. They released their latest album "Volume Six" earlier this year which I was tipped off about by Todd from Propagandhi (thanks Todd!) and its an absolute old school banger. Having both been around since the 80's we had a lot of common ground to cover and cover it we did, this is a long one and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. As always there is in depth coverage of the latest metal news afterwards, some of it interesting and some of it AI rubbish. This Is 50th Anniversary Box Set Bollocks. Kreator

Flashback Bollocks: James Murphy Death/Obituary/Cancer/Testament

Patreon Goodies From the vaults this one comes from back in 2017 when I had my first chat with James. This is possibly the most revealing and longest interview I've ever done as about half way through he volunteer's to talk about a part of his life that he'd never really made public before. That is why we talked for nearly two hours. This Is Flashback Bollocks. Video
