Welcome to the latest edition of The Wyrd Ways Rock Show.

This week's show is packed to the proverbial gunwhales with the usual blend of top quality brand new Rock and Metal, as you'd expect. We’ve got brand-new music from Vanitas and Bloodywood, a taste of Ward XVI’s upcoming album Id3ntity, and a guest appearance from FFDP's Ivan Moody on The Funeral Portrait’s Holy Water.

But it’s not just about the music—there’s some serious cause for celebration. Since I recorded the show, the results have come in, and I need to give a huge shoutout to Ember Auburn, Charlotte and Amethyst Allure for smashing it at the You Filthy F*cker pole dance competition at The Hive in Skegness on the 22nd March (that's last night, as I'm writing this), with Ember taking third and Char taking second in the Beginners' category and Amethyst earning the Stripper’s Choice award in Pro.

Hit play on the player (or on Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music or whichever podcast player you use), turn it up, and let’s get to it.
