About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Acid Reign and Damian McCarthy about their new album and film, blending music and horror themes.

UK Thrashers Acid Reign are back with a new album 'Daze of the Week'. Writer and director Damian McCarthy is also back, he, with his latest movie 'Hokum'. I can think of nothing better than mashing up the two of them into a fantastical English/Irish folk horror thrash assault. This is the result.
