We have no idea how many questions we asked (it’s just a good title) as Hill & Beez travel back in time to tackle one of those old school MySpace quizzes in what is one of the all-time greatest podcasts we’ve ever recorded. What’s their favourite chocolate bar? When was the last time they cried? Why are goats such massive pricks? This is one of those specials where you’re going to get funny looks when you start cracking up whether at home or in public. Hill & Beez on the form of their life. Enjoy, apologies about the Steel Panther interview but we are certain that you’ll agree that this more than makes up for it.

Hill and Beez get into the raging argument on Metallica's ticket prices, new tracks from Weezer and Blink 182, the ultimate summer bands, new albums from Steel Panther, Sorority Noise and Fit For An Autopsy, there's gig reviews from Gojira/Code Orange/Car Bomb and Helmet in the UK and Enter Shikari, The Menzingers, Darkest Hour and Paul Stanley's Soul Station in the States and our Album Club is on CKY's Infiltrate.Rebuild.Destroy. Yup, this show is stacked and it'll make you never look at your parents in the same way again.That’s Not Metal is powered by Marshall.

Rou Reynolds, the sharp-minded frontman of Enter Shikari, shares insights from the band's journey as they celebrate the 10th anniversary of 'Take To The Skies'. He dives into the creation of their new politically charged album and the significance of their book 'Dear Future Historians'. Rou also candidly discusses the emotional weight of revisiting past hits, as well as his critiques of their own work, reflecting on the vibrant music scene that shaped them. Prepare for an engaging conversation about blending genres and the importance of political expression in music!

Hill and Beez answer your excellent questions in the aftermath of last week's Great Metal Summit, chat about Eddie Vedder's expensive tickets and the week's rock and metal news, review the new albums from Darkest Hour, Havok and Can't Swim and, after the news that they are to split following a farewell tour, there's a bittersweet look at HIM's Venus Doom in Album Club.That’s Not Metal is powered by Marshall.
