We drive around London with Jeremy Widerman from Monster Truck in... you guessed it... a monster truck! Avantasia lead the charge this month with their stupendously fantastic new offering, former Dio members Vivian Campbell, Vinny Appice and Jimmy Bain reunite with a metalicious album under the Last In Lane Banner, Anthrax get heavier than ever, Dream Theater offer up a concept album to rival 'Metropolis Part 2...' plus Bad Whitford and Derek St Holmes record together again for the first time in 35 years. We also talk to Scorpions, Primal Fear, Axel Rudi Pell, Ignite, Rhapsody Of Fire, Shakra, Serenity, Resurrection Kings, The Mute Gods, Wigelius, and Nathan James tell us all about his brand new band Inglorious.
