Festivities did abound as Blackened Birthday Magick was in the air!!! "Thrash Master" Kellerman turned the age page to a new chapter and was sure to let everyone know it. (It was also the birthday of Glenn Danzig and Chuck Billy which we completely neglected to mention during the program!) Ungentle Ben was at the helm and featured, not one, but two call in's from Matt Valle of Pretty and State of Mind. This one was good stuff, check it out here -
