Jason McMaster — formerly of Watchtower and Dangerous Toys, and current lead screamer for Evil United — is our guest this week. We talk about about Watchtower’s status as possibly the first-ever prog metal band, his experience with major labels as a hit-maker in the ’80s with Dangerous Toys, and working with Gene Hoglan on the new Evil United album.

Fresh from his trip to Heavy Montreal, Chuck and Godless invited MS Senior Editor Anso DF to fill us in on his experience. We talk about what Babymetal are doing step up the metal game, what one of the biggest metal festivals in North America looks like and whether Canadian metal fans have a different way of treating the festival environment.
