Despite the fact that the episode title this week sounds like a Harry Potter film, it’s rock news this week, as Moose and Dews chat about the potential for Sleep Token to score their first UK #1 album with the recently-released Even In Arcadia.

This leads to the question of WTH is actually happening, with their crazy song lyric-capitalisation on Apple Music seemingly pointing to further developments? Will it be a tour announcement, unreleased tracks, or even a second part to the new album? Either way, this will likely be a Music Marketing 101 case study for years to come.

The guys also take a look at the potential fallout between Trivium and Bullet for My Valentine; what was set to be a globe-spanning anniversary tour appears to have been scrapped, with Trivium’s Paulo Gregoletto publicly blaming Matt Tuck. While Matt Heafy has tried to downplay the tension, and Bullet have stayed diplomatically silent, it’s clear that something behind the scenes went awry. Moose, however, praised Bullet for “not rising to it.”

Dews also looks at Download 2026 predictions, before taking care of some Primordial business with a merch update.
