Talking Bollocks

For those of you who don't know David passed away very recently. This interview first appeared on episode six of Talking Bollocks.  I went to interview Bobby from Overkill and Soilwork were playing this show with them as well so I jumped at the chance to chat to Bjorn & David. They were on the back of The Living Infinite which had blown me away and I was excited to talk them about it.
