I first saw Wollongong metal band, Segression all the way back in February, 2000 supporting an up and coming band out of Iowa called, Slipknot. I enjoyed their set, went and bought the album at Sanity and then started a soon to be award winning podcast that would eventually put me in touch with Chris Rand, the bassist and singer from Segression. Some people have said that Segression only started playing metal to have a member appear on Bacio Death Trip and whilst Chris and I don't get into that, we do talk about the ways in which Slipknot used to go about hiding their identities, performing karaoke with Zakk Wylde, singing Bleed with Soulfly at a Big Day Out, pre-workout (of course) and we do get into Smile - their third album which was released by Roadrunner Records (or was it?) back in 2000.

A must listen for any old school Australian metal fans!
