Join me as I interview the legendary Tony Dolan, also known as the Demolition Man, the leader of thrash pioneers, Atomkraft, the second-longest-serving frontman of Venom, and the singer/bassist of Venom Inc. Tony talks about the new Atomkraft record, picks his favourite Venom album, tells how seeing Motörhead live changed his life, and many more!
This tough-looking tattooed man, frequently singing about demons, serial killers, and nuclear threat is actually one of the nicest and wisest people I have ever met. It was incredibly fun to talk to Tony, and a dream coming true! Thank you!
