The American Progressive band NUCLEAR POWER TRIO will release a new album entitled ‘Wet Ass Plutonium’ on July 28, 2023 via METAL BLADE Records. “Donny, Vladi P, and I had a little tiff at the end of the aggressive touring cycle for the last record. We made up though, and decided to spend some time in the supreme U.S. city of Miami, Florida.

Turkish Delight’s “Volume 2” celebrates the absolute joy that Escape Music co-owner Khalil Turk has for the kind of music he loves so much and has spent the last thirty and then some years championing. Indeed, his enthusiasm for a new band or a new song today is no different from when I first met him in the mid-80s.

I lost count of the number of phone calls he made to me when I was working for Kerrang! magazine, where he would excitedly tell me: “Dave, you just have to listen to this, it’s brilliant, you’ll love it … before playing me something over the phone –
