Episode 346: Ketos brought the riffs, the laughs….and the chaos. Dwayne Close (guitars) and Pete Crenshaw (vocals) talk all things heavy!

Join us for a wild and unfiltered chat with Dwayne Close (guitars) and Pete Crenshaw (vocals) from Belfast groove/thrash metal heavyweights Ketos! We dig into the band's origins, the evolution from their Rise EP to the full-length onslaught that is First Strike, and explore the themes and sound of their latest singles. We also dive into the incredible Irish metal scene, shouting out some of the bands that are absolutely killing it live and helping put Ireland firmly on the global metal map. Expect raw stories, loud laughs, and unexpected moments—including a surprise guest appearance from one of the musicians who happened to be playing with Pete just before the interview and managed to get a few words in despite Pete being... well, a few pints deep. It’s chaotic, it’s candid, and it’s Ketos. Turn it up, crack one open, and get ready to dive into the madness behind the music.
