Booming into 2019, Anna and H take a step back and serve up a helping of last year's top albums that have had both hemispheres talking and what the future might spell out for the year to come.

What's the best metal show you've ever been to? H certainly knows! After a week of heavy blasphemy, checking up on The Prince Of Darkness and rage quitting the Grammys, Anna and H let loose the dogs of war in a Cultural Exchange that pits the UK's alt-rockers Puppy vs. Aussie arena hounds Sick Puppies. Who will be crowned victor? Listen in and find out on this week's latest episode of The Upside Down.

We are talking KILLER COVERS! What happens when rock stars dip their toes in pop's waters? H and Anna discuss their five favourite covers whittled down from ten, featuring the likes of (DEEP BREATH), DIE ANTWOORD, ABBA, Wu-Tang Clan, Imagine Dragons, Adele, The Monkees, Spandau Ballet (Official), Thin Lizzy, Depeche Mode and ELVIS PRESLEY!

On this week's The Upside Down, Anna and H get their skulls bombarded with metallic hardcore goodness that caught both hemisphere's attentions in one hell of a Cultural Exchange segment. For the past month London's Ithaca have been slaying the UK with their new album, 'The Language Of Injury', but will they make a new fan out of Anna? Meanwhile, H gets his ears filthy to She Cries Wolf's surprise release, 'Liar'. As a filthy animal himself, you can pretty much guess his reaction already. However the spotlight for this weeks' Common Ground goes to In Flames' latest album 'I The Mask'. Do the Swedes still have what it takes to compete in the world of metal in 2019? Listen in and find out.

Episode V of The Upside Down sees H and Anna taking on some weird and wonderful sounds in this week's Cultural Exchange. Will While She Sleeps's new album 'So What?' live up to H's expectations? And Anna brings Melbourne trio Funk Dancing For Self Defence to the table for closer inspection. Not only that, but listen in on Anna's chat with Danko Jones on their latest album, 'A Rock Supreme'. All fun, all the time. When do they sleep? Fun fact: They don't! Especially now that Game Of Thrones is almost upon us... Winter is coming people!

Anna and H return to The Upside Down, the metal and rock podcast that unites Australia and the UK beyond the fact an old women's corgi's have more money than they could earn in three lifetimes. On this week's episode, the two discuss the latest band biopic that has the internet up in a storm, Motley Crue's 'The Dirt'. Will it kick-start our hearts or be another 'Generation Swine'? Listen in and find out!

This week our beloved UK half of the Upside Down duo sits down with guitarist Ash from Metal God Award winners VENOM PRISON who have a new record out "Samsara". They chat about the band's progression, highs and lows and also discuss the possibility of an upcoming Australian tour!

This week on episode eight of The Upside Down, Anna has a little chat with Forces & Fury's Astrid Holz and Kat Ayala about their latest single Stormy Weather, all the while H confronts the future of Cane Hill and what their 2019 EP Kill The Sun means for their future.
