<p>Signals From Mars – Episode 440</p><p>On Episode 440 of <strong>Signals From Mars</strong>, Victor is joined by <strong>Bones</strong> and <strong>Rhea</strong> of UK heavy metal band Tailgunner to talk about their new album <em>Midnight Blitz</em> and the road that led them there.</p><p>The conversation explores the band’s collaboration with legendary guitarist <strong>KK Downing</strong>, how that relationship came together naturally, and what it was like having such a hands-on presence involved in shaping the album. Bones and Rhea also discuss the evolution of Tailgunner since their debut <em>Guns For Hire</em>, balancing classic heavy metal influences with their own identity, and the challenges of building a lineup that truly shares the same vision.</p><p>The episode also touches on touring, recent shows with Hammerfall, upcoming festival appearances, and what fans can expect when they see Tailgunner live — without giving too much away. It’s a great look at a modern British metal band focused on longevity, growth, and staying true to heavy metal.</p><p>🔥 Shout out to my Patrons:</p><p>Steven Sailer Steve Hoeker Jeremy Weltman Mike Jones Brad Dahl Mark Strigl Gabriel Ruiz Chris Vaglio Metal Dan Johan Ederström Ed Ferguson Anthony Mackey Toni Espin Sean Richmond</p><p>Thank you for being so supportive!</p><p>🔗 Connect with Signals From Mars:</p><p>Become a Patron: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.patreon.com/signalsfrommars">https://www.patreon.com/signalsfrommars</a></p><p>Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://signalsfrommars.com">https://signalsfrommars.com</a></p><p>Facebook: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/signalsfrommars">https://www.facebook.com/signalsfrommars</a></p><p>YouTube: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://youtube.com/c/signalsfrommars">https://youtube.com/c/signalsfrommars</a></p><p>Twitch: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.twitch.tv/signalsfrommars">https://www.twitch.tv/signalsfrommars</a></p><p>X / Twitter: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.twitter.com/SignalsFromMars">https://www.twitter.com/SignalsFromMars</a></p><p>Instagram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/signalsfrommarsofficial/">https://www.instagram.com/signalsfrommarsofficial/</a></p><p>Merch Store: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://signals-from-mars.creator-spring.com/">https://signals-from-mars.creator-spring.com/</a></p><p>Podcast Services: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.signalsfrommars.com/podcast-services/">https://www.signalsfrommars.com/podcast-services/</a></p><p>Sponsorship: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.signalsfrommars.com/sponsorship/">https://www.signalsfrommars.com/sponsorship/</a></p><p>🤘 Follow Tailgunner:</p><p>Official Website: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.tailgunner.co.uk">https://www.tailgunner.co.uk</a></p><p>Bandcamp: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://tailgunner.bandcamp.com">https://tailgunner.bandcamp.com</a></p><p>Instagram: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/tailgunner_uk">https://www.instagram.com/tailgunner_uk</a></p><p>Facebook: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/tailgunneruk">https://www.facebook.com/tailgunneruk</a></p><p>X / Twitter: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/tailgunner_uk">https://x.com/tailgunner_uk</a></p><p>YouTube: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@tailgunneruk">https://www.youtube.com/@tailgunneruk</a></p>
