Elsewhere, there is a deliciously industrial bite. Ministry’s Al Jourgensen and guitar legend John 5 pile in for crunching highlight The Ayes Have It. Corey Taylor and Steve Vai lend their considerable heft to the almost NIN-ish Incite The Watch. There’s even a vintage rock Run-DMC cameo (alongside Persia ‘daughter of Gary’ Numan) on the swaggering, unexpectedly atmospheric Just Like A Movie.
It’s how the songs without superstar guest spots crack and burn that truly elevates this collection, though. Whether smouldering through bombastic opener Drowning or hitting 100mph on pedal-down highlight Dystopia, Billy takes little time showing everybody why a whole galaxy of big, big names were happy to lend themselves to his cause.
Verdict: 4/5
