Join Nick and I as we catch up for the first time in a few years. Nick and I reminisce about the tour I had booked for his old band, Que Sera. How it was for him to put that band to rest after many years and starting to see some success before the end. Nick shares how it was for him to step out on his own and becoming a hired gun for a more pop leaning artist, as well as adjusting to life out on the West Coast being from an East Coaster most of his life. We also get into how Nick ended up joining The Dark, some of the challenges he's faced switching over to bass from guitar, as well as the joy of playing something with a little more aggression. What the band has in store for the rest of this year and more.

Join Sergio and I as we talk about how its been finding himself while working with 3 bands. Sergio discusses how he's really honed in on being of service to not only the other musicians he's collaborating with but to the song itself. We get into where Sergio's sense of style and live show comes from. We dive into the journey he and Eidola have been on over the last 3 releases, culminating in a double album that went from the bands heaviest, Eviscerate, to the bands lightest, Mend. We talk about how that process was for Sergio, admittedly not being into the heavier side of things, but how that allowed him to really express himself on Mend. We get into what the future holds for the band and where Sergio thinks it could go. Sergio also talks about how he got involved with Blue Swan Records from the label side of things, and how it has been for him learning the ins and outs or working for and help run a label. Some of the early challenges he faced, and taking a moment to reflect on the successes along the way.

Join Brendan and I as we talk about him completing Elden Ring and the journey of spending that much time completing something and not being sure if you’re happy it’s over nor if you even enjoyed it due to how long you spent immersed in it. We then talk about the process of making their latest EP, which in contrast to the video game took significantly less time to complete, and how intentional the band had to be with their decisions given they didn’t have much time to get everything done to be released when they wanted to. We also get into how this feels like a turning point for the band, not only sonically but with the touring and everything the band is doing, and what has led to the shift in the band becoming a bit more goal oriented and taking risks this far into their career. We also talk about vasectomies, border crossings and the idea of legacies in this chat with the Counterparts vocalist.

Join Danny, Dave and I as we discuss the second edition of their book, "Perpetual Conversion" which tells Danny's career in the heavy/extreme sides of the music industry. We discuss Danny's time in bands more rooted in thrash like Anthrax and Stormtroopers of Death, through his sonic journey of pushing boundaries in faster, more "extreme", bands like Nuclear Assault and Brutal Truth and how this book really puts you at the forefront of these burgeoning scenes in metal through the lens of Danny's stories and Dave tracking down fellow artists playing alongside or inspired by these bands to offer a first hand account of the impact this music was having on the music world.

For Danny how it was to look back on this decades long career making music, and seeing all the lives he's touched with his music and the nice things friends and colleagues had to say about him.

This is a bit of a different episode for me. This was born from a friend showing me LLNN's album, "Unmaker", and becoming OBSESSED with it. Initially this was an album I was getting into heavy going back to the gym, but couldn't shake the hold it had over me and the feelings it would evoke out of me. Feelings of anger and despair and hopelessness. What I didn't anticipate was my foot injury that led to having surgery and being laid up a few months later, and in the darkness of sitting in my bed late at night I'd listen to this album more and I eventually came to this realization that sometimes we need to wallow in something to really help us process our emotions and work our way out of these negative feelings. This is my chat with the bands new vocalist/guitarist Victor, where we dive into some of these emotions that the bands music brings out. We get into how Victor joined the band, how it was for him to find his way into music that he didn't necessarily have a hand in creating but understanding its impact. Victor also shares what it was like growing up in Denmark and how he first got into playing music, some of his early influences as well as talking about the small scene that he and others were building. We talk about what's in store for LLNN in the new year, touring stateside and more.

We also get into the resurgence that nu metal has been having in recent years, and how that has been for Robby given his past fronting Stuck Mojo, and reflecting on the quick rise of the genre, and then the hate it received for so long. We talk about the importance of being true to yourself and not chasing trends. We also talk a bit about how Robby and Vicky have taken what they've learned from their other bands and time in the industry and how they are using that to make more informed decisions with what the band is trying to accomplish in the future.
