Monochromatic Black isn't just another 'female fronted' metal band. To be honest, I really don't like that Monochromatic Black is oftentimes compared to Jinjer or Arch Enemy, simply because both bands have women as front persons. 

I know everyone wants to have a reference point ahead of time when discovering new bands, and I've been guilty of it too, but these are people with their own style, and the band has its own sound, which sounds nothing like the bands people compare them to. I guess we all need a starting point when it comes to art, but it's my hope you'll dive a little deeper with me.

Originally, we had a much different show prepared, but limits on time and availability (this was recorded during the holidays) kept us tight and didn't allow us to dive as deep as we'd hoped. I hope you'll give this band the attention they deserve, even if I didn't, simply because.... again.... they are super interesting, talented, and absolutely worth your time. 

All I know is that I had to have them on the show because they are truly special people to me. I'm hosting them today, because I want you to discover the band before they head out on tour at the beginning of the year. Before their schedules no longer allow them to work with the smaller guys like me. I want you to know what you're in for and who you're going to meet and listen to. I want you to know them, so here's your chance. 

Let's welcome these extraordinary talents. It makes me truly happy to have them on the show today.  What a great way to end the year!

Ladies and gentlemen, Tanya and Eddie from Monochromatic Black!!!

Today on the show, we are digging deeper into the music I love the most.  Today's featured artist (and his band) is a French progressive rock band that brings some of the most incredible and delicate music I've heard in quite some time.  Now, when I say delicate, I don't mean soft.  I mean musical choices where the ideas are there and the band, through compression and dynamics, feeds you this musical data one morsel at a time.  

If you're a fan of Porcupine Tree, Haken, Temic, or Dream Theater, I am 100% positive this band is for you.  Incredibly performed and written, this could be, and SHOULD BE, your favorite new thing.  I love love love it.  .... and you will too.

So...

Ladies and gentlemen... dialing in all the way from the middle of Europe, this is my guest Michel Teyssier!

MONOLOGUE: 

I'm in the process of recording another book, which is a how to... it's a different experience because it's hard to create something evocative that's basically a business how to book.  So, that's been interesting figuring it all out. 

Being home more and working on auditions feels great, but I admit it also makes me feel, at times, kind of pathetic (i get it that it's my own experience as I'm not actually pathetic) because it never fails that the moment I take a break to eat or relax my voice, my family comes home and sees me sitting on the couch. Which... is just great.

They are heavy, brutal, tight, incredibly well recorded, and everything is well written.  Let's be honest... they are all the things.

Today, I'm fortunate enough to have on the original of originals: The man behind the legacy of the band, Michael Decker.  

If you like hard hitting, straight in the middle of the gut, right down the middle of the alley, heavy music, with no punches pulled, then BornBroken is for you. So, let's get ready to mosh, baby.

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY:

Yesterday was NATIONAL NO SUGAR DAY..... which in America is like saying.... national nobody eats day.  It's anathema to who we are and our culture.  Of course, nobody is really doing this, but it's a nice sentiment.  I'm back on the dole as my monologue mentions, at least it cooling down on my sugar intake... diabetes and all that. What is your take on our eating habits here?  The land of fat angry people with guns?

In 1995, Oasis released "What's the Story Morning Glory" to acclaim and whatever else, selling 347,000 copies in its first week.  ....and now, they are back together again.  Do you have a take on Oasis in general?  My first encounter with them was in print, where PJ Harvey stated that her work is artistic and challenging, unlike Oasis, which just cracked me up.

I am not a fan of comparing anyone to anything but I think it's an honorable connection to say that his styleeminds me of the best classic comedians of old, particularly David Brenner and Rich Little.  I don't think he does impressions either, but there's something in his look and delivery that reminds me of both of these guys and I think that says a lot.  

So, all that really matters is Joey is here with me today and he's a wonderful, funny, exceptionally kind man who deserves to be heard....and you're hearing him today! Welcome Joey!

I love his style and wit and his old school approach and delivery.  To me, he's a Carson's comic and I hope that's okay to say. I am not a fan of...
I am not a fan of comparing anyone to anything but I think it's an honorable connection to say that his styleeminds me of the best classic comedians of old, particularly David Brenner and Rich Little.  I don't think he does impressions either, but there's something in his look and delivery that reminds me of both of these guys and I think that says a lot.  

So, all that really matters is Joey is here with me today and he's a wonderful, funny, exceptionally kind man who deserves to be heard....and you're hearing him today! Welcome Joey!

THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

Today is National Comic Book Day.  That probably doesn't mean much to most, and it doesn't mean that much to me, but there was a time when it meant everything. 

MONOLOGUE: 

Still sick.  Still doing voices.  Still wondering what the hell is wrong with me.

Hailing from the Chicago area, or at least the band does, Michael Bala of Necronomicon Ex Mortis is the kind of guy I really enjoy talking to. He's a serious talent, and his voice deserves to be amplified.

Here's the thing. I really believe that most public relations outlets don't give extreme metal its due. Sure, it may not be your personal taste, but it takes just as much talent, if not a TON more, to play the musical passages these monster musicians do.  

In fact, as I say often, I can only assume the best classical composers would be metal musicians if they were alive today.  I would think that Stravinsky might be in this band.  We shall see, eh?

Ladies, gentlemen, from the depths of Midwest hell comes my guest.  Michael Bala... welcome, brother!

MONOLOGUE: 

Started recording an audio book for a company. They found me. They picked me. BUT, I still feel the pangs of imposter syndrome. It's weird how that works.  I sent them my first take yesterday for pacing and I was expecting to get fired. Then, I get the response and it's highly positive and affirming, which basically says that the devil on your shoulder is louder and then, I wonder why?  

Why do we give power to the negative over the positive?  Why does that happen?  Why do we do it with politics, celebrity marriages, religion?  WHY WHY WHY?

THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

In 2018 Pope Francis condemns sexual abuse. Supposedly, this is the first time it's actually ever addressed by the man at the top. I don't want to make a statement about religion/catholicism here, but I will say that the commentary sure seems late to the party. All said, at least it's a start. I'm not sure how we should address this, but it's a tough one. I didn't grow up Catholic, but I did grow up in the church and to me, it's always been one of those things that I feel ruins it for everyone. Like, so many things. Too harsh to talk about?

What about someone like Mother Theresa who sacrificed her life to serve others who couldn't serve themselves, let alone anyone else?

BIRTHDAYS:

My cousin Debby was born on this day in 1966, so happy 58th Debby!

Mack Chami. 

If you're like me, you like most styles of music, if not all. You love when people take huge chances or live their life through their music. You love the drama and chance of it all. You love how it hits you.  

How music makes you sentimental or angry. How it curves the earth around your ears. Mack's music does that to me when I put it on in my car. When I'm vacuuming my house. When I'm doing anything.  

Because his project, God is War, plays instrumental soundscapes, it can be anything. The music takes over. You can swirl in its madness or get caught up in its beats. It's not noise, but it's all noise. I imagine learning about Mack today may have the same effect.

Let me say one last thing.  It may not be inspired by it, but if there's one thing I love about his music is it sounds like it belongs in a David Lynch movie, where the most terrifying people are hanging out near the edges of the room, waiting for you to leave so they can mug you at the car.  It's brilliant.

So...  let's get to it.  This is Mack Chami!

Time Codes:

4:00 When you're abandoned by a parent
7:00 Mack's listeners love to be challenged
10:30 Conversation starters are just that
13:30 Finding Slipknot and heavy music changed everything
16:40 Tons of arguments
20:00 Passion means "to suffer"
23:30 Figuring out HOW to make music
27:00 Growing up was rough on Mack
31:00 The first single just dropped off the new album
34:00 The Netflix movie, The Platform
37:00 How do we get out of the hole?
40:00 Making it through the roughest patches
43:30 Touring is a thing for Mack and that's good for us

Make sure you check out Mack's new full length album "Boogeyman Inc." from God Is War which will be available Sept 20th via Profound Lore Records. There is also going to be a God Is War tour supporting shoegaze act Lockstep from Tennessee from October 30th-Novemeber 10th across the midwest, Canada, and the east coast. I know you can't wait, either.

SONG OF THE WEEK: BornBroken, from Montreal QC, has a new single out, called Am I Invisible.... which reminds me of some of the best metal out there. It's well produced and thought you might enjoy it. Let me know what it reminds you of, and is that a good thing?

The new NightWraith album 'Divergence' - being released TOMORROW, SEPT 13TH, worldwide. 5 shows in Sept are booked to support the album release.

Adam, affectionately known as WOODY is the face and voice behind UK's Polar. All over the internet, Polar is known as an Alternative Metal band, and that's fine. To me, in my opinon, they might better be described as a heavy duty Melodic Metalcore/Hardcore band. I say this because Adam's voice reminds me so much of Tony Maddocks, who is a UK legend from the 90's band, Above All.

It's my hope that if Adam agrees, he'll see that I care about the music and that I have an affinity for it, as Above All is a great band to 'look up to.' Polar has their own sound and Adam sits squarely in the middle, in command and on that righteous throne.

So... this is the moment when it all comes together. Adam, welcome!

MONOLOGUE: 
I don't have a monologue, but need to say that I'm back on my 2009 diet to lose all this shit in my system. I've been giving myself over to stresses and like many people, I'm eating my way to the center of a heart attack or diabetes or a stroke, or something.  So... yeah... let's not. I have this joke about living until I'm 1 day before my 100th birthday, but I've changed my mind. Now, barring major health issues, I want to go way past that day. 
Clearly, I also shaved off the beard... or left a little postage stamp.  My aunt told me a few times that I look old.  I like looking old, but yeah...

MONOLOGUE: 
I don't have a monologue, but need to say that I'm back on my 2009 diet to lose all this shit in my system. I've been giving myself over to stresses and like many people, I'm eating my way to the center of a heart attack or diabetes or a stroke, or something.  So... yeah... let's not. I have this joke about living until I'm 1 day before my 100th birthday, but I've changed my mind. Now, barring major health issues, I want to go way past that day. 
Clearly, I also shaved off the beard... or left a little postage stamp.  My aunt told me a few times that I look old.  I like looking old, but yeah...

I discovered the band a few months back and immediately fell in love with one of their latest singles and never looked back. It was stuck in my head all day and remains so to this day.

Earworm central. 

Today, I'm fortunated enough, as are you.... to meet 2 of the 6 guys. We'll meet and learn about them together... sound good?

So... Ladies and gentlemen, give a big metalcore welcome to 2 of the voices behind this "gonna be huge soon" band, Vinny and Trent. It's my honor to host them and turn the world onto FLOAT OMEN!

Oh my goodness, do I love this band.... They bring the best parts of the late 90s and early 2000s to the forefront. Their latest releases floored me, especially a song that I believe will break them fully around the world... the singular hit "All My Friends." What a bliss filled, and absolutely fun ditty.

But enough about the band... it's my chance, right now, to hang out with the excellent singer from this windblast of a musical whirlwind. They have a new album coming out very soon, an LP called 'Welcome to my Funeral.'... and well... I love it. I'm sure I'm gonna love the guy too. You can hear the greatness in his voice so it's gonna be good... I know it.

MONOLOGUE: My feet hurt. Allergies. My kids left for the week. Again. A close friend is in the hospital in a coma... alcoholism sucks.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: The Beatles performed for the last time on Ed Sullivan on this day, back in 1965. This event would prove quite extraordinary, as they came on and performed 6 songs... maybe they felt it was time to stop the live thing by that time and wanted to go out with a band. Are you a Beatles guy?

SONGS OF THE WEEK: Vola - "I don't know how we got here".... classic smooth, mellow, pretty and complex... this is the latest from Denmark's VOLA.... a band I'm a huge fan of. I hope you love it. Locked Shut - Toothache. Aggressive punk metal hits you right in the gums. Straight out of the American heartlands... This Missouri based punk band is hard and fantastic... It's a short 2 minutes as well. Hold on, mom.

First full album "Welcome to my funeral" out on September 13th. France tour starting in September 18th ending with out release party in Paris in September 28th.

The band is back after a long winter's nap. Axamenta formed in 1993.... that's 31 years, people. I can't lie and say I've been a fan since then because I didn't know an ounce about them until recently when their PR company sent me a copy of their 23 minute EP. Insta Fan! Axamenta is a combination of the things I love most about hard rock and heavy metal. They have figured out their own sound to be sure (I mean, it's only been 31 years), but they have found a way to incorporate their influences and DNA into a soup of amazing proportions and due to that, all the bands that you think influenced them were actually probably influenced by them.

If you like Dimmu Borgir, you'll like Axamenta. If you like progressive rock and metal, you'll like Axamenta. If you love Evergrey, you'll love Axamenta. IF you love progressive metal or Post Metal, you'll love Axamenta. You get the point.

I should also say that the give guys like me real hope that you just keep doing what you love and share with the world. They'll find you eventually. If you quit, why do it in the first place? Just keep going. Today, I get to host the guitarist and composer for the band... and here he is. Ian Van Gemeren is the man and he's here, right now and I'm so so stoked.

Ladies and gentlemen.... boom! Welcome, Ian!

I fell in love with his band when I heard the 2021 album, The Calling. It's truly revolutionary. It smacks of hints to the spiritual metal of the 70's.

When I think about Kwabi at the Puyallup Fair about 15 months ago. He was near a food stand my kids stopped at, and we began to talk about his why.... why was he there and what was this thing called the Peace Bus. We also got into a short conversation on faith and doing the right thing for the betterment of others. His heart truly captured me, and I promised myself I'd do something for him in the near future.

Maybe being a guest on my show isn't the magical thing I'd ultimately like to gift him with, but it's a start.... because it's about building his audience, not mine. Kwabi's one of the purest people I've met in a long time... motivated by the deepest parts of his heart and spirit, which reminds me to do the same... to be led by the spirit in me.

If you subscribe to our Patreon, you get to hear us chat about the SONG OF THE WEEK: Izzy and Chris - New song called Quit The Show (Never). Which is basically a song that reminds us to never surrender to outside influence, critics, or fear. I thought it might be appropriate for our chat today. Check it out.

Let me tell you what little I know of him and then explain why I wanted him as a guest. Alex is someone I admire for his quiet perseverance and will. He's the kind of professional in this business that continues to make great waves, produce incredible music, represent the best aspects of our industry and well.... from everything I've seen, he's a great guy.

Passion is a word used quite often to describe producers in our space. Most people forget that passion means 'to suffer.' That said, Alex is living proof that suffering, if one can call it that, is worth it to output the kind of material and influence that he's created.

Alex owns and operates Stygian Sound in Los Angeles, is friends of a few of my friends, and has worked on some of the most important records in modern history. He's amazing. Simply put, Alex has vision and determination and that's what matters, more than anything, in this world... whether it's in the arts, or your career of choice, commitment at all costs is the difference maker.

Ladies and gentlemen, Alex Crescioni!

Sometimes, we find out about a person way later than we feel we should have. It's odd to be so active in the business of music and discover artists that have been changing the ground under our feet yet were keenly unaware of until recently.  

My good friend Andreas Ballnus, of Philosophobia, hits me up and asks me if I've heard of this incredible music by something called 'Silent Skies.' I tell him that I have not. He proceeds to tell me about the project and link me to the music and it's quite literally everything I like in music.

It's perfect for listening.
It's perfect for dreaming.
It's perfect. 

Trust me, in that you've heard this man's music or you've seen his performances.  He just came back from a Hellfest performance with Pain of Salvation, for goodness sake. 

Redemption. 
Lux Terminus. 
Threads of Fate. 

He's a truly connected and inspiring musician of the highest caliber, who's music is so potent that it draws the best artists back to him. He's a busy busy man, and yet he's found the time to chat with me today.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY:

In 1955, Bill Haley and the Comets 'ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK' tops Billboard, which changes the face of modern music forever.

WEIRD TRIVIA OF THE WEEK:

The UFO thing has really ramped up over previous years, and it seems there is a new oddity every week... even every day. Even though last week was the anniversary of the Roswell incident, I admit to almost constant curiosity. Silent Skies seems to me to be a musical metaphor for 'what's possible' in this world... this universe. Evidence abounds, yet some of it has to be false, but I'm sure, like all things, there is a nugget of truth in finding bodies, etc. What's your take?

SONG OF THE WEEK:

This week, I present Cardinals from UK. They have a new release called Clarity, which came out on Dreambound. If you're like me, you are looking for moody metallic leaning rock... metalcore. Heavy stuff, etc. but it has to have a melodic center. It has to have a competent singer and songwriting that piques my interest. Bands like Cardinals deserve our attention and today, we are going to either react or dream to this, but indeed it's happening. Enjoy!

Over the years, I've searched across the web, whether it's YouTube, or friends of friends bands, I've been able to uncover some amazing music that I would never know about... what's weird is discovering an act, then seeing that they are receiving international acclaim, or playing the biggest festivals, or both and wondering why they fell between the cracks, and then you remember.... "OH YEAH, I live in America." As a culture, if it's not easy to digest, chances are we aren't really listening or know very little, and it's MY job to change that.

I heard Jamie's music through a friend in Belgium who's been on the show, one Mr Sander Rom. Now, because of another mutual connection in music producers, I was able to discover a furious band called BEAR (which has the greatest marketing material by the way) and fall in love with the very intense music they create.... then, as I dive deeper, I see that Jamie is the guitarist in Cobra, the Impaler, who's a huge act all over the EU, and I feel stupid... like, how weird is it that I just don't know any of this?

I'm supposedly a metal listener, and for that matter, an influence in the PR space of hard and/or progressive music. How did I miss this? Well, today, you might learn why and more importantly, discover this great guy and his amazing music. So, here we go: Ladies and gentleman, the young legend that is.... James Falck, of Cobra the Impaler, and BEAR.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: Live 8, the sequel, was held on this day in 2005. The last time Pink Floyd played with the OG lineup intact. Richard would soon pass away. Did you watch this?

BIRTHDAYS: Margot Robbie was born on this day in 1990, which angers me, because I was almost her age in 1990. Well, not really, but yeah... she's younger than my son! What a life so far.

DEATHS: Nostradamus dies on this day in 1566. What's your take on prophecy?

WEIRD NEWS OF THE WEEK: What is this shiny monolith thing that keeps happening all over the world? A conspiracy? Aliens? A demonic trick? This first started happening in 2020 during the pandemic, and a few were found in different countries, including the Utah and California in the US and weirdly, another in Romania of all places.

If you subscribe to our show on Patreon, you would have heard us react to the SONG OF THE WEEK: This week, our song of choice is by the utterly pop friendly slightly metal UK act, UNPEOPLE, and a song called WASTE, which is a LIVE version. They are currently on Sharptone Records, which means they are good because that label rules. Listen to how good they are. They are touring the United Kingdom the entire month of August, doing clubs and big festivals, so listeners in the UK and EU should check them out. If you like what you hear, follow the band, buy their merch, etc. Do it, because it's good.

You may remember when I was talking to producer Jonathan Plum back in 2016 on Rockstar Superhero Episode #5, (Alice in Chains, and Blind Melon (he did the finger snaps too!)), we talked about this very subject at length, when we talked about my old band and how close we came to the big deal but life intruded and we fell apart, to put it as plainly as Jonathan did.... SO MANY BANDS. So many bands of massive talent, etc. Well,

Jon had that happen to him because sometimes life intrudes in awful ways, as was the case here. I doubt we'll talk about that today, but maybe I can convince Jon to talk if I get him drunk on emotion? I guess that's not funny to say. That said, no fancy intro here... we are diving straight into the dark and deep waters of this shared experience....here he is... my buddy from across the Atlantic. My man, Jon Charles!

MONOLOGUE: I'm so SICK! Cleaned Garage out.... have you ever done this? How is it possible it ends up like this? Wife is a packrat. Will never admit it, but she is. Stopped and looked at pictures... that's the pieces of paper with old versions of yourself on it.

It reminded me how young I was and how hot my wife was (and still is?) Had a come to Jesus moment with a family member recently which worked out really well, which basically means that as hard as it is to ask the big questions OR TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING HARD, well.. it's hard. Life is full of moments that change everything if we're willing to bare our souls.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: Prince released Purple Rain... he was 25 years old... 25, dude. Tell me a Prince story.

BIRTHDAYS: George Orwell, born on this day in 1903. Did you know he was only 46 years old when he passed, and even though he was on the BBC a number of times, there are NO recordings of his voice in existence?

DEATHS: On this day in 2009, I was at Niagara Falls for a work trip. My wife and I had just checked into our hotel, when we heard the news that well known actress Farrah Fawcett had died of cancer, then a few moments later, we heard about Michael Jackson and his death from drug overdose. Any influence there?

WEIRD TRIVIA OF THE WEEK: What is this shiny monolith thing that keeps happening all over the world? A conspiracy? Aliens? A demonic trick? This first started happening in 2020 during the pandemic, and a few were found in different countries, including the Utah and California in the US and weirdly, another in Romania of all places.

SONG OF THE WEEK: If you subscribe to our Patreon, you get the reactions free! Links below! There's a great band from New Jersey called Float Omen that recently released a new song called Above the Waves and I can't get enough of it. So many influences all balled up into one sexy metalcore package. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!

Had a come to Jesus moment with a family member recently which worked out really well, which basically means that as hard as it is to ask the big questions OR TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING HARD, well.. it's hard. Life is full of moments that change everything if we're willing to bare our souls.

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: Prince released Purple Rain... he was 25 years old... 25, dude. Tell me a Prince story.

BIRTHDAYS: George Orwell, born on this day in 1903. Did you know he was only 46 years old when he passed, and even though he was on the BBC a number of times, there are NO recordings of his voice in existence?

DEATHS: On this day in 2009, I was at Niagara Falls for a work trip. My wife and I had just checked into our hotel, when we heard the news that well known actress Farrah Fawcett had died of cancer, then a few moments later, we heard about Michael Jackson and his death from drug overdose. Any influence there?

WEIRD TRIVIA OF THE WEEK: What is this shiny monolith thing that keeps happening all over the world? A conspiracy? Aliens? A demonic trick? This first started happening in 2020 during the pandemic, and a few were found in different countries, including the Utah and California in the US and weirdly, another in Romania of all places.

SONG OF THE WEEK: If you subscribe to our Patreon, you get the reactions free! Links below! There's a great band from New Jersey called Float Omen that recently released a new song called Above the Waves and I can't get enough of it. So many influences all balled up into one sexy metalcore package. We LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!

I'm a former professional drummer...]]>2297charles,exoval,float,health,jon,memorist,mental,metalcore,omen,over,rockstar,starting,superhero,uk,vocalist,wellnesstruefullhttps://www.spreaker.com/episode/si-10-this-is-clark-larew-jones-comedian--60468685
The man has the best last name..... but since you all know that my full name is Robert Leland Jones, it makes sense.. Son of John, which means God is gracious... I have always liked that part of my name, even if I don't use it often.

You've seen Clark on Comedy Central, the Laugh Factory and well... everywhere a comedic voice matters.

His POV is amazingly insightful, hugely funny, and well...if you've seen his "soulmate is dead" bit, you know he's a legend in the making. He's been around for a long time, but like most comedians, you'd swear he was an overnight sensation, since you didn't watch him from day one... but trust me, he's worked it hard for a long time. The man is committed.

Lastly, You know me. I don't swing lightly. I find the best people because I wield my ability to discern. I know talent when I see and hear it, and after today, you will too. This is Clark Larew Jones!

TIME CODES:

5:00 The humanity of the comedian: Clark Larew Jones
7:00 The business of sales
11:00 Playing to the back row of the theater
14:00 When your friends think they're supporting you
18:00 When comedians were dangerous
21:00 Getting social media views and likes can be dangerous
26:00 Have we ever solved racism in the US? 
27:00 The theory on white people
31:00 The process of making something funny 34:00 Mulaney and the power of super comedy 38:00 Rob's on his second marriage
42:00 Rob's father in law finally accepted him over a beer
44:00 Stockton Rush's submersible

48:00 What type of music does Clark Jones like? This is where the REACTION was. Watch the Patreon version of the show to see/hear it! 

50:00 Clark likes Knower 
54:00 Being drawn to mean spirited commentary
57:00 Comfort in seeing a bully get his 
1:00:00 When cruelty becomes the standard
1:03:00 Prince was the king
1:07:00 Seeing the name in the Comedy Central credits
1:10:00 What does Clark's name mean?

---

MONOLOGUE: Recently, my wife graduated with another degree in occupational therapy and it was a great reminder of a few things. 1) We must pursue something that sets us apart... no matter the cost. 2) I was so proud and found myself crying just watching her walk, let alone walk across the stage. 3) Love is a weird thing and my desire to hide from my emotions at times is even weirder.

--- 

ON THIS DAY: In 1815, Napoleon and his French army lost everything at the battle of Waterloo, which as we all know resulted in a fantastic pop hit by ABBA. Seriously, tho... the battle only lasted one day, which I didn't know until I did my research for this show today. Also, Arthur Wellington, who rose to historical prominence by leading the opposing armies against Napoleon had Beef Wellington named after him. That's the kind of hard hitting research we do here. Are you an ABBA fan?

BIRTHDAYS: 35 years ago today, my first born arrived, which is utter madness when you 1) realize I'm that old to have more than one child in his mid 30s, and 2) that also means I probably have grandchildren, of which I have 6. Do you have children, Clark?

DEATHS: A year ago today, Stockton Rush and 4 others died when his submersible, The Titan, imploded as it descended to visit the wreckage of the Titanic. Hubris is a weird thing. I admire his pioneering spirit. It takes almost complete disregard to do something new and unusual and he paid the price, but yeah... he could have done more to ensure safety. Then again, how do we visit the moon without risk? Did we ever visit the moon?

----

REACTION that you missed if you don't follow our Patreon.: KNOWER - "I'm the President."

1) It's super funky.
2) it's super jazzy.
3) it's super weird (and if you know Clown Core, then you know why).

Just released a new album on the 2nd and touring Europe next month. If you like Louis Cole's wild drumming and musical styles, pick this record up. Fantastic stuff.

He's also been very outspoken about his recovery over the last few years, so I feel like today I might get a little help and in turn, you the listener might also receive exactly what you need. 

Get out your patched jean jacket, because it's time to dive deep into the mind of an old school thrash guitarist...Ladies and gentlemen, it's Tim Tymo.

If you're a member of our Patreon, you heard us react to the Song of the Week:

Giant Walker - Halcion 

I fell in love with this band a few years ago, having heard of them through their management and label.  They are from the UK, .... Newcastle to be exact... Their last album is a constant banger, called All In Good Time. The sound is groovy, the tonality of her voice sublime, and well.... they just frickin' rule.  One of my favorite modern rock bands. This track, Halcion, is the newest release coming to us just last week, so we get a really early run at it. 
Definitely recommend them. Amazing stuff.

THIS WEEK IS NATIONAL FORGIVENESS WEEK.
It’s a week that helps transform personal grievances into personal growth and greater emotional freedom. I'd like to talk about that with you.  What have you forgiven yourself for?

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: In 1963, US President JFK says segregation is morally wrong and that it is "time to act" - this opens up a big can of worms because it puts a spotlight on all that's wrong with our assumptions of people over race, religion, or creed. It's the best thing for all but it brings out the worst in people. Look at what it continues to do to our world. We just can't get along. So much hate.

BIRTHDAYS: Richard Strauss (German composer, born in 1864). Born in Munich. This piece of music was heavily criticized at the time for representing philosophy through music.... based on Friedrich Nietzsche's idea of a super person instead of the concept of God.... that mankind was its own god. It's own hero The hero of this book was a prophet named Zarathustra who longed for higher aspirations. To Strauss, it was the idea of music as symbolism for Evolution, which is why Kubrick used it for 2001, a Space Odyssey. It's musical YEARNING. I find it compelling regardless of its place in pop culture or history. It's an intensely lovely piece of music.

ODDITY OF THE WEEK: New research indicates that elephants are even smarter than we previously thought. According to an article in the Associated Press, It turns out that elephants are one of the few mammals that call each other by names. Elephants have names for each other! Besides humans, it's also believed that the other mammals who do this are Dolphins and Parrots, which both make a lot of sense. I think it's much more, though. I think we have wrongly associated the idea of brain size with intelligence. We say that a small brain in a spider for example indicates it's not intelligent to the level a human is, yet it can do things that we can't even comprehend and it does them to a very high degree. Not just that it can spin a web, but in how it does it strategically. We assume it's due to some inner natural tendency, but I believe it's all intelligence, which indicates a creative power. Of course, this leads to a Creator, which is another whole can of fun.

Okay now... hang on, because this is a whole other thing.

Matt's legendary Australian hardcore band, King Parrot, has really made waves and strides over the past few years. They've found their way to the biggest stages in the world. Part of that is their connection to Pantera's Phil Anselmo, as the band are on his label, Housecore Records, but also because they might put on the most energetic, hilarious, and outrageous live act I've seen in decades.

I was able to see them last September when they played Seattle and within minutes of taking the stage, the tornado was on full steam. Matt and the band killed it, and the next thing I know it's over and I'm a sweaty mess. A hour whizzed by and I realized that I had grinned ear to ear the entire time. 

Their show is a masterpiece of noise and outrageous energy and the man at the center of the whirlwind is my guest today.

Welcome Matthew (Youngy) Young of King Parrot!

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: In 1964, the Beatles began their only tour EVER, by playing 2 shows in Denmark. British drummer Jimmie Nicol replaces Ringo Starr (recovering from tonsillitis) for the first five dates. Can you imagine seeing the Beatles... (the BEATLES)... on their only tour and you DON'T get Ringo? Sheesh.

BIRTHDAYS: Angelina Jolie was born today in 1975. Russell Brand born today in 1975.

WEIRD TRIVIA OF THE WEEK:National Invisible day: How many times have you wished to be invisible? The Invisible Day offers us a chance to explore that fantasy, but with a twist that’s more about inner peace than vanishing acts. It’s a day that invites us to step back from our daily grind and find solace in solitude, acknowledging those moments when we all feel a bit unseen or overwhelmed by the demands of a connected world.This special day is celebrated across the United States not just for the playful idea of invisibility but also as a meaningful nod to mental health. Invisible Day supports taking a break to unwind, reflect, and enjoy our own company away from the pressures of social media and work.

WEIRD TRIVIA OF THE WEEK:National Invisible day: How many times have you wished to be invisible? The Invisible Day offers us a chance to explore that fantasy, but with a twist that’s more about inner peace than vanishing acts. It’s a day that invites us to step back from our daily grind and find solace in solitude, acknowledging those moments when we all feel a bit unseen or overwhelmed by the demands of a connected world.This special day is celebrated across the United States not just for the playful idea of invisibility but also as a meaningful nod to mental health. Invisible Day supports taking a break to unwind, reflect, and enjoy our own company away from the pressures of social media and work.

My super talented buddy, Marco Bravi, is here! I had a chance to host Marco on my old show, Rockstar Superhero, a few years back when he was doing press for his band, Virtual Symmetry. We had a great time. He's the Italian apple of my eye and a friend to everyone. Ladies and gentlemen, Marco Bravi!

MONOLOGUE: I've been on a real run with self help books lately. Part of it is that I like getting differing opinions about the nature of man and how an opinion can shape us. That said, what most seem to agree on, is the obvious.... it's about our mental state more than anything. Sure, it's vital that we are in decent health and looking to keep ourselves fit by eating well and getting daily exercise. BUT, the largest focus is always on mental health and acuity. As we all know, everything runs together in tandem, so if you don't feel good, you don't think well, and if you don't think well, chances are you don't feel physically well. That circle... that cycle. Kind of a big deal.

Here's the thing. We all know this, but we keep going as if a life will find health simply by powering through or waiting for something that makes us happy to want to make these changes. Why celebrity self help books? We have this habit of believing celebrities in general... they attract us with their big lifestyles that seem as though they are doing better. The reality of it is that they are still 100% mortal and filled with doubt just like you and I.

The reason I have read THESE last 3 books is that these 3 have done something wildly different than most. They stand out because they are 3 books based around the lives of 3 people who shouldn't have made it, but did.

1) Arnold Schwarzenegger had to get over post Nazi Germany parents, and an accent that wouldn't quit, to find a dream in America.

2) Gary John Bishop was a working class, general contractor, with an interest in helping people unlock their capacity for change.

3) Kevin Hart had to overcome a significant size disadvantage. He wanted to be a basketball player, his dad was a drug addict, and he grew up in a rough and tumble neighborhood.

You have to do the work and you have to go where the work is. Then, you not only have to outwork the competition, but you have to outwork the guy that would hire you. It never gets easy. In fact, the higher you go up the chain, the harder it gets because the expectations get bigger. As Kevin says and he's 100% true, it's not that hard to get where you want to go, but it's super hard to stay there. You never pay your dues. You just get new dues. Nobody is ever at the top, even if the rest of us perceive it as such.

Today is a big one: WORLD HUNGER DAY The day serves as a platform to highlight the harsh reality that many still face food scarcity and poor nutrition, which can lead to severe health problems. World hunger day started in 2011 and serves as a call to action to raise awareness and to encourage to serve others now. What are we waiting for? Have you ever participated in a day of service for others?

BIRTHDAYS: Gladys Knight is 79 years old today. I remember being a young man and hearing Midnight Train to Georgia. In fact, in 1974, when I was riding my bike around East Wenatchee, it was the song of the summer, even though it came out a year before. That was a zeitgeist moment for her and an indelible memory for me.

He's one of my favorite people in the world, because when Simen shows up, the world smiles a little brighter. Simen offers so much in the way of inspiration. He's a fantastic drummer, to be sure, but what sets him apart is his never ending desire to love, share kind thoughts, to encourage, and as mentioned in the previous sentence, to inspire. He's a wonder.

I hope you love this show as much as we did sharing the 2 hours together. I hope his gift of love and affection takes you to another space where the world of music and spirit collide.

MONOLOGUE: 
It's been a week full of creative energy and gnashing of teeth.  My head hurts way too much because I don't sleep, but when have I ever actually slept? The bags under my eyes prove the truth, you know? I'm starting to seriously think I have a solid case of sleep apnea.  I know I'm not in perfect shape, but I've noticed the last few months (only the last few) that I wake every night with a very dry mouth and I think I'm sleeping with my mouth open at night.  Granted, I'm also a diabetic now (don't get me started) and it's a sign of something greater and sadly distressing.  All said, I know I'm turning a blind eye to my health, but I just don't have the bandwidth to care at this moment.  

I'm still dealing with anger, but I can't complain too much.  I've been begging the big man to take it all away from me, but he's got bigger fish to fry.

A very close friend who suffered from a brain tumor a few years ago has finally been diagnosed with malignant cancers in her liver and chest so things went upside down in our community of friends pretty quickly.

It reminds me that as much as I hate my life at times, I don't have to worry about having my head cut off because I don't believe the same things that the government does or how can I complain when I have a refrigerator with 25 different hot sauce flavors to compliment my meal?  I mean ... how hard is this really?

Nik Barker and I had never met in person until today. Today is numero uno.  All said, I have been a fan of Nik's for a number of years.  I discovered his old band, Twelve Foot Ninja at the end of 2015. I'd heard about the band through the grapevine and my connections in the music business.  

A buddy of mine had seen them at a festival in Ohio and told me how much he'd enjoyed them. Surprisingly, a new video of theirs ended up on YouTube.... something called One Hand Killing, and the next thing you know, I'm jumping down the rabbit hole of everything I'd missed.  I told everyone. I learned all the material.  I reveled in the absurdity of their musical skill levels and their very bizarre sense of humor.  Sadly, within the last few years, the band went on permanent hiatus and Nik has moved on.  

This all to say, regardless of what happened and where they may be going, they have done something very few bands have... they've created something truly unique and inspiring, they've reached around the globe and my guest today was the VOICE of that legacy.

Sander is a fantastic songwriter, guitarist and singer and I love him to death. He's the leader of the Mechelen scene's L'itch and, until recently (one week post recording this interview, one fifth of the EU supergroup known as Hippotraktor.

Available on Pelagic Records, Hippotraktor features members of L'itch and Psychonaut. The band is known for soaring hooks, technical riffing and earth-shattering breakdowns. Their new album releases June 7th, 2024 and it's progressive metal of the highest order. L'itch is an monster of an alternative band and is Sander's most important pet, with a new record releasing soon. I've heard it and it's unbelievably good. I can't wait to share more when the time is right.

Reiterating, Sander has all the bells and whistles in his musical repertoire and he's a fantastic human. Maybe the best ever. He is so clearly aware of his surroundings, he's inspiring, and above all, he's kind. We could all do better like Sander.

Sander is a fantastic songwriter, guitarist and singer and I love him to death. He's the leader of the Mechelen scene's L'itch and, until recently (one week post recording this interview, one fifth of the EU supergroup known as Hippotraktor.

Available on Pelagic Records, Hippotraktor features members of L'itch and Psychonaut. The band is known for soaring hooks, technical riffing and earth-shattering breakdowns. Their new album releases June 7th, 2024 and it's progressive metal of the highest order. L'itch is an monster of an alternative band and is Sander's most important pet, with a new record releasing soon. I've heard it and it's unbelievably good. I can't wait to share more when the time is right.

Reiterating, Sander has all the bells and whistles in his musical repertoire and he's a fantastic human. Maybe the best ever. He is so clearly aware of his surroundings, he's inspiring, and above all, he's kind. We could all do better like Sander.

My guest today, Tommy Meehan, dislikes the comparisons to the influences of his youth, but it's hard not to hear the tones that built the man. His absurdist venom-spouting new act, Squid Pisser, is nothing I've ever heard before.. and that means something extra extra to me. The man is already a guitar god of the underworld who also just happens to be an incredibly warm human which seriously belies his altered state of a stage personality.

Squid Pisser's new EP, 'Vaporize a Neighbor' and it's big brother, 'Vaporize a Tadpole,' is out on Bandcamp now and requires listening of a most scrutinous level. It's also recommended that you are looking for something a little confounding, a lot distorted, and that which oozes a bit from a two week old wound. It's disgusting, yet somehow, some way... once you pick the scab off, it's perfect.

He and his musical partner of 46 years, Russell Hitchcock, formed Air Supply, the song writing super duo, in the early 70's and really never looked back.

Graham's childhood was anything but normal, leaving him without a mother at a very early age. However, these stark beginnings formed in him in a sort of poetry that eventually found its way into the hearts of millions of fans, as Air Supply became a genre unto itself. He is, and will always be, a passionate man, loving his friends and family and especially his fans, with the deepest sense of love and commitment.

New York state's own Charles Cure, singer for the legendary hardcore band, Hush, has a new project that is way more than just another new idea. 'Spiritkiller,' which may be the best name for a band ever, is that which Charles is a part of, and who's music you are listening to at this very minute.

Spiritkiller embodies all that which rocks and crushes and the music speaks to an era sadly long discarded, but also one of which has never been forgotten. It's musical bliss and takes your humble host all the way back to that first moment when hardcore meant something.

On top of all this, Charles and I connect in a rare way, on a wavelength few are willing to straddle. I can't wait for you to hear what we chat about in this show.

So, dig it. This is my conversation on the latest and the greatest from Charles Cure of the monstrously talented Spiritkiller, and this is THE Rockstar Superhero podcast.

As it worked out, I was able to get a good 40 minutes with Vojta, talking about his awesome band, Seeing Things, and chatting about life as a musician and local influencer. The best part of these kinds of interviews are the discovery of a new band, a new sound, and a new human who deserves recognition.

Make sure you check out the new Seeing Things single, "Soulkiller," because of cours, it is. It's been out for a few weeks now, so what are you waiting for? I should also say that I'm forever grateful for James Illsley at Saviour Management for making these opportunities happen. What a blessed journey this has been.

So, thanks for making the time to listen today and make sure you follow Seeing Things wherever you are listening to great metal, rock and roll, or electronica.

They are worth your time, for sure. This is my interview with Vojta Pačesný of Seeing Things, and this is the new Rockstar Superhero. Thanks for listening!

I don't get to talk to many musicians from the former Eastern Bloc in Europe, so learning more about who they are, and what makes their culture and music different, is a really fun process. As it...
As it worked out, I was able to get a good 40 minutes with Vojta, talking about his awesome band, Seeing Things, and chatting about life as a musician and local influencer. The best part of these kinds of interviews are the discovery of a new band, a new sound, and a new human who deserves recognition.

Make sure you check out the new Seeing Things single, "Soulkiller," because of cours, it is. It's been out for a few weeks now, so what are you waiting for? I should also say that I'm forever grateful for James Illsley at Saviour Management for making these opportunities happen. What a blessed journey this has been.

So, thanks for making the time to listen today and make sure you follow Seeing Things wherever you are listening to great metal, rock and roll, or electronica.

They are worth your time, for sure. This is my interview with Vojta Pačesný of Seeing Things, and this is the new Rockstar Superhero. Thanks for listening!

I've known Chris for awhile now, and in that time, I've fallen in love with his musical projects. I've also witnessed him suffer traumatic loss at an almost legendary scale. Like all of us, Chris has lost family members and friends over the years, including his father, whom Chris was incredibly close. His father's passing has resulted in Chris creating a new album project where he lays his life and feelings bare in the rarest of ways. You want to reach through his songs to help him heal, but wildly enough, the very reason you want to do that IS because his words and theme touch your aching heart as well. It's quite something to experience.

So, this said, I can only warn you that today is not your typical light conversation about an upcoming band or a cautionary tale of celebrity. This is Chris Hathcock, uncompromisingly authentic and desperately seeking anything or anyone that will bring him out of the deep dark hole he's been trapped in as far back as he can remember. This is a conversation about mental illness, surviving it, and admitting that thriving within it doesn't just seem hopeless, but impossible.

This is a conversation about the most ugly truths. This is a real life deep dive with my friend, Chris Hathcock, on a very important Rockstar Superhero.

Many of them have gone on to that great gig in the sky, but those that have survived the last 45 years are the true legacy artists of a long gone generation. Mention Johnny Rotten, Siouxsie Sioux, Nina Hagen, or Henry Rollins and you know they changed the musical landscape forever, and their influence is far reaching.

Of all the surviving punks, John Robb is a truly influential human, known not only as a founding member of the legendary Membranes, but as a writer, a commentator, a pundit, and an industry insider for over 30 years. Our conversation today was everything I had hoped it'd be. As you can imagine, this is a man with too many stories, but we got to a few, and most importantly took the opportunity to talk about his AMAZING new book, "The Art of Darkness, the History of Goth."

So, to quote Marty DiBergi from Spinal Tap, "enough of my yakkin'.... let's boogie." This is my hour long chat with the legend that is John Robb and this, as always, is your Rockstar Superhero.

Bassist Steve McDonald started his professional music career at 11 years old. Within a few years, he and his brother Jeff started the seminal power pop band, Redd Kross and, less than 10 years later, played the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

30 years later, Steve is still killing it, standing in the ceremonial center, providing ground support for the legendary sludge metal band, The Melvins.

The new album, Bad Mood Rising, is a mix of all the things The Melvins do so well and they don't mind letting you have it, square in your ear hole. Make sure you pick up the new record as soon as you listen to our super fun chat, okay? Don't just stream it. Buy it, then see the band on tour.

It's rare that an artist can feel so singular, even when it's apparent that there is a sort of hidden musical homage to those that have influenced them.

Karin's new album, Private Collection, speaks to the soul in a profound way. The music is glassy, mesmerizing, morose, lovely, challenging, enchanting, and dare I say pure. It's a must own and one in which I'll be listening to and sharing with my friends for decades to come. I really can't exaggerate its importance in this brave new world. Go buy it today.

This is my lovely chat with the slight provocateur, Karin Park, and you're listening to the new Rockstar Superhero.

Today, on the show, you're going to make another new discovery with me, as we listen to the first moments a new artistic friendship was formed.

Dennis' band, Spirit in the Room, is a dark hearted novel come to amazing life and we are all here to witness it's truth and fiction. The new album, Flamingo, is a thickly mixed, dense and brutally melancholy work of singularity. The name of the band clearly draws a line in the sand, because the music does sound like a spirit in the room. I'm just not sure if it's friendly or not.

Why tell you anything more, when you can listen to our great great great conversation? The answer is "I'm not going to." You'll have to take the next 45 minutes to learn the truth about the man, the band, and the reasons behind it.

This is Spirit in the Room and you're listening to Rockstar Superhero.

Why tell you anything more, when you can listen to our great great great conversation? The answer is "I'm not going to." You'll have to take the next 45 minutes to learn the truth about the man, the band, and the reasons behind it.

This is Spirit in the Room and you're listening to Rockstar Superhero.

Sinnery's new record, Black Bile, comes out in September, and everyone I know is thrilled to hear the entire work. Hopefully, today's show, along with the opening song you're hearing under this intro, will turn you on. Get on the presale list now, because it's a killer record.

Alon shares some great insight into life in Israel and the meaning behind each song on the record, so now's the time to learn about this great band, if you didn't already know who they were.

A giant in the making, this is my interview with Alon Karnieli of Israel's SINNERY and this, as always, is Rockstar Superhero.

Over the last 12 months, we've had a few different chats, and this interview presented today, is an amalgam of those conversations. If it sounds a bit disjointed thematically, it's only because we edited around the variables as best we could, all while keeping the thrust of the band's story complete.

That said, here is our conversation in it's uncensored and often painful glory. This is my interview with Jens, Andreas, Mikkel and Christian of the Danish progressive metal band, Feather Mountain, and this is Rockstar Superhero.

People love to categorize. In fact, they love to do it so much, that every band in history despises the question, yet guys like me have to ask it because how else can we turn our listeners onto a new thing? Listeners love to think they are open minded, but secretly, they are looking to hear what they like and are rarely open to new sounds or ideas.

Cue Stormbound. The band is not bound (pun intended) to any one genre, even though they are often lumped into Symphonic or Power metal sub genres. Stormbound is its own thing and I would guarantee you're going to love it.

So, let's just jump right in and play, shall we? Hailing from Israel, this is the fascinating Stormbound, and this is your favorite podcast, Rockstar Superhero.

Do you let it overwhelm you? Do you ask it questions, to better understand it's impossible point of view? Do you sit and revel in the idea that some can see other worlds and imagine other sounds?...
Typically, I sit in awe and do my best impression of a smart person, so I can at least hang on some level. That's about all I could do when I connected with Tim and Chris from the musically ambitious High Castle Teleorkestra. There's just so much to learn and see and hear, so the best bet is to just hang on for dear life and enjoy whatever comes of the questions, because it's never what you expected.

Let's get right to the wow, okay? Sound good? This is Tim Smolens and Chris Bogen of the experimental mindblow known as High Castle Teleorketra, and this, somehow, remains to be... Rockstar Superhero.

Would you bear down and deal with the circumstances and worry about the consequences later? How would you respond emotionally? Would you pray?

My guest today, Charles Cure of the brutal New York based sludge metal band, HUSH, encountered such an experience. For Charles, his experiences were life changing, but affirming all at the same time. Charles knows what he wants and nothing was going to get in the way of the bigger picture.

The details of this moment are explained in greater detail in the show today, so prepare for the unexpected. I didn't see this coming at all.

Hudson, New York-based crust-influenced sludge outfit HUSH unveils their third full-length release, The Pornography Of Ruin.

HUSH is formed by veterans of indie and underground bands from disparate corners of the scene and currently includes former members of From Ashes Rise, Self Defense Family, Aficionado, Endicott, and others. The Pornography Of Ruin showcases a more expanded view of their established sound by embracing more melodic elements, intense dynamic shifts, and previously unexplored vocal and atmospheric textures within each composition. Thematically, the record focuses on the concept of personal destruction and transformation; drawing heavily from vocalist/lyricist Charles Cure’s experiences in the aftermath of a 2016 car accident that left him hospitalized and unable to walk for several months.

Cure elaborates, “At the time the first song for this album was written, I was struggling to relearn how to put one foot in front of the other and confronting major personal transformations on both mental and physical levels. By the time the last song was completed, the world had become destabilized by a global pandemic as well as political upheaval and violence. With past HUSH material, we had always tried to write songs that captured a sense of impending disaster at a macro/abstract level, but at a remove from our personal lives. With The Pornography Of Ruin, given the environment we found ourselves in, that approach didn’t seem useful anymore so we took those same ideas and personalized them on a deep level. I think the songs really communicate the feelings of helplessness and loss that were pretty universal to our experience of the last few years.”

The Pornography Of Ruin was engineered at the band’s studio; HOVVL Audio Environment in Hudson, New York by frequent collaborator Ryan Slowey and was mastered by Jack Shirley at Atomic Garden in Oakland, California. The cover was created with photography by an urban explorer Adrian Ledezma and design by Charles Hush. Fans of Disembowelment, Corrupted, Samothrace, Grief, and Mouth Of The Architect, take note.

The Pornography Of Ruin will see release on June 24th, released digitally and on CD by the band, on cassette via Sludgelord Records, with plans for a vinyl release to follow.

The release of The Pornography Of Ruin will see HUSH embarking on its first live shows since 2018 on a short Mid-Atlantic/Northeast run with their friends in New Jersey doom band Cowardice in late June being solidified. Watch for updates on that and additional live news to follow

In their ten years together as a band, HUSH has become one of New York’s most sonically punishing musical exports. During that time, they have produced two LP’s and two EP’s worth of acerbic sludge covered in a layer of ‘90s crust and infused with flourishes of atmospheric post-metal, earning them a loyal following in extreme metal circles.

In a live setting, the band has developed a reputation for a kinetic onslaught, delivering huge waves of distortion through a wall of amplifiers accompanied by a primitive rhythmic churn that has at times featured two drummers simultaneously pummeling the towering riffs into submission.

HUSH muscled their way onto the scene in 2014 with the release of their first self-released LP titled Unexist, and then proceeded to solidify their sound with the sparser and bleaker aesthetic of 2016’s Nihil Unbound EP, released as a collaboration between Dullest Records, Silent Pendulum Records, and Fuzz Records. Their most recent recorded offering was the 2018 LP Untitled II released via UK label Sludgelord Records, with the album comprising two tracks of material from writing sessions for Nihil Unbound as well as a reimagined and rerecorded version of their first EP, 2012’s Untitled I.

In the years since the recording and release of Untitled II, the band has endured several lineup shifts that resulted in limited live outings, but the group remained focused on producing a follow-up record that would surpass their previous efforts on every front. To accomplish this, founding member Jordan Cozza built a recording studio in a barn in Hudson, New York and the group began shaping songs that would refine and encapsulate the ideas they had been pursuing since their inception. The result of these labors is the 2022 LP, The Pornography Of Ruin.

I was honored to chat with frontman Jacob Charlton about the way the music business and the band's fanbase has gravitated increasingly towards them, as their sound and look has matured. It may not be easy to be this badass, but Thornhill makes it look like it's a run around the park.

Make sure you check out their new album, 'Heroine,' to discover the musical tricks the band plays on you as it lulls you into its heavenly power pop realm. I imagine, the band will be spending the next year on the road in support of the new record, one way or another, so make sure you check them out as soon as you can. Thornhill is definitely going to the top.

With that, please enjoy my conversation with Jacob Charlton, the very interesting singer of Thornhill. It's June 2022, and you're listening to Rockstar Superhero.

What's most amazing is how they've figured out, in this day and age, to bring something new and fresh when it should be an utterly impossible thing to accomplish. How exactly does one invent a new...
How exactly does one invent a new sound? Just what is it about these guys? And what the heck were they thinking with that name?

Well, if you even remotely enjoy rock, pop, or metal, chances are you'll love the way RXPTRS brings the juice. When I say they own an original sound, it's probably because they own who they are.

This interview will prove my point, so I'm not giving anything else away. Dive into the pool populated by 5 outrageously talented and passionate musicians and when you come up for air, you'll be smiling from ear to ear.

This is RXPTRS on Rockstar Superhero.

His band, Outshine, hails from Sweden, and his music reflects the culture and sound of a dark brooding winter better than most. Interestingly, Jimmy's music belies the culture and even its own sound at times, as his message is one of overcoming and a hidden hope that our world can find its way back to what made it lovely.

The new Outshine album, The Awakening, comes out tomorrow, so I urge our listeners to pick it up to revel in its dissonant glory.

This is my conversation with a great guy, the inimitable Jimmy Boman of Outshine, and this is Rockstar Superhero.

Focused on the moment, Josh's band is readying to release their visionary new work, the stunning OBSIDIAN, and I have to say.... steel yourself, because this new record, hitting the shelves on April 22nd, is a masterpiece and the timing couldn't be better. This is their anthem, their moment, their zenith, their apex.... so far. I'm 100% positive we haven't even seen what they're truly capable of and I can't wait to experience what comes next, but what we have for now is utterly amazing. You'll see.

Josh Davies from the brutal death metal act, Monasteries, joined me today from the United Kingdom and we touched on these themes as well as many others. Josh and his mates have just released the new single, LILAC, and the piece ramps up from what we've heard previously from the band, as well as the death metal scene at large.

Their music is chaotic, terrifying at times, and brutally heavy... and to this, I imagine we all say, "well, of course." It's what they do, and I love it.

So, instead of giving more away, why don't you check out this great chat with Josh Davies of Monasteries? This is Rockstar Superhero.

I was absolutely blessed to connect with chief songwriter, Mihai Tivadar, and have a fantastic discussion about the bonkers music he and his bandmates create.

They are a wild ride down a folksy metallic hardcore road and you don't really want out of the vehicle because it has so much horsepower. I was absolutely...
I was absolutely blessed to connect with chief songwriter, Mihai Tivadar, and have a fantastic discussion about the bonkers music he and his bandmates create. Dirty Shirt has been a fixture on the European festival circuit for years, yet has never set foot in North America. We need to do something about that, and after you hear their music and this interview, I'm sure you'll agree.

This is my new buddy, Mihai Tivadar of the massively popular Romanian cult group, Dirty Shirt, and this is Rockstar Superhero.

My father said that my guest today was the most committed player of his generation, at least on the Seahawks, and I'd have to say that he was probably spot on.

Lofa Tatupu is a man of standards, work ethic, and drive. As it goes, life after the NFL can hit all sorts of snags, but Lofa walked towards opportunity and away from his fears.

Lofa founded ZoneInCBD in 2018, and through this company, is serving the people in a different way, and through a different product than he ever imagined. Through continuous growth and effort, Lofa found his purpose, and his influence can be felt throughout the industry.

He's a tactical businessman, and coupled with his smile and intelligence, is bringing change to a community that has been maligned and stigmatized for 80+ years.

No more.

This is 3 time Pro Bowl linebacker, Lofa Tatupu, of your Seattle Seahawks, and this is Rockstar Superhero.

The new album, Pyramiden, allows us to see into this seemingly impenetrable world, giving us glimpses of faded hardcore, lilting vocals in the shape of questions marks and a digital thud, guaranteed to confound all those daring to listen.

It's wild and magical and a must for the discriminating metal fan. Mark my words, SYK is a new thing and like the Italian supercars of Modena, you won't see them coming or going.

Italian extreme metal collective SYK will unleash their long-awaited new full-length, Pyramiden, on March 11th via Housecore Records in North America and Nuclear Blast in Europe.

SYK, featuring founding guitarist and principal songwriter Stefano Ferrian (ex-Psychofagist), vocalist Dalila Kayros, rhythm/lead guitarist Marcello Cravini, and new recruit, drummer Mauro Maraldo (ex-Onirik), has been scorching ears and torching souls for nearly a decade. Led by the nihilistic vocal assault of Kayros, SYK is at once grim and complex; relentless and alluring, fusing the tight, rhythmic pummeling of Meshuggah with the haunting melodies of Bjork.
Following their debut LP Atoma (2014), the band released their second effort, I-Optikon, on Housecore Records (2016). Produced by Philip H. Anselmo, I-Optikon reaped critical accolades from fans and critics in the know.

Lauded New Noise Magazine, “We just haven’t heard anything even remotely like this before – and I don’t think we’re going to forget it anytime soon.” Echoing Magazine championed, “Female vocals that carry a yell like Exene Cervenka, as done with the same power as Henry Rollins,” while Skulls ‘N’ Bones likened the listen to, “… a trip through the empty, shattered halls of someone’s emotional insane asylum,” adding, “it’s music to swallow glass by.”

And with 2022 comes the band’s third full-length Pyramiden. Composed and recorded over the course of three years, the seven-track offering was mixed in the Winter of 2020/2021 at Inverno Studios under the supervision of Fabrizio Gesuato, while mastering took place at Anselmo’s own Nodferatu’s Lair with Stephen Berrigan at the helm. The record features artwork by Elena Romenkova.

Comments Ferrian, “Pyramiden is about finding the way to isolate oneself to all the uneasiness coming from society, then find a suitable space to face one’s uneasiness. It’s being in the farthest place on earth where silence gives room to all sorts of visions or hallucinations. As with the previous release, Pyramiden follows the alchemic principle of dissolving in order to assume a new shape but diving far deeper into obscurity where surviving means, in fact, to invent light into darkness.”

SYK:
Dalila Kayros – vocals/synths
Stefano Ferrian – guitar
Marcello Cravini – guitar
Mauro Maraldo – drums
Marco Mastrobuono – guest bass

I did get quite a bit out of him today, but I wish I could just sit down with him for a day or two and pick his brain. Tim knows so much about music. He's insanely passionate and filled with joy over the silliest things, and he's a genuinely lovable guy. What a mensch.

Tim is currently promoting the new album 'The Art of a Maniac,' and it sounds like the title suggests. It's raw, unfiltered, pinpoint accurate, thrashy and trashy and utterly awesome in its purview. It's a bonkers record and one that you need to let wash over you like toxic sludge, because that's the only way you're going to get the point.

This is my excitable interview with the man himself. This is Tim Tymo on Rockstar Superhero.

I did get quite a bit out of him today, but I wish I could just sit down with him for a day or two and pick his brain. Tim knows so much about music. He's insanely passionate and filled with joy over the silliest things, and he's a genuinely lovable guy. What a mensch.

Tim is currently promoting the new album 'The Art of a Maniac,' and it sounds like the title suggests. It's raw, unfiltered, pinpoint accurate, thrashy and trashy and utterly awesome in its purview. It's a bonkers record and one that you need to let wash over you like toxic sludge, because that's the only way you're going to get the point.

This is my excitable interview with the man himself. This is Tim Tymo on Rockstar Superhero.

The new album, Zero and Below, drops on March 4th and it's fully formed. Recorded 2 years ago, the pandemic has kept its power from us, but no more. The music will bring a smile to your face as that classic sound pours into your eardrums and soul. It's great stuff.

Crowbar tours with Sepultura, beginning in March as well, so you can get your Crowbar fix and watch another legendary band tear up the stage. It's an amazing bill and one I hope to see.

SOM will be releasing the new album, The Shape of Everything in a few days, and will be out by the time you hear this interview. It's massive in scope, sound, and vision. It's a singular gargantuan album and it's my great hope that it won't get lost in the myriad of musical releases that happen this time of year. It's already on my Album of the year list, and I don't see how it can be bested. It's just that good.

Will was kind enough to give me a some time in the middle of his press run for the new album release, so I honor his attention to this experience and I'm deeply honored. His voice is impeccable and if I didn't make it obvious, the music could be the best thing ever.

This is my conversation with the man himself, vocalist Will Benoit, of the atmospheric SOM, on Rockstar Superhero.

This dream wasn't apparent, but she knew in her gut that a destiny waited for her. Was it fame? Was it some other sort of perceived importance? Who knew?...
Today, Esjay is not only an influencer in the music business, but a confident connected in all things rock and roll. She has instincts that most of us wish we understood and a drive that is unrelenting. She will never stop, never cave in, and never quit on her friends, her family, or the world. She is what they call in super hero movies, inevitable.

Our conversation was brimming with energy and a sense of humor that is rare in my world and our talk was one of my favorite experiences ever, so hang on to your hats because this is about to get as real as it gets.

This is Esjay Jones, the creator of We are Pigs, on Rockstar Superhero.

I had a chance to talk to both Tuomas and Patrik for roughly an hour, and it was a most personal affair. The guys shared the truth behind the words and the pain behind the music and we all left better men for it.

I love these guys so much that I almost want to move my entire family to Finland, just so we can spend more time together. It was that special to me.

Now, I know I'm known for exaggeration and speaking in glassy tones about the bands and music I love, but this one WAS different. After listening to the show, I hope you feel the same way too.

Kyle has been a influence in the music scene for as long as I've been listening to heavy music, and his vocal style has been ripped off for years. Some of the biggest bands ever copped his sound, but we can't complain about that.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?

The band is back together again, and are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their seminal debut, Slaughter in the Vatican. They are taking the show on the road, and will be playing a venue near you in December, as well as key dates and festivals coming up in the new year.

I was able to snag Kyle for a few minutes before our connection went to pot. After 10 days, we tried again, but our connection was still rough, so we cut it short and I cobbled the audio together for this release. I apologize, but sometimes the fates don't allow, and they definitely didn't this go around.

With that, I hope you'll check out the band on tour, buy their latest release, Mourn the Southern Skies, and get into this iconic group so they jump past mythic status and into the realm of legend where they belong.

This is my conversation with the man himself, Kyle Thomas, from Exhorder, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

Today on the show, we not only dig into Tom's backstory, but more importantly, we get to chat about his new musical endeavors, and specifically his amazing new band, Athemon.

The new release from the band will find it's way to your phones, laptops, and living room as soon as you decide to buy it. The music that starts the show today is a sampling and something that I believe will resonate in the minds of our future youth as a touchstone of influence. I'd make a bet on it.

This is my interview with the legendary instrumentalist and producer, Tom MacLean, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

Time Codes:

1:25 The surprise of Adriano and Athemon
4:00 Putting the record together
6:20 The forced creativity of COVID
8:45 Going at each other to level up
12:00 Sitting around waiting for inspiration
16:30 Being done with Haken
19:10 The quirky bass player

28:30 Nobody has ever asked the story behind it all
32:40 Tom is not who we thought he was
37:00 Loved Helloween and Iron Maiden
40:40 Dream Theater is boring
45:00 Doing quiet session work
48:00 What is Athemon?
51:00 Tom's early childhood
54:10 Vai, Petrucci, and Jazz
------------------

Fun Facts:
Until 2013, Tom was the original bassist in Haken and guitarist in To-Mera. He believes he’s one of a very small group of people to have opened for Dream Theater in two different bands.

The album as a whole explained by the band:

Full of dark and enigmatic atmospheres, the self-titled record is a 50-minute concept album divided into nine songs, which tells a story about self-awareness. The instrumental consists of two guitars, a bass, and drums that together form an ideal atmosphere for those who enjoy a deeper journey. Self-Titled Athemon is a creative album that seeks to forge the perfect alloy of darkness and beauty.

Album Credits:
• All songs performed by: Athemon
• All songs written by: Athemon
• Produced by: Tom MacLean
• Mixed by: Tom MacLean @ Twelve Tone Studio

Alcatrazz has existed, in one form or another, for 35 years, and tomorrow, the band will release their 5th album, the appropriately titled 5 or V, if you're Roman.

By the grace of God, I was given the opportunity to chat with iconic frontman, Doogie White, the face and voice of this classic transatlantic metal wonder. Doogie was all the things I crave in a conversation. He was funny, witty, clearly appreciative of his role in the band, and above all kind. Yes, that's a big deal. Doogie is proof that being prepared for the moment should still require one to be grateful for this life as well.

Without saying anything else, let's get to it. This is Doogie White, the man with the soaring vocal range that crushes a 1000 ancient warriors. This is Alcatrazz, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

The band has created some timeless music and sprouted a few of the most famous instrumentalists in the history of rock music. They are a tower of achievement, existing in the space few musical acts dwell....
Alcatrazz has existed, in one form or another, for 35 years, and tomorrow, the band will release their 5th album, the appropriately titled 5 or V, if you're Roman.

By the grace of God, I was given the opportunity to chat with iconic frontman, Doogie White, the face and voice of this classic transatlantic metal wonder. Doogie was all the things I crave in a conversation. He was funny, witty, clearly appreciative of his role in the band, and above all kind. Yes, that's a big deal. Doogie is proof that being prepared for the moment should still require one to be grateful for this life as well.

Without saying anything else, let's get to it. This is Doogie White, the man with the soaring vocal range that crushes a 1000 ancient warriors. This is Alcatrazz, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

Time Codes:

2:00 Doogie White speaks
4:00 Loving voices and harmonies
7:00 Nobody sounds like Ozzy or Ronnie James Dio
9:40 Too young to die, too young to live
12:40 The alignment of the planets
15:30 Joe Stump can shred
19:25 The breed of familiarity
22:10 Fans of genres and rock music
25:40 How Doogie got the Alcatrazz gig
29:00 The happening that is the band
32:00 The new album, V
35:00 Being in Alcatrazz without meeting anyone
38:20 Not fooling around
41:00 Wacken
44:20 Hopeful to win over the naysayers
46:00 When Iron Maiden delivers the post

This is my super fun chat with the entire band, the very friendly Giant Walker, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

Time Codes:

1:20 The origination of Giant Walker
4:00 The North vs The South
6:00 The band lives together!
10:00 Weird responsibilities
13:00 Walked by a small child
17:00 The first ideas aren't always correct

45:00 Stone Temple Pilots and imperfection
49:00 Making sure everyone is happy
53:00 Hearing something special and new
57:00 The band is worthy

Per promotional material:

Giant Walker are a Heavy Progressive Rock band from Newcastle, UK. After individually relocating 300 miles to further develop their craft, the Geordie quartet was coincidentally born in the South, bound together by their northern heritage and a shared love for bands such as Karnivool, Soundgarden, Radiohead and Deftones. Written during the 2020 lockdown, their upcoming releases feature themes of self isolation and a dystopian reality. Their music captures the many lows of loneliness and tips a hat to the music that gets you through hard times; sweeping you up in a conceptual journey, from giant riffs to melancholic melodies, and ambient soundscapes. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Chris Coulter (Arcane Roots, Jamie Lenman) at the Ranch and Stakeout Studios, Giant Walker have stitched together a sound, woven from the fabric of their influences, that can't be found elsewhere.

A good buddy of mine knew perpetually upcoming music producer, Chris Collier and made the introduction. Why do I say perpetually upcoming? Because Chris is always upping his game. He won't rest on his accomplishments, and why would he stop now? He's at the top of his game, for now, but there's always another artistic mountain to climb, so most of us will keep watching from afar, wondering how he's done it.

If you actually listen to the entire show, you'll know the secret, which, in many ways, hasn't ever been a secret, but simply a way of being.

I highly suggest we all try to be a little more like Chris Collier and love what we do with an unrivaled zeal. This is my conversation with the man who's only limit seems to be where the oxygen stops. This is Chris Collier, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

Rohan was not only amazingly kind and professional, but he withstood my rambles, so i beg this of you as well. The new acoustic record and the new collaboration records are coming out in the near future. Rohan wasn't able to give specifics, but if you're listening to this show, you know his music is epic, cinematic, and just about as good as perfect gets. In other words, we are in for a treat. ....and if Dave Grohl or Tom Delonge is listening, you're dream collaboration awaits.

This week's interview with an absolute legend, Rohan Stevenson of I Built The Sky, was one where I fought tooth and nail to stay in the conversation. Not because Rohan...
Rohan was not only amazingly kind and professional, but he withstood my rambles, so i beg this of you as well. The new acoustic record and the new collaboration records are coming out in the near future. Rohan wasn't able to give specifics, but if you're listening to this show, you know his music is epic, cinematic, and just about as good as perfect gets. In other words, we are in for a treat. ....and if Dave Grohl or Tom Delonge is listening, you're dream collaboration awaits.

I will say nothing else, but encourage you to listen to this fun roaming conversation with an absolute guitar master, Rohan Stevenson from I built the Sky on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

If you listen to the radio, or love traditional pop music, there's an extremely good chance you have never heard of them or would even care to. However, if you're like me, and you're always looking around the corner to find the next thing, or if you're already listening to challenging mathematic metal and noise, well... Frontierer might the best thing you already love and understand.

My conversation with Pedram and Calum left me wanting more, and I hope this interview touches you the same way. I say it a lot, but I will tell you this one was pure joy. What a killer duo and what a sensation the band is. You must check out the new documentary entitled "A trail of Noise," and you should pay careful attention to the new music releases because they'll change your life, whether you want them to or not.

This is my interview with the groundbreaking... make that ground destroying Frontierer, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

I had the opportunity to connect with these kind guys as they are starting the promotional rollout for their major label debut on Sharp Tone Records. The new record, Lost Souls, drops on August 13th and I admit I'm pretty excited about it.

The guys were super cool, put up with all my fanboy action, and gave you, the listener, great insight into who they are, their writing process, and what it feels like when the record business comes crashing around them, both the good parts and not so good parts.

If I wasn't clear before, yeah... I'm definitely digging these guys. They take the best parts of their influences, and filter it through modern technology along with impeccably prepared arrangements to create lush soundscapes pierced by amazing vocals of the highest caliber. This is Caskets, complete and fully formed, ready to take on the world.

I promise you'll enjoy listening to this interview as much as I did doing it. This is my conversational flow with Matt Flood and Chris McIntosh from Caskets, the post hardcore promise of the future, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

I don't know if I've ever had a more intimate conversation and the honor was all mine. Vidi lives in Israel, and like life in that torn country, there is a great dissonance hidden inside. What sets Vidi apart is his ability to speak truth and meaning into every day trauma. This catharsis allows him to release the darkness within. For the fans of Subterranean Masquerade, the music provides and opportunity to join them on a musical journey as they celebrate our collective humanity.

I will say nothing more, but God bless Vidi. He's my buddy for life and his music will remain part of my days forever.

This is my heartfelt conversation with the singular Davidavi Dolev on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

So, here's the other part. We tried to do this interview a few different times, but no matter what we had connection issues. I decided it's best to just roll with what we have, so you'll have to excuse the edits in advance. Sometimes, God is just against you.

Tom and Seth have created a wild, dissonant EP of power and chaos. They've taken the very best parts of their influences and injected them into the very soul of the music. It's heavy, funny, wild, punchy, and downright hilarious in its over the top grandeur. It's everything and nothing all at the same time and the beauty of that is that's exactly what they were shooting for. You might not like it all, and that's perfect.

Me, I happen to love it. I love these guys. I really think we'll be friends for life. Just great souls hanging out on a show about nothing.

So, enjoy my wildly erratic conversation with my two new buddies, Tom and Seth from the metal powerhouse, Weston Super Maim, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

Tom and Seth from Weston Super Maim and yours truly has struck up an interesting new friendship, seemingly out of the blue. I can't tell you why, but these 2 guys are just what my heart and ears needed, when I probably didn't...
So, here's the other part. We tried to do this interview a few different times, but no matter what we had connection issues. I decided it's best to just roll with what we have, so you'll have to excuse the edits in advance. Sometimes, God is just against you.

Tom and Seth have created a wild, dissonant EP of power and chaos. They've taken the very best parts of their influences and injected them into the very soul of the music. It's heavy, funny, wild, punchy, and downright hilarious in its over the top grandeur. It's everything and nothing all at the same time and the beauty of that is that's exactly what they were shooting for. You might not like it all, and that's perfect.

Me, I happen to love it. I love these guys. I really think we'll be friends for life. Just great souls hanging out on a show about nothing.

So, enjoy my wildly erratic conversation with my two new buddies, Tom and Seth from the metal powerhouse, Weston Super Maim, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

So, why did Eric end up in Sweden, working with a plethora of different European artists and stepping into a radically different role as a quiet songwriter or a producer of these up and coming acts? Well, there's a story there. and we're going to get to the bottom of it.

Eric's new solo album, Bazilian, is available now and has some classic sounding tracks on it. After you listen to this show, I can't exaggerate enough that you should go and pick it up. It's a wonderful series of songs and a perfect snapshot of the world we now live in, good and bad.

This happened again recently with a Danish band called VOLA. This band writes incredibly thoughtful, engaging melodic songs with complex rhythms that speak to the drummer in me.

Having reached out via social media to connect with the band through their management, I was pleased to find that Adam Janzi, their drummer, was open and available for a chat to talk about the new album, Witness.

Witness is due out on May 21st, and at the time of this recording is still roughly 6 weeks away. I hope that you hear this show and realize that not only VOLA is worth cherishing, but that it's young drummer, Adam is a man with a destiny and purpose as a new classic.

Oliver's music has evolved tremendously over the years, weaving in and out of the dream pop space into dance, techno, house, industrial and ultimately some of the most lovely vibey music around.

His current projects, Animal Feelings, Fancy Feelings, and Jungle Feelings... (yes there are 3 different 'Feelings' projects) are wildly different and yet all of these projects have found ways to converge back on the strengths of his songwriting and approach to melody.

I'm so grateful that Oliver not only gave me the opportunity to speak to him and share his thoughts with you, but that he's become my friend over the last 5 years. He's a truly special human who loves our planet and has great hopes for the world and all the species that live within it.

This is my interview with the impeccable songwriter, Oliver Chang, on the Rockstar Superhero podcast.

Oliver's music...
Oliver's music has evolved tremendously over the years, weaving in and out of the dream pop space into dance, techno, house, industrial and ultimately some of the most lovely vibey music around.

His current projects, Animal Feelings, Fancy Feelings, and Jungle Feelings... (yes there are 3 different 'Feelings' projects) are wildly different and yet all of these projects have found ways to converge back on the strengths of his songwriting and approach to melody.

I'm so grateful that Oliver not only gave me the opportunity to speak to him and share his thoughts with you, but that he's become my friend over the last 5 years. He's a truly special human who loves our planet and has great hopes for the world and all the species that live within it.

This is my interview with the impeccable songwriter, Oliver Chang, on the Rockstar Superhero podcast.

I've been a fan since the early 2000's when Jon's old band, Threat Signal, made a serious splash on a website designed to help you discover the world's best talent. At the time, Threat Signal was riding the top of the metal charts at Garage band, and garnering attention from every heavy music media outlet in the world.

Who were these masters from Hamilton Ontario? Where did the come from and what musical sorcery was this?

Turns out, Jon and his band were just sort of winging it. Nobody in the band really knew what they had, but amazingly, they were heard by the right ears, and transported around the world, creating this mystery and weird legend that helped Jon fully form, sprout his less than angelic wings, and never fully place his feet on the ground again.

Our chat was utter madness and I had an amazing time... not gonna lie. That said, we still live in a world where the internet isn't our friend and occasionally we get audio lags and drop offs, so excuse us in advance.... however, most importantly, we have a righteous conversation and I got a new friend out of the deal.

If you didn't know Jon before, or if truly brutal heavy metal scares you, well... take another listen and consider that maybe, just maybe you've been missing out.

This is my interview with the voice of destruction, rage, and anger. Jon Howard, or Imonolith, on the Rockstar Superhero podcast.

Recently, I discovered an amazing new group from the UK, eager to fill the holes left behind by the great emo and hardcore bands that have come before it.

Who is this band, with the seemingly perfect mishmash of influences and genre defying characteristics boldness?

These are the UK upstarts, As Everything Unfolds.

After a few weeks of begging, I was able to snag an interview with songwriter and guitarist Adam Kerr. Adam is a great guy. He's kind, witty, and a great player with a real ear for catchy melodies and chugging riffage. Basically, he's how you want your child to grow up.

Adam and I spent an hour together, really just enjoying a casual conversation about shared musical influences and experiences.

My only gripe comes from the fact that no matter what we did, we constantly dealt with an internet audio pipeline that glitched as often as possible and dropped or hiccupped constantly.... but hey... what'cha gonna do? My apologies....

All said, we hope you enjoy this interview with another future classic.... Mr. Adam Kerr from As Everything Unfolds, on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

Geirmund Hansen is one such person.

I fell in love with his voice a few years back when I discovered his immense band, Rendezvous Point, through another musical interest of mine, the Norwegian progressive powerhouse, Leprous. As is often the case anymore, musicians find different projects to be a part of and Baard Kolstad, who drums for Leprous, also has his hands deep in the pockets of Rendezvous Point, his "first love."

This sort of accident found its way into my musical heart where it has taken up residence and refuses to be evicted.

I love Rendezvous Point. To me, they are a perfect band of musicians. 5 incredibly gifted players who have figured out a unique sound and musical counterpoint that slips across musical genres into something stunningly unique. My new friend, Geirmund, is the voice and the soul behind that secret concoction.

I will say nothing more, but I encourage you to listen to the entire hour, because our conversation builds to a conclusion that I didn't see coming. After this show, I think you'll agree.... Geirmund is special. Very special.

This is my interview with the guaranteed future classic, Geirmund Hansen on the Rockstar Superhero Podcast.

36:05 Performing as headliners
39:40 Doing the Voice in Norway
43:00 Nobody in North America knows what Eurovision really is
48:30 Adrenaline is the vocalist's best friend

1:05:50 Using the superpower to impact others
1:10:40 Cross cultural and spiritual connections
1:14:30 What are others feeling and how can you serve that?
1:17:50 All the nice words

I will say nothing more, but I encourage you to listen to the entire hour, because our conversation builds to a conclusion that I didn't see coming. After this show, I think you'll agree.... Geirmund is special. Very special.

Rodney was the normal American male. Living in central Texas with his family, Rodney received a terrifying medical diagnosis that didn't just change his life, but many around him. In the following year, Rodney stepped closer to death and lost so much of what made him typically human. As time went by, things seemed to accelerate, and Rodney was placed on a donor receipt list just in case a miracle happened.

In January of 2020, a miracle did indeed happen. The problem is another family had to lose a loved one for Rodney to live.

....and this is where our story begins. Please join us for this emotional and frank conversation as we break down what it means to be receive life from another, the survivor guilt that comes with it, and the power of redemption through the family that lost their son so Rodney might live.

This is my conversation with Rodney Shurelds on the Rockstar Radicals podcast.

3:35 The Chain Reaction
5:40 Managing body changes

I should be very clear that this particular episode is literally the opposite of anything remotely politically correct. You're going to have your sense of humor challenged along with your sense of morals. It's ugly, dirty, and somehow magically inspired.

Our guest, the fantastic comedian Craig Gass, has been on Howard Stern, Family Guy, King of Queens, Sex and the City and American Dad. He's roasted Gene Simmons on Gene Simmons' Family Jewels, and he's a massive music fan and pseudo closet metalhead.

To us, what's most special about Craig isn't his skills to impersonate (and you'll hear the story how that skill came to be) no matter how amazing they are. It's actually his tremendously kind heart and soul. He's a super great, very real guy, who just lives and spreads smiles, even if they're sometimes guilty, and that makes it a distinct honor to share this classic episode with him. I personally didn't say much because it was much more fun to sit there and revel in it, but needless to say, I hope you're entertained, even if you'll probably complain.

You know it's bad when some of your closest friends unfollow you on social media in a huff. Yes, it's that bad. So, for what it's worth.... enjoy this classic release from 2017 with my good friends, Craig Gass and Spike O'Neill.

I have been a Tubes fan and, subsequently, a massive Fee Waybill fan by default since I was old enough to understand their music and subversive nature. They were a cosmic force, built in the 60's and unleashed on the world in the 70's. They had it all.  Musicianship, showmanship, and crazy bonkers attitude. There was no stopping them.

Interviewing Fee was a dream and if I have anything to say about it, the dream will continue another day soon. For now, you'll have to be satisfied with what I got until I get more.

Between his career in modeling, to the many times he's shifted from soap opera to soap opera (being killed off, etc), he's created a mythos that's hard to overcome. Ian is intently focused on his work currently on The Bold and The Beautiful as well as his desire to support a few different charities benefiting education for the poor as well as a cancer foundation.  Ian is the real deal, and I'm just so happy to have met him.

I hope you'll enjoy as I stumble through the podcast and thankfully ended well.  That's really all I can say.

2:00 Ian in Scotland. Ford Modeling.
3:40 Came to States in the early 80's. Poetry and music.

Session guys rarely get the financial reward or the fame.  It's a bummer, but I'm trying to change it a little, in my own small way. It's time for you to meet Tom Erak. A tremendous talent on the bass guitar, Tom tore across the musical landscape in the 1970's and 80's.  

He's a stud on his axe and has played with the tops of the tops, on record and live in the studio. His son, Thomas Erak, has found fame as a guitarist for the mathcore band, Fall of Troy and is currently working with many amazing artists in his own right. 

Long story short, Thomas wouldn't exist as a person or a player without the legend of his father. Tom Erak is a friend, and I consider him family.

Since then, Jonathan has partnered up and continues to produce incredible new talent for the world to discover. Whether it's talking about stories of the recording experiences of 'Seattle sound' bands, or discussing the dynamics of being in a band, Jonathan has a voice of authority and experience. So, dig in because this podcast was particularly enjoyable to create. Oh yeah... Jonathan recorded my band in 1999 and hired me for a number of productions over the last 20 years as well, so I definitely lobby hard for the guy.

6:00 100hz shelf on my badboy mixer. The low cut.
6:54 Shure SM7, the classic radio microphone. So jealous. How Plum and I met. Swerve. Demos at London Bridge. Great bands implode.

19:50 Drum tones at London Bridge. Rick Parashar hired Jonathan.
22:35 Back in 1992 you had to record at a studio. No home demos.
23:30 Sweaty Nipples. Pride and Glory. Zakk Wylde. Not like in the LA studios.
28:20 Fighting Machinists. Interscope records. Seagrams. Brandi Carlile. Rick passed away.
30:00 Jonathan is the musical equivalent of Jimmy Fallon. He got his own SNL. 
31:00 Blind Melon. Shannon Hoon. Guns and Roses. "No Rain." Jonathan did the finger snaps.
33:50 Seattle movement. Starstruck. Nerves. Surreal to spend time with them.
36:00 London Bridge room. Secret ingredient is the Neve console.
41:00 Professional records. Labels don't front to small bands.
44:40 Jonathan and 2 partners buy London Bridge Studio. Robert Lang studios.
48:40 Staving off the inevitable. Is the studio world dead? The drum tones!! Natural resonance. 50:00 What's next with LBS? Difficulties of the current state of the industry.
55:45 Does Jonathan travel to other studios to produce?
56:00 Favorite records Jonathan loved doing. Blind Melon. Captain Howdy. RKNDY. Green Apple Quickstep. Love Battery. Love Brother Nine. Jonathan forgets who he's working with. Mary Lambert. Macklemore. Ethyl. Intangibles.
