    12: Collapse by Design (Track-By-Track Analysis)

    After a much needed hiatus (what else is new?), I'm back with an episode I've wanted to record for a LONG time. After what feels like an eternity, on October 22nd, my band Sentinels released our debut full-length album 'Collapse by Design'. For those who don't know, when recording this album, I was tasked with handling the lyrical duties. So here, we go over the stories and perspectives behind the lyrics of the album, in depth. This is the most vulnerable I've ever been, writing and explaining the meanings behind these songs. Hope you enjoy and can look at this record from a new perspective.

    11: Adam De Micco (Lorna Shore)

    We’re back (again) baby & with Adam De Micco, guitarist of deathcore heavyweights Lorna Shore. Aside from the slight technical difficulties on my end during recording (which result in a rough hissing sound at one point, I apologize), this is probably one of my favorite episodes to date. Adam & I dive into his beginnings as a guitar player & his journey of becoming an incredible songwriter with Lorna Shore. We also discuss their new masterpiece of an EP, his most influential records and much more.

    What's this? A vocalist? Yes, and one of the best in the world of metalcore. JT is the vocalist for progressive metalcore band Erra and formerly the vocalist of Texas In July. JT and I discuss our involvement in a band we were once technically in together, our love for sci-fi/action films, standup comedy. Of course, we touch on his transition from TIJ to Erra, and their new self-titled record (spoiler alert: it's a banger if you haven't listened to it yet). This episode was also the first to be videoed, so if you're interested, go and watch on my Youtube channel!

    01: Pathogen

    Welcome to the very first episode of The Six Stroke Podcast! My guests this episode are Kenny, Connor, Christian, and Mark of the progressive metal band Pathogen. These guys are a new class and breed of the genre. They take everything you ever thought about "djenty" metal and turn it around on you with a take on it you weren't prepared for and didn't know you needed. We talk extensively about their formation, working with producer and mutual friend Aaron Chaparian, and their new debut album "Null Space". We also share plenty of laughs, get deep into the technical aspects of their music, and nerd out over some bands.
