    We Heard Horror Stories About You: Stephen Sarro (Tantrum of the Muse, UnTeachers)

    One more to cap off the year. Mason and Roland got to sit down with Stephen Sarro of Tantrum of the Muse and UnTeachers back in October and it's just now coming out! It's been that kind of a year. But nevertheless, the conversation is an enjoyable one, where Stephen discusses the controversy of Tantrum of the Muse, the difficulty of starting UnTeachers, and every little antic of his in between. He also mentions their new album is being worked out, so stay tuned for that!

    Tech Talk Ep. 1: Logan Thompson (Symphony of Heaven, Elgibbor, Koronatizor, etc.)

    This week, Mason and Roland started a new experimental series for the podcast called "TechTalk", where musicians and artists come on the show and discuss the techniques and technology they use to do what they do. Gear talk is a constant in musician circles and this is a quick and easy way to hear about it from peers and people we're fans of. A shorter episode than normal, but some new ones are coming soon. Promise.

    This week, Mason spoke to Rob Volkoff of Aseity, I Prayed For An Afterlife, and most recently Life Renewed.

    BONUS: Two Truths and a Lie

    This week, Roland and Mason play a game. They came up with a fake band name and included them in a list with two existing bands. No music from the bands mentioned will be included in case you want to play along. Hopefully, you do. However, we included bands in a similar genre to each one. Following the game, the two also cover the most absurd band names that exist, according to Rolling Stone. All links below!

    The Drunk Nun: Why We Left...

    Roland and Mason are back after several weeks of relaxation in paradise (or so they would have you think). To return, they talk new releases, review new releases, talk about shows returning, tours, why Indiana has a poor-to-nonexistent music scene, and finally, a recent controversy that has occurred lately in the metal scene.
