    Episode 10: Through the Howling Infinite: An Interview with Bryan Bray (Gates, Cetacea)

    After a long holiday layoff we shake off the ring rust and get down to it with a long-overdue sit down with Bryan Bray.

And remember, sometimes the best revenge is to have a good day anyways. https://gatesdrone.bandcamp.com/music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GAnCV3U4HBM
