My guest on the podcast this week is Chris Motionless of Motionless In White.

THE AMITY AFFLICTION - NEW VOCALIST, LOVE, LOSS AND MENTAL HEALTH

My guests on the podcast this week are Jonny Reeves and Joel Birch, both vocalists of Australian metalcore band The Amity Affliction.

GUILT TRIP x MALEVOLENCE: From Underground to Global. BOTH Vocalists Tell All.

My guests on the podcast this week are Alex Taylor of Malevolence and Jay Valentine of Guilt Trip. We didn’t have enough time to do both bands, so given their history together as UK’s metal and hardcore siblings, I thought I’d grab them both at once. We talked about both bands’ efforts to bring their unique sounds to the USA and the culture shocks that come with it, as well as their similarities, differences, and respect (or lack thereof) for each other.
