Evoken Talk New Album "Mendacium"

Heroek talks to Vince from Evoken about their upcoming album "Mendacium," out October 17th, going through many lineup changes in the band's decades-long career, building a global fanbase, the success of their song "Valorous Consternation," and more!

Sorry for the poor audio quality in this one. Some technical difficulties led to me needing to use my backup audio instead of the mic audio.
