Tanya Elizabeth and Eddie DeCesare are benevolent souls: Kind people who give of their time and opinions and whom I am immensely impressed with as musicians and people.
Monochromatic Black isn't just another 'female fronted' metal band. To be honest, I really don't like that Monochromatic Black is oftentimes compared to Jinjer or Arch Enemy, simply because both bands have women as front persons.

Let's get to the man of the hour, Michel Teyssier of Fields of Naecluda!
Today on the show, we are digging deeper into the music I love the most. Today's featured artist (and his band) is a French progressive rock band that brings some of the most incredible and delicate music I've heard in quite some time. Now, when I say delicate, I don't mean soft. I mean musical choices where the ideas are there and the band, through compress...

This band, BornBroken, is kind of everything for me.
They are heavy, brutal, tight, incredibly well recorded, and everything is well written. Let's be honest... they are all the things.
Today, I'm fortunate enough to have on the original of originals: The man behind the legacy of the band, Michael Decker.

Blake Fleming has kind of done it all. When I sent my prescreen questions, Blake said he's an open book. Granted, most say this, but I get the sneaking suspicion that Blake is telling it 100% like it is.
He's been a part of some of the biggest bands in the world including Dazzling Killmen and Mars Volta. He's worked with Sean Lennon and so many others like The Ropes, Kim Taylor, Israel Nash, and the Lemonheads. He's lived that li...

Acacia Ridge is a band that I've grown quite fond of over the last year, and I finally have a chance to interview someone in the band to give me the clarity I seek.... about the band's mission, purpose and future hopes.
Anson and Christian are founding members... love when bands introduce classical instruments to create a new soundscape. Reminds me of my first experiences with Kansas, which changed the musical landscape for me.

Joey Callahan is a working comedian and geniunely one of the funniest I've heard in a long time. I love his style and wit and his old school approach and delivery. To me, he's a Carson's comic and I hope that's okay to say.
I am not a fan of comparing anyone to anything but I think it's an honorable connection to say that his styleeminds me of the best classic comedians of old, particularly David Brenner and Rich Little. I don't t...

My guest today is Connor Blackwood, the front man for Alchemize.
This band does things really well and, as you know, music like this is the reason I do the show to begin with. People need to hear when bands tie genres together, because great things happen. The rest is the discovery process.
That's what we're doing today. Discovering Connor and his awesome band, Alchemize.

Today, my guest is someone I admire for his talents as a musical phenom.
Hailing from the Chicago area, or at least the band does, Michael Bala of Necronomicon Ex Mortis is the kind of guy I really enjoy talking to. He's a serious talent, and his voice deserves to be amplified.

Ahhh.... Dory Loup of the fantastic French punk band, Mirabelle.
Oh my goodness, do I love this band.... They bring the best parts of the late 90s and early 2000s to the forefront. Their latest releases floored me, especially a song that I believe will break them fully around the world... the singular hit "All My Friends." What a bliss filled, and absolutely fun ditty.

Axamenta.
The band is back after a long winter's nap. Axamenta formed in 1993.... that's 31 years, people. I can't lie and say I've been a fan since then because I didn't know an ounce about them until recently when their PR company sent me a copy of their 23 minute EP. Insta Fan!

Dima Afanasyev of the Ukrainian superband, Sinoptik.
What can I say that I haven't mentioned a million times before online in various ways? I love Dima. He's pure. He's kind. He's an amazing musician. A genius in so many ways. His music is legend in Ukraine and his stature is assured.

Here's one of those things that escapes all of us.
Sometimes, we find out about a person way later than we feel we should have. It's odd to be so active in the business of music and discover artists that have been changing the ground under our feet yet were keenly unaware of until recently.

To me, the frustration of being a music fan, and specifically a metal or progressive music fan is that the vast majority of music comes from other countries and has to be sought out. Some of the biggest bands in the world are those that Americans may never know about, or very little certainly.
