Elize Ryd of Amaranthe is our guest this week! We discuss the band’s upcoming album, Manifest (October 2), how the mental reality of the pandemic affected the recording of the record, the importance of making a fun and positive record during this time, and the story behind the guest artists on the album. Elize also tells us about why creating music videos is still one of her favorite parts of being a musician, her desire to put out a live DVD/Blu-ray, how she feels that fan-filmed YouTube videos of bands performing live don’t portray a fair representation of the artists, and the love her metal friends around the world share on a daily basis through these times.

Petar, Brandon and Sylvia once again talk about the negative nonsense going on in the Fear Factory camp, our thoughts on whether the GoFundMe campaign is a scam, and Richard Patrick getting the snub for Nine Inch Nail’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction despite his membership during a very important time for the band.

Songs: Amaranthe – “Strong” (Featuring Noora Louhimo from Battle Beast) and “Viral,” Ihsahn – “Spectre At The Feast”
