Gaerea on The MetalSucks Podcast #547

Gaerea are gearing up to make a major announcement and we are excited to be a part of it! On this week’s episode of The MetalSucks Podcast, we have an interview with Gaerea to discuss the band’s next chapter, the release of their latest single “World Ablaze,” and how it was liberating to put that song out into the world. We also chat about the process that went into finding an identity in the heavy metal world and fighting to make sure it’s not a toxic environment. Gaerea is nearing its 10th anniversary as a band, so the conversation took a bit of an introspective turn as we discuss how they want to continue making art, how they wish they can have the artistic talent of drawing, and how they’re being more comfortable with the idea of letting some of the mystique of Gaerea slide so they can connect with fans at live shows.

Petar and Sylvia discuss Serj Tankian’s indifference if System Of A Down continues without him, Armored Saint vocalist John Bush giving Metallica praise for taking chances in their career, Nikki Sixx responding to criticism over Motlëy Crüe’s single “Dogs of War”, and Oxbow breaking up in a way that just plain sucks.
