We start the show be discussing how it feels being the last band to record in Colin Marston’s NYC studio, getting the album recorded in just five days this time around, and how they got Dave Lombardo and Tomas Haake on the album. We also discuss the influence of early cigarette advertisement on the album’s artwork, his thought on the modern day protocols when people “bum a cigarette”, how traveling is really important for personal knowledge and growth, the touring memories that stick after a decade, and the creative impact that the band’s choices of “cover songs” as singles has had over the years.
Petar and Brandon discuss Mastodon separating with Brent Hinds after 25 years and how we were shocked it didn’t happen sooner. We also discuss Courtney LaPlante’s pinpoint the problem with modern metalcore production, Ghost unveiling a billboard in front of a church on the Vegas strip, and Tobias Forge letting fans know that their cell phones won’t be allowed at their upcoming world tour.
