Carnifex’s Scott Ian Lewis on The MetalSucks Podcast #507

Carnifex vocalist Scott Ian Lewis is our guest this week! We discuss their latest album Necromanteum, if he revisits the back catalog on a regular basis, the album fan’s love that he isn’t sold on, the therapy of heavy music for the band and fans, the importance of looking for a deeper meaning in all art, if he feels fan’s are loyal to any streaming services, his thoughts on if film has lost the battle of being art, the honor code bands and fans have in the music industry not reflecting those that run it, companies with the most power continually running at a loss, and why unionizing the music industry may not be possible in modern times.

Petar and Brandon discuss the whirlwind of Chris McMahon getting let go by Thy Art Is Murder, how he found out he was no longer in the band, certain peers like Ronnie Radke taking sides with him, and our thoughts on how the split was handled.
