In this quick Q&A we talk about Matt’s new “Metal MIDI Fusion” expansion pack, the gear he uses, the influences that’ve shaped him as a drummer, the pros of using e-kits and more.

Be the one to roll your eyes at the suggestion that there’s no good new shit out there. New releases from Abigail Williams, Amaranthe, Avatarium, Crown The Empire, Hooded Menace, Opeth, Ram, Satan’s Satyrs, Sofy Major, Whitechapel and a million more.

Born of Osiris share their collective favorite good-time party jams, most of which refreshingly have nothing to do with metal at all. In the quick Q&A that follows, we talk the brilliance of He Is Legend, the baddassery of Robyn and guitarist Lee McKinney’s moonwalk abilities.
