What can I say..Its been awhile since our last Podcast. Well, I moved and am building a new and better studio so things have taken their priorities.

This band, Casket Robbery, garnered my attention from the very first time I saw them...
An intelligent blend of death metal and horror, of which I am a fan, hit a nerve with me an I was intrigued from the get go. I had to learn more...

A lot has transpired since that first initial exposure. You'll hear the whole story in this episode.
You'll become a fan too. Cant wait for you all to get into it.
A lot more coming this year and couldn't be happier. Tune in to find out!!

This episode we sit down with a great creative musical mind we are all glad is now a part of the mid-west since relocating from southern Florida. ..Matt LaPlante.

Cutting his teeth on the hi-profile Miami, Fl studios , working in the "famous ones" we have all heard of (Lil Jon/Gibb) , and making a name for himself bringing names like #nonpoint to the scene - Matt LaPlante has absorbed decades of studio experience from the legends he has worked with.

I can't do it justice in a paragraph so you'll just have to listen to the episode :0...

I recently met Matt L. through our mutual friend, Thom Hazaert, who is the front man of #megadeth 's #davidellefson on his project #ellefson. Great dude and willing to share whatever he can..
Plus, has a versatile background and amazing ear for production and song writing.

Perfect guest and can't wait to do more with Matt!

Conversation with our friend Bachir Ramadan. Hailing from Beruit, Lebanon he is the  drummer of such bands as: The Weeping Willow, Nervecell, Innerguilt.

About 6 weeks ago there was a huge explosion in the port of Beruit which destroyed many city blocks. 300,000 people left without homes. Bachir was severely injured in the blast needing facial, neck, and hand surgeries. His story of that day is incredible and he surely is lucky to be alive.

Bachir is recovering and rehabilitating with a deep drive to return to the drums better than ever. A talented musician, check out his music, bands, and links below.
Wishing Bachir a speedy recovery!
