EPISODE 82 NECROMIRE

EPISODE 82 NECROMIRE

Back in the home studio with Louisiana’s own NECROMIRE. Necromire is a death metal band that includes musicians from different parts of the state. These guys have a unique blend of death metal that is equal parts of riff heavy chugs and carefully crafted melodic solo madness. I was able to catch one of their performances in Lafayette, LA and the gents of Necromire did not disappoint. We had a fun time over here at headquarters. In the conversation, we did our best to maintain our composure, but it was a damn madhouse. Enjoy our conversation, hear how they got started and stay for the laughs.

EPISODE 76 SOILENT GREEN / BRIAN PATTON

In this episode of TFTR, I am joined by none other than Mr. Brian Patton of Soilent Green, EYEHATEGOD, and Outlaw Order. If you follow the New Orleans metal scene, then you would know that Mr. Patton is synonymous with the insane amount of riffs that have been injected into the veins of the scene at large. Brian wrote an absurd amount of songs that rabid fans have long been playing on their stereos, phones, etc. This was an interview that I had been looking forward to for a long time. Brian was gracious enough to lend me his time just before he took the stage at Southport Music Hall in New Orleans for what would be an incredible performance by Soilent Green. Kick it with us and hear the words straight from the Man himself.
