In this episode of TFTR, Moe has a marathon chat with the one and only Willie Gee. If you're not familiar with Willie Gee, let me just provide you with some quick bullet points: Legendary Guitar Tech who has been working for over 20 plus years in the music industry; he worked exclusively with SLAYER, MEGADETH, KING DIAMOND, among many others! Willie was gracious with his time and this conversation is packed to the gills with stories, gear, and more gear. Shout out to our great friend Ben Falgoust of Goatwhore for the alley oop for this episode! (THANKS KID!)

EPISODE 54 is a scorcher coming right out of Austin, Texas by way of Georgia. Moe is joined by the lead singer and founding member of Hellfury, Bobbie Kleman. Hellfury is a relentless and utterly brutal, yet fast paced full on thrash/punk act that played New Orleans in May. Bobbie was gracious with her time to discuss all things related to her band and how she got her start. We preview a small sample of what 99 pounds of dynamite can bring to the party. So sit back, grab a tasty beverage and enjoy.

In this episode of TFTR, Moe hosts not 1 but 2 extreme metal acts from both sides of the Atchafalaya. John and Corey from Baton Rouge's Glacial Coffin sit in with Thorn and Garrett from Lafayette's own Pale Misery. The two bands join us and discuss their upcoming split release that will be out July 1st. We also preview a track from each camp, so join us for a recording that was absolute chaos, and chocked full of fuckery that ran amuck.

Out from the swamps and bayous of Livingston Parish comes Mr. Jason Ogle. Jason joins Moe in studio to discuss all the kick ass shit that was born out of the early 1990s and 2000s (which was peak Louisiana extreme metal). Jason is a solid bass player in his own merit and he has also made a name for himself for recording local acts. Jason has no shortage of incredible stories from his days touring and running house sound in the greater Baton Rouge and New Orleans areas. Chill out with us and stay gnarly my friends.

In this episode, I am joined by Marius Vold of Oslo's Mortem. Marius was there in the beginning of Norwegian Black Metal. He gave me so much insight to what life was like in Oslo in the early 1990s. We had an inspiring chat about all things black metal. Marius' band Mortem is comprised of black metal heavyweights that include members of Arcturus, Mayhem, Thorns and 1349. Mortem is signed to Peaceville Records and their roster of musicians that round out the lineup is ridiculously loaded with immense talent.

In this episode, I shoot the proverbial shit with none other than the esteemed fine gentlemen in Green Gasoline. This quartet is based out of New Orleans and they bring an essential reminder that heavy rock is not dead. Nor will it ever die. Fans of Guns N Roses, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Trapeze, and SABBATH should tune in and ingest what these young purveyors of the mighty riff bring to the table. Green Gasoline, just like their name suggests is a good time on full blast with the brake pedal not even considered an option. I was fortunate to catch one of their live shows at Santos in the Quarter and it was an absolute (dare I say)...gas.

In this episode of TFTR, I am joined by Jorge Caicedo and Apollo Xydias of New Orleans' (Metairie), MIMIC. MIMIC is in a whole new breed of metal. They do not follow the same groundwork that has been cultivated in the New Orleans scene if you will. Highly progressive, very thrash like, and with all the intensity. The two gentlemen walk me through their creative process and we have a tremendous conversation in between. Fans of Cynic, Death's Human LP, and fusion should get excited. (I'm just sayin)
