Danfonce Talks Metal

For my 69th episode of Danfonce Talks Metal, I brought on Phil Bozeman the vocalist of the heavy metal band WHITECHAPEL. This was my first time ever speaking to Phil. It was great to get to know him. We talked about how he got into metal music, doing vocals, how Whitechapel formed, and their upcoming new album "KIN"! Enjoy!All episodes are streamed LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/danfonce

I brought on Ricky Hoover, Taylor Adsit, & Cory Walker from the band Ov Sulfur for my 68th episode! You may know Ricky from his old band Suffokate. I used to be their bands agent back in the day when they were active. I am now working with Ricky's new band Ov Sulfur which has been great so far! I sat down with these guys to learn more about the band. They took off real fast and just released a new EP "Oblivion" which is sick! I hope you enjoy this episode! All episodes are streamed LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/danfonce

I have started up my live podcast again and I am stoked about it. I recently became partnered with Twitch as well which is where all of these episodes take place. Of course I would have some technical difficulties with the first episode back which was when we were playing the bands new music video for "Death Whistle". For some reason it would cut out the stream. I did finally figure out what was causing this error and I have it fixed now. So anyway, I edited this video so it did not have the music video in the beginning. David is a friend of mine and I have been working with SIGNS OF THE SWARM since early 2017. We talk about their new record, the new music video, and their tour coming up. I hope you enjoy!All episodes are streamed LIVE at Twitch.tv/danfonce

I had Frank Godla who is the co-owner of Metal Injection and the guy behind Slay At Home Fest as my guest. Aside from talking about how he got into metal music which was from his Father and his first show being Guns N Roses and how he got into drumming, we also spoke about the creation of Metal Injection and how he created Slay At Home Fest. Frank is one of the best dudes in the music industry, hands down! Enjoy this episode!

I was excited to have VCTMS and Cody Stewart of The Browning as my guests. VCTMS is in the studio right now with Cody recording something "mysterious" (?) that will come out in 2022. Anyway, we talked a bit about VCTMS history along with how Cody got in The Browning and started to record bands. I've never done an episode where the band was actually in the studio so this was a fun one to do.

I was very excited to have Brian Slagel the CEO of Metal Blade Records as a guest on my podcast. I have been a huge fan of Metal Blade since I was a teenager so to have Brian on as a guest was an honor. We talked about how he got into metal music, growing up in the Los Angeles scene, starting his own fanzine, putting out a compilation record which featured Metallica, Ratt, Avatar, & more, starting Metal Blade Records, and a ton more.

I brought on two of my friends whom I grew up with in Poughkeepsie, NY and they are Ryan 'Tuck' O'Leary of Fit For A King & FeaturedX and Jeff Menig of FeaturedX & The Masquerade music venue. We go into stories of shows we have been to growing up, put on together, how Tuck got into Fit For A King, the journey with FFAK, how they came up with the idea of FeaturedX, and also how Jeff got involved with working for The Masquerade in Atlanta. Both Tuck and Jeff drop a lot of knowledge in this episode that can help you and your band. I highly suggest you sit back and check this one out!

I sat down with Justin Fornof from the band Wristmeetrazor recently. They are one of my favorite up and coming "old school" metalcore bands right now. They are signed with Prosthetic Records and are releasing their 2nd full length on June 11th, 2021! Justin and I talked about his upbringing, how he got into metal, booking shows, and how Wristmeetrazor came to life. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode and getting to know more about him!All episodes are streamed LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/danfonceStop by for a future stream to check this out in a live setting!Everyone who attends it will be able to ask questions in the chat room!
