  • Neon Blood Fire with Matias and Marcus of LAMORI
    Jul 14 2023

    In this episode of The Rock Metal Podcast, we're chatting with Matias Juselius and Marcus Pellas of the band Lamori about their new album ‘Neon Blood Fire’ out now via Wormholedeath Records.


    During our chat we touch on a lot of great tips for musicians, such as what Matias and Marcus learned trying new things to get a heavier sound on their latest record.


    'Neon Blood Fire' was Produced, Mixed, Mastered by Jonathan Mazzeo at The Grid Productions Europe (https://www.thegrideurope.com/).


    The band Words That Burn is for fans of: The 69 Eyes, Lacrimas Profundere, Entwine, Charon, For My Pain…


    Heavy Hitters from today's episode:


    1. Try new things in the studio and in the songs to spice things up.


    2. Work with a producer who also plays the instruments so they know how each instrument works, sounds, behaves, and what defines its purpose in the music


    3. Work with a team that you know, and who loves and supports your work. Together the team vibe produces something greater than what could've been without the support.

    Jul 7 2023

    In this episode of The Rock Metal Podcast, we're chatting with Devin Townsend about his new album 'Lightwork' out now via Century Media Records, as well as the Dreamsonic Tour 2023 with Dream Theater, Animals as Leaders, and Devin Townsend.


    During our chat we touch on a lot of great tips for musicians, such as what Devin learned working with producer, Garth Richardson and more information about the Dreamsonic Tour 2023.


    'Lightwork' was Produced by Garth Richardson, Mastered by Troy Glessner

    Heavy Hitters from today's episode:


    1. Try working with a producer if you haven’t in the past, as it can help to filter some ideas in forcing you to listen to someone else.


    2. Know the kind of person you are, and therefore the kind of people to have around you to ensure a right fit for the team. A good team goes places further.


    3. Document moments in your life as accurately as possible. People will resonate with the art that you create as a result.

    In this episode of The Rock Metal Podcast, we're chatting with Jyrki 69 of the band The 69 Eyes about their new album ‘Death of Darkness’ out now via Atomic Fire Records (Valila music House in Finland).


    During our chat we touch on a lot of great tips for musicians, such as what Jyrki 69 has learned working with some new producers, releasing singles instead of albums and working in a totally new way to produce great music.

    Heavy Hitters from today's episode:


    1. Try new ways to approach the creative process, such as working on singles instead of an album, getting feedback with each release


    2. Bring in producers from other genres to help bring fresh ideas.


    3. If you're used to recording tracks separately, try playing together as a band live off the floor to get a sound that's closer to you as a group of musicians.
