Jai That Aussie Metal Guy Interviews Priest-Mercury
Friday Apr 12, 2024
Friday Apr 12, 2024
Priest is currently finishing up on tour in the US with Julien K and September Mourning, while also gearing up for the release of their latest Synthwave epic in Dark Pulse which is due out May 31st via Label Blue Nine. I recently caught up with Mercury to talk about the latest singles "Just A Game" & "Burning Love", all things Priest, and the latest album Dark Pulse. Dark Pulse is Priest’s fourth studio album and is produced by Simon Söderberg (ex-Ghost). It’s a dark synth-pop album with rave elements and heavy industrial notes. Heavily inspired by cyberpunk and goth culture, it dives into the dark and seductive nightlife that can be found specifically in Berlin. Dark Pulse explores themes like alcohol addiction, surviving narcissism, forbidden love, etc. connected to a past flamboyant lifestyle that just won't let go. With a signature blend of eerie synthesizers and pulsating hardware, Priest delves deeper into the shadows of dystopia and human-machine symbiosis.Get ready for an electronic dance record with poisoned roots, catapulting you into feverish insanity and back! Priest is a synth band that creates music rooted in the vastness of electronic dreams. The goal of their multifaceted prophecy is to safely guide humanity to the next evolutionary step – the merging with machines. The occult techno-pop act from Sweden, containing ex-members from Ghost, will throw you into the neon lights of 80 ́s sci-fi mixed with gothic soundscapes. With several praised global tours and critically acclaimed releases like New Flesh and Body Machine, they’ve successfully generated an ever-growing fanbase worldwide. Priest has toured with bands like Nitzer Ebb, Die Krupps, Combichrist, Deathstars, and Front Line Assembly among others. Priest is also featured on Cleopatra Records tribute albums for Rammstein, Depeche Mode, and The Cure and has remixed tracks for Pure Obsessions & Red Nights, Aux Animaux, and Sjöblom For More Information Please Visit: Official Website: https://www.priestnexus.com/

Jai That Aussie Metal Guy & Forgotten Shrine
Wednesday Apr 10, 2024
Wednesday Apr 10, 2024
Folk metal ensemble Forgotten Shrine, comprised of Josh Alexander and Sofia Frasz (EXILED HOPE), have unveiled their first single "Where Shadows Lie" and I caught up with them to talk all about it and all things Forgotten Shrine. "'Where Shadows Lie' is about facing the forces of darkness head-on, even though it seems like the world is falling apart, and all of our heroes aren't who we had thought they were." Josh explains. He continues, "I wrote the main hook of 'Where Shadows Lie' when I was a teenager, and have played it on various instruments since then. It wasn't until the end of 2022 that I really started getting into music production and started working on WSL. At that time Amazon's Rings of Power was releasing, and I felt very passionate about the lack of a faithful adaptation the show was. I stopped working on it for a long time after the final episode released, and the end credit song coincidentally shared the title of the song I had already written and started recording."

Jai That Aussie Metal Guy Interviews Shred Rogers
Friday Apr 05, 2024
Friday Apr 05, 2024
I recently caught up with Shred Rogers who delivers a fast, fun, and family-friendly form of heavy metal and doing his best to put positivity into his music, with tracks like "I'm A Nut" "Baa Baa Black Sheep" & "Wheels On The Bus" this is a metal album you can enjoy with the junior metal heads in the family. We talked about his work with A Dark Halo and All Things Shred Rogers and the debut album "The Circle" which was released today.
About SHRED ROGERS: Based out of Three Rivers, MI, SHRED ROGERS emerged as an idea when Christopher began to foster and subsequently adopt his three children. Christopher has been a musician most of his life playing heavy metal of various types, with his most successful endeavor to date being co-founding A DARK HALO with Dave Lowmiller around 2004. When A DARK HALO was on hiatus from 2006 to around 2018, Christopher sought to write new heavy music. This time, creating something fun and family-friendly, but retaining the heaviness of music he loves and is inspired by. 2016 saw the release of the demo “Wheels On The Bus” under the moniker DADDY DEATH METAL and to date this demo video has racked up 56K views. 2018 brought the return of A DARK HALO and Christopher constructed his own home recording studio. Deciding to take his solo project further, it was rebranded as SHRED ROGERS with a focus on producing family-friendly metal across multi-media forms including music, video content, and comic books. Musically, SHRED ROGERS draws influence from the likes of METALLICA, DEVIN TOWNSEND, DIMMU BORGIR, and DREAM THEATER.
"To Achieve your Dreams, Wear your Heart on your Sleeve, Do your Best and Be Brave…The SHRED ROGERS Way!"

The Bloody Legends With Eddie Trager
Friday Mar 29, 2024
Friday Mar 29, 2024
On this episode of The Bloody Legends, we catch up with Eddie Trager to talk all about his solo progressive project Take & Take and the debut album "Disillusion" which was released on the 22nd of March 2024, we also discuss the various other bands that he is involved with Last Leg, Eddie Spaghetti And The Selfish Bitches and The Wailing Coast. Meet Eddie Trager, a versatile artist whose musical journey spans a spectrum of roles and genres: Formerly a rhythmic force as the drummer and percussionist for Nekrogoblikon from 2007 to 2016, Eddie contributed not only his drumming skills but also his talents on xylophone, glockenspiel, marimba, and earned credits as a songwriter. Currently, he is making waves as the drummer for the new punk/hardcore band, Last Leg, as well as handling production and mixing duties for their debut EP. Additionally, Eddie showcases his guitar prowess with The Wailing Coast, a rock band based in China, where he intricately weaves melodies into their sonic landscape. As the leader of Eddie Spaghetti and the Selfish Bitches, Eddie brings an absurd sensibility to modern music. Moreover, his collaborative efforts with Emo/Shoegaze/chamber music artist A Lady Named Isaac add another layer to his diverse musical portfolio. Eddie Trager's journey with Take & Take began in 2016, during his travels through Colombia. The song forms coalesced during live demo sessions in the midst of the 2020 lockdown in Xiamen, China. Take & Take is the sound of personal struggle and awakening, of greed and gain, of telling lies and being lied to, of deep disappointment and personal loss, the rise of ego and the inevitable fall. It's a poetic testament to the transformative power of heavy music, inviting those who truly listen to join the experience. Take & Take isn't just music; it's an immersive journey through the complexities of the human experience—raw, unapologetic, and undeniably powerful.
