Chapter 69: "What Didn't Kill John..." ...as read by John LaMacchia of Candiria

YES! John Lamacchia of the almighty and seemingly indestructable Candiria tells us his chapter of the story. "BeBop" tells us of his early band Dead Air and Ken's band Intrigue and how that jam session resulted in John's enterance into the Candiria fold. John Lamacchia tells us about Ken's perhaps 500 deep song vault, the famous accident that should've killed the entire band, literally watching 9/11, prescription drug addiction, his band Spylocopa, new Candiria album with Metal Blade, working with new members Dan and Julio and sleeping in a childs sleeping bag on a dog mattress. Like Candirias' amazing music , there is something in this chapter for everyone. Thanks for listening.

Chapter 68: "Do You Want To Play A Game?" ...as read by Erik Mendez (formerly of Tourniquet)

Here is the much anticipated follow-up to last weeks' show. Erik Mendez formerly of Christian metal powerhouse Tourniquet picks up with where we left off. We discuss a little more Ted, a few more stories and Erik and I step track by track through each song on Tourniquets' second LP "Psycho Surgery" and third LP "Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance". I am proud to close this chapter of the show. Erik was a biggie in a heavy-hitter band from my childhood. Thanks of listening.

I've also decided to release this entire video on the youtube channel. Check it out for extra footage and inappropriate behavior. https://youtu.be/CFdI0NnCJdI

Mark Garza of Embodyment/ The Famine (Part One)

Chapter 70: "Our Shit DID stink" ...as read by Mark Garza of Embodyment/ The Famine/ Constant Seas

Mark Garza discusses building Dominoes Pizzas, Roger Martinez and being an honest musician in the studio. In the process of this interview Mark feels the need to call some people out which results in this being a long one that gets split into two chapters. We get to the bottom of why Embodyment went through such drastic changes and Mark's troubling position with Kris. Mark explains why he isn't on board with Nick Nowells' beliefs but he respects that Nicks'...beliefs takes....balls.... to say the least. We take a refreshingly real book at the Christian scene and some eye raising contractual obligations. All in all, Mark still respects Living Sacrifice for keeping it real. This was so great and I'm proud to bring it to you, rough edges and all. Whatever. Get over it. "I'll just leave that right there..."
