My guest this week is Andrew Mikhail of the band Serpents, formerly of Oceano.

We get into what it was like for Andrew to grow up as a middle eastern kid who was discovering metal and teaching himself to play guitar, as well as discussing if being self taught has helped or hindered Andrew's career as a guitarist.

Andrew opens up about his time in Oceano and what lead to him deciding to leave the band, and if there is any potential for a 10 year anniversary tour of Oceano's debut "Depths" in store for next year.

Andrew and I also get into the new Serpents album, Temet Nosce", and what inspired the concept of the album, and how he went about writing it and so much more.

Intro Track: "Ambition" and "Chin Up's" by Chae Hawk
