Welcome to HardLore.fm… Years in the making, we’re joined by longtime friend of the show Anthony Didio, vocalist of Vein and Fleshwater. We learn about his introduction to music, and how finding The Carrier early on lead to cutting his teeth at Anchor’s Up in the Merrimack Valley.

We discover his evolution as a musician: starting Vein, making the landmark instant classic “Errorzone” and their mature follow up “This World is Going to Ruin You,” and ending suddenly shortly after upon the meteoric rise of Fleshwater immediately after their breakout debut LP “We’re Not Here to Be Loved”

Now fresh off a tour with Deftones, their enormously ambitious sophomore LP “2000: In Search of the Endless Sky” and their biggest headlining tour ever, Anthony finally joins us for a long awaited (from us and from you) in-person sit down interview. Enjoy.
