Now that the Young Guns tour has kicked off with Mammoth WVH and Dirty Honey. Now after having Wolfgang on last week our old friend Marc Labelle lead singer of Dirty Honey joins us. It's rock and roll and it's all about rock and roll, songs, songwriting, touring, live sound, and covering Prince songs. Oh and hockey, lots of hockey.

The name Van Halen and rock and roll go hand in hand. Wolfgang is continuing to prove that. With the self-titled release, Mammoth WVH is a piece of just sold hard rock with great songwriting. Featuring number one singles with one of those songs being a dedication to his dad Eddie, Mammoth WVH has definitely gotten people's attention. The album was 100% recorded by Wolfgang and has put together a killer live band to go out on tour. Next up is the Young Guns Tour with Dirty Honey.

Bad Omens are getting set to release their 3rd album 'Death of Peace of Mind' on February 25th. The music has grown and has been turned a little on its side since their first album in 2016. Lead singer and principal songwriter for Bad Omens Noah Sebastian joins us to talk about this music and why. Oh and why did he cut his long hair off?

Briton Bond and Cody Quistad of the metalcore band Wage War join us from their tour bus just before wrapping up their mostly sold out with Falling in Reverse. The story of Wage War follows the path of a band that has earned the respect of everyone in the scene and then rises up the ranks. Proving they aren't just pure brute and might Wage War have toyed with a more mainstream sound in the past, but now for whatever reason, their fourth album 'Manic' has put them over the top.

You know Mike Protich as the lead singer of Red Sun Rising. Right before the pandemic had hit Mike along with Pat and Dave from Red Sun decided to start over as a three-piece band and do things a bit differently. They called themselves The Violent and while they have five songs out digitally now, they are ready to unleash themselves onto the world. To do that The Violent have put out a daring cover of the song "People Are Strange" by The Doors and they nailed it. It's time to catch up with our old friend Mike Protich.

Who would have thought that Falling in Reverse would have had the biggest rock song in the world of the past few years? Yet here we are, Ronnie Radke and company did it. Falling in Reverse in 2019 released "Popular Monster" and while they had already had a big and hardcore fanbase, that song put them on top of the rock world. 3 years and a pandemic later they have released a new song called "Zombified" to rave reviews. It is with great pleasure I welcome to the Rockcast, Ronnie Radke.

Kevin and his son Kane have become two of the most sought-after producers in modern rock. From Five Finger Death Punch to Ozzy, their list of credits is long. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to listen to rock radio in the 21st century, (or a playlist) and not hear songs produced by one or both of the Churkos. Take the album 'Immortalized' by Disturbed for example. That album has the band's biggest hit ever, guess who produced it? That's right, the Churkos did. After giving the band DED their biggest hit to date with "Kill Beautiful Things," their next project has just hit. It's the new album 'Dominion' by Skillet. Up next will be the latest effort from Five Finger Death Punch. I have been looking forward to talking to these two for a long time and I'm so happy we finally made it happen.

Trivium have just released their tenth studio album, another metal powerhouse called 'In The Court of the Dragon' So Matt and I dissect songwriting in this episode, plus how they are able to get so intense so quickly. Oh and if you didn't know Matt has become an extremely popular Twitch streamer so get into that as well. In fact he was streaming this interview as it happened. Oh and as if that wasn't enough, he performs a new song live!!

Of Mice & Men just put out their 7th studio album entitled 'Echo.' The album itself is made up of 3 different E.P.s all put out during the pandemic. Add a few more songs and they had a ready-made album. An album made during a pandemic and done 100 percent remotely. Oh, and parts of it were made while live-streaming on Twitch. Yeah, we thought that was pretty cool too, which is why it's high time to get heavy and talk some metal.

Fun Fact: After all these years I've never spoken to Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria in an official forum before.

Now we get to find out for sure they are definitely more than just that "comic book band." The stories told within this incredible music though should not be downplayed and with a new album on the way 2022 is looking solid for Coheed and Cambria.
