Escape the Fate's new album 'Chemical Warfare' is out now and it really continues the sound of their last album. The album though features a couple collaborations with one of them being with Lindsey Stirling. Yes the incredible violinist is featured on their new hit song "Invincible." Plus did you know that Thrasher worked on the latest Machine Gun Kelly album? Well let's dig in with Kevin Thrasher on the Rockcast.

One of the most legendary rock bands in history is the band Blue Oyster Cult. With their slogan of "On Tour Forever" of course they'd be one of the first bands we'd get to see live post pandemic. Oh and let's not forget there's that whole SNL skit about needing more cowbell, (and yes we talked at length about it.) Plus they put out a new album in 2020 that's full of classic BOC riffs and harmony's. It is an absolute honor to have on the Rockcast lead singer, Eric Bloom.

Joe Principe is the bassist and one of the founding members of the long running Chicago punk band Rise Against. A band that have become a household name for anyone who is a fan of rock music. They just announced their new album 'Nowhere Generation' due out on June 4th. We also talk about how they become comicized (made up word) for DC's Dark Nights: Metal comic book series. We also go a little down memory lane to the midwest punk scene of the 90's.

Let me first say that the new Chevelle album Niratias is absolutely incredible. The word is actually an acronym for "Nothing is real and this is a simulation." Seems pretty fitting for the times we're in. Pete and I discuss the album, the themes, the pandemic, the business and how much the business of music is not healthy for the artists.

The world of rock and rap have been colliding for years, but more and more artists are using the two styles together to create a musical style all their own. One of the newest artists to do that is Zero 9:36 and he's not apologizing for his rock roots, in fact he's embracing them. Let's meet him and find out what makes his music tic.

Just a good quick hit, fun time rock and roll conversation the legendary punk rock band The Offspring. Guitarist Kevin "Noodles" Wasserman and Bryan "Dexter" Holland join us via zoom from their studio where they've been putting the finishing touches on their new album 'Let The Bad Times Roll' The title track is out and now and the whole thing will be released on April 16th.

If you listened to this podcast or me on the radio by this point you probably know that Leigh and I truly are old friends. We did tend to get a little retrospective in this conversation, plus talk about our love of Football. Oh and Pop Evil have a new album coming out this spring, or so we hope.

Andy Biersack is the lead singer of the band Black Veil Brides. Over the past decade or so Black Veil Brides have amassed a giant hard core following and for good reason. Now with the release of the song "Scarlet Cross" they are poised to gain more followers. We find out about their new album and get the low down on the Amazon Prime show 'Paradise City' staring Andy and Asking Alexandria guitarist Ben Bruce.

You know Corey Taylor as the lead singer of Slipknot. Also as the lead singer of Stone Sour. Also has an accomplished author. Just cause now he's a solo artist too. Last fall he put out his debut solo album entitled 'CMFT' I think you can figure out what that stands for. Now it's time to get into it further with the one and only Corey Taylor.

PS...Kaytie is back for this one as well.

Listen, this conversation with Shaun Morgan of Seether involves religion, it involves mental health and drug addiction, it involves the subject of current world issues and of course we talk music too. I Cutter can honestly tell you that it's very rare that a recorded conversation in front of a microphone goes this deep. I have the utmost love and respect for this man. This conversation is filled with brutal honesty about subjects that are not always easy to talk about. This is worth your time.

Seether's 'Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum' is available everywhere now.
