Coen Janssen of Epica & I have a conversation about how he coped with his time off, his 1st beers, the soundtrack of his youth, his 1st shows, "The Alchemy Project", making piano cool, Montreal, mental health and his hangover cure.

Throughout this chat, Coen drank Trou du Diable's "MacTavish" the 5% American Pale Ale while I enjoyed their "Les Quatre Surfeurs de l'Apocalypso" the 6.5% White IPA.

This is a Heavy Montreal presents Vox&Hops episode! Heavy Montreal is Montreal's premier metal promoter. They host one of North America's best Metal Festivals & present countless amazing events during the rest of the year. I am truly honored & extremely excited to have them involved in the podcast.

Make sure to check out Vox&Hops' Brewtal Awakenings Playlist which has been curated by the Metal Architect Jerry Monk himself on either Spotify or Apple Music. This playlist is packed with all the freshest, sickest & most extreme albums each week!!!

This episode was recorded at Place Bell in Laval, Québec, Canada.
