We finally got to nail down Blasko, one of the great ones. The manager of Black Veil Brides, Zakk Wylde and Goatwhore among others. He has also been the bassist for Ozzy Osbourne since 2003. The dude knows what's up. This is a deep dive into his work in the industry, and it's an interesting one.

TREMENDOUS honor to speak with Scotty Heath boss of Tankcrimes. I have immense respect and admiration for this man. He not only knows whats up, but he is able to drive huge chunks of the metal underground almost singlehandedly. It's rare to find someone with this level of passion for hwat he does keeping it DIY as fuck. You can't help but to love it.
