None other than the legendary composer and multi-instrumentalist Toby Driver is the guest of Uncle Prog on this episode of the Progtalks. We explore his past with maudlin of the Well, his recent rediscovery of the European metal scene, his plethora of musical projects, and of course the new Kayo Dot album “Moss Grew on the Swords and Plowshares alike”. We also discuss the challenges of creating music that resides on the fringes of even more obscure subgenres and Drivers’ plans going forward for several of his projects, like Bloodmist, Alora Crucible and as a solo artist.
