Ivancast Podcast - The first multilingual podcast of Ecuador recorded in the Amazonian rainforest. The subject in episode 4 is Mary & The Highwalkers, a cool band from Warsaw, Poland that serves an original mix of sludge, stoner and black metal. They describe themselves as Blackened Sludge. A quartet in the classic composition of guitar, bass and drums + a intense and frightening female vocal straight from Russia. I talked with Piotr (drums) and Mateusz (bass) about the music scene in Poland, discuss some technical aspects of their equipment & gear that allow them to create and deliver their distinctive deep, dark intense sound among many other cool stories. We had a blast! Enjoy this nice conversation with these two awesome gentleman from Poland and check out their music here: Bandcamp
