Logan Olivero

Central Texas may seem like an unlikely spawning ground for a symphonic black metal band, but long-running Vesperian Sorrow is turning the tide. Singer Logan Olivero joins us to discuss latest album, “Awaken the Greylight,” his wide-ranging vocal influences, his proud affiliation with “the worst band in the world” (Complete, look ‘em up!) and the time his Texas hospitality “backfired” on Polish metal band, Vader.

Mr. Lifto

Using pierced body parts to lift heavy objects is a huge “no thanks!” for most people -- but Mr. Lifto isn’t most people! He joins us to discuss (disgust?) touring with Lollapalooza as part of the Jim Rose Circus; shenanigans with Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Ministry and others; the “Circus of the Scars” documentary; shocking the talk show circuit; painful injuries; “bile beer;” and the time David Bowie made him wet his pants.

Jeremy Asbrock

He plays guitar for Ace Frehley AND Gene Simmons in their respective solo bands -- obviously quite the rocket ride for any lifelong KISS fan. Jeremy Asbrock joins us to discuss his band Rock City Machine Co., touring with his childhood idols (and the songs they wouldn’t play), his favorite KISS deep cuts, jamming with Robin Zander and how he was secretly “ripped” during Ace Frehley’s “Cherry Medicine” video.

Steve Conte

If you only know Steve Conte for his top-shelf work in the Michael Monroe band, you’re missing the bigger picture of his wildly impressive career. The singer/songwriter/guitarist joins us to discuss his latest album, “The Concrete Jangle,” his years with the New York Dolls, that time he jammed with Chuck Berry, his ongoing hot streak with Michael Monroe and so much more. The guy just oozes rock’n’roll.

Chuck Billy

He’s an undisputed titan of thrash who shows no signs of surrender after 40 years in the pit. Testament vocalist Chuck Billy joins us to discuss the remastered versions of “The Legacy” and “The New Order,” the upcoming Klash of the Titans tour with Kreator and Possessed, new drummer Chris Dovas, the band that changed his life, memories of the 2008 Metal Masters Tour and the hilarious pranks of Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell.

Bobby Landgraf

He works for Pantera as Rex Brown’s bass tech and tours the world’s biggest arenas and stadiums delivering the band’s crushing sonic onslaught. He’s also documenting all the behind-the-scenes footage on his popular “Crew From Hell 2.0” YouTube channel. Bobby Landgraf joins us to discuss the logistical magnitude of opening stadium shows for Metallica, headlining arenas and sheds with Pantera, his history with metal supergroup Down, that time he stepped in on bass for an ailing Rex Brown in front of 60,000 people (or more?) and why nothing short of skilled professionalism will cut it in the big leagues.

Carl Canedy

From his drumming with veteran New York metal band, The Rods, through his production credits with Anthrax, Overkill, Exciter and others, Carl Canedy has enough stories to fill a book. So, he did! He joins us to discuss his new book, “Tales of a Wild Dog,” The Rods’ new album, “Rattle the Cage,” his early band, Raw Meat, a “Spinal Tap” moment with Judas Priest and a memorable backstage meeting with Randy Rhoads.

John Corabi

He’s back with The Dead Daisies and gearing up for a summer tour to promote the September release of new album, “Light ‘Em Up.” John Corabi joins us to discuss all things Daisies, a memorable meeting with Steve Marriott (and Peter Frampton), partying with Queen and the 30th anniversary of his album with Motley Crue.

John Perez

Band names don’t come much gnarlier than Rotting Corpse, but guitarist John Perez had his reservations when it was bestowed upon his mid-80s Texas thrash crew. He later formed doom metal stalwarts Solitude Aeturnus and dabbled in psych metal with Liquid Sound Company. He joins us to discuss the early Texas thrash scene, touring with Paul Di’Anno, his record label, tour managing Candlemass, St. Vitus and others, and why Hell’s Heroes 2024 was the perfect gig.

Mike Deleon

His brutal guitar riffs power the death-metal gore of Flesh Hoarder, but he’s equally hooked on the bubble-gum glam of Poison. Our fellow Texan Mike Deleon joins us to discuss his collaborations with Philip Anselmo, Max Cavalera, Pantera, Billy Milano and an all-star cast of Bay Area thrash-metal titans.
