  • The Heavyist #234 Foreign Hands / Zan from Moru
    After the standard introductory nonsense including Gary complaining about sleep deprivation (again) and Sonny FINALLY getting on the Big Ass Truck with everyone we get into the review of the week.
    We have to eat some pretty substantial quantities of humble pie when we discuss the fantastic debut record from metalcore upstarts Foreign Hands
    then we are joined by Zan Greene from Nashville progressive death metalcore band Moru to talk about their insanely good new record, we get into the writing process, why it took so bloody long to come out, the frankly amazing concept of the record and what the band has in store for the future, as well as his inside track on the bands to watch coming out of the Nashville scene
    We've been chatting with Zan a LONG time so it was really nice to finally get him on the show and get into some discussions with him!
    AOR also this week comes from Awake the Secrets, Apes and Mirar
