HardLore is finally joined by the Tyrant himself: the living legend that is TODD JONES.

Now known as the vocalist/guitarist of NAILS, Todd also co-founded Terror, Sound & Fury festival, and played guitar in Carry On, Betrayed, Blacklisted and MUCH more.

We took a deep dive into Todd's journey from young straight edge kid in the 805, to founding Terror after Carry On, all the way through the entire expansive NAILS discography. A new generation of NAILS fans finally gets to see one of the most intense live bands in extreme music history, as they're back to touring extensively on their new album "Every Bridge Burning" on Nuclear Blast.

Thanks to Todd for joining us live at HardLore HQ for this instant classic episode, we hope you all enjoy it as much as we did.
