#540 - Brooks Wilson and Steve Jansson (Crypt Sermon)

This week we are putting a spotlight on one of the more interesting
releases so far this year, Crypt Sermon's latest The Stygian Rose,
which will release on June 14. To that end, we got Brooks Wilson
and Steve Jansson on the show to talk about everything from getting
into the studio in 2022 to finally being done with it and ready for
release. We'll chat about the pros and cons of going into the
studio prepared, how doing that helped capture their sound, and how
Brooks created the cover art. They also name the video game they
feel would be displayed on a video wall before their shows, how
vintage 80’s and 90’s action movies have a language of their own.
Brooks also does a deep dive into an interesting regional character
to inspire lyrical themes on the record and why you can’t miss
these guys on tour when shows are announced in North America. Petar
and Sylvia discuss a little WWE and the passing of the the torch
for the Women’s Title, Bring Me The Horizon surprise releasing
their latest album, our thoughts on bands that choose to do
surprise releases, Live Nation’s response to the DOJ’s
investigation in their business practices, and how we as fans have
to navigate the current monopoly they have on shows. Song: Crypt
