#529 - Herman Li (Dragonforce)

Dragonforce’s Herman Li is joining us for this week's MetalSucks
Podcast! The band’s latest album Warp Speed Warriors is coming out
this Friday, March 15, so Li tells us how Dragonforce landed the
Despicable Me 4 trailer, how we have noticed metal is getting its
due in the advertising world, his physical music collection being
across the pond, and how his London home is a bit of a time
machine. Naturally, we also discuss the last video game he
remembers beating in the arcade, the album artwork from concept to
completion, the extra goodies Dragonforce gives out when the band
does  meet and greets, and  why it’s important to be able
to compromise on co-headlining tours. Petar and Sylvia discuss the
momentous release of the new Judas Priest record Invincible Shield
and how they're the first heavy metal band to release two albums 50
years apart. Petar also shares a personal 'Proud Papa' moment
involving the record. As for the news, they discussed Phil Demmel
being surprised about the Slayer reunion announcement, Burton C.
Bell releasing his first solo track, and a bill being introduced to
Congress that would increase streaming payments for musicians.
