#501.5 - Maurizio Iacono (Kataklysm)

Maurizio Iacono of Kataklysm is back on the show for a bonus
episode! We're here to discuss all things Goliath, the band's
latest album, which is out right now via Nuclear Blast Records.
During our chat, we also discuss what it was like releasing their
previous album Unconquered in the middle of the pandemic, being one
of the first bands to tour the United States coast to coast after
the pandemic, and the band's goal of getting the new album done and
out to fans.  We also chat about his experience in the last
year with managing bands and the rising tour cost, the breakdown
and reality of what venues are doing with merch cut percentages in
modern times, the importance of championing a young band and
navigating them through the current climate, and why it is a human
right to question authority and have a clear open discussion in
these times. Song: Kataklysm “Dark Wings of Deception Song:
