#474 - Markus Vanhala (Insomnium)

On this week's MetalSucks Podcast, we've got Insomnium guitarist
Markus Vanhala as our guest. During our chat, we discuss how the
band's latest single, “The Witch Hunter,” almost didn’t make it on
the new album Anno 1696. We also learn more about the short story
that inspired the concept album, as well as how he felt
 releasing singles to the fanbase instead of a complete EP.
Speaking of EPs, we got Markus to share his favorite EP’s of the
90’s, how the special edition of Anno 1696 comes with an exclusive
EP of bonus songs, what ideas  people feel would be
“commercial suicide” working for the band, and his optimistic
outlook on the future of the music industry. Also in the episode is
a discussion between Petar and Sylvia, where they tackle the sad
news that Ozzy Osbourne is retiring from touring due to his health
issues, Steve-O pleading with Bam Margera in hopes of choosing
recovery over death, their excitement over Jason Newsted working on
new heavy music, and Dee Snider’s comments on reunion tours being
“lame.” Song: Insomnium - “The Witch Hunter” Song: Insomnium -
