#448: Imperial Triumphant's Steve Blanco

This week, Imperial Triumphant’s Steve Blanco is our guest! We
discuss how he got Kenny G as a guest performer on the band's new
album Spirit of Ecstasy, recently touring the border countries of
the Russia/Ukraine conflict, and the film composer that is the
biggest inspiration on his band. We also discuss Stanley Kubrick
being a perfect example of cinema, his thoughts on modern-day art
versus entertainment, how everything they do is somehow tied to New
York City, and looking forward to their upcoming tour with Zeal
& Ardor. Petar, Sylvia, and Brandon tackle Scott Ian’s comments
about S.O.D. being canceled in modern times, Corey Taylor giving up
on changing people’s views, and Mike Patton’s need to step away
from lives shows due to his mental health. Song: Imperial
