#412: Khemmis Guitarist/Vocalist Phil Pendergast

Khemmis co-guitarist and co-vocalist Phil Pendergast is our guest
this week! We discuss the band's new album, Deceiver, the long and
difficult process of writing lyrics for it, fighting through a lack
of motivation and depression during the pandemic, how Deceiver
connects to the band's breakthrough album, Hunted, the exit of
bassist Dan Beiers during the record's creation, and why they are
planning their touring schedule for the next year especially
carefully. Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn discuss Marilyn Manson
joining a prayer circle with Kanye West and Justin Bieber, the
possibility of Manson turning to Christianity, Mastodon's Brent
Hinds use of a homophobic slur and the band's subsequent apology,
and Slipknot fans starting a fire in the pit at a show in Arizona.
