#322: Kirk Windstein (Crowbar)

This week riff-master Kirk Windstein of Crowbar comes on the
podcast to discuss his first solo album, Dream in Motion. Kirk
tells us about the challenge of covering Jethro Tull, which solo
artist he thinks successfully broke away from their main band to
flourish on their own, the major influence of Carnivore on the
Crowbar sound, his favorite Type O Negative record, which festival
would be perfect for all the bands whose members comprise Down to
play, his favorite Down release and why, an update on the
completion of the four Down EPs that were supposed to make up Down
IV, and when we can expect a new Crowbar album (hint: very soon).
Petar and Brandon talk about the sudden passing of Cynic and Death
drummer Sean Reinert, the influence that he had on modern heavy
metal drumming, what Death's Human and Cynic’s Focus did for us as
young metal fans, and the importance of those records in the
history of the genre. Song: Cynic - “How Could I," Kirk Windstein -
“Dream In Motion” and “Aqualung” Stream this week’s episode below.
