#316: Stone Sour Guitarist Josh Rand

Nile mastermind Karl Sanders is our guest this week. We discuss the
writing process for Nile's new album, Vile Nilotic Rites, the
extensive touring prior to recording it, keeping up that momentum
in the studio, the anxiety that comes with releasing new music and
what made this album cycle different, how producer Mark Lewis
helped strengthen its production, why he isn't interested in
playing a classic album in its entirety and more. Sanders also
shares the lessons that he brings to life from training in martial
arts, his current gripe with modern day reviewers of music, and if
there are any secret personal lyrics behind Nile songs. Petar,
Brandon, and Jozalyn tackle the news of Sleep's planned indefinite
hiatus, which Matt Pike band we prefer, The Black Crowes reuniting
with only Chris and Rich Robinson from the classic band lineup,
and Corey Taylor’s thought on writing great music sober.
