#311: Norma Jean Vocalist Cory Brandan

This week we chat with Cory Brandan of Norma Jean! We discuss his
return to Norma Jean after releasing the Hundred Suns project,
having the lifer mentality when it comes to the art form of metal,
the difficult writing process for Norma Jean's new album, All Hail,
how the loss of a fan inspired the creation of many songs, going
through the stages of grief while creating songs, comparing the
lessons learned from art to those learned to history, the essence
of a “fictional reality,” and much more. Petar, Brandon, and
Jozalyn also go through and breakdown the completion of The
MetalSucks 25 Best Metal Albums of 2010 - 2019 poll, talk about the
album we feel should never have made the list, and share our
overall thoughts on each selection. Songs: Norma Jean “Safety Last”
and “Landslide Defeater,” “Black Gold” by Infected Rain Learn more
