#264: Psycroptic Bassist Todd Stern

Todd Stern of Psycroptic is our guest this week. We discuss his
role in the latest record As The Kingdom Drowns, the addition of
female vocals over choruses, if there was a hazing process when he
joined the band, the logistics of him living in the States and the
rest of the band living in Australia, switching from guitar to bass
to be in Psycroptic, acclimating to the Australian lingo of
his bandmates and which of their records he would love to perform
in its entirety. We also talks about the best way to introduce
young fans to your band, how backing tracks for live shows can be a
slippery slope for metal bands and the importance of writing songs
with replay value.  Petar, Brandon, and Joz can't get enough
of the story about Threatin’s European tour, and we read aloud the
statement made about Oli Herbert in regards to his toxicology
report and how the delivery makes us feel about the situation.
