Jordan Mancino of Wovenwar on The MetalSucks Podcast #167

Jordan Mancino, drummer for Wovenwar (and ex-As I Lay Dying) guests
this week on your favorite metal podcast to talk about the
band's new record, Honor is Dead, which is out now. We
talked with Jordan about the recent departure of bandmate
Phil Sgrosso (he'd been a part of AILD and/or Wovenwar since
he was a teenager), how they were able to reconstruct themselves
after Tim Lambesis decided to "go rogue" and what that looked
like from the inside, how that time in their
history informs who they are today, and their experience as a
Christian band evolving into a secular group in such a visible way.
We also talk about bands who come to represent entire genres of
music. Some bands that barely have a connection to a type
of music adopt a new aesthetic and sound, then rise to the top of a
genre by writing middle of the road tunes that play on the popular
pieces of the genre's past and capitalize on the lowest common
denominator of fans. Are such bands legit? It's happened with many
different genres over the years: Green Day with punk, Limp
Bizkit with nu-metal, Avenged Sevenfold with metal
and many more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
