#151 Aaron Turner (Sumac, ex-Isis)

Aaron Turner of Sumac, ex-Isis, Mammifer, Old Man Gloom and Hydra
Head Records is our guest this week. We discuss the new Sumac
album What One Becomes, how he has changed emotionally since his
early days with Isis, the role his wife played in turning him into
a more well-adjusted person, his introverted nature,
whether Isis will return someday, how a different view of his life
shapes his reaction to his past art and what he is currently
working to express with new musicians. We also discuss Benji Webbe,
frontman for Skindred, who mocked the young women of Babymetal
at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards, It's pretty obvious that
his attempt at humor fell flat and appeared racist, but did his
"apology" via Twitter pacify Babymetal's fans? Or did he
actually make it worse by giving a halfhearted statement? If you
screw up what makes for a good apology, is it more important to be
truthful? If not, it can really look worse than the faux pas you
committed in the first place. Songs: Sumac – "Rigid Man" (Partial)
Make Them Suffer – "Ether" Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
