#138 After the Burial Vocalist Anthony Notarmaso

Anthony Notarmaso, vocalist for the embattled After the Burial,
guests this week with one of our most heart-wrenching interviews to
date. It's unfortunate that the band can't do interviews without
talking about their late guitarist Justin Lowe, who tragically
passed away last year, but that enabled the band to reach into
spaces not many can comprehend. We talk about Justin, how the band
decided to carry on in spite his absence, how the loss
continues to effect them every day, what it meant to try and
move on so quickly and how they struggled with this new album Dig
Deep and ultimately released their highest debuting release to
date. We also talk about how a bunch of teenagers could possibly be
suffering through their sophomore slump. The new Babymetal song is
out and isn’t as aggressive as their last record; does this signal
a shift in their approach? are they trying to go more mainstream?
does anyone even care? It would appear that a softer image might
play better in the US as they are poised to start doing more shows
in the States, or perhaps this is where the rubber meets the
road for a band whose debut everyone praised. Songs: After the
Burial – "Laurentian Ghosts"Babymetal – "Karate" Learn more about
