#85: Psycroptic Drummer Dave Haley

Dave Haley, drummer for Australian tech-death band Psycroptic,
guests this week, Chuck and Godless grill him about the
difficulties of being an Aussie band and touring the world, the
benefits of retaining the rights to their music, their involvement
with Tasmanian Devil extinction awareness and which member is the
true hippie of the band. Chuck and Godless also discuss the
divisions between metal fans and how those
rifts reflect racial tendencies in the U.S. It can
be difficult for any band to become "legitimate," but in the modern
metal scene more and more bands get criticized based on their style
rather than their ability to write and play songs. Is this the new
normal? Why do some people just hate clean singing and only listen
to death metal? Should Chuck start a new battle vest? We discuss,
you decide. Songs:Psycroptic - "Cold"Veil of Maya - "Phoenix" Learn
