Emzy Enzy 3QS063

Caleb Straus of Emzy Enzy  First Angel Media joins the show to take his shot at 3 Questions (or so) and a song! Being from Austin Texas, how did you come to find First Angel Media? I see that you release music as both Emzy Enzy (as Leej, Legion) and also as Caleb Straus, how to you determine what song gets released as whom? If an apocalyptic event happened and only one of your songs survives to help re-populate the Earth, which song would it be and why? If Emzy Enzy could open for any band in the history of time, who would you open for, at what location, and why that band? What made you choose that heavy direction with your music? What made you stick with it over the years instead of picking a different direction? asked by Doug Carnahan on episode 62 About Emzy Enzy Genre: Experimental Metal Location: Austin, TX, USA Emzy Enzy is an experimental industrial metal band currently based in Austin TX, led by vocalist Caleb Straus (LEEJUN), and featuring Christopher Burch (KNUMERIC) on guitar and synth, and William Douglas (SPLATTERBRAIN) on bass. The band also incorporates elements of lounge, trip hop, trap metal, and black and death metal into their expansive and experimental sound. About the Song, Narcissistic Cyborg Narcissistic Cyborg is track one of the upcoming album, “KREM”, based on a fictional planet of the band’s making, “KREM” marks a departure from Emzy Enzy’s early experimental/industrial sound (which are still present but in the background), to make way for a far more present death metal and hardcore influence. Narcissistic Cyborg is track one on KREM, and the recent single “My Kindness” feat. Seethe is Track 2. We are drip releasing two albums simultaneously, “KREM” and “Beelzebourbon” which is a huge detour. Will discuss more details on the show. 🙂 Every month, you’ll get a new song from each album.

How did you end up at Misra Records? We talked a bit about Liveburgh Studio and Bad Custer. Can you talk a bit about the rosters and do a little bit of name dropping? How do you go about taking on new artists? How did you hook up with Sun for Moon from Cairo, Egypt? If someone wanted to send a submission to either label, how would they go about that? We talk about Gene Simmons said that the rock record label was dead, and how really what has happened is the system has adapted to the times. Segment 2 with with Misra Records and Wild Kindness Records Where can our listeners find your artists on both labels? As an artist yourself, if you had the chance to meet your idol and ask them 1 question, who would it be and what would you ask? (Brian Eno) If you could listen to an album again for the first time, which album would it be? An apocalyptic event happens on Earth and wipes out a good portion of the humans; one song from every artist survives, what one song from your artists should survive to help repopulate the Earth. As an artist, what band would you want to open for and at what venue (Dieselbeast question) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPKd_SQXRIM

Dead Men visit the PA Rock Show

The members of Dead Men from East Stroudsburg, PA join Bill on the show for Episode 396. We began the show by discussing their music style/genres. Rich, Levi, and Kevin give us a bit of an inside look into how the band formed, the band name, and their writing process during the first segment. Dead Men told us about their song Damned, Doomed, & Cursed. Segment 2: We started out learning about Dead Men through asking about the person that supported each of them the most as a musician (we get to learn about Levi’s musical family), what bands and albums are in their music collections, what band would they like to open for and at what venue, what their favorite venue is… we played a short round of “Either or”. We then move onto finding out about their embarrassing stage moments. The band wants you to grab a free copy of the ep at:  https://deadmenband.bandcamp.com/.  We ended things with a few shout outs to www.aproradio.com, www.weeklyrockblog.com, and www.977rocks.com.
