This month on the podcast we're joined by Senti & Vaughn of Ephyra - a collective of 7 folks releasing metalcore that sounds 20 years displaced! Really wild to take a listen for the first time and think this is not from that original era this takes heavy influence from. We talk about all the bands currently on the label and all the members of the bands and who plays what in which. Tight group playing in quite a few formations. We talk about everything we're listening to as usual and conversation ensues as usual!
We talk about label demands and how Ephyra caught on much more than they ever expected faster than could be. CD and tape production specifics are talked about; nice little tips and tricks if you're starting anything up (one of which being - have someone who's good at accounting). Prayer for Cleansing, Undying, Incubus, Limp Bizkit, a laundry list of bands mentioned... Love Lost But Not Forgotten, deadeyesunder, A Thousand Falling Skies... Jay from Papercut may have been in the room too.
