  • Much needed Metal Podcast

    This was amazing to listen to. I opened up for Float Fave Down, Aegeon, & My Bitter End & TLTSOL on that tour , must’ve been like 2012. Ron was the scariest guy I’d ever seen, but was so nice. He had lost his voice the show before, their backtracks wouldn’t work, and man when I tell you they STILL absolutely crushed it. One of the best times of my life .
