Recently we got the chance to speak with Jono Bacon of Severed Fifth about their long-awaited release "Liberate". The album is the result of a successful community fundraising effort, which raised money to help the band to bring out a proper studio release of the demo album "Nightmares By Design". We spoke with Jono just before the rehearsal for the band's upcoming release party on Feb 3rd. We talked about the making of "Liberate", as well as the future of Severed Fifth and Creative Commons-licensed music.

Jono and Severed Fifth were the first interview we did on Open Metalcast, and as always we're thrilled to have him on the show. Thank you, Jono, for taking the time out to talk with us!
