Open Metalcast #40 (OGG)

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.

Tracks played in this show:

• End Of Days
• They Prey

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!

You can purchase the new album "Liberate" from the Severed Fifth Website (https://severedfifth.com) as well as find upcoming shows, T-Shirts, and more information about the Severed Fifth project. If you'd like to help the band make their studio rent, check out the Fair Pay section of the site, and let them know.

Recently we got the opportunity to speak with Adam Kluga, the sole member of the band "On Wings of Wax". Adam (who hails from Melbourne, Australia)  produced and recorded the album "The Escape", which chronicles the flight and eventual fall of the Greek Tragic Hero, Icarus. We spoke with Adam about the tern Djent, his recording set up, and why playing live music isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Songs in this episode (BY-NC-SA):

• The Descent
• Secrets
• Where there's Smoke

We'd like to than Adam for taking time to talk with us. Learn more about On Wings of Wax on their Bandcamp page (https://onwingsofwax.bandcamp.com) and follow them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/onwingsofwaxmusic.

Apologies to those of you who were unable to download the OGG files. Turns out Nginx doesn't support OGG out of the box (or at least the version I installed didn't). Please let me know if you are still having problems getting to the OGG-versions of the episodes.

Sentient Machine mixes together elements of Metal, Disco, Industrial, and Electronic Music together in a unique, yet oddly familiar way. We talked about their debut album, their plans for their new album, and about James Brown's New Year's Eve Bash.

Tracks played on the show (all tracks BY-NC-ND):

• James Brown New Year's Eve Bash
• Objects Are Women
• Architecture Man

We'd like to thank Adam for taking the time to speak with us. For more information about Sentient Machine, visit their website at https://sentientmachine.net, and download their album at https://sentientmachine.bandcamp.com.
