Open Metalcast Episode 016 (OGG)

Anthony Oliver from Enslaved to Machines recently sent me a link to their debut album, Critical Disrupt. I wanted to play the album, but it wasn't licensed as Creative Commons at the time, so I asked them to release it under Creative Commons, and they agreed. Pressing my luck, I asked Anthony if he'd do an interview with us on Open Metalcast, and he also agreed. Here is the interview with what promises to be an innovative band from my home state. Check it out!

Here's a video of the drum-pad drum machine mentioned in the episode.

• FED
