You gotta have the cake first...but the icing is pretty damn good too!  This week's guest on Discover New Music is the legendary Zakk Wylde.  In between cracking jokes, Wylde broke down creating the latest Black Label Society album "Engines of Destruction" with a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants approach.  Make a pot of coffee and work on a riff.  Go on a food run and work out some lyrics.  Well it worked and now we have the first new BLS record since '21.  Wylde also shares a sweet story about Ozzy that you won't want to miss.  As always a quick round of Rapid Fire is played...in a very diplomatic fashion.

We gotta start a band so we can get out of Ohio!  This week's guest on Discover New Music is Jeremy DePoyster of The Devil Wears Prada.  The tone of the band's ninth studio album "Flowers" is immediately set by the open track "Where the Flowers Never Grow" and takes the listener on a "Dantes Inferno"-esque descent to the bottom and then climb back out.  We also get a look into the sound mindset the band was going for throughout the entire three year process of making the record.  Plus, DePoyster talks 20 years of DWP and what the milestone means to him and the band...and hopefully a ride that never ends!  As always, a quick round of Rapid Fire is played...and getting punched in the face sucks!

Even if no one is listening they're still gonna make music.  This week's guest on Discover New Music is Aaron Pauley of Of Mice & Men.  Though not on purpose, the band's upcoming ninth studio album "Another Miracle" is their heaviest to date.  Pauley talks about mixing and mastering the album himself and why they decided to keep the whole process in house and allow for even more creative freedom.  Plus he opens up about a very special song on the record that came to him in a dream after finding out he was going to be a dad to a new baby girl.  As always a quick round of Rapid Fire is played...with Bigfoot up north Wisconsin!
