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!

Twisted Sister at a young age can turn you into a metal singer!  This week's guest on Discover New Music is Joakim Brodén of Sabaton.  The band's 11th studio album "Legends" is full of...you guess it...legends!  From Joan of Arc to Vlad the Impaler, Brodén talks about matching music to history and telling epics through metal...which isn't an easy task.  Plus, Brodén talks history the band tries to stay away from and one historical figure he wished would've made the album.  We also find out if competitive pinball is in his future.  And make sure you don't miss a Swedish themed Rapid Fire...with a Stolkholm vs. Gottenburge rivalry!
