Scott Mellinger plays guitar in a highly influential metalcore band called ZAO. The band is playing the big Furnace Fest 2021 down in Arkansas this weekend, so I thought it would be fitting to feature one of the most beloved bands from that scene on the podcast this week. Scott is a great guy to chat with and the new Zao album is high quality stuff. Go out of your way to check out “The Crimson Corridor” after you listen to this pod.
