Episode 165 with Elmer Maurits (Distant): It’s Like Metallica But Lower and a Lot More Screaming

In this episode, Elmer Maurits of the downtempo, deathcore band Distant talks about being a European band but living in different countries, the love of touring and traveling, the custom guitars and basses needed for playing downtuned music, the importance of melody and moods for extreme music, and what it means to have signed with the label Century Media. Plus, the importance of defined business roles within bands, getting on big festivals, and offering other types of media like books along with music.  You can check out Distant at the following locations: https://distantofficial.com/ https://www.instagram.com/distantofficial/ https://www.facebook.com/DistantOfficial/about?ref=page_internal https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI_ibbxHtF92pAQU-UIrjDQ Paul works a day job and puts out vinyl and puts on shows via Katzulhu Productions https://www.facebook.com/paul.neil.12 https://www.facebook.com/katzulhu https://www.facebook.com/Dont-Quit-Your-Day-Job-podcast-107924851339602
