We discuss the level of dedication that she puts into everything, from the album, to her studies, and how she manages to balance it all is beyond me. She also expands on where her influences come from, and no wonder I like her music, she likes the same stuff as me. Listen here, and then go check out her music. I really had a great time talking to Sofia and want to thank her for taking time out, as she probably doesn't have much free time. 🎙️ Distorted Dialogue | A Podcast from The Metal Institute of Thrashology 🤘Welcome to Distorted Dialogue, the official podcast of The Metal Institute of Thrashology — where riffs meet ridiculousness and academia bows before the almighty arpeggio.Each episode dives deep, headfirst into the chaotic realms of metal, punk, hardcore, and beyond with band members, scene lifers, and other unholy scholars of sound.
