Episode 368: In Fear

The gents from In Fear join us today. The band is releasing new music starting with the single "Abyss," and its story leads this podcast. We talk about the song's 4 year long process, how every other song the band has already released is leading to this sound, how the song was written around sleep paralysis, and how the fans promoting the song is helping the band get even more press. We also talk about how Ryan and Ben met their lead singer Hayden, supporting younger acts, and a copyright scare that almost scared the band silly.
