Episode 52: Valkyrie's Jake Adams

from The Distorted Dialogue Podcast · host Metal Institute of Thrashology

Episode 52 Valkyrie’s Jake Adams stops by, fresh off of their killer set at the Descendents of Crom Festival, this past September. After seeing their performance, I just had too many questions about their sound, I just had to interview them. Here we talk about what makes Valkyrie's sound, what has been keeping motivated, how the band kept going, when his brother Pete left for an extended period to help out their friends in Baroness, and so much more. I had a blast talking to Jake, but not quite as much fun as seeing them live. I was a fan of their 2020 album Fear, but after watching them perform, I was sold. It actually looked like they were having a blast, while churning out some rock and roll, which clearly transitioned to the crowd. Jake seems like such a cool dude, and after meeting the band at the show, they are just as rad! so go check out their music and let me know who else you guys want me to chat with🎙️ 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. Expect unfiltered, uncensored conversations, deep dives into underground music, and enough sarcasm and sonic blasphemy to earn us a few detention sessions in hell.Whether it is Thrash or Metalcore, Doom to Death and everything in between, if it’s heavy chances are you can find it here. Interviews with artists, tech’s, and other members of the music industry, nothing is off limits, and same goes for the chats! Rather than a boring rapid fire of the same old questions everyone asks, I’d rather have a cool conversation that feels more like a hangout, rather than a pretentious business meeting. It’s METAL, let’s have some FUN! 🔔 Subscribe for new episodes where chaos becomes curriculum.Don’t Forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE!
