On Episode 8 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, lead singer and guitarist, Justin Erb, from the band Lost Psychonaut stops by where we discuss their brand new album, Violent Outbursts and False Accusations, shopping it to record labels, and the overall vibe of the writing. Lost Psychonaut is one of those bands that walk a fine between hard rock and heavy metal, dipping their toes into both and that was what reeled me in to their sound. Justin elaborates and tells us the writing process that went into their album, and how they come up with such wicked sounds. He discusses some of the shows they played, how live shows are so smooth, other bands he has been part of and the local scene in Connellsville, PA, just outside of Pittsburgh. I had a great time talking to Justin, and am so thankful he took time out to swing by and discuss metal with me. If you get the chance, check out their albums and let them know I sent ya. 🎙️ Distorted Dialogue is a metal-focused podcast where underground and established artists alike sit down for raw, unfiltered conversations. Hosted by The Metal Institute of Thrashology, this show dives into the heart of heavy music—from riffs, gear, and songwriting to the stories and chaos that fuel the scene.No rigid questions. No industry fluff. Just real dialogue about metal, punk, hardcore, and beyond. Whether you’re a die-hard fan, musician, or someone discovering heavy music for the first time, Distorted Dialogue brings you closer to the voices shaping the sound of distortion today.Whether it's Black, Death, Thrash, Doom or any other type of heavy metal, you'll find it here, where I get talk about what you want to know.
