Subjugator - Inside the San Diego Metalcore Band, Sex Metal, and the Braindance EP

On Episode 70 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, I sit down with a few of the members from the San Diego metalcore band, Subjugator, to discuss their formation, their new EP that just launched, Braindance, and so much more. We also discuss the song that they are currently working on described as Sex metal, their living situations and the lengths that these dudes go to keep the band moving forward. Wether it's sleeping on couches, and losing cash on tour, to moving members 8 hours to be closer, or working around their lead guitarist's service in the Navy, whatever it takes to make metal these dudes will do it. Thanks to Subjugator for showing up on short notice, and having so much fun on this one as I think I laughed over half this episode. Not only are they good dudes, but they put out some damn good metal music. Billed as Metalcore, I hear influences from several different genres, making this a widely appealing EP in Brandance.

Discussing topics such as new albums, inspirations, concerts, crazy road stories and wherever else the conversation takes us.
