   We Heard Horror Stories About You: Stephen Sarro (Tantrum of the Muse, UnTeachers)

   One more to cap off the year. Mason and Roland got to sit down with Stephen Sarro of Tantrum of the Muse and UnTeachers back in October and it's just now coming out! It's been that kind of a year. But nevertheless, the conversation is an enjoyable one, where Stephen discusses the controversy of Tantrum of the Muse, the difficulty of starting UnTeachers, and every little antic of his in between. He also mentions their new album is being worked out, so stay tuned for that!

   In this week's episode, Mason introduces others to speak about their experience with DEATH, the legendary death metal act from Florida.

   Tech Talk Ep. 1: Logan Thompson (Symphony of Heaven, Elgibbor, Koronatizor, etc.)

   This week, Mason and Roland started a new experimental series for the podcast called "TechTalk", where musicians and artists come on the show and discuss the techniques and technology they use to do what they do. Gear talk is a constant in musician circles and this is a quick and easy way to hear about it from peers and people we're fans of. A shorter episode than normal, but some new ones are coming soon. Promise.

   Staring at my Guitars: Rob Volkoff (Aseity, Life Renewed, I Prayed For An Afterlife, etc.)

   This week, Mason spoke to Rob Volkoff of Aseity, I Prayed For An Afterlife, and most recently Life Renewed. The conversation stems over Rob's career and how much time and effort he put into a number of projects including O, House of Jacob, Discerner, and many others. Rob covers his career extensively, talks to Mason about how many mutual connections they have had over the years, and goes deep into the meaning of his latest song, "Vision/Revision".

   This week, Mason and Roland sat down to talk to Monica Soe of Aseity about her band, her artwork, and her musical background, hopes, and dreams.

   BONUS: Two Truths and a Lie

   This week, Roland and Mason play a game. They came up with a fake band name and included them in a list with two existing bands. No music from the bands mentioned will be included in case you want to play along. Hopefully, you do. However, we included bands in a similar genre to each one. Following the game, the two also cover the most absurd band names that exist, according to Rolling Stone (https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/13-dumbest-band-names-in-rock-history-177588/).

   The Drunk Nun: Why We Left...

   Roland and Mason are back after several weeks of relaxation in paradise (or so they would have you think). To return, they talk new releases, review new releases, talk about shows returning, tours, why Indiana has a poor-to-nonexistent music scene, and finally, a recent controversy that has occurred lately in the metal scene.

    Traversing the Metal Subgenres

    Roland and Mason go on a crazy adventure throughout the genres of metal. Or at least, Wikipedia's list. They go on some weird tangents on some weird genres. It was educational and very odd.

    Limited Space on this Flat Earth: Spencer Byers

    Today, Roland and I sat down with our close friend Spencer Byers. And did it go downhill from there? Conspiracy theories, joking around, and towards the end, Spencer turned the tables on us and wanted to ask us questions about the music industry. Spencer is a guy our age who is wanting to get into it just like us and we're there to support him in this venture. Follow him on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/chiefkeith_01/)!

    I'm Hype Too: Hyperion Zhang (The Thlipsis, Risen)

    Welcome to 2021! It's already been an interesting year, only two weeks in. Anyway, we decided to kick it off with an interview. We talked to Hyperion Zhang of The Thlipsis and Risen, both projects Mason has been involved in at one point or another. Hyperion talks to us about The Thlipsis, his time with Risen, how he and Mason met, upcoming shows, recordings, and the current lineup of the band. On a side note, we also discuss a controversial topic relating to a metal guitarist in the news lately.

    Joey Nogle (Plus Top 3 Movies)

    Welcome back, welcome back! Hope you all have a Happy New Year and that you had a Merry Christmas! I'll warn you now but the audio is really rough on this episode, with Roland's mic cutting in and out, and Mason's having a lot of static. However, hopefully, that will not take away from our guest, Joey Nogle! Our country-loving friend Joey has been working on new music, while also teaching his loveable dog Bruce how to pray (more on that later). We also talk about our favorite films. Hurtful words are exchanged in the process as well, but that's normal.

    For Those About To Rock

    We are back after a few weeks. Trying to give this every two weeks thing a shot. We're busy dudes, what do you want from us? Anyways, we're back this week and we covered five bands each we discovered this year that we found, so 10 in total. Also, toward the end, for whatever reason, we discussed what next year looks like for the music scene and generally for the public. These are simply our opinions and we are trying to be gracious with them. Huge thanks to Erik Street (for putting up with us) and Monica Soe (for the dope artwork), as well as all the bands we have mentioned for the killer material!

    Waltteri Mäensivu (TheCoolGuitarGuy)

    Our first guest!!! Waltteri Mäensivu joins Roland and Mason on the third episode of Life of Defiance Podcast, where they talk everything from music to COVID, independent fact-checkers to "extreme Finnish". Waltteri hails from Finland and has been working on his career since. Performing his own music, Waltteri is definitely on his way to something special. Huge thanks to Waltteri for taking a risk with us and being our first guest! Thanks to Erik Street for assisting in the production of the videos for this podcast (maybe we'll release those one day, who the heck knows) and Monica Soe for the artwork of our podcast.

    Down the Port Hole

    Yes, that’s two drum puns in a row. May have to capitalize on that. Anyway, this week Mason and Roland go into the mindset of musicians, specifically drummers in this case. Even the mindset of Christian drummers! Or if you want to get even more niche, Christian metal drummers. Another thank you to Erik Street for working with us on the technical/behind-the-scenes side, as well as Monica Soe for creating the dope artwork!
