This episode we welcome Lord Dying bass player and tattoo artist Alyssa Maucere to the podcast. Alyssa chats with us about joining Lord Dying, what it was like to work on the band's new album, Clandestine Transcendence, and developing her punk rock bass sound. She also gives us a peek into her life as an illustrator and tattoo artist, talks about creating her solo metal project, Grigax, and reveals what life is like in the "heavy metal retirement" community of Portland. After the interview, Alyssa shares what 3 albums would help people better understand her as a person and sticks around for a super fun count down of our Top 5 Judas Priest Album Covers. Plus, listener poll results from last episode's Metal Thunderdome, what we've been listening to, the latest in metal news and new releases, and Picks from the Crypt!
