Plus, that song we've been using as our theme? You deserve to hear the whole thing! Stick around until the end to hear the full "Family Affair" by Western Massachusetts metal band Split Shift.

This episode, we get Slaytanic! Brian and Matt explore Slayer's South of Heaven with special guest, sludge metal musician Scott Sokoloski, aka The Bunn.

We cover scary album art, the depth of Slayer’s philosophy, and tons more. If you’re a musician or other type of creator, we discuss the challenges of independent music distribution, the differences between Spotify and YouTube, and why The Bunn ditched one in favor of the other.

Plus, we’ll hear songs from The Bunn’s project Venns as well as Florida thrashers Intoxication.
