About this episode

An in-depth interview with the metal band GAEREA discussing their upcoming album 'Loss' and its themes of vulnerability and artistic evolution.

Today joining us all the way from Portugal we are graced with the mysterious presence of one of our new favorite metal music acts Gaerea! They are on the verge of releasing their new album titled Loss that is dropping on March 20th that I can only describe as a cinematic experience. We take a deep dive into learning about the raw beauty of this piece and how the band has evolved to break traditional boundaries of the genre to unshackle their artistic expression and creative freedom. What we love the most about this interview is how it continues to go deeper as the themes of the album brings up real life topics such as managing grief, shattering vulnerability, and authentically making art from the core of your soul. I feel like this is a great interview for both long time and new Gaerea fans to get to know a bit more about the man behind the mask.
