Hollywood Metal Episode 89 (audio)

This weeks episode featured LA’s own DELPHIAN who have been “rippin’ off weeners” lately. They brought along their good friends Greg and Dane who are in a band called PDP currently shredding their way to the top of the LA scene. During the interview we discussed the origins of both bands and DELPHIAN’s recent appearance in the Mike Judge movie “Extract.” Greg Harrison of PDP teaches shred guitar at Musicians Institute in Hollywood so it was great to hear his perscpective on the state of metal in Hollywood and LA as we’re clearly going through some sort of transition stage. DELPHIAN also gave us some insight on the steps they are taking to push their band to the next level. With the availability of personal recording equipment on the rise they think that bands can get decent recordings on a small budget and ultimately demonstrate to labels that they are serious about the bands future. Four songs from each band were featured. From DELPHIAN they included: “The Lunatic Fringe”, “A Suicide Speech to Pursuade” “Speaking with the Shadows” and “Dominion” which is a collaboration with PDP members. From PDP we played: “Pile Driven”, “Weight”, “317″, and “Die Motherfucker”. If you’re into metal capable of ripping weeners off I highly recommend these bands:
