This episode features an interview with Matt Pitre from super heavy new(ish, but a long time in-progress) alternative/experimental metal project [Book Of Ghosts](http://www.instagram.com/bookofghostsofficial/)! It's a fun chat about the band’s debut record, playing brutally heavy music that is also accessible and catchy, the trials and tribulations of trying to put on a show with something that – up to now – has just been a recording project, and much more!
