Metallic Machine Music - An Interview with Black Magnet

On this Episode Johnathan Grissom and Guest Host David Carlyle interview James Hammontree Guitarist and Vocals for Black Magnet. We Talk about James other bands, the current event at Blue Note, Tour life and many more things bands face in their career.

Black Magnet are the progenitors of the new wave of American industrial metal. Described by Revolver as “excoriating and texturally scalding brand of metallic machine music”, Black Magnet has two successful full length albums under their belt, “Hallucination Scene” and “Body Prophecy”, both under the 20 Buck Spin label. In 2023 Black Magnet released two new singles ‘Birth’ and ‘Desert Boots’ that mark a significant shift as the band has evolved from a solo project to a four-piece band. 
After the addition of a lead guitarist, live drums, and a synth player, the band is expanding from their synthetic industrial machine driven roots into new territories found in 90’s alternative metal. With influences ranging from Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, and Alice in Chains, it’s clear Black Magnet play HEAVY guitar focused music with equal devotion to danceable industrial rhythms and intense electronic thunder.
Black Magnet's lineup includes current and former members of Greg Puciato’s solo project (Federal Prisoner) and All Your Sisters (The Flenser).creditsreleased October 27, 2023
Black Magnet is James Hammontree (Guitar, Vocals), Ryne Bratcher (Guitair), Eric Gorman (Synth, Vocals), and Jared Branson (Drums).

LES - Ep 143 - Abandon Alien

On this episode I sit down with Dan and Chris with Abandon Alien. Come join us at the Aloha Backyard as we talk about the start of the band in the time of the Pandemic, the current album, and new album in the works. Let's Talk About Music! Prepare to be captivated by Abandon Alien, an electrifying alt-rock band that seamlessly blends the angsty guitar-driven anthems of 90's grunge with an audacious and innovative twist. Hailing from the heart of Oklahoma City, the band was formed by the talented Dan Bollman, former front man of the renowned Happy Tuesday. Abandon Alien fearlessly confronts the despair of our contemporary world head-on, fearlessly delving into the depths of mental illness and isolation with lyrics that resonate with audiences on a profound level. Their music serves as a vessel for catharsis, illuminating even life's darkest moments with a flicker of hope and understanding.. Get ready to embark on a musical journey like no other as Abandon Alien prepares to unleash their latest creations upon the world. Stay tuned for their forthcoming music, poised to push the boundaries of the alt-rock genre and leave an indelible mark on the music scene.

LES - EP - 141- Irian Darkwood

On this weeks Episode I do a remote interview with Irian Darkwood. We go over Canada live music scene , shows, working with a team, and the importance of having Management in your music career. Irian Darkwood is a hard rock/metal singer and entertainer from Nova Scotia, Canada, pouring my soul into my music to inspire others. Songs on this Episode: Greensleeves: You know how women always talk about all of these creepy experiences they have on the internet? Well, I wrote Greensleeves to address that issue. The song itself is a take on interactions I personally have had experience with. While I make fun of the situations, the reality is, that sometimes it’s really very annoying and sometimes scary on the internet when things like this happen. I wanted Greensleeves to be something people could have fun with, laugh at, and identify with, too kind if bring awareness to the issue. -- Irian Darkwood Let's Talk about music!
