EWB 358 WILL SMITH REEKING AURA HEAVY HOLE PODCAST

Death Metal frontman and Heavy Hole Podcast host Will Smith joins us this week.  I’ve been a fan of his since my old band Anodyne shared played a show with his old band Biolich back in the dim past in some forgotten basement in Upstate New York. Most recently, he is fronting Reeking Aura, whose album Blood and Bone Meal was on heavy rotation around here back in 2022.

EWB 354 DRUGOTH MARTIAL ARTS EPISODE
