Never underestimate the value of hair color or a third guitar player.

Jon and Keito from MNMLST combine forces with Joe and Oscar from Under Auburn Skies. See them Friday, January 31st 2020 at Marquis Theater.

This is the first Metalix episode with Metalix Reax and the official Metalix intern Ashley.

Other Stuff in This Interview

Jon’s Twitch stream for this interview can be viewed here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/542932878

Gary from Line Brawl (episode 57 here) confirmed he fought a Nazi when Hatebreed played at Mayhem Fest 2010, not Warped Tour.

This is likely the Keito Erra cover that Jon first saw online, leading him to join MNMLST.

Talon from Venom and Valor calls in with trash talk of his own. You heard him episode 52 with Venom and Valor here.

There was speculation about an affair between Mark Holcomb from Periphery and Yvette Young from Covet during this episode.
