believe in the ripple fact

The ripple fact I'm a host, Ricky Vrandis. Today we have

Brian Stone. He's a singer, guitarist, songwriter for a metal band called Contortion out of California.

They're a political band. They have a new album coming out October 27th called False Flag Paradigm.

And when I say political, I don't mean just talking about politics, but really talking about

corruption and just a lot of stuff that we talk about in the show.

So he's obviously a perfect fit.

And it was a pleasure to talk to him.

That was a fun conversation.

And we talked about a lot of different stuff.

And I'm sure he'll be doing press after the album's out, October 27th. False Flag Paradigm.

I think I said that already, but just remind you. And he'll be doing press with tons of people

asking questions about the music, the album, specifically, you know, things like

his influences and stuff like that. But the nice thing about this podcast is that you'll hopefully

get to see different sides to musicians. When I had Mike Martins from All That Remains, or

Clayton from Cell Dweller, or Burton C. Bell from Fear Factory, or even when I had Fire from the Gods.

I think when I had the singer Fire from the Gods, we barely talked about the music.

But it was fun because you can get a lot of interviews, you can find a lot of interviews

where band members talk about their albums and their influences and what they listen to growing up

and their favorite current band and all that stuff is interesting but but you don't see a lot of interviews where

the guest asks them questions about politics foreign policy or corruption or personal beliefs

about religion or a bunch of stuff that has nothing really to do with music, but really who we are as people
