#15 - Zachary Ezrin & Steve Blanco (IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT) listen to Powerwolf's "Wake Up the Wicked"

Two-thirds of New York's cacophonous, extreme metal triumvirate Imperial Triumphant stop by to spin the 10th studio album by German power metal werewolves Powerwolf.

Zachary Ezrin (vocals/guitar) and Steve Blanco (bass) listen to this band for the very first time and have a blast. They marvel at the variety, the consistency, and the infectiousness of the record's 11 songs across 37 minutes.

All the while, they discuss their brand new album "Goldstar," how touring relentlessly and wanting to play shorter songs led to its creation, and how their songs evolve over time.

We also dive in to Powerwolf's insane ability to shred merch, their stage names, and their legions of loyal fans.

If you've ever wanted to watch two extreme/jazz musicians lose their minds to cheesy and pristine power metal, you've come to the right place.
