Cutter's RockCast

Andy Biersack is the lead singer of the band Black Veil Brides. Over the past decade or so Black Veil Brides have amassed a giant hard core following and for good reason. Now with the release of the song "Scarlet Cross" they are poised to gain more followers. We find out about their new album and get the low down on the Amazon Prime show 'Paradise City' staring Andy and Asking Alexandria guitarist...

You know Corey Taylor as the lead singer of Slipknot. Also as the lead singer of Stone Sour. Also has an accomplished author. Just cause now he's a solo artist too. Last fall he put out his debut solo album entitled 'CMFT' I think you can figure out what that stands for. Now it's time to get into it further with the one and only Corey Taylor. PS...Kaytie is back for this one as well.

Listen, this conversation with Shaun Morgan of Seether involves religion, it involves mental health and drug addiction, it involves the subject of current world issues and of course we talk music too. I Cutter can honestly tell you that it's very rare that a recorded conversation in front of a microphone goes this deep. I have the utmost love and respect for this man. This conversation is filled w...

The Human Condition is the name of the 7th studio album from Kentucky's modern southern rock heroes Black Stone Cherry. Yet there is a heaviness to the album that we haven't heard from them. Ben Wells is the guitarist of Black Stone Cherry and you know how I love my riffs! Let's catch up and dig in on Black Stone and The Human Condition.

If you dig back through some of these episodes you'll find the first time I ever had the chance to meet and have a conversation with Sam Carter, the lead singer of the UK metalcore band Architects. That sold out show that evening sold me on everything this band has ever done and now they are back with an actual mainstream rock hit. Their new album 'For Those That Wish to Exist' will be out on Febr...

Full disclosure when I set everything up for Taylor to return to the Rockcast it was my birthday and therefore wished me a happy birthday a couple of times. Besides that though we nerd out on guitar players, talk about building Pink Floyd puzzles and go in depth on the new album ‘Death By Rock and Roll’ and more specifically their two new songs “25” and “And so it Went.”

Throughout the month of January Avatar has been holding special live stream concerts. Every Saturday with a new theme. The first was about their latest album Hunter Gatherer and then different eras of the band every Saturday. Lead singer and all around amazing human Johannes Ekerstrom joins me on Cutter's Rockcast

Yes the grammy's have been postponed and they don't really pay very close attention to the world of hard rock, but In This Moment have shined through and have been nominated for best metal performance. I catch up with lead singer of In This Moment and the amazing Maria Brink to discuss it further. *note* This conversation took place just before Christmas and before we knew the Grammy's were postpo...

By this point we probably all know the emotional roller coaster ride that has been the life of Wes Scantlin, the lead singer of Puddle of Mudd. In the first part of this century it was hard pressed to find a more popular band, but drugs, alcohol and as Wes says women ultimately were the downfall. Then in 2019 he put out a new album called ‘Welcome to Galvania’ and rock radio welcomed them back wit...

Myles Kennedy is the lead singer of Alter Bridge, but he's also the lead singer of Slash Featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators, plus he's an accomplished solo artist in his own right. Alter Bridge put out a version of their latest album 'Walk the Sky' called 'Walk The Sky 2.0' that features one new song "Last Rights" and a bunch of songs recorded live during their shortened US tour in suppo...

Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust returns to the Rockcast as they get set to do another live stream concert on January 8th. This time they will be playing their 3rd album 'Animosity' in it's entirety. So we're digging back in time and talking about that landmark album.

The power of the monolith compelled me to have Utah's own Royal Bliss on the show. Although it didn't take much convincing as they are old friends, plus they currently have another top 20 single. That song is of course called "Medication" and the did it with former Sick Puppy, Shim. It was time to catch up with Neil and Taylor from Royal Bliss.

'Medium Rarities' is the name of a compilation album by Mastodon that features one new song and a bunch of hard to find, covers and live songs. Time to catch up with one of the best guitarists in hard rock/heavy metal Bill Kelliher of Mastodon.

This conversation was actually recorded on Halloween and I was proudly wearing my Batman onesie will talking to Royal Blood. The two piece band joined me via Zoom from England to talk about their latest song "Trouble's Coming" and what's going on with their upcoming third album. Also me being the nerd I am I had to ask how they make this huge sound with just the two of them.

Ayron Jones is a Seattle born guitarist and singer/songwriter. He hails from the same neighborhood as Jimi Hendrix but a Hendrix clone he is not. Being influenced by the blues, hard rock, hip-hop and R&B Ayron has a sound all his own. Let's find out more plus a special Rockcast exclusive live performance of hit single "Take Me Away."

I can't even begin to explain how deep this conversation goes. Jason Alon Butler is the lead singer of Fever 333 who are just as much a revolution as they are a band. Jason had been on the front lines of the most recent protests and wrote the new ep 'Wrong Generation' all about it. Kaytie, myself and Jason are getting into it on the latest episode of Cutter's Rockcast.

Brandon Saller... former drummer/ vocalist now official frontman for Atreyu joins Cutter and Kaytie for an update on the band status, new music, touring info and more.

Chris Daughtry is of course the lead singer of the band of his name sake. He rose to fame in the early 2000's after being a runner up on American Idol. Of course the dude is a rock guy and if he ever needed to prove it, he's done just that with his latest release "World on Fire."

It's been 9 years since Evanescence released a proper album. Soon that will change with 'The Bitter Truth' but first Amy Lee is using her power for good with the song "Use My Voice." Amy is truly a wonderful human being and one of the most intelligent women I've ever met so it's about time she joins us for a conversation on the Rockcast.

Artists for Recovery is the name that has been given to a slew of artists that are now sober and are raising awareness for one of the worst epidemics this country has ever seen. The song "Maybe it's Time" by Sixx:A.M. has been re-released with Corey Taylor, Ivan Moody, Tommy Vext, Slash, Joe Elliot and more and they did to put money (literally) where their mouth is for the opioid problem. James Mi...

The two piece rock and roll band Cleopatrick hale form Cobourg, Ontario, Canada and Kaytie and I have been listening to them for a couple of years. With the official single release in the States of their song "Hometown" they are poised to do amazing things. New album is coming, as we get an introduction to Cleopatrick.

Eric is of course one of the two singers in the band I Prevail. With their last two singles featuring guest spots, one with rapper Joyner Lucas in the song "DOA" and of course "Every Time You Leave" featuring Canadian singer Delaney Jane a conversation needed to happen about mash up of genres going on here. Plus what exactly are I Prevail up to during this pandemic?

Matt Brandyberry is one of the founding members of the band From Ashes to New. On the cusp of their 3rd album 'Panic' coming out (Auguest 28th) plus the title track now being a top 15 song in the world of mainstream rock, it was time to catch up. Joining me from his home with his Philadelphia Eagles cup next to him at all times we catch up on the band, on some personal stuff and even make it throu...

Holy crap! This is the 200th episode of Cutter's Rockcast. This is a big deal to us and we can't thank you enough for joining us on this journey. We discuss the orgins of this podcast, some favorite moments, but we're still a little ticked off at the world. It's all that rock and roll angst.

You know who Brent Smith is if you listen to rock music, unless you write for Stereogum but more on that in this the 199th actual episode of Cutter's Rockcast. Shinedown are close to breaking the record for the most number one rock songs in history and they may do it with a song that was put out to solely raise money for Direct Relief. There's a lot to cover here with Mr. Smith.
