Blynd Submyshynz Episode 27: Max Malmer from Cavern Deep

Get ready to hear about Swedish music and culture in this fascinating chat with our first submission-turned-guest Max Malmer from Cavern Deep. If you’ve been following along, you heard us listen to Max’s band in episode 25 (the Return of the Susie) and we were blown away. Turns out Max is a prolific musician and producer from Umeå Sweden, a small town (100K) population in Norland (Northern Sweden) that has produced a shocking number of popular metal and hardcore bands including Meshuggah, Breach, Nagelfar, Cult of Luna, Refused, and Persuader. 

Lots of great discussion of music, culture, video game addiction, support for the arts, Swedish military history, Midsommar and penis poles, Attestupa, the Sámi people, and great Swedish bands who don’t make it out of Sweden because they don’t sing in English.
