Ep07. Jake Rogers (Visigoth)

This week I chat to Jake Rogers from Salt Lake City-based traditional metallers - Visigoth. We talk about Jake's early singing days and how he inadvertently trained his voice during many long car journeys. We also discuss the scene in Salt Lake City, traditional metal acts of today potentially headlining stadiums in the future, Visigoth's songwriting approach and how pop should not be dismissed when coming up with hooks and choruses, the legalities behind a name, the importance of quality merchandise, and Jake reflects on the passing of Mark Shelton, and a birthday present of sorts that he received from Mark a few years ago. Jake also recommends several current bands on the scene, at my request, that listeners of Feckin' Metal may wish to explore. Oh, and he gives us the inside scoop on current Visigoth activity. This episode is packed with stories and insight from one of the best bands on the scene right now. Enjoy!
