In the latest chapter of the Diary, our cipher speaks with Chicago's These Beasts about working with Sanford Parker, getting on the Magnetic Eye Records redux of Alice in Chains' Dirt, how their first show was a metal and beer fest in the sticks, and how they are actually connoisseurs of pizza.
A Message from the High Priest: In the wake of COVID-19, many bands and artists have found themselves stranded. It is imperative that we support the artists we love. If you have the funds to do so, please support artists by purchasing their merch, their vinyl, whatever they have to offer. This is a time when we must all be supportive of each other, but also remember to please be safe. We want this madness to be quelled as quickly as we can.
