SI #21 This is Benjamin Pitts | Nightwraith

My guest this week is Benjamin Pitts, vocalist and guitarist for the powerful and mesmerizing melodic death metal band, Nightwraith.

The band has a new record coming out tomorrow and Ben was able to slide in to the calendar and join me today. For that, I'm super grateful. Listen to the show and learn about this fantastic, humble human, who happens to be a total nerd who loves heavy brutal music but has a kind heart of gold. What a mensch.

This is Ben Pitts!

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: I'm a huge movie buff, so I thought it was cool to mention that the David Lynch film, Blue Velvet, debuted in Toronto 38 years ago today, which is madness because I saw it first run myself. I can't believe that much time has gone by.

SONG OF THE WEEK: BornBroken, from Montreal QC, has a new single out, called Am I Invisible.... which reminds me of some of the best metal out there. It's well produced and thought you might enjoy it. Let me know what it reminds you of, and is that a good thing?

The new NightWraith album 'Divergence' - being released TOMORROW, SEPT 13TH, worldwide. 5 shows in Sept are booked to support the album release.
