The Touring Heavy Metal Band Podcast

If you haven’t heard of Third Ion yet, we’ll forgive you. They’ve only made their presence known to the online community in the last 4 months. Featuring members of Into Eternity, The Devin Townsend Project, they’re off to a good start. Throw in phenomenal singing talent and intensely progressive drumming, Third Ion will win over listeners with their tactful balance of harmony and space-age time signatures. Bottom line… You will be assimilated. Today’s Podcast features Third Ion guitarist Justin Bender.

This show is targeted specifically at artists in one of the most passionate, yet highly underpaid genres of music in the industry. In Episode #1, I talk a little bit about the nature of the show and where I'd like to see it go.
