Episode 124 of 3 Questions and a Song features a powerhouse guest from the heavy music scene: Mick Michaels, guitarist and producer of Hereafter and Corners of Sanctuary, and host of the Cosmic View Podcast. In this dynamic interview with host Bill Domiano, Mick dives into the details behind Hereafter’s brand-new EP, “Roads to Nowhere”, set to be released digitally on July 24, 2025, via FireRock Music Group. Limited physical CD copies will also be available through Sonic Velocity Records, with pre-orders starting July 10, 2025.

Formed during the height of the 2020 pandemic lockdown, Hereafter is a hard-hitting Doom Groove Metal band consisting of veteran East Coast musicians: Chris Natalini (vocals, formerly of Blood Feast and currently of Execution Order), Bert Bigler (bass, Burned into Existence), Mad T (drums, Corners of Sanctuary), and Mick Michaels (guitar/producer, Corners of Sanctuary). Their latest release, Roads to Nowhere, is the third installment in their growing discography following Fire of the Flame (2022) and Overcome (2023), and it represents a bold evolution in their sonic direction.

In this episode, Mick discusses the themes, sound, and recording process behind Roads to Nowhere, shedding light on how Hereafter fuses Doom, Groove, and traditional Metal into a signature style. Fans of bands like Black Sabbath, Pantera, and Down will find much to love in Hereafter’s crushing riffs, thunderous rhythm section, and deep, introspective lyrics.

Mick also talks about the longevity and mission of Corners of Sanctuary, a band known for their New Wave of Traditional Heavy Metal (NWOTHM) sound, relentless touring, and global fanbase. With over a decade of experience in the metal scene, Corners of Sanctuary has consistently delivered quality albums and high-energy performances. Mick shares how he juggles projects and what continues to inspire his songwriting and collaboration efforts.

Listeners also get a glimpse into Mick’s third creative venture: his podcast The Cosmic View, which explores metaphysical topics, the supernatural, music industry trends, and beyond. It’s a show where creative minds discuss the mysteries of life and the universe.

Join Bill and Mick for an in-depth, thought-provoking episode that covers not only the latest metal music releases but also the artistic drive behind staying active and relevant in today’s evolving music landscape.

Whether you’re a fan of underground metal, doom metal, groove metal, traditional heavy metal, or just want to discover new music from passionate musicians, this episode is not to be missed.
