This week's guest is Cory Judd, guitarist, songwriter & founder of Australia technical deathcore band A Night In Texas. In this extensive conversation we talk about his struggles with the identity of the band, enduring 4 vocalist changes throughout their career & ultimately the "why" and "how" he has managed to keep the band afloat over the past 16 years. From the 2010 demo to Global Slaughter, passing through The God Delusion & their split EP with Angelmaker, Cory reflects with us on the highs and lows of the band's career. With the band's new record "The Darkest Side Of Humanity" set to release September 4th via Unique Leader Records, we chat about the lead single, working with Francesco Paoli of Fleshgod Apocalypse, the writing behind the record, music videos & more.
