Episode 58: Donald Carpenter (Blisskrieg, ex-Apollo Under Fire, ex-Eye Empire, ex-Submersed

J-Bunny's Music Hub Podcast

I sit down on Skype (while drinking beer from Ghost Hawk Brewing Co, of course) and talk to Donald Carpenter, vocalist of the band Blisskrieg, and formerly of Submersed, Eye Empire, and Apollo Under Fire. We discuss his journey in each band including how they formed, and in the case of his former bands, why they broke up. We also discuss why he has taken a more melodic vocal approach in Blisskrieg than he did in Eye Empire, and whether or not he would still write and sing a heavier vocal. And of course, I ask him his thoughts on the current state of the music industry. Podcast intro "Rock Intro 3" courtesy of audionautix.com. Photo taken by Shaun Carswell. "Inside Me" and “Waiting” appear on Blisskrieg’s debut album Remedy. Both songs were included with the permission of Donald Carpenter.
