Three washed-up metal musicians you’ve never heard of review recent releases in the heavy music scene.
Titus Fox, Victor Orozco, Mike Romero
In this episode of "Victor and the Giant Fox," the trynamic trio dives headfirst into the sounds of Veil of Maya's latest album, [m]other. With Victor's penchant for technical precision, Non-titular Mike's inability to identify what his actual tastes in metal are, and the Giant Fox's affinity for finding enjoyable heaviness, they embark on an impassioned discussion, dissecting the intricate guitar work, thunderous drumming, and unyielding vocal prowess that define Veil of Maya's signature sound. They also discovered ChatGPT's pension (or whatever) for writing interesting sounding episode descriptions!
