Sean joins Zach Moonshine for a killer conversation covering more than four decades of heavy metal history, the band's latest album Shape Of Things To Come, and the experiences that have shaped his musical journey. We get into Sean's nine years with HERETIC, the band's early connections to the legendary Southern California metal scene, and the intertwined history of HERETIC, Metal Church, and Reverend. We also discuss the making of the band's latest album, working with producer Steve Watson, the incredible artwork by Tom Berg, and what's coming next for the band. But that's just the beginning! Sean also takes us behind the scenes of his work with Bonfire, the AC/DC tribute band celebrating the Bon Scott era. We talk about touring with Zakk Wylde, opening for Zakk Sabbath, the Berzerkus Festival, and the unforgettable experience of playing to packed venues night after night. And here's a story you don't hear every day: Sean shares how Bonfire vocalist Sean Scott McCormick's bandmate actually got the opportunity to audition with AC/DC during the period when Brian Johnson was experiencing vocal problems! We also take a trip back to the golden age of metal, talking about discovering bands through album artwork, spending lunch money at record stores, underground imports, Metal Blade, Combat, Roadrunner, and the albums and bands that helped shape Sean's musical tastes. From KISS, Rush, and Ted Nugent to Venom, Celtic Frost, Slayer, Kreator, Merciful Fate, and the legendary 1986 Reign In Blood tour featuring Slayer, Motörhead, and Overkill!
