Vox&Hops Metal Podcast19- Sven de Caluwé (Aborted)
A conversation about creating and enjoying Hell Over Europe 2, being Belgian and not being a fan of hoppy beer, how he discovered and experiments with his voice, being in a band with a bunch of "metal nerds", the best and worst parts of touring and how he handled the ups and downs during Aborted's career.
Since Sven is not a fan of craft beer and I know he enjoys cider I decided to make an exception and we drank Bulmers' original cider.

Vox&Hops Metal Podcast17- Julien Truchan (Benighted)
A conversation about being out on the amazing Hell Over Europe 2 tour (Aborted, Cryptopsy, Benighted & Cytotoxin), learning how to drink beer after rugby practice, the similarities between being on a rugby team & being in a death metal band, where he discovered his death metal voices, his job at home as a nurse at a hospital in the psychiatric ward and how to mourn past band members who had to leave Benighted for personal reasons.
The beer which we drank during this interview was Azimut's American IPA. Which is a local craft beer brewery from Bordeaux, France.
