Audio Interview: Catching Up with Cauldron's Jason Decay and Ian Chains
Guardians of the good ol' classic metal sound, Toronto, Canada-based Cauldron have been going places of late.
Following the April 30 North American release of their third studio album, Tomorrow's Lost via Earache/Century Media, they toured with Diamond Head and did a headline run of their own, after which they made an appearance at Metallica's Orion Music + More fest in Detroit.
At the band's Los Angeles show last month, I sat down the vocalist/bassist Jason Decay and guitarist Ian Chains to talk touring, new album, gear, production and more. Listen to the 12-minute chat below, and visit Cauldron on Facebook.
