Metal Reflections
We dive into metal music, to the creation of certain releases and times and the more unexplored sides of the coin of band, live and studio productions and all what’s related to a musician’s/artist’s mindset and life. The guests will be artists who I’ve crossed paths with or who’s work I’m particularly familiar with or interested in. Video versions of the episodes now on Spotify and on my YouTube channel.
Jarkko Lunnas is founder, principal songwriter/drummer/producer of Finnish band Damnation Plan and designer/cinematographer.
