The Heavy Corner

James Norbert Ivanyi - A trip down memory lane

This episode is on time, dare I say... it's EARLY! This one was an absolute blast to record as I take our guest (the stupidly talented guitarist and drummer!) James Norbert Ivanyi for a trip down memory lane. Yes, that's a very young James behind the drumkit in 2005 when he was in year 12 at the Australian Institute of Music here in Sydney. The photo makes much more sense once you've had a listen - I hope you really enjoy this one!
There's a few weird noises in this one, from some foot taps, thigh slaps and the occasional bustling noises from the great outdoors but I've done my best to edit these out where possible. 
Thanks to Dan G for writing the intro and outro music. Once again, due to a lack of time and planning, I muddled my way through the edits on this one.

Jim Grey, Caligula’s Horse - A Strange History

I'm back! I know it's been a while, but in this episode we discuss getting back on the proverbial horse with none other than Jim Grey of Caligula's Horse. We talk about how Jim discovered his singing voice, the strange history from Arcane to writing with Sam Vallen and starting c-horse, spoken word performances and when the creativity and inspiration dries up.
You'll definitely get a chuckle from this one, so make sure you also check out Jim's podcast The Music in Everything. P.S - that show in Mexico I was talking about was Hypocrisy...

Mat Maurer, Mortal Sin - The Early Days Part 1

In this two-part episode, I chat with Mat Maurer from Mortal Sin (aka my Dad). I grew up hearing all sorts of awesome stories from the good old days in the Sydney metal scene and tour stories from all over Australia and the World. Now it’s time to share some of these stories with you guys… PS special guest appearance from Loki the Golden Retriever.

Cain Cressall, The Amenta - A Fresh Horror

Late last year I had a chat with Cain Cressall from The Amenta. We discussed the audience dynamic, returning to the stage, a horrific behind the scenes story from the Twined Towers video shoot and some of the harsh realities being in the music industry.
