The Vanflip Podcast

Alex Vakartzas is probably most known for his time spent in one of the most notable early 2000s metalcore / "mallcore scene kid" bands, Atreyu. Alex spent over 20 years in that group, releasing classics such as their debut LP "Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses" in 2002 and (in our opinion) most notably "The Curse" which followed their debut. For one reason of another Alex and the band split, which we discussed, and after a few years away from music Alex has returned in a new heavier project, Dead Icarus. We also talked about his hobbies, such as painting and pop art, training martial arts, and dogs.Video version: http://www.lambgoat.com/podcast/FOR MORE ON DEAD ICARUS:https://www.instagram.com/deadicarusmusichttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090684643409https://www.tiktok.com/@deadicarusmusichttps://deadicarus.net/FOLLOW LURK:https://www.instagram.com/lurkcity/https://www.twitter.com/lurkcity/https://www.iamlurk.com/FOLLOW LAMBGOAT:https://www.instagram.com/lambgoat/https://www.twitter.com/lambgoat/https://www.facebook.com/lambgoatmusic/https://www.lambgoat.comSubscribe / Stream "The Vanflip Podcast" on:iTunes/Apple: http://bit.ly/iTunesVFPodcastSpotify: http://bit.ly/SpotifyVFPodcastStitcher Radio: http://bit.ly/StitcherVFPodcastTuneIn: http://bit.ly/TuneinVFPodcastGoogle Play Music: http://bit.ly/GPMVFPodcastRSS Feed: http://bit.ly/RssVFPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Cannibal Corpse was formed in Buffalo, NY in 1988. Bassist Alex Webster is one of two original members, the other being drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz, from that lineup still in the band. In almost 40 years the legendary death metal band has released 15 studio albums, a few live albums, and a handful of EPs. For a band, much less a death metal band, Cannibal Corpse has accomplished what most wish to and Alex along with the rest of the band have no intentions of stopping any time soon. In 2021, the group released album 15, Violence Unimagined, and the death metal purveyors are unveiling their 16th album, Chaos Horriffic, in two days (09/22/23) while embarking on yet another tour.Video version: http://www.lambgoat.com/podcast/FOR MORE ON CANNIBAL COPRSE:https://www.instagram.com/cannibalcorpseofficialhttps://twitter.com/corpseofficialhttps://www.facebook.com/cannibalcorpsehttp://www.cannibalcorpse.net/FOLLOW LURK:https://www.instagram.com/lurkcity/https://www.twitter.com/lurkcity/https://www.iamlurk.com/FOLLOW LAMBGOAT:https://www.instagram.com/lambgoat/https://www.twitter.com/lambgoat/https://www.facebook.com/lambgoatmusic/https://www.lambgoat.comSubscribe / Stream "The Vanflip Podcast" on:iTunes/Apple: http://bit.ly/iTunesVFPodcastSpotify: http://bit.ly/SpotifyVFPodcastStitcher Radio: http://bit.ly/StitcherVFPodcastTuneIn: http://bit.ly/TuneinVFPodcastGoogle Play Music: http://bit.ly/GPMVFPodcastRSS Feed: http://bit.ly/RssVFPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
