S.16 E.10 – Shane McCarthy of Wayfarer

Black metal. But make it western. We welcome frontman Shane McCarthy from Colorado-based black metal outfit, Wayfarer. In this episode of IUF, Shane talks about the 11-plus-year journey for the band, leading up to their fifth studio album, titled “American Gothic.” Powerful riffing, bleak melodic sensibilities and visceral songwriting have cemented Wayfarer as one of the modern innovators of the genre. Black metal may have been born in the Scandinavian countries of Northern Europe and the UK, but Wayfarer have now put in a twist of their own from the Western part of the globe. “American Gothic” showcases this creativity in tremendous fashion. In addition, Shane also talks about his love for Metallica and his first-ever experience in seeing the thrash legends in the flesh, and last but not least, his new chapter in life as a newlywed. Tune in now and be sure to buy and stream “American Gothic,” out worldwide on October 27 via Profound Lore Records.
