I just got off the phone with Zack. What a nice guy!!! We had a 25 minute interview, and he touched upon a bunch of different things: how this project came to life, how Richard Chyki got involved and how it led to MM being invited, his influeces, touring plans, the Neve console...I will transcribe it, and once it´s publised in Lotsofmuzik, we´ll post the link here. One spolier I could give you is what he said about Mangini: he´s super prepared, and came into the recording sessions with not one, not two or three, but FIVE different suggestions of fills for each part of the album.
Gzarruk, I asked him your questions! And I cannot thank MinistroRaven enough for putting me in contact with all the musicians I´ve been interviewing recently. It started off with the interview with Derek for the release of Psychotic Symphony, and we´ve done a lot in the past few months!
