Today I am joined by drummer and guitarist Stephen Schwegler. I first became aware of Steve through his drumming in the band Pyrrhon, a chaotic and cutting edge death metal band from Philly. Pyrrhon are something of a scene unto themselves, as each of the band’s members extend into similarly mind bending projects. Steve’s project along these lines is Seputus, a collaboration with Pyrrhon vocalist Doug Moore. Seputus just released their second album,  Phantom Indigo, a dense psychedelic death metal record inspired in part by the book Hallucinations by Oliver Sacks. I had recently picked up the very same book off the street in Brooklyn, so I was psyched to give it a read and talk to Steve about his new record, as well as his background in engineering, the inspiration he draws from movies and much more. Thank you for listening.
