Death Etiquette: The Gift of Atomic Witch

Jeff and Ben had a blast interviewing Greg Martinis (Vocals) and Dave McJunkins (Bass) of the killer Cleveland-based progressive death-thrash metal band Atomic Witch. We begin with the guys discussing how they got into heavy music, playing in bands, and doing shows in the Cleveland hardcore and metal scenes. We share our mutual love for pro wrestling and its connections to metal--a theme that appears a few times during the interview. Next, we deep dive into the band's latest record, the absolutely pummeling and riff ripping "Death Etiquette"--Ben's #24 album of 2025--released on Redefining Records. We end by picking our top 3 bands with witch in their name. So sit back, listen on your favorite podcast platform, and enjoy a Season of the Witch Hazy IPA from True North Ale Company
