The Knotfest Roundtable of Daniel DeKay, Cori Westbrook, Alicia Atout and Ryan J. Downey have again convened for a discussion on all things current in the world of heavy music.
For the most recent edition, the panel digs into a few newly announced tours and festivals that feature veterans of the genre, including Hatebreed's 20th anniversary tour of their seminal Perseverance album and the return of Deftones multi-genre daylong festival in Dia De Los Deftones.
The panel further dig into the diversity of the line up of the latter, but not before delving into the influence of Hatebreed's 2002 opus - an album that truly paved the way for hardcore music and metal to find a lasting intersection. As usual, the guys discuss their favorite current tracks, as well as their most hyped tour and fest announcements of the past week.
