Episode 002: Justin Stubbs of Father Befouled, Encoffination & more

April 09, 2017

Justin Stubbs is a ridiculously prolific musician / band leader / label owner / designer / DIY death metal guy from Atlanta, GA best known for his work with Father Befouled (death metal) and Encoffination (death/doom). He and I have been friends for a long time, before and after my short stint as bassist in the earliest days of Father Befouled. Like a lot of creative people, he always has a bunch of ideas churning around in his head, but what makes him really interesting for this podcast is that unlike most of us, he actually gets an incredible amount of them out of his head and into the world. It was really great to reconnect and talk shop for an hour.
