In episode 450 of Signals From Mars, Victor sits down with John Corabi for a conversation that covers far more than just the usual career retrospective. This is a thoughtful, honest, and wide-ranging discussion with one of hard rock’s most distinctive voices. John opens up about work ethic, longevity, writing music on his own terms, and the mindset that has kept him moving through every phase of his career. The discussion also touches on the spirit behind his new music, how he views albums as complete experiences, and why staying creative matters more than chasing trends.

If you’ve followed John through The Scream, Mötley Crüe, Union, The Dead Daisies, and beyond, there’s plenty here to sink your teeth into. And if this is your first deep dive into his world, this conversation is a strong reminder of why he remains such a respected figure among hard rock fans.

Guitarist Philip Shouse joins Signals From Mars to discuss his first solo EP, Side 1 and the journey that led him to finally release music under his own name. Known for performing alongside artists such as Ace Frehley, Gene Simmons, John Corabi, Accept, and the Rock N Roll Residency, Philip has spent years on stages around the world. With Side 1, he steps into the spotlight as a solo artist and shares the songs that represent his personal musical vision. In this interview, Philip discusses how long he has been working on the material, whether he ever shared the songs with artists he’s collaborated with, and the challenges of being seen as Philip Shouse the artist rather than just the guitarist supporting other legendary performers. We also dive into his experiences playing with members of KISS, the unique environment of The Rock N Roll Residency, and what the future holds with Accept. Philip also shares his long-term plans for his solo music, whether Side 2 may be on the horizon, and where fans can go to purchase Side 1 and support him directly. If you're a fan of hard rock, classic rock guitar, and behind-the-scenes stories from musicians who have shared the stage with legends, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

In Episode 444 of Signals From Mars, I’m joined by Ben and Nuno from A Wilhelm Scream for a wide-ranging conversation that dives into the mindset behind their latest album Cheap Heat, the band’s creative process, and the many layers that make up their sound and identity. Rather than sticking to surface-level promo talk, this interview explores how the band thinks about album construction, influence, environment, collaboration, and longevity—both musically and personally. From unexpected cultural touchstones to the realities of self-producing records, this is a discussion rooted in experience, honesty, and mutual respect.

In Signals From Mars – Episode 443, I’m joined by Kat Keo of Hoaxed to talk about the band’s latest album, Death Knocks, and the evolution of their sound and lineup. We get into the sonic jump you’ll hear on this record, the creative process behind bringing April Dimmick into the fold, how that changed what the band can do musically, and how Death Knocks came together after Two Shadows. We also dig into genre labels (hard rock / heavy metal / gothic rock), the realities of coming from the Pacific Northwest, what it means having Relapse Records behind the band, and—most importantly—where you should buy the album to best support the band directly. If you’re into dark, heavy music with atmosphere and hooks, this one’s for you. #SignalsFromMars #Hoaxed #HeavyMetal Thank you to my patrons: Steven Sailer Steve Hoeker Jeremy Weltman Mike Jones Brad Dahl Mark Strigl Gabriel Ruiz Chris Vaglio Metal Dan Johan Ederström Ed Ferguson Anthony Mackey Toni Espin Sean Richmond Thank you for being so supportive!

In Episode 441 of Signals From Mars, we’re joined by Seattle heavy metal band Greyhawk to discuss their third full-length album, Warriors Of Greyhawk. Since emerging in 2018, Greyhawk has established themselves as one of the most consistently productive and road-tested bands in modern traditional heavy metal, releasing multiple EPs and full-length albums while refining their sound with each release. This conversation focuses on process, evolution, and intent rather than surface-level promotion. We explore how the band approaches songwriting over long stretches of time, how creative chemistry evolves with lineup changes, and whether Warriors Of Greyhawk followed a specific vision or revealed itself naturally during its creation. We also talk about the role of producer Henrik Udd, the importance of bass performance in shaping the album’s identity, and how closely the band collaborated on the album’s striking artwork. Physical media still matters in heavy metal, and Greyhawk shares insight into working with their label to bring Warriors Of Greyhawk to fans on vinyl, CD, and cassette. The discussion touches on Seattle’s deep and varied musical history, including influences that may not be immediately obvious, and wraps up with practical ways fans can support the band directly and stay connected going forward. If you’re interested in how modern heavy metal albums are actually made, this episode delivers a thoughtful, in-depth conversation without giving anything away. 🤘 Support Greyhawk Official Band Links: Bandcamp: https://greyhawkmetal.bandcamp.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/greyhawkmetalFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/greyhawkmetalSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/greyhawk (Purchasing directly from the band is the best way to support them.) 🚀 Follow Signals From Mars Website: https://www.signalsfrommars.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/signalsfrommarsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SignalsFromMarsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/signalsfrommarsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/signalsfrommarsX / Twitter: https://x.com/signalsfrommars Shout out to my patrons: Steven Sailer Steve Hoeker Jeremy Weltman Mike Jones Brad Dahl Mark Strigl Gabriel Ruiz Chris Vaglio Metal Dan Johan Ederström Ed Ferguson Anthony Mackey Toni Espin Sean Richmond Thank you for being so supportive!

Signals From Mars – Episode 440 On Episode 440 of Signals From Mars, Victor is joined by Bones and Rhea of UK heavy metal band Tailgunner to talk about their new album Midnight Blitz and the road that led them there. The conversation explores the band’s collaboration with legendary guitarist KK Downing, how that relationship came together naturally, and what it was like having such a hands-on presence involved in shaping the album. Bones and Rhea also discuss the evolution of Tailgunner since their debut Guns For Hire, balancing classic heavy metal influences with their own identity, and the challenges of building a lineup that truly shares the same vision. The episode also touches on touring, recent shows with Hammerfall, upcoming festival appearances, and what fans can expect when they see Tailgunner live — without giving too much away.
