EXMORTUS - Jadran "Conan" Gonzalez on Tolkien, Dune, and exploring new creative ground

One of the most underrated metal bands out there, California's Exmortus bring it with their shred-tastic brand of thrash with every record and show. Blending thrash and melodic death metal upon a fantasy based landscape, they are not a band to be missed!
Jadran "Conan" Gonzalez sat down with us to talk about his influences, from The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings, Frank Frazetta, and high fantasy to science fiction classics like Dune. And of course Manowar!

Exmortus is the greatest,from In Hatreds Flame to Necrophony not a skipped song

[@mvunit3]

Well hell . . .
I'd love to hear some concepts of DUNE, and "Elric" in lyrical content from Exmortus. And Album Cover Art to match!
There have been quite a few bands doing both, but always awesome to hear each bands take on both storylines (and Art to match) \m/.

Agreed!!!
