In this episode, Colin Hendra, singer, guitarist, and founding-member of Wytch Hazel, joins me for wide-ranging conversation on his journey from church halls to leading one of the most distinctive bands in heavy metal today. Colin discusses his early musical education in a free-form academic setting, how it shaped his songwriting, and the surprising ways vocal aerobics tapes helped (and hindered) his singing. We also discuss his stint as a drummer in Eliminator, his college connection with bassist Josh Winnard, and the pivotal moments that shaped Wytch Hazel’s career, including turning down an early record deal and eventually teaming up with Bad Omen Records. Whether you're a fan of the band, a musician yourself, or just love a good heavy metal origin story, Colin brings insight, humour, and heart. New album V: Lamentations “drops” this Friday, July 4th.   Follow me:    @feckinmetalcast on Twitter https://x.com/feckinmetalcast  @feckinmetal on BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/feckinmetal.bsky.social    Connect with Wytch Hazel:   https://wytchhazel.com/
