Scott here from Chernobyl Studios and today I'm sitting down with Mendel bij de Leij, an amazing composer and guitarist. You may know him from his stint with ABORTED, or from his solo guitar and compositional work. Anyway, he's hilarious, and we're going to talk about metal, guitars, touring, music, and what it's like to try and get some sleep in Japan.

Enjoy!
