This episode we welcome Ed Levitsky of The Anchoret to talk about the band's debut album, It All Began with Loneliness. He shares how he channeled his feelings of isolation and sadness during the pandemic into an outlet for creating the progressive metal record he always dreamed of. Ed also discussed what goes into his writing process, how his Dad influenced his love of prog music, what it's been like to bond with musicians from around the world, how he signed with Willowtip Records and why he can never have enough saxophone in metal.

After the interview, Ed helps us break down news, new releases and what we've been listening to. Plus, we turn back the clocks to a time before we were metalheads to count down our Top 5 Albums that Led us to Metal.
