Episode 113 - Focus on Shok Paris

Get/Stream Episode 113 Here

This one's a very strange tale. Who would think that when two knuckleheads call out a legendary vocalist on some podcast that they would ever hear a peep. Imagine our surprise when an email from legendary Shok Paris/Aftershok vocalist Vic Hix rolled in and he wanted to come on Focus on Metal and let the world know what they've been up to. The timing couldn't have been better as the band is getting ready to release some new music upon the metal world. So get ready for a hearty dose of Vic

Our track of the week is from Arctic Flame. They just released their fourth full length album "Shake The Earth" and we want you to hear a bit of it. Check out more about the band at
