They Skipped Six Hours of TV—and it still "Made Total Sense"
Chris Akin sits down with Chris “The Professor” Black, the main creative force behind the band Aktor, to discuss their intriguing new conceptual release, Professori Season 2. Black reveals that the album’s detective show concept was inspired by his unlikely pandemic obsession with Scandinavian crime dramas and their recurring cliches, leading to a hilarious realization that the shows are so formulaic you can skip whole seasons! They delve into the challenging process of creating a layered, non-traditional sound that blends psychedelic, prog, and new wave elements, and talk about their collaboration with extreme metal legend Dan Swanö for the mixing.Get commercial-free versions of our episodes, early releases, and exclusive content by subscribing to our premium platforms.We highly recommend our Locals page: https://classicmetalshow.locals.com You can also find us on Rumble: https://rumble.com/premium and Substack: Sponsor: Ratt - THE ATLANTIC YEARS 1984-1991 BOX SET - https://amzn.to/4m0HxkNGet all your favorite CMS Merchandise from our online store: https://classicmetalshow.creator-spring.com/BUY CHRIS AKIN’S BEST BOOKS HERE:Call Me Chris by Chris Akin - https://amzn.to/44TDIZ4 Little Victories by Chris Akin - https://amzn.to/43A143y ...AND OTHER THINGS I SHOULD NOT SAY...
