Have You Heard - AAerial - a podcast by Atxmetalpodcast

This band is the culmination of 2 side projects with a splash of Nashville.  AAerial is a 4 piece metal band from Austin, TX. As they put it "Their music fuses a style of aggressive metal and ambient electronics. An auditory hallucination weaving together hopeful melodies and dark lyrics that surround the core of one's will to survive".

Originally from Istanbul, Turkey and coming here when he was 8 years old, his mother came to America to setup a home for him when she deemed ready and he stayed behind with his father .  After some time in Florida as a young child, he moved out to Nashville and shortly after that, he ventured to Austin to chase his music career.  He goes over his time in Nashville and a little background info on his music related happenings while there.

Roman came to Austin after his band in Nashville had to go on hiatus.  He tells a story about seeing Power Trip, one of Texas's top bands that hail from Dallas, TX and actually meeting and talking to Riley which helped push him to follow his dream.

Once he arrived in Austin, he did the normal "get a job and do adult things" prior to searching for a new band to join.  He found a vocalist opening for AAerial in late 2017 on BandMix, which is as he puts it "Tinder for musicians".  As a part of most band try outs, they gotta see the goods.  So what better way that the "in car sound test" except in this scenario, Roman was basically screaming the track in the car with the guys in the car with him.  Talk about a job interview.  Ryan and Roman go on about current events such as new music, up coming releases and The Noize Faktory Live Sessions.
