From sharing stages with The Rolling Stones, Muse, and The Cult to landing music across UFC, WWE, blockbuster films, and major video game franchises, Des Rocs has quietly built one of the most compelling stories in modern rock. But behind the explosive live performances, leather-clad swagger, and cinematic sound is a journey marked by setbacks, uncertainty, industry struggles, and a serious health scare that nearly changed everything.

In this episode, Des Rocs opens up about the making of the upcoming album To Hell And Back and the years of pressure, frustration, and personal growth that shaped it. The conversation dives into recording the album live to capture its raw intensity, battling through a painful spinal condition during the process, and searching for something timeless in an era where authenticity can feel increasingly rare.

We also discuss the changing landscape of rock music, building a loyal audience from the ground up, the impact of hearing his music featured by UFC and WWE, collaborating with Zayn, and why the spirit of rock ‘n’ roll still matters now more than ever. At its core, this is a conversation about creative obsession, survival, and continuing to push forward when the odds say otherwise.
