My guest this week is Belgium's own Sander Rom!

Sander is a fantastic songwriter, guitarist and singer and I love him to death. He's the leader of the Mechelen scene's L'itch and, until recently (one week post recording this interview, one fifth of the EU supergroup known as Hippotraktor.

Available on Pelagic Records, Hippotraktor features members of L'itch and Psychonaut. The band is known for soaring hooks, technical riffing and earth-shattering breakdowns. Their new album releases June 7th, 2024 and it's progressive metal of the highest order. L'itch is an monster of an alternative band and is Sander's most important pet, with a new record releasing soon. I've heard it and it's unbelievably good. I can't wait to share more when the time is right.

Reiterating, Sander has all the bells and whistles in his musical repertoire and he's a fantastic human. Maybe the best ever. He is so clearly aware of his surroundings, he's inspiring, and above all, he's kind. We could all do better like Sander.

Please enjoy our wonderful conversation, completely unedited and ready for consumption. If you're seeking answers and a connection to the truth, this show will help you find the way.
