Michael Amott (Arch Enemy)

A conversation about his musical upbringings, what he was like in high school, his first guitar, how he discovered music, his first concerts, if he is a craft beer enthusiast, how he goes about writing riffs, how those riffs turn into new songs, which tour he would love to re-live, what album would he give his 12 year old self, how he felt when Angela left, click-bait headlines on metal news sites & his advice for young metal bands.

This interview was recorded at Le Saint-Bock Brasserie Artisanale, one of Montreal`s premier taprooms. Throughout the interview I drank St-Bock's "Saison Mangues Chardo", a sour saison made with Mangos & aged in Chardonay casks. Michael was hoping for a coffee...but sadly their coffee machine was out of order.

Come out and celebrate Vox&Hops' 1 Year Anniversary with me, some of the Vox&Hops' Alumni & other Vox&Hops' Heads on October 26th at Turbo Haüs in Montreal, Quebec, Canada!!!! I have brewed a NEIPA called "Highway to Hops" in collaboration with Microbrasserie Le Fermentor, will be selling the first Vox&Hops 9oz Glassware & will be conducting the very first live Vox&Hops interview with Cryptopsy's original vocalist, the one, the only, LORD WORM!!!!
