Hey yo, it’s Mario Lochert on the newest episode of We Talk Music. And he’s on the air and in your ear with your hosts Mo and the King of the Casters, Mr. Brett Podcast.

Mario Lochert is the bassist and founder of the German power metal band Serious Black, who’s new studio album, Suite 226, is out now and available everywhere.

This is a lot of fun as Mario has a sly sense of humor that caught your normally adaptable hosts way off guard. Take a listen to hear that as well as other topics such as:

• The theme of mental health that the songs of Suite 226 address
• Which songs are outliers to that album theme
• The toll writing and singing the lyrics took on vocalist Urban Breed
• Urban Breed’s charisma
• Tour and set list plans
• How the very cool When the Stars are Right music video came together
• Keeping it light even when you are Serious Black
• The Heavy Metal scene in Germany and the rest of Europe
• Looking back at the acoustic album First Light

All this, plus the strange Case of Mario Lochert’s  age. This podcast is a good one folks, and that’s a promise from We Talk Music to you.
