The RIP a Livecast's Beyond The Band puts a spotlight on the people that work behind the scenes to bring you the music you love. From techs, to A&R, we hope to spotlight all the different vocations that support heavy metal.
This time around, we spoke with Alex Markides. Alex works as a sound engineer and tour manager for bands like Periphery, Animals As Leaders and Whitechapel. In the last couple of years, Alex has been touring the world earning the respect of bands and crew alike. We talk to Alex about some of his touring experiences, the art of good sound and he gives advice to listeners looking to get into the engineering side of the music business.
