        <description><![CDATA[Bringing The Darkness To The Light with Catherine Nadal

Shaun Murphy on Brand New Blues, Legendary Collaborations, and a Life in Music
Guest, Shaun Murphy, American Blues and R&#x26;B Singer-Songwriter 

Catherine Nadal Welcomes Shaun Murphy

In this episode of Bringing the Darkness to the Light, host Catherine Nadal welcomes Shaun Murphy, an American blues and R&#x26;B singer-songwriter known for her powerful vocal style. Catherine explains that she was introduced to Shaun through her cousin Tommy Del Rossi, who has played drums on several of Shaun’s albums and produced her most recent album in his new home studio. Shaun describes recording at Tommy’s studio, Coming Soon Sounds, praising his professionalism, ideas, and ability to help the project come together smoothly.

Recording with Tommy Del Rossi at Coming Soon Sounds

Shaun says the band originally had been recording elsewhere but decided to move the project to Tommy’s home studio, where everything “gelled.” She describes the studio as a meaningful new chapter for Tommy and says the musicians were excited for him while hoping to keep him as their drummer. Catherine reflects on how common home studios have become in Nashville and how fortunate Tommy was to find a home that could support that kind of professional recording setup.

Working with Eric Clapton, Bob Seger, and Phil Collins

Catherine then walks through Shaun’s impressive career, noting her work with major artists including Little Feat, Bob Seger, Meat Loaf, Eric Clapton, the Moody Blues, Herbie Hancock, Phil Collins, Glenn Frey, and Joe Walsh. Shaun says she especially remembers touring and recording with Eric Clapton, including performing at Live Aid, where the roar of the crowd during “Layla” was so physically powerful that the musicians stepped back in shock. She also reflects on working with Bob Seger for decades and on recording Behind the Sun with Clapton, where Phil Collins produced with remarkable focus and efficiency.

Stories of Alice Cooper, Michael Bolton, Glenn Frey, and Joe Walsh

Shaun shares several colorful memories from her career. She recalls singing background vocals on Alice Cooper’s Hey Stoopid sessions and taking a break when Alice brought rattlesnakes into the control room. She discusses knowing Michael Bolton since the early 1980s, when his band opened for Seger, and remembers receiving demos of his future hits. Shaun also talks about working with Glenn Frey and Joe Walsh, describing Joe’s habit of buying children’s toys at gas stations during bus tours to use as humorous stage props.

Little Feat, Theater, Meat Loaf, and the Path to a Solo Career

When Catherine asks who encouraged Shaun’s solo career, Shaun points to Little Feat, with whom she worked for many years and whose members encouraged her songwriting. She explains that she had originally started as a solo artist and later spent time in theater, including the Detroit production of Hair, where she unexpectedly encountered Meat Loaf, who already knew her from festival appearances. Shaun says she later performed in Hair on Broadway and in Washington, D.C., briefly thinking she might become an actress before music ultimately won out.

The Songs: “Mama’s Home,” “Brand New Blues,” and “Killing Time”

Catherine and Shaun discuss several songs from the new album. Shaun says “Mama’s Home” came from her friend Jay Edwards, whose voice she compares to a Chris Stapleton-like sound and whose songwriting she admires. She explains that “Brand New Blues” came from Doug Jones and Roger Mason, who created the song using AI as a demo tool; Shaun liked it so much that she replaced one of her own songs with it and named the album after it. Shaun also discusses “Killing Time,” written by Chris Anderson of The Outlaws, describing it as a sad breakup song about someone trapped in heartbreak while time passes.

AI, Social Media, Signs, and the New Album Release

Catherine asks Shaun about changes in the music business, including AI, streaming, and social media. Shaun says AI can be useful for demos, especially for lyricists who do not play instruments, but she would not release a finished AI-generated recording as her own single. She also sees value in social media helping songs spread quickly, while warning that it can become dangerous without guardrails. Shaun reflects on early family music influences, theater, stage confidence, and the signs that helped guide her career. Near the close, she says the new record was still being finalized, with a presale underway, and notes that the album comes out May 25.

Closing with “I’m Gonna Take the Money”

Catherine closes the interview by asking about “I’m Gonna Take the Money,” written by Darrell Burgess, Joanna Cotton, and Angie Russell. Shaun explains that the song began with a more country feel, but the band steered it toward blues rock. She shares where listeners can find her online, including Facebook, her private group Shaun Murphy, Her Life in Music, X as Shaun Murphy Band, and YouTube as Shaun Murphy Band. The episode ends with the song playing out and the program’s closing credits.]]></description>

Guest John Torra - Lead Vocalist of Fire ‘N Ice

John Torra on Classic Rock Roots, Building a Band, and Bringing Glam Metal Back to the Stage

Catherine Nadal Welcomes John Torra of Fire ‘N Ice

In this episode of Bringing the Darkness to the Light, host Catherine Nadal welcomes John Torra, lead vocalist of Fire ‘N Ice. Catherine recalls seeing the band perform live at Dingbatz, where they appeared on a bill that included Ray West from Spread Eagle, and remembers being immediately struck by their crowd interaction and energy. She explains that the interview will introduce the band, promote its new album High Roller, and explore how John first became involved with music and eventually helped build Fire ‘N Ice.

Discovering Guitar, Singing, and the Sound of the ’80s

John says his musical journey began when he received his first guitar at age 13, initially inspired by guitar heroes such as Jimmy Page and Keith Richards. By age 15, he discovered that he could sing as well, eventually realizing music was the career he wanted to pursue. A turning point came when his father introduced him to Van Halen, while his uncle exposed him to bands including Cinderella, Dokken, and Ratt. John says he became fascinated by the visual style, high-energy performance, leather, teased hair, flashy guitar work, and celebratory spirit of the glam metal and hard rock scene.

Family Influence and Developing His Voice

John explains that music was already part of his family history. His father had been a drummer in bands influenced by Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Journey, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, and other classic hard rock acts. When John began playing, his father returned to the drums so they could jam together. John also credits his uncle as a brutally honest vocal mentor who pushed him to improve without formal lessons. Describing himself as something of a “parrot,” John says his childhood ability to imitate cartoon characters helped him learn to reproduce different vocal sounds, from the rasp of Tom Keifer to higher or more nasal styles associated with singers such as Sebastian Bach, Don Dokken, and Vince Neil. Over time, he worked to move beyond imitation and identify his own voice.

How Fire ‘N Ice Came Together

John describes the formation of Fire ‘N Ice as a determined effort to find musicians who shared his commitment to the music and image he loved. Frustrated by the limited original rock scene on Long Island, he posted an ad online and was contacted by musicians in New Jersey interested in bands such as Van Halen, Y&#x26;T, Cinderella, and Sweet. Although the first lineup did not last, John stayed in contact with bassist Mark and later connected with guitarist Shane and drummer Mike. When the four finally rehearsed together in January 2023, their first song was a cover of “Shout at the Devil.” John says the chemistry was immediate, especially after hearing Mike’s Tommy Lee-inspired drumming, and the band recognized that it had found its sound.

From Hypnotized to High Roller

The band’s first release was a four-song EP called Hypnotized, featuring “Rock This Night,” “Escape into the Night,” “Lust for Love,” and the title track. John explains that the EP was largely recorded and produced by the band themselves as an early demonstration of their style. After listeners responded positively and the group began playing frequent live shows, they decided to record a full album. The resulting album, High Roller, took about a year to complete and was recorded with producer Beto, who repeatedly challenged the band to improve each performance until the recording matched their vision. John says the album draws inspiration from the polished hard rock sound of bands such as Dokken, Cinderella, Quiet Riot, Winger, Skid Row, Aerosmith, and Van Halen.

Songs, Live Shows, and Coming Home

John discusses several songs from High Roller during the interview. The title track grew from drummer Mike’s interest in dice, casinos, and New York–New Jersey crime-film imagery, becoming a song about a reckless gambler living dangerously. “Don’t You Cry,” written largely by Mark, showcases the band’s ability to feature more than one lead singer and became a melodic, audience-friendly ballad. “Lust for Love,” the first full song John wrote with the band, began with feelings from a difficult past relationship but was shaped into a more universal song about painful love. John closes by discussing “Coming Home,” which he wrote about long drives, late nights, rehearsals, shows, recording sessions, and being away from family and loved ones while traveling between Long Island and New Jersey. He also promotes upcoming Whiskey a Go Go performances with Dokken, Steelheart, and Slaughter, saying Fire ‘N Ice intends to keep working, supporting the scene, and moving toward the next level.]]></description>

Catherine Nadal Welcomes John Torra of Fire ‘N Ice

In this episode of Bringing the Darkness to the Light, host Catherine Nadal welcomes John Torra, lead vocalist of Fire ‘N Ice. Catherine recalls seeing the band perform live at Dingbatz, where they appeared on a bill that included Ray West from Spread Eagle, and remembers being immediately struck by their crowd interaction and energy. She explains that the interview will introduce the band, promote its new album High Roller, and explore how John first became involved with music and eventually helped build Fire ‘N Ice.

Discovering Guitar, Singing, and the Sound of the ’80s

John says his musical journey began when he received his first guitar at age 13, initially inspired by guitar heroes such as Jimmy Page and Keith Richards. By age 15, he discovered that he could sing as well, eventually realizing music was the career he wanted to pursue. A turning point came when his father introduced him to Van Halen, while his uncle exposed him to bands including Cinderella, Dokken, and Ratt. John says he became fascinated by the visual style, high-energy performance, leather, teased hair, flashy guitar work, and celebratory spirit of the glam metal and hard rock scene.

Family Influence and Developing His Voice

John explains that music was already part of his family history. His father had been a drummer in bands influenced by Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Journey, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Ozzy Osbourne, and other classic hard rock acts.

Guest, Mike Krompass from The Fell - the Creative Fire Behind a Modern Rock Sound

Introducing Mike Krompass and The Fell

In this episode of Bringing the Darkness to the Light, host Catherine Nadal welcomes Mike Krompass, guitarist for the band The Fell, as well as a multi-platinum producer, songwriter, mixer, engineer, multi-instrumentalist, and music executive. Catherine explains that she recently saw The Fell perform in Liverpool, New York, at the start of their tour and became an immediate fan of the band’s energy, sound, and songwriting. She especially praises the song “Footprints,” describing it as the kind of track she can play repeatedly without wanting to turn it off.

A Lifelong Musician with a Wide Range of Influences

Mike explains that he started playing guitar at four years old and knew from a young age that music was what he wanted to do. He recalls seeing Michael Jackson in concert as a child and being inspired by guitarist Jennifer Batten, while also growing up with a wide range of musical influences including funk, disco, metal, progressive rock, R&#x26;B, the Beatles, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind &#x26; Fire, Extreme, Mr. Big, Dokken, Dio, and Michael Jackson. Although his parents were not musicians, he was influenced by musical figures in his extended family and later learned a great deal from guitarists, drummers, music stores, studios, and working musicians around him.

From Toronto to Los Angeles, Nashville, the UK, and Back

Mike describes growing up in Toronto and eventually moving to Los Angeles to pursue his rock-star dreams. Although that path did not unfold exactly as he imagined, Los Angeles opened doors into film, television, songwriting, production, and working with pop, country, and rock artists. He also spent years moving between Los Angeles and Nashville, where he became immersed in the songwriting culture and appreciated the respect Nashville gives to songwriters. After time in the UK, he returned to Toronto, carrying with him a broad international career shaped by persistence, adaptability, and a refusal to limit himself to one genre or role.

How The Fell Came Together

The conversation turns to the formation of The Fell. Mike says the project began because he wanted to reconnect with his own musical passion after years of producing and writing for other artists. He wanted to create rock music for himself, with guitar solos and songs that came from his own roots. He reached out to Billy Sheehan, who quickly responded and suggested they start a band rather than simply work as hired players. Mike was also working with singer Toby Rand, whose voice, songwriting, stage presence, and modern rock energy helped complete the core sound. Although the project was delayed for years because of other commitments, Mike says the chemistry between himself, Billy, and Toby was the magic that eventually brought The Fell back together.

Footprints, Trippin, and the Band’s Sound

Catherine and Mike discuss several songs from The Fell, beginning with “Footprints,” which Mike says was one of the earliest songs written with Toby Rand and was intended to have a mainstream radio feel with a strong hook. He also talks about the video, which was shot in a World War II-era bunker in Poland and later reworked with footage from other videos. They then discuss “Trippin,” which Mike says has a different feel and hints of Faith No More influence, especially in the chorus melody. Mike explains that while the songs may sound different from one another, they share a sonic identity through the drum sounds, large guitar tones, and the focus on strong songwriting beneath the rock production.

Producing, Touring, and What Comes Next

The final portion explores Mike’s production skills, the practical advantage of being able to record drums, guitars, bass sketches, and vocals in his own studio, and his effort not to overproduce The Fell so the band can still sound authentic live. He discusses drummer Nick’s role as the newest band member, the group’s early tour dates, plans for overseas shows, and the importance of building awareness through live performances and streaming numbers. Mike also talks about his companies, including Noise Nation X, Noise Nation Records, and BCMG Recordings, which work in music licensing, film and television placements, artist development, and catalog representation. The episode closes with Catherine encouraging listeners to follow Mike and The Fell, then rolling out with the band’s song “Kill Switch.”]]></description>

Guest, Mike Krompass from The Fell - the Creative Fire Behind a Modern Rock Sound

Introducing Mike Krompass and The Fell

In this episode of Bringing the Darkness to the Light, host Catherine Nadal welcomes Mike Krompass, guitarist for the band The Fell, as well as a multi-platinum producer, songwriter, mixer, engineer, multi-instrumentalist, and music executive. Catherine explains that she recently saw The Fell perform in Liverpool, New York, at the start of their tour and became an immediate fan of the band’s energy, sound, and songwriting. She especially praises the song “Footprints,” describing it as the kind of track she can play repeatedly without wanting to turn it off.

A Lifelong Musician with a Wide Range of Influences

Mike explains that he started playing guitar at four years old and knew from a young age that music was what he wanted to do. He recalls seeing Michael Jackson in concert as a child and being inspired by guitarist Jennifer Batten, while also growing up with a wide range of musical influences including funk, disco, metal, progressive rock, RandB, the Beatles, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind and Fire, Extreme, Mr. Big, Dokken, Dio, and Michael Jackson. Although his parents were not musicians, he was influenced by musical figures in his extended family and later learned a great deal from guitarists, drummers, music stores, studios, and working musicians around him.

From Toronto to Los Angeles, Nashville, the UK, and Back

Mike describes growing up in Toronto and eventually moving to Los Angeles to pursue his rock-star dreams. Although that path did not unfold exactly as he imagined, Los Angeles opened doors into film, television, songwriting, production, and working with pop, country, and rock artists. He also spent years moving between Los Angeles and Nashville, where he became immersed in the songwriting culture and appreciated the respect Nashville gives to songwriters. After time in the UK, he returned to Toronto, carrying with him a broad international career shaped by persistence, adaptability, and a refusal to limit himself to one genre or role.

How The Fell Came Together

The conversation turns to the formation of The Fell. Mike says the project began because he wanted to reconnect with his own musical passion after years of producing and writing for other artists. He wanted to create rock music for himself, with guitar solos and songs that came from his own roots. He reached out to Billy Sheehan, who quickly responded and suggested they start a band rather than simply work as hired players. Mike was also working with singer Toby Rand, whose voice, songwriting, stage presence, and modern rock energy helped complete the core sound. Although the project was delayed for years because of other commitments, Mike says the chemistry between himself, Billy, and Toby was the magic that eventually brought The Fell back together.

Footprints, Trippin, and the Band’s Sound

Catherine and Mike discuss several songs from The Fell, beginning with “Footprints,” which Mike says was one of the earliest songs written with Toby Rand and was intended to have a mainstream radio feel with a strong hook. He also talks about the video, which was shot in a World War II-era bunker in Poland and later reworked with footage from other videos. They then discuss “Trippin,” which Mike says has a different feel and hints of Faith No More influence, especially in the chorus melody. Mike explains that while the songs may sound different from one another, they share a sonic identity through the drum sounds, large guitar tones, and the focus on strong songwriting beneath the rock production.

Producing, Touring, and What Comes Next

The final portion explores Mike’s production skills, the practical advantage of being able to record drums, guitars, bass sketches, and vocals in his own studio, and his effort not to overproduce The Fell so the band can still sound authentic live. He discusses drummer Nick’s role as the newest band member, the group’s early tour dates, plans for overseas shows, and the importance of building awareness through live performances and streaming numbers. Mike also talks about his companies, including Noise Nation X, Noise Nation Records, and BCMG Recordings, which work in music licensing, film and television placements, artist development, and catalog representation. The episode closes with Catherine encouraging listeners to follow Mike and The Fell, then rolling out with the band’s song “Kill Switch.”]]></media:description>

The Artistic Journey of Michael Saint and Scarhaven
Guest, Michael Saint from Scarhaven

This interview features Michael Saint, the lead vocalist of the rock band Scarhaven, discussing his unconventional path from nursing and acting schools to becoming a rising figure in the hard rock scene. He explores the emotional depths of his songwriting, the band's formation during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their upcoming plans for a major EP release.

The Evolution of a Creative "Black Sheep"
Michael Saint’s path to music was far from linear. Initially pursuing a nursing degree at the University of Pittsburgh, he felt an irrepressible "creative fire" that led him to acting school at Stella Adler and later to film school in New York. The 2020 lockdown served as a pivotal turning point; returning to his family home, he taught himself guitar and began practicing vocals through private karaoke sessions in his car. This period of isolation allowed him to transition from a shy individual hiding behind acting roles to a vulnerable, honest frontman.

The Sound and Soul of Scarhaven
The band Scarhaven emerged from a partnership between Michael and bassist Jared Edson, eventually expanding to include guitarist Matt Kilroy and drummer Alex "Shap" Shapiro. The name "Scarhaven" reflects the idea that everyone carries "scars" from life's experiences and needs a "haven" to connect with those moments. While Michael grew up listening to his mother's '70s R&#x26;B and soul records—citing the Bee Gees and Elton John as early influences—his current sound is frequently compared to the '90s grunge era, specifically the vocal prowess of Chris Cornell and Soundgarden.

Lyrical Themes and Emotional Depth
Michael views songwriting and poetry as a form of therapy, drawing inspiration from poets like Charles Bukowski and Sylvia Plath. His lyrics often tackle heavy, universal emotions:

    "I'm Not Dead Yet": Written in 2023 during the illness of his nanny (a second mother figure), the song is a defiant anthem against being "written off" by others.

    "Changing": Inspired by the film The Lost Boys, it explores the dual nature of growth and the risk of transforming into something "ugly" if one isn't careful.

    "Drowned": A reflection on the profound loneliness one can feel even when surrounded by loved ones or friends.

Industry Recognition and Future Outlook
Scarhaven has recently gained significant momentum, signing with a new rock label at Riser House in Nashville. Working with producer Jim Kaufman and A&#x26;R Jason Martin, the band is focusing on building a distinct visual brand through music videos directed by Matt Elkanah. Michael attributes their rapid progress to a "come to Jesus moment" where they received and implemented critical professional advice to refine their performance and professional approach.

Michael Saint’s journey underscores the power of late-blooming creativity and the importance of authenticity. By embracing his "black sheep" status and channeling personal grief and isolation into a powerful grunge-inspired sound, he and Scarhaven have created a "haven" for listeners to process their own scars through the medium of hard rock.]]></description>

Guest, Mark Zonder

In this insightful interview, Mark Zonder, the legendary drummer of Warlord and Fates Warning, discusses the band's 1980s origins, his transition into a successful studio owner, and the emotional drive behind keeping Warlord active following the passing of co-founder Bill Tsamis. The conversation highlights the band's uncompromising musical philosophy and their highly anticipated return to North American stages.

The Genesis of Warlord and the Legacy of Bill Tsamis
Mark Zonder recounts the early 1980s formation of Warlord alongside the late Bill Tsamis. The duo spent their formative year jamming in a freezing, stone-walled automobile bay to develop a signature sound that blended the influences of Rainbow, Black Sabbath, and Uriah Heep. Despite the hardships of the "Warlord Manor" era—including a revolving door of singers and financial instability—Zonder and Tsamis maintained a relationship built on total mutual respect and a shared vision. Following Tsamis's passing nearly five years ago, Zonder has committed to fulfilling Bill’s final wish: to keep the music alive through live performances that honor the original compositions.

From Rehearsal "Dump" to Professional Studio
Zonder's career is marked by a shrewd transition into the business side of music. He transformed a dilapidated 6,000-square-foot building in North Hollywood into a premier recording facility. Originally a rehearsal hub for iconic 90s acts like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Alanis Morissette, the studio eventually evolved into a specialized 10-room complex catering to rap, hip-hop, and R&#x26;B production. This "golden goose" has provided Zonder with the financial independence to pursue his musical passions without relying on session work, allowing him to maintain the integrity of his creative output.

Musical Evolution and Iconic Tracks
The interview explores the meticulous craft behind Warlord’s discography. Zonder highlights "Lucifer's Hammer" as the band's definitive opener, noted for its powerful nuclear-themed lyrics and theatrical intro. He also discusses "Aliens," a track that demonstrated the band's progression toward a "heavy pop" structure. Zonder emphasizes the band's dedication to authenticity, such as recording the sound of real plates being smashed at a high-end studio rather than using digital samples. Throughout their history, the focus remained on the composition itself, treating the vocals as a melodic instrument rather than a vehicle for rockstar ego.

The 2026 North American Tour
Warlord is set to return to the stage with a lineup that bridges the gap between the band's "old guard" and youthful energy. Featuring vocalist Giles Lavery, the current iteration of the band focuses on delivering "note-for-note" performances to satisfy long-time fans. Zonder expresses excitement for the upcoming North American tour—the band's first in the U.S. in two decades—viewing it as a celebration of the music that fans have cherished since their high school days.

Warlord remains a testament to the enduring power of high-quality songwriting and professional respect. By balancing a successful business in the modern recording industry with a deep commitment to the band's 80s roots, Mark Zonder ensures that the "Darkness" of Warlord continues to find its way into the "Light" for a new generation of fans.]]></description>
