Kam chats with us about his upcoming album Necrolution, out on November 8, 2024 on Agonia Records. He also talks about what it was like jamming with Chuck Schuldiner in the early days, if he though death metal would ever be this big, and what he listens to now. It was a real honor to interview Kam Lee, who is considered the godfather of growl.
