Songs For The Apocalypse: Jason Bieler and the Baron Von Bielski Orchestra

New (to me) Music I'm Digging: JASON BIELER, formerly of Saigon Kick (also new to me).

Heard about it via: Devin Townsend's Twitter-feed — Townsend plays guitar on the first single, “Bring Out Your Dead.”

Genre: Prog Metal, albeit unlike anything I've heard in the category.

Sounds Like: Toto and Tool dropped into a Yahtzee cup with Dylan, then shaken and cast onstage.

“But will I like it?”: You just might! Here is Bieler's link to streaming platforms. “Bring Out Your Dead” (track 3) and “Beyond Hope” (track 9) should help you with your cardio intervals, while “Very Fine People” (track 14) is weirdly, deeply moving. If you enjoy those three tracks you too will have no difficulty digging the entire album.
