John Perez

Band names don’t come much gnarlier than Rotting Corpse, but guitarist John Perez had his reservations when it was bestowed upon his mid-80s Texas thrash crew. He later formed doom metal stalwarts Solitude Aeturnus and dabbled in psych metal with Liquid Sound Company. He joins us to discuss the early Texas thrash scene, touring with Paul Di’Anno, his record label, tour managing Candlemass, St. Vitus and others, and why Hell’s Heroes 2024 was the perfect gig.
