Episode 72: Ryan Shuck (Adema, Julien-K, ex-Orgy, ex-Dead by Sunrise) 8-9-2022

J-Bunny's Music Hub Podcast

I sit down on Skype and talk to Ryan Shuck of the bands Adema and Julien-K, and formerly of Orgy and Dead by Sunrise. We discuss Ryan's start in music in the band Sexart with Jonathan Davis from Korn, how that friendship led to Orgy signing with Korn's label Elementree Records, why the original lineup of Orgy disbanded, and whether there is a possibility of ever reuniting. We also cover how issues at the end of the original lineup of Orgy led to the formation of Julien-K, how Ryan's friendship with Chester Bennington led to the collaboration between Julien-K and Chester called Dead by Sunrise, and how the creative process for Julien-K compared to that of Orgy. On the Adema front we discuss the band's tumultuous relationship with original singer Marky Chavez, why some of the band's later material is not available to stream on Spotify, how Ryan became the band's latest singer, and what their plans are for the future. And of course, we discuss Ryan's thoughts on the current state of the music industry. Podcast intro "Rock Intro 3" courtesy of audionautix.com.
