No talk of Texas metal is complete without mention of Houston legends, Helstar. With upcoming new album “The Devil’s Masquerade” on deck, founding guitarist Larry Barragan joins us to discuss the band’s 40-year legacy, the healing power and emotional pull of heavy music, the early days of tape trading, sharing stages with King Diamond, Megadeth, Anthrax, Fates Warning and others, and why Angel Witch rules (smoke breaks and all)!
