Wayne Lozinak, the legendary shredder for hardcore gods Hatebreed, joins Knotfest host Daniel Dekay at Aftershock Festival '23 for an impromptu episode of Defender of the Riff given that his band weren't even on the bill!
Wayne dives back into his childhood and teenage years first discovering heavy music through the punk rock scene, and how that lead him to owning his very first electric guitar, and discusses the riffs and original icons he had that have shaped him into the guitarist he is now. Wayne also discusses Hatebreed's influences - a mashup of different scenes and genres - that make them a great entrance for anyone first getting into heavy culture.
