Lead guitarist Marc Motley of Los Angeles based mathcore band The Arson Choir talks about the band’s diverse influences, what it’s like trying to grow an up-and-coming band during a pandemic, politics and racial divisions in America, and whether metal is the best media in which to address them. The Arson Choir released its second ferocious EP
Invisible Monsters in early October and is known locally in the LA scene for the band’s frenetic live performances.
