    Dreams As Nightmares With Alejandro Gomez

    Join me as I interview guitarist Alejandro Gomez about his new band: Dreams As Nightmares. Hailing from the city of sin, Las Vegas, Nevada, Dreams As Nightmares is a fresh voice in metal-core, influenced by genre-related bands like ERRA and Tesseract, while dipping into the melodic essence from artists like Dio and Alice in Chains. Their music blends technical finesse and raw emotion, offering a sound that’s both powerful and deeply relatable, crafting a sonic space where fans can feel seen and supported through the embrace of tough times and challenges. Their debut single "Into The Storm" (2025) sets the bar as the starting point of a journey where members and fans will be a towering force to be reckoned with by the world. Dreams As Nightmares was conceived in 2023 as the project of guitarist Alejandro Gomez, after having parted ways with his past projects Image Intent and Damaged Savage. Following the creation of the project, he joined forces with Rich Thomas from Auralight (AZ) and A Suffocating Lie (CA) and independent singer/songwriter Connor Hetzel, adding a powerful vocal duo, combining raw screaming with prominent cleans, and opening the doors to a wider audience. Subsequently, the addition of guitarist Thomas Velasquez of Tree Frog Express and The Noir Movement made the band a creative powerhouse, combining different musical backgrounds, leading to the refinement of the band's catalog. With the late addition of drummer Mike McGuinness, the band completed its lineup to begin their live music endeavor. https://www.dreamsasnightmares.com/

    Survive Together - How the Brain Copes With Suicidal Loss -With Noam Schneck.PhD

    When some close to you dies by suicide, the grief can be feel unbearable. Noam Schneck PHD joins me to discuss his research on how the brain responds to the loss of a loved one who has taken their life. More about Noam: Dr. Schneck studies the way that people adapt to the suicide loss of a loved one. Specifically, his research aims to identify unconscious processes of coping with the loss that help people grow and adapt while also allowing them to remain engaged in current life demands. These unconscious processes are identified using a machine learning based approach to functional magnetic resonance brain imaging called neural decoding. The goal of this research is to ultimately develop a treatment technique that would entrain greater unconscious processing of the loss. IN THE NEWS: 1.
