Metal Inside(r) Home Quarantine is Metal Insider’s new column during this time of isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We asked artists five questions on what’s been keeping them busy ranging from their favorite movies, food they’ve been eating, music they’ve been listening to and more. We caught up with Rabid Flesh Eaters’ Mike Taylor (guitar), John Hill (bass), and Ricky Wilson (vocals) as they’ve been spending this time writing dark tales, making carcass stew, and watching all Romero movies.

What have you been doing to pass time during Quarantine?

Mike: Long run endurance guitar sessions. Writing, recording, and breathing life into new monster sound creations. Listening to as much music as possible.
