This week on Late For Load In, we're joined by powerhouse vocalist Kasey Karlsen — frontwoman of Deadlands and touring singer for guitar shredder Nita Strauss.

Kasey dives into how she got the call to join Nita's band, what it's like touring with legends, and the wild experience of performing in front of rock and metal royalty. We also explore the explosive rise of Deadlands, how the band uses social media to fuel their growth, and what it's like being part of the new wave of women dominating the metal scene.

Kasey is wise beyond her years, fiercely talented, and absolutely an artist to watch. Whether you're grinding it out in a van or dreaming big from the pit, this episode is a must-listen.
