Before the KSE's gig in Milan at Magazzini Generali we sat down with bass player Mike D'Antonio, who his a nice and very passionate dude, and had very fun chat about “Disarm The Descent” the new album released early April via Roadrunner records,
the European tour they're on with Heartist, the intriguing front cover artwork he did and his side career as graphic designer and much more.
