Podcast appearances and mentions of ben koller

Years later, the boys finally talk about No Heroes by Converge. For realsies.

 I Don't Wanna Hear It Podcast268 - Disc Dives For Dummies: Jane Doe by ConvergeThis week, we dig into the viscera of one of the 2000's most feral-sounding records and try not to bite each other and die screaming.Check out more of our stuff at I Don't Wanna Hear It and join the Patreon, jabroni.

Kayle couldn't think of an album to listen to so he pulled out 'ol reliable Converge: their 2004 follow-up to Jane Doe.

Slightly, eh, dodgy name aside, there are few bands as relentlessly heavy as All Pigs Must Die. Their second album Nothing Violates This Nature really encapsulates all of the things this band do best - combining every single kind of metal subgenre you can image with layers of d-beats and hardcore breakdowns in one massive, intense, screamy cocktail. If you’re unfamiliar with the band, they’re basically a supergroup made up of members from various well known Boston/Massachusetts bands. Chief among them is drummer Ben Koller, well known not only for being the dynamo behind Coverge’s feral, emotive sonic assault, but also man of many bands himself, drumming for Mutoid Man, Killer Be Killed and many other projects. The band are rounded out by Kevin Baker, the vocalist for influential 00s hardcore act The Hope Conspiracy, and Matt Woods and Adam Wentworth from the doom band Bloodhorse. More recently they’ve been joined by Brian Izzi on guitar too, from the death and roll/crust punk band Trap Them. The ethos behind this band is fairly straight forward - do it fast, do it heavy, do it intensely. They’re very much a “mood” band in that regard, namely that you’re unlikely to want to sit through an entire album if you’re feeling chipper, but if you’re having a rotten day then this guys might just be your jam. Also suitable for perhaps if you want to bench press 1 million pounds or run to the other side of the country. Suffice to say, they’re full on. They come from great stock, and they write almost all of their music remotely, which probably accounts for the formula. Anyway, they’ve only released three albums and this, Mark contests, is the best example of what they do best - grind all day. Is it worth of a place in our discography though? That’s up to you.

In Part I starten wir mit David Hasselhoff und warum dieser lieber mit Manowar hätte zusammenarbeiten sollen. Bei den Reviews widmen wir uns den Königen der Göteborger Melo Death Schiene! Dark Tranquillity präsentieren mit “Moment” Musik für die ruhigen Momente und weniger für energiegeladene Ausbrücher auf der Bühne. Erlend Hjelvik verwirklicht sich mit seinem Solo-Projekt und geht neue Wege abseits des Kvelertak Sounds - Norwegian blackened Viking Heavy Metal ist angesagt. Während vielen sogenannten Supergroups das gewisse Etwas und irgendwie das Feuer fehlt, brennen Killer Be Killed für ihre Musik und das merkt man nicht nur den Songs sondern auch den Mitgliedern Max Cavalera, Greg Puciato, Troy Sanders und Ben Koller an. Die haben Bock und wir auch! Für die frostige Winterstimmung empfehlen wir Hyems. Kalter klirrender Black Metal aus Deutschland mit Message! Da wir dann doch noch ziemlich in nicht Metalgefilde abgedriftet sind, haben wir uns entschieden, die Folge zu teilen. Part II folgt nach Weihnachten!

For this very special episode of Riot Act, Steve is joined by two of our collective favourites; Max Cavalera and Greg Puciato. Known for their individual work in bands like Sepultura, Soulfly, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Black Queen and Cavalera Conspiracy, the duo join us to talk about the second album from their most super of supergroups, Killer Be Killed. We hear about the formation of the band, that dates back to the last decade, the way in which Max and Greg roped in Mastodon’s Troy Sanders and Coverge’s Ben Koller, and how they finally feel that KBK is a proper band that are (fingers crossed) in it for the long haul.

In modern terms 2020 has been a year to forget for the majority of people on Mother Earth, as people's basic privileges continue to be stripped to a bare minimum there is a flow of thoughts for each individual that is theirs and their own. This era has and will continue to define us as a species individually and as a whole! What does it mean to “exist” at present? Well let's hear one mans personal story right here and right now! Enter Greg Puciato, a man that needs no introduction with a musical resume literally longer than his arms! A man who fronted (and survived) The Dillinger Escape Plan for 16 years, A man who continues to be a part of a very special group of humans in Killer Be Killed and of course the eclectic electro pop group The Black Queen. As Greg celebrated his 40th year on Earth earlier this year a very specific goal was reached for this seasoned veteran of musical expertise! The completion of Child Soldier: Creator of God which is his debut solo album. An album that had “no limitation what so ever” in its creation and wasn't so much of an ending to a chapter but more a beginning “You know if you're gonna make a solo record then why leave anything off the table? Why limit yourself? The point of a solo record is to create, I look at it if you're a film maker and you've got an ability to make a personal small indie film that's closer you rather than making like a big budget movie of some sort it's like that's where you make this weird thing that's deeply personal that goes all over the place and might be a bit more art-house than like a blockbuster movie” It's impossible to place Greg's back catalogue of musical projects into one genre in fact it would be an insult to even pigeon hole his artistic layering's at all. The guy is diverse and makes no bones about it, this has never been more the case than with Child Soldier: Creator of God which from start to finish offers many sides of a man who has managed to create moods through his music. “It's pretty much me as a person I have a lot extremities, I have problems with what people call push pull dynamics it's like I really want people close to me but then I don't want them close to me” Greg then added “So when I listen to record here's this beautiful beginning and then I'm like get the fuck away from me and I make it really hard for people and then I'll lure you in because you're gonna think this guy's real sensitive and weird and interesting and then you're gonna be like of shit I gotta get out of here and then you get on the other side of that and then there will be kinder a mix of those two things”.When it came to recording drums for the album Chris Hornbrook (ex Poison the Well), Chris Pennie (ex Dillinger Escape Plan/ Coheed and Cambria) and of course Ben Koller (Killer Be Killed/ Converge/ Mutoid Man) were all seated at their respective thrones on individual tracks, this was never seen as “head hunting some dude that I don't know or I hope this guy will say yes but more like man that's my buddy and it has a different feel to me”, this making for a more personal element to the debut. Be sure to listen out for how the track with Ben Koller came about and how Greg's friendship with Chris Pennie was rejuvenated through the power of music after Chris's not so pleasant departure from The Dillinger Escape Plan all those years ago! Ohh yeah… one more thing…..whilst reminiscing about memories of live shows with Greg Puciato a burning question had to be asked, it being a simple but direct one at that; “what is the craziest thing you have seen at a live show on or off the stage?”……. The answer was everything I'd thought it would be a soooooo much more, seriously what a crazy world we live in!

Ben Koller slays beats and splits wood in Converge, Mutoid Man, All Pigs Must Die, Kill or Be Killed,and more!!! As one of my favorite drummers, it was awesome catching up with his guy for some drum talk. We get into our favorite 80’s records, initially subbing and ultimately getting the gig, balancing touring with said bands and having a family, the Blues Brothers, Guns n Roses, and what his German name actually translates to. It’s a good one so strap in for the drum shrapnel. Ben Koller ladies and gentleman!!!
