Death's Scream Bloody Gore: The Album That Birthed Death MetalWhat happens when a 19-year-old horror movie fanatic from Florida decides to create the heaviest music imaginable? You get Scream Bloody Gore, the 1987 debut that didn't just launch Death's career—it created an entire genre. This is the album that made death metal official, complete with the perfect band name to match.In this episode, hosts Jay, Tim, and Chip dive deep into Chuck Schuldiner's groundbreaking vision that transformed from rejected Florida demos to a Billboard-charting phenomenon. They explore how Combat Records took a massive gamble on this unknown teenager, the recording disasters that led to the album being tracked twice, and why Florida became the unlikely epicenter of extreme metal. The discussion reveals surprising musicality beneath the brutality, from melodic guitar solos to dynamic drumming that defies the “wall of noise” stereotype.The hosts candidly share their first impressions as death metal newcomers, debating everything from Chuck's surprisingly varied vocal approach to the album's timeless production quality. They unpack the horror movie-inspired lyrics, the influence of Black Sabbath and Kiss, and how this 37-minute assault influenced countless bands while spawning an entire ecosystem of subgenres.If you're fascinated by metal history, the origins of extreme music, or how teenage vision can reshape entire genres, this deep dive into death metal's ground zero is essential listening. Fans of early Metallica, Slayer, Possessed, and the broader Combat Records roster will find plenty to sink their teeth into.Episode Highlights:0:00 – Introduction – Poll results and first impressions of death metal's founding album5:18 – Album Background – Chuck Schuldiner's journey from demos to Combat Records deal6:32 – Recording Chaos – The Florida studio disaster and California re-recording10:39 – Listener Comments – Community insights on death metal's Florida origins14:45 – Death Metal Subgenres – From brutal death to porno grind (seriously)17:21 – What Works – Surprising musicality, guitar solos, and vocal range25:04 – Timeless Influence – How the album sounds as relevant today as in 198735:24 – What Doesn't Work – Double-time limitations and production challenges41:53 – Lyrical Analysis – Horror movie themes and teenage songwriting50:16 – Chart Success – How death metal hit Billboard #174 without radio play54:38 – Final Verdicts – Worthy album or essential EP?Ready to explore the brutal brilliance that started it all?

In this pulverizing episode of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, your hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd dive deep into the diseased heart of Michigan's underground with Decedent, one of the most exciting new names in the Sepsisgrind scene—a self-described style of cataclysmic death metal somewhere between Sanguisugabogg, Gatecreeper, and 200 Stab Wounds, all filtered through a thick Cannibal Corpse groove and old-school Chuck Schuldiner worship.

Over 2 hours of unrelenting and uninterrupted death metal to download. This playlist is a serpent with many heads and highlights  how diverse the genre actually is with elements of thrash, grind, doom, sludge, crust and even prog.

Jesse Hughes, best known as the wild frontman of Eagles of Death Metal, is a force of charisma, chaos, and crunchy desert rock riffs. Born September 24, 1972, in Greenville, South Carolina, Hughes was raised in Palm Desert, California, where his lifelong friendship with Josh Homme (of Queens of the Stone Age) would set the stage for one of rock's most energetic duos. While Homme often drums and co-produces, Hughes is the face and voice of the band, known for his mustachioed swagger, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, and unfiltered stage persona.Eagles of Death Metal formed in 1998 and released their debut album, Peace, Love, Death Metal, in 2004. It was raw, groovy, and laced with tongue-in-cheek bravado. Songs like “I Only Want You” and “Speaking in Tongues” introduced the band's hybrid of garage rock, boogie, and glam with Hughes' playful vocals front and center. Over the years, Hughes' stage name “The Devil” matched his onstage antics and preacher-like energy, combining a Southern preacher vibe with a rock showmanship.Follow-up albums like Death by Sexy (2006), Heart On (2008), and Zipper Down (2015) kept the party going, with Hughes' sound maturing but never losing its rebellious humor or rock 'n' roll heart. Despite their tongue-in-cheek image, the band survived tragedy: the 2015 Paris terrorist attack at the Bataclan Theatre during one of their concerts. Hughes emerged shaken but committed to peace and healing through music, later speaking out while continuing to tour with a defiant, loving spirit.Outside EODM, Hughes has released solo work under the name Boots Electric, notably the 2011 album Honkey Kong. It showed his flair for funk, dance rock, and unapologetic weirdness. Still, his love of music and dedication to performance remain undimmed.In the end, Jesse Hughes is a survivor, a showman, and a one-of-a-kind figure in the world of rock. Whether he's cracking jokes, busting out a fuzzed-out riff, or leading a crowd in rock 'n' roll salvation, he brings everything he's got—and then some.

Interview by Kris PetersNecrosonic Festival 2025 can rightfully lay claim to being Brisbane's premiere heavy metal music festival. Following a successful debut in 2024, the 2025 edition is again curated by Kent Bartley, one of the masterminds behind legendary Australian festivals like Overcranked, Inferno, and Dead of Winter. The lineup includes both international acts and resurrected Australian legends, with some bands reuniting for rare or one-off performances.Described as a "ritual" rather than just a festival, Necrosonic 2025 promises an intense, 12-hour-plus experience featuring 30 of the heaviest bands from the underground metal scene, performing across three stages at the Mansfield Tavern on August 23. One of the most popular grouping of bands in last year's debut offering was Resurrected: Back From The Dead and this year's collection of older bands reunited promises to be no exception with Massic, Idle Ruin, Daysend, Beanflipper and Brace dusting off the cobwebs and keen to re-enter the fray alongside Portal, Bolzer, Abramelin, Frankenbok and more.Sydney heavy outfit Brace are one of the Resurrected, reforming after 20 years to answer the metal call to arms, with bass player Rod Yates more than happy to shoot the breeze with HEAVY about Round Two for the band."It's been a long time," he affirmed. "It's been about 20 years since the last show, but you know what? It's sounding pretty good. We've picked up where we left off, which is good."We mention the other four bands in the Resurrected category and point out that Brace will be amongst illustrious company in returning to the stage."I can't believe that we get to share a stage with those bands for one," he enthused. "Daysend we used to play with quite a bit back in the day, we're good friends with those guys. We haven't seen them for a long time, so that's going to be great, but Beanflipper are one of the bands that you grew up listening to and used to read about in Hot Metal, so to see them back playing and to play on the same stage as them... It's going to be massive with the other bands as well. You've got 30 bands playing across three stages in 12 hours!"In the full interview, Rod discusses getting the band back together and how easily they have slipped back into gear. He tells us what we can expect from Brace live, including three songs to listen to in order to get to know the band if you are unfamiliar with their music.We talk about the value of festivals such as Necrosonic to the Australian heavy metal scene, the history of Brace, why they broke up and what's changed to make them try again, new music and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

“Authenticity is your superpower on video.” Michael Dargie chats with Logan Mulligan, co-founder of Digital Sonder and certified creative rebel, for a conversation that covers everything from the art of storytelling to the terror of open water. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Logan shares the journey from confused high school kid to running a thriving video production company alongside his wife, Madison. He opens up about dropping out of film school, playing in a death metal band called Primal Tyrant, and building a brand grounded in empathy and storytelling. Plus: why he believes everyone's story matters, how StoryBrand shaped his approach to content, and what it really means to “love people.” They swap favourite directors, nerd out on Severance and Stranger Than Fiction, and debate the eternal question: pineapple on pizza? This is a feel-good, laugh-out-loud, deep-think kind of episode that reminds you to be a little weird and a lot human.

Its tiome for more purulent discharge in the form of another Anointing The Sick Show highlighting the very best in extreme metal. There is a heavy doom chart prescence this week with the show kicking off with Italian stoners Rhino. Much of this episode contains stner doom bands but the filth pit has spewed forth some inpenetrable blackened deathgrind in the form of Maurda. As usual, I've highlighted some albums you may have missed last year but the second part of the show gives a taste of what has been on offer over the last few weeks and are highly recommended by the Blog.
