Interview by Kris PetersThis Friday, May 8, California's legendary iconic band Social Distortion release their eighth studio album, Born To Kill, via Epitaph Records.Born To Kill is more than the conclusion to a 15-year wait between Social Distortion albums, it's a revelation: 11 songs of pure, unadulterated rock 'n' roll fury, joy and catharsis, all imbued with the signature blend of defiance and world-weariness that has made founder Mike Ness a poet and sage to the dispossessed for more than 40 years.The first Social Distortion album since Ness' recovery from a bout with cancer, Born To Kill brims with aggressive optimism. The album wastes no time letting the listener know where its heart is, with its title track and mission statement dropping nods to Lou Reed (Rock 'n' Roll Animal gonna come your way!) and Iggy and the Stooges (“The agenda is yeah to Search and Destroy”) and a homage to David Bowie (“It's a Rock 'n' Roll Suicide”) following a few songs later on Partners In Crime.This is a man, a band and a record that wear their influences proudly while creating timeless anthems and ballads that both chart Social Distortion's path forward and celebrate its storied past: Tonight and The Way Things Were are emotionally charged reminiscences in the vein of classics like Story of My Life from the band's eponymous 1990 breakthrough and I Was Wrong from 1996's White Light, White Heat, White Trash, the latter containing a potent distillation of the Social D ethos: "I wrote a song with a stolen riff / If you ain't got a song you ain't got shit.”HEAVY sat down for an interesting chat with Ness about the new album, the history of Social Distortion and much, much more. One of the early questions was about expectation and if he felt any outside pressure due to the length of time since 2011's Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes?"I mean, a little bit," Ness measured. "I mean, I didn't mean for 15 years to go by, but a lot of things in life came up in the last 15 years. But I did know it was definitely a thought in the forefront of my mind that when it was time to make this record, it couldn't be a sleeper. It needed to be... it needed to get people's attention."We ask Mike to dive deeper into the musicality on Born To Kill and what he was going for this time around."With every record you want to try and reinvent yourself," he replied, pausing to reflect. "But for me it was as simple as just going back to the late 70s and the music I was listening to, just to inspire me. It was a chance to pay homage, if you will, to some of my idols and play around with some different grooves and rhythms. I tried to go back to a little bit more primitive style. Primitive is good (smiles)."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
Send us Fan MailThe Heavy Music Collective is stepping up for artists, and at the same time, Converge is pushing forward creatively with yet another powerful release. In this episode, we connect with Jeff Price (The Heavy Music Collective) and Ben Koller of Converge to break down both the business and the art shaping heavy music in 2026.Converge has officially announced their second full-length album of the year, Hum of Hurt, arriving June 5, 2026 via Deathwish Inc. and Epitaph Records. The band also dropped the intense and emotionally charged title track, diving deep into the concept of “The Hum” — a haunting idea imagined as the collective frequency of human suffering.Vocalist Jacob Bannon describes the album as a raw and exposed reflection of the human condition, distinct from its 2026 predecessor Love Is Not Enough. While that record leaned more metal, Hum of Hurt explores a more emotional hardcore direction, delivering one of the most dynamic and vulnerable releases in Converge's career.Recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios, the album also features visually striking artwork created in collaboration with Thomas Hooper, blending themes of chaos, elemental forces, and internal struggle.At the same time, Ben Koller is helping lead a major shift in the music industry with the launch of the Heavy Music Collective — a new initiative alongside Jeff Price designed to help artists recover lost streaming royalties and better understand how they get paid.Too often, songwriters miss out on what's known as “black box” royalties — unclaimed money from platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. The Heavy Music Collective works directly with these platforms to track down and recover those earnings while also educating artists on how to protect their rights moving forward.Powered by Word Collections, the initiative represents a wide range of heavy artists and is built to support the entire spectrum of the genre — from hardcore and metalcore to doom, sludge, and beyond.If you're a fan of heavy music, an independent artist, or someone trying to understand the realities of today's music business — this is a must-watch.Subscribe for more conversations with the artists and industry voices shaping the future of music.#Converge #BenKoller #HeavyMusicCollective #HumOfHurt #Metal #Hardcore #MusicIndustry #StreamingRoyalties #JeffPrice #TheBarnMediawww.BetterHelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.

A few weeks ago, Bo & I had the special privilege of traveling to Nashville to get an inside look into the making of DRAIN's "...Is Your Friend" U.S. tour with No Pressure, Haywire and Secret World, via our friends at Monster Energy. This was our first OFFICIAL "assignment" on behalf of Monster since we started working with them officially in January, and it's a bittersweet example of what was to come of this dream partnership. We're so grateful for the memories that this has created since losing our beloved Bohan Lueders, for what has now become his penultimate HardLore episode ever. We spent several days with the band & their crew made up entirely of hardcore musicians from bands like Rotting Out, Cosmic Joke, One Step Closer and more to give you all an inside look at their gear & production. We hope you enjoy this unique episode that was a first and last for us as a duo, where Bo's unique knowledge and passion for gear was on full display. Go see them near you soon. Head to hardloremerch.com to grab a Bo memorial t-shirt for an amazing cause that we can't wait to tell you more about soon... ________________ 00:01:44 - Chapter 1: DRAIN, Before The Storm 00:06:29 - Chapter 2: HardLore Hardware Highlight, Drain's Gear 00:48:25 - Chapter 3: They're The Crew, Meet Drain's Touring Crew 01:17:24 - Chapter 4: Drain & Co.'s Top 4 Hardcore Records 01:22:10 - Chapter 5: Day One of Tour in Dallas Texas HardLore: A Knotfest Series, Fueled by Monster EnergyEdited by Steven Grise • Title sequence by Nicholas MarzlufJoin the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes.Join the HARDLORE DISCORD for community discussions and to participate in our future Q&A episodes.FOLLOW HARDLORE: INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, SPOTIFY, APPLEFOLLOW COLIN: INSTAGRAMFOLLOW BO: INSTAGRAM, TWITTER For sponsorship opportunities, email us! info@hardlorepod.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Following the release of the now-iconic Jane Doe, Converge could have easily delivered a direct sequel to satisfy fans craving the same sonic intensity. To avoid the risk of pigeonholing themselves, however, the band opted to write for themselves and subverted expectations with a more minimal, live approach on their follow-up album.This week on Riff Worship, we're diving deep into one of the most polarizing yet essential entries in the Converge discography: 2004's You Fail Me. We'll explore…The personal struggles that fueled Jacob Bannon's scathing lyricism and stark visual aesthetic.The band's pivotal transition to their longtime home at Epitaph Records.The first truly “in-house” recording experience at Kurt Ballou's new GodCity studio.The technical hurdles of the original sessions and the 2016 Redux that gave the album new life.From setlist staples like “Eagles Become Vultures” and “Heartless” to the more experimental depths of “In Her Shadow,” please join us in celebrating a modern metalcore classic!Recommendations:Converge - Love Is Not EnoughPatrick Fagen - Your Kids Are Ugly: An Unfortunately True Vasectomy StoryWorld I Hate - Total Nuclear AnnihilationKevin Morby - Little Wide OpenCorrosion of Conformity - Good God / Baad ManLamb of God - As the Palaces BurnHateverge (Live at the Whisky a Go Go)Overnight (2003)Follow Riff WorshipInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/riffworshippod/Twitter: https://x.com/RiffWorshipPodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RiffWorshipPodCheck out our Official Playlists:Riffs on Repeat (Spotify)Riffs on Repeat (YouTube Music)Hits from the Crypt (Apple)
Este episodio anhelaba servir al título que lo acompaña, pero algo sucedió por el camino (el econo-podcasting es un arte vivo). Benja Villegas habló básicamente de skate, desde el día en que el primer surfero le metió ruedas a un tablón hasta la aparición de Tony Hawk; y luego peroró sobre Bad Religion y Epitaph Records. De pop-punk ni rastro, de momento. Kiko Amat podría haber arreglado la cosa in extremis, pero optó por teorizar -en abundante detalle- sobre porqué los punks son mods con imperdibles, y luego ofreció una crónica cómica sobre su etapa mod-harcore (mencionando el hardcore melódico, sin duda, aunque más bien de paso). Al final, se recomendaron el cómic Grommets (Norma Editorial) y las tres mejores películas de skate. Un capítulo emo-pedagógico en parcial primera persona que hará la delicia de los amantes de ese subgénero.

The Bouncing Souls are an iconic melodic punk band from New Jersey. They are a personal favorite of mine and have been for over 20 years. Pete is also the owner of what I consider to be one of the raddest guitars in music history. It is a 1979 White Les Paul Custom that has the most iconic legit playwear that I have ever seen! We talk about that and a lot of other stuff like: The early days of the Bouncing Souls Recording music is a collaborative process that requires understanding the dynamics of the band. Aspiring musicians should focus on DIY methods to build their careers before seeking label support. The music industry has changed drastically, making it easier for artists to promote themselves independently. Finding the right label is crucial; artists should seek those who genuinely support their vision. Touring experiences evolve with age, shifting from wild adventures to more family-oriented approaches. The importance of building relationships and trust in the music industry cannot be overstated. Simple gear setups can often yield the best results in live performances. Nostalgia plays a big role in music culture. Modern touring vs 90s touring "Rock dad" life Punk rock was a significant turning point for many musicians. Punkorama CDs were crucial for discovering new music. Epitaph Records played a vital role in the punk scene.
