This week on Heavy Metal Tones, we journey back to 1985 and the release of Possessed's groundbreaking debut Seven Churches — a record that many consider the true birth of death metal. With its unholy mix of thrash speed, guttural vocals, and blasphemous themes, Seven Churches pushed metal into darker, heavier, and more dangerous territory. We'll dig into its riffs, its chaotic energy, and how it influenced the rise of extreme metal that followed.For the break, I've got something brand new for you — Heads for the Dead return with their chilling new single “Phantasmagoria”, taken from their forthcoming album Never Ending Night of Terror, due out October 10th. A perfect blend of horror and heaviness to pair with this week's classic deep dive.As promised the Heads For The Dead links are here.https://pulverised.bandcamp.com/album/never-ending-night-of-terrorhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRbOxi9gm-dLfLy7B-y-YDw Hosted on Acast.

When Australian extreme metal outfit Werewolves proclaimed to the world that they intended to release 10 albums in 10 years, the collective sighs of here we go again hung loudly in the air. Bands have promised such things or similar immeasurable times in the past, with few managing to reach the lofty heights for which they had set themselves. Not to mention the discontent from fans who then started to doubt the honesty or integrity of anything that came out of their mouths from that moment forth.But with a pedigree of members from well-respected Australian bands such as Psycroptic, The Berzerker, and The Antichrist Imperium, more than a few people backed Werewolves in.That promise was made six years ago now, and lo and behold Werewolves have just released album number six, The Ugliest Of All. Described as a "devastating album with little let up or mercy", The Ugliest Of All is pure, face-melting extreme metal of the highest calibre, proving that even just over halfway through their quest, Werewolves are yet to start scraping the bottom of the creativity well.With the recent listen to the album still infecting our ears, HEAVY sat down to chat with guitarist Matt Wilcock to find out more. We start by asking how the early reception for the album has been."It's been good," he enthused. "It's album six. We've been around for six years or seven years, and we're up to album six. And to be honest, it's funny because for us, it's just another album, but we're happy with it and people seem to dig it. We're always excited to release another ridiculously brutal and stupid album."With such a regular release cycle, we wonder aloud if Matt even gives thought to what people think of their albums and if negative feedback could ever derail the process."Oh, there'll be another one," he grinned defiantly. "I mean, it's a bit of both. We do it because we love it, and it's kind of cool to see what people think. But if no one likes this one, then fuck them. We're going to do another one next year. And it's going to be even worse (laughs)."In the full interview, Matt provided an overview of The Ugliest Of All, highlighting its relentless intensity and the absence of slow songs, with the first half featuring catchier tracks and the second half increasing in aggression. He noted the band's growth in songwriting and the fact that their music is made for themselves first and foremost.We discussed the now compulsory dis song on each album, along with the cover art by Mitchell Nolte, which reflects the album's themes. We spoke about the back and forth when creating artwork for each album cover and how they develop from a simple sketch to a graphic piece. The 10 albums in 10 years promise came up, with HEAVY asking if it was becoming difficult to come up with quality material given the short amount of time between albums, as did their run of shows early next year with Abbath Doom Occulta and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
Metal YouTuber and fellow Oregonian Taylor Danley shows up with riffs, opinions, and a tube-amp habit that could brown out a neighborhood. We trace the path from Elvis ukulele kid to extreme-metal lifer, then get into the real fight: cranked amps vs. modeling. We make the case for the Boss Tube Amp Expander (turn it up, keep your lease), why an Axe-Fx is the smartest carry-on, and how millimeters of mic placement beat a mile of copy-paste presets. We talk producers who actually make bands sound like bands (Adam D., Will Putney), the charm of leaving one or two “human” wobbles in the take, and why the Boss Katana is still the new-player cheat code. Gear heads get the goodies: Orange OR80, old Marshalls, NS-2 doing unglamorous hero work, the Metal Zone used tastefully (yes, it can be done), and the story behind Taylor's Obsidian Audio boost plus a new preamp on the way. There's record-store nostalgia, kids discovering Sabbath, a Corolla-vs-'69 Camaro tone analogy, and a very Portland pizza detour to land the plane. Good laughs, useful takeaways, zero gatekeeping. (Well, excpet for noisegates.)

Nous parlons de nouveautés, de coups de cœur et partageons aussi quelques doléances. Configuration inédite pour cet ultime numéro : Jeff est accompagné d'Eric Melkiahn, ainsi que d'Alastor, premier animateur de PFA de 2012 à 2015. Promis, nous ne faisons pas dans le tragique ou le larmoyant. La flamme de PFA s'éteint pour en laisser une nouvelle se déployer dans la foulée. Nous proposons simplement une dernière rétrospective avec une bonne dose d'improvisation. Installez-vous près du feu et écoutez dès maintenant cette ultime célébration...
Présentée par Jeff avec Clément, Max, Paz & Eric Melkiahn. Dans l'histoire de PFA, les septième et huitième saisons comptent sans doute parmi les plus expérimentales. Jusqu'alors, le cercle d'initiés était mené par un duo d'animateurs. Celui-ci s'était considérablement élargi avec le temps. Avec des rôles prédéfinis, les convives se relayaient pour évoquer les musiques extrêmes avec (im)pertinence. Pour revivre la douce époque des émissions à cinq voix, Jeff a rassemblé ses anciens camarades afin de se remémorer quelques souvenirs d'antan. Le temps d'une soirée, nous vous invitons à replonger dans ces années noires de PFA, où flottaient des effluves de bière forte et l'écho du parquet collant…

Présentée par Jeff - Partie SINSAENUM à 0:33:03 « Dévasté ». Un mot symboliquement fort, qui reflète l'état émotionnel de Fred Leclercq dans les années précédant ce troisième disque de SINSAENUM. Ce qui peut apparaître comme un album de deuil – rendant notamment hommage à Joey Jordison et au père du compositeur – révèle en réalité une dimension plus complexe. Beaucoup d'idées liées à l'évolution du groupe étaient déjà esquissées avant les tragiques événements qui ont marqué la vie du musicien. Fruit d'un triste hasard, les titres plus progressifs et mélancoliques résonnent parfaitement avec l'idée du dernier adieu. Pour autant, Sinsaenum n'a rien perdu de sa rage. Si de nouvelles couleurs musicales s'invitent dans le répertoire du supergroupe, In Devastation conserve l'accroche et la brutalité caractéristiques de ses deux premiers opus. Nous en parlons longuement avec Fred Leclercq dans ce dernier entretien du lundi soir, dans le cadre de notre émission extrême. Pour ouvrir cette nouvelle émission, PFA se montre aussi versatile qu'il a su l'être au cours de ses treize années d'existence. Trois albums variés lanceront ainsi cet avant-avant-dernier épisode sur l'antenne de Radio Metal. Comme l'humeur est globalement tournée vers le deuil, pourquoi ne pas se tourner vers le doom death ? Nous revenons donc sur Generation of the Void de NAILED TO OBSCURITY, fraîchement publié chez Nuclear Blast. Nos oreilles attentives découvriront également le groupe d'avant-garde black metal français HASARD, qui sort tout juste son deuxième album Abgnose. Enfin, nous rendrons hommage au regretté Rats, musicien de black metal connu pour ses projets MORGUILIATH et SUICIDE CIRCLE.
Melbourne-based crust-death outfit KÜNTSQUÄD (pronounced Kountskard) announced themselves with their self-titled 2022 debut album, selling out multiple pressings and ushering in a new era of extreme style Australian music. It was an album laced with brutality and unflinching honesty that was as much a declaration of war as it was a statement of intent.Fast-forward three years and KÜNTSQUÄD return with a new, heavier mission, delivered in the form of their follow-up album Satan's Cock. Satan's Cock is an album that pulls no punches, offering up an intense sonic battering that fuses crust punk's raw chaos with death metal's guttural power, laced with blackened grime and a signature streak of unbridled discontent. With their sharpened edge and unholy vision, KÜNTSQUÄD prove once again that there are no genre walls—only a relentless descent into weaponized sonic depravity.HEAVY sat down with vocalist Paula VC Damnzal and guitarist Nikronomicon Satanik to journey deeper down the rabbit hole."I think it was a concerted effort," Paula replied when we asked her to dive deeper into the new album. "We took a lot more time this time to actually finish it. When we started the recording - which is probably more than two years now - the intention was to do four songs. We put four songs down, and it sounded like crap, and we thought, no, we've got to start again. And then we had some dramas, and our engineer also had some issues, so long story short, basically, we started again. We wrote some more songs, down-tuned again just to get it right, because the last release was a bit… We weren't expecting a record to be honest, so it was done in a very rushed way. So this time round, we took a lot more time and did a bit of a critical review, where we were kind of going with it, and solidified what we'd already been doing. But it just needed to be more direct, because not everyone got it. But this time it was a lot more measured in how we did it."In the full interview, Paula and Nick further highlighted the band's commitment to a more refined production process, resulting in a heavier and more cohesive sound that reflects their goal of musical progression with each release. Nick noted that the album maintains a consistent style, addressing past challenges in genre categorization.They elaborated on the complexities of merging various metal genres while striving for originality, emphasizing the collaborative effort of each band member in shaping the album's sound. The conversation also covered their upcoming tour, starting in Perth and extending to Melbourne and other locations, with fans encouraged to follow their social media for updates on tour dates and information.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
Podcast Review: “Between Demons and Despair: A Journey Through Extreme Metal” – The True Metal SchifterIn this episode of The True Metal Schifter, Daniel Schifter takes listeners on a dark and intense journey through extreme metal. The episode masterfully explores two seminal forces in the genre.Death Metal – Morbid Angel: Starting in the rotting basements of Tampa, Florida, Morbid Angel redefined death metal with Altars of Madness, blending speed, technical precision, and demonic atmospheres. From their early days to later works like Blessed Are the Sick and Covenant, the band set a standard for brutality while influencing generations of metal musicians.Depressive Black Metal – Shining: From the frozen landscapes of Sweden, Shining, led by Niklas Kvarforth, dives into despair and emotional extremity. Albums like V: Halmstad and VII: Född Förlorare showcase melancholic guitars, raw vocals, and experimental textures, creating music as much about introspection and self-destruction as darkness itself.Conclusion: Schifter draws a powerful connection between these two extremes: technical, demonic brutality and introspective, depressive intensity. The episode reminds listeners that extreme metal encompasses both violence and vulnerability, united by a shared darkness.TheTrueMetalSchifter #ExtremeMetal #DeathMetal #MorbidAngel #BlackMetal #DepressiveBlackMetal #Shining #MetalPodcast #MetalHistory #DarkMusic #HeavyMetal #MetalCommunity #UndergroundMetal #MetalJourney

Interview by Kris PetersArriving just after the turn of the century, Australian metal legends DAYSEND were born into a healthy national metal scene that included bands like Blood Duster, Abramelin, Frankenbok and Dreamkillers, some of which are still going strong today. It was a golden era for Australian metal, made that much better by DAYSEND, who built a formidable reputation in the global metal scene, touring extensively across Australia and internationally and sharing the stage with some of the biggest names in metal, including Slipknot, Trivium, Arch Enemy, In Flames, and Machine Head.Their 2003 debut album, Severance, was met with widespread critical acclaim and was voted Best Australian Metal Album in a 2003 Triple J listeners' poll. The album's blend of melodic aggression and technical prowess cemented its status as one of the most influential Australian metal releases of the era.DAYSEND disbanded in 2011 and have lain dormant ever since - until now.Listed as one of the bands Necrosonic Festival has Resurrected From The Dead - alongside Massic, Beanflipper, Brace and Idle Ruin - DAYSEND have come from the abyss to revisit their debut album with a select number of shows before planning to fade back into the darkness.But before that could happen, HEAVY caught up with Aaron Bilbija (guitar) to talk about Necrosonic and the rebirth of DAYSEND. One of the topics for discussion was the importance of festivals such as Necrosonic to the Australian metal scene."Hugely, hugely important," he replied without hesitation. "They're doing it… they've got the passion for it, you know what I mean? They're not doing it for the bucks. They've got the passion for it, and they love what they're doing, and it's great that they are supporting guys like us. Yeah, it's excellent."We ask about the early stages of the band and where DAYSEND fit in initially."We all came from other bands at the time, just local bands in the Sydney scene," Aaron recalled. "And we used to play the hotels a lot, a bunch of all ages shows, things like that. There were loads and loads of bands, and there was gigs on pretty much every weekend. I remember going as a 16-year-old with the fake ID and trying to get into as many gigs as I could (laughs)."In the full interview, Aaron further discussed his role as guitarist in Daysend, which is performing a select number of shows, including an upcoming appearance at Necrosonic Festival in Brisbane. He provided background on the band's formation in Sydney during the early 2000s and explained their unique musical style that set them apart from other local bands. The conversation covered their current tour plans, including performances across multiple cities to celebrate their debut album, Severance, and why it connected with so many people. We discuss revisiting that old material and whether it still feels fresh and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
Interview by Angela CroudaceAfter more than 15 years, grindcore titans Pig Destroyer will finally return to Australia, and frontman J.R. Hayes couldn't be more thrilled. “We're just really, really excited,” he said. “It's hard to get all the stars to align, but we're finally doing it.”Their long-awaited comeback is bolstered by the inclusion of Singaporean grind heavyweights Wormrot as tour support. “They've been one of the top grindcore bands for the last 10 years,” J.R. said. “You just have to make sure they don't blow you off the stage.”Known for their blistering speed, raw aggression, and lyrics that dive deep into the bleakest aspects of the human psyche, Pig Destroyer isn't softening with age. “We always just try to write the craziest thing we can,” said J.R. “We don't care about record sales—we never have. We just want to play it as hard as we can.”While their music is undeniably dark, the band members are anything but grim. “Live, we're just a bunch of idiots,” J.R. laughed. “You can't really cover that up.”A staunch believer in the rawness of sound, J.R. remains adamantly against over-polished production. “The best music is flawed music,” he insisted. “When things are too perfect, it just becomes Katy Perry to me. It doesn't sound like it's made by people.” If Pig Destroyer's next album ends up being a live one, let it be known that the idea was planted into J.R's mind by one incredible interviewer for Heavy Mag (I'm talking about myself).For first-timers catching Pig Destroyer on this Australian run, expect chaos in the best way, a full assault on all the senses. “Usually it's the mosh pit that hits them first,” he said. “Then the volume—it's so loud it becomes a physical experience.”As for what keeps the fire burning after decades in the underground, J.R. summed it up simply: “We never wanted to be a popular band. We just wanted to be a crazy band. Grindcore scratches an itch that nothing else can.”Catch Pig Destroyer with Wormrot on Aussie shores in September.

Interview by Kris PetersMumbai-based extreme metal band Gutslit are renowned as India's leading force in brutal death metal and grindcore. Formed in 2007, the quartet—comprising Gurdip Singh Narang (bass), Aaron Pinto (drums), Kaushal LS (vocals), and Prateek Rajagopal (guitar)—is celebrated for their relentless intensity, precise musicianship, and savage songwriting. Their music blends grinding riffs, pummelling blast beats, vicious bass grooves, and chilling guttural vocals, establishing them as a critically acclaimed act in the global extreme metal scene. With a career spanning 18 years, Gutslit has toured extensively, performing in 25 countries, a record for Indian metal bands, including regular European festival runs and a recent Japan tour supporting Nile in October 2024.Now, it's Australia's turn. Gutslit are set to embark on their first-ever Australian tour - titled the Party Down Under '25 tour - this August, marking a significant milestone as they bring their explosive live performances to six cities. Organized by Grindhead Productions, the tour kicks off on August 22, 2025, at The Back Room in Brisbane, featuring support from Australian brutal death metal band Gosika (Wollongong, NSW) and, for the Brisbane show, additional acts Snake Mountain and Nembutolik.HEAVY caught up with Narang and Pinto to find out what we can expect."I formed the band 18 years ago," Narang began, giving us some incite into Gutslit, "with the whole idea of just playing music that we love the most. Back then we started off with brutal death metal and grind, and now we are slowly progressing into thicker versions of death metal and brutal death metal coming together.""When Gutslit started, there was no band who was doing music like what we are doing." Pinto added. "So Gurdip and the previous iteration of Gutslit were the pioneers of brutal death metal and brutal death grind in India."We mention Gutslit's reputation for their intense live shows and ask what we can expect."You have to come down and just throw it out there," Narang replied. "It's all about enjoying the music; it's all about enjoying the multiples. If you're into death metal or brutal death grind or brutal death metal or slam, you're going to get it all."In the full interview, Gurdip and Aaron provided an overview of Gutslit's history, highlighting their influence in the brutal death metal scene in India since 2007 and their connection to Australia dating back to 2012. They detailed the tour's structure, which will feature a mix of songs from previous albums and potential covers, with an emphasis on creating an engaging atmosphere for fans.The band expressed excitement about the local support acts in Brisbane and other cities, and the inclusion of Gosika as the national support act. We talk about touring a country for the first time and how much homework they do before coming, their difficulties in gaining global traction coming from India, new material and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
Interview by Kris PetersSingapore grindcore band Wormrot, known for their intense, fast-paced, and boundary-pushing music, are headed our way for a ferocious double touring bill which also includes Pig Destroyer. Formed in 2007 after the members completed their mandatory national service, Wormrot have released four studio albums and several EPs, touring extensively through Europe and the United States, in the process becoming the first Singaporean act to play at the Glastonbury Festival.Following the recent reuniting of the original line-up, the band have spent the first part of 2025 touring the UK and Europe and after a couple of months to refresh hit Australia in September.Guitarist Rasyid joined HEAVY to talk about the tour. We ask about their pairing with Pig Destroyer and the relationship between the two bands."We have played before together," he nodded. "It was on the Napalm Death campaign for the Musical Destruction Tour. Before that I was acquainted with Adam Jarvis through Misery Index so then we started talking, and we took the Pig Destroyer on the tour bus. It was fun. Nice guys and we are quite excited to see them again."We ask what Aussie fans can expect from Wormrot live."We just play hard and fast," Rasyid grinned. "I don't know what else to say, we just play hard and fast. We try to do a curated set with less talk in between and just more attack, so we'll see (laughs)."In the full interview, Rasyid spoke about the upcoming tour and what to expect, the reuniting of himself with the other two original band members and Wormrot's recent live album TNT, noting that the setlist for the Australian shows will differ from that. He also discussed the current music scene in Singapore, highlighting the decline of metal culture since the band's inception in 2007, while punk and hardcore shows remain popular. Rasyid acknowledged the challenges of establishing a global presence without local peers and mentioned that their increasing recognition in Europe and the US is beginning to resonate back home. The band is currently focused on touring and plans to start writing new music in early 2024.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Send us a textWe're joined by guitarist and founding member Maik Weichert of German metal titans Heaven Shall Burn, as the band returns with their latest and most striking release to date—Heimat. Known for fusing unrelenting heaviness with deep social and political themes, Heaven Shall Burn once again proves why they've remained one of the most respected voices in modern metal.In this conversation, Maik dives into the broader meaning behind Heimat—an album that expands on the idea of “home” beyond geography. It reflects on both the physical homelands of different people and the spiritual sense of home—something that shapes identity, drives belief, and influences how we move through the world. It's a bold, thoughtful take that reinforces the band's commitment to making music with purpose.After more than two decades as a band, maintaining urgency and relevance is no small feat, but Heaven Shall Burn continues to evolve without compromising their message or power.AOTY contender, Heimat is out now worldwide via Century Media Records.

Présentée par Jeff - Partie BELENOS à 0:31:36 BELENOS fait partie des murs de la scène extrême hexagonale. Avec son nouvel album Egor, le projet breton célèbre aussi son trentième anniversaire. Ce dixième enregistrement studio clôture une trilogie débutée avec Kornog de 2016. Basée sur les trois éléments chez les Celtes, Egor représente ainsi l'élément feu. Il s'agit toutefois d'un feu stellaire, vu à grande échelle, à l'image de l'artwork qui représente cet opus. Nous en discutons avec son compositeur Loïc Cellier, avec qui nous prendrons un certain plaisir à observer le chemin parcouru par Belenos au cours de ses trente années actives… Pour la première partie d'émission, nous terminons cette saison avec trois nuances de black metal. Nous démarrerons avec le depressive black à tendance fortement atmosphérique d'AUSTERE. La formation australienne, très prolifique ces dernières années, propose The Stillness of Dissolution dans la droite lignée de ses deux prédécesseurs. Plus rentre-dedans, les Suédois de LORD BELIAL sont aussi à notre programme. Le dixième album Unholy Trinity sortira le 27 juin prochain. Enfin, nous diffuserons un titre de Nocturne, nouvel album de l'atypique formation HEXVESSEL. Album assez inclassable stylistiquement, mais qui parlera forcément aux amateurs de la scène.
Interview by Kris PetersFrom the fractured depths of Australia's extreme metal underground emerges Hebephrenique, a sonic entity conjured to annihilate the boundaries between chaos and control. Rooted in a volatile blend of death metal and blackened dissonance, Hebephrenique deliver auditory psychosis with surgical precision and unrelenting ferocity.Formed to embody the fractured psyche of the modern world, Hebephrenique channels themes of mental decay, institutional horror, and existential collapse through relentless blastbeats, jagged riffs, and unhinged vocal torment. Unapologetically raw yet technically calculated, Hebephrenique are not here to entertain—they're here to rupture minds. In 2023, they inflicted their debut EP Non Compos Mentis upon the masses, and with a debut album due in 2025, prepare for the sonic depravity.With Hebephrenique one of 30 bands at Necrosonic Festival 2025 playing over three stages at the Mansfield Tavern on August 23 - joining Portal, Bolzer, Abramelin, Beanflepper, Frankenbok, Alarum, Massic, DaysEnd and more - HEAVY caught up with frontman Chris to find out more."We're really, really excited," he beamed when we asked how the band are feeling about Necrosonic 2025. "We actually got asked to play last year, and unfortunately, just with scheduling, we couldn't make it happen, and luckily we got to do it this year. We're actually bringing in our debut album this time around with us, so we get to play some live songs that have never been played before, which is really exciting."In the full interview, Chris expressed excitement about the festival's strong line up and reflected on the previous year's success while emphasizing the importance of showcasing Australian talent. He acknowledged the efforts of Kent, the festival organizer, in coordinating the event with 30 bands. He also discussed Hebephrenique's musical style, which combines early Black Death Metal with themes of mental health, and highlighted the differences between their new album, set for release on August 23, and their 2023 EP Non Compos Mentis.We spoke about the band's brutal live shows and what to expect and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Présentée par Jeff - Partie DARKENHÖLD à 0:33:47 Darkenhöld déploie depuis 2008 un univers autour d'un imaginaire médiéval onirique, arpentant les légendes et des forêts et les montagnes élevées du Sud-Est de la France, sur fond de black metal inspiré des 90's. Le sixième album, Le Fléau du Rocher, raconte plusieurs histoires en une, la principale étant tissée autour d'une guerre fratricide et d'une conspiration pour le trône… À cela se mêle mysticisme, sorcières et fantômes. Nous discutons de ce nouvel opus avec le chanteur et parolier Cerventes dans ce nouvel épisode de PFA. Également au programme pour la première partie d'émission : SARGEIST, TRIVAX et OBSIDIAN TONGUE.
Présentée par Jeff Trente-septième épisode de l'émission metal extrême de Radio Metal PFA pour sa treizième saison. Quatre nouveautés dans la procession avec ...AND OCEANS, MARTWA AURA, FEVERSEA et BALMOG. Également au programme, un entretien du lundi soir de Jeff... avec lui-même. Pour ne pas tomber dans la solitude narcissique la plus profonde, les questions sont posées par les fidèles de l'émission !
Présentée par Jeff Trente-sixième numéro pour la treizième saison de la session extrême PFA avec notamment le schizophrénique black metal de MEDICO PESTE, les créatures de DECIMA, l'ambivalence de ONDFØDT, le death metal tranchant d'ANTROPOMORPHIA et les êtres mystérieux de IDOLOS.
In this episode, we definately talk about Coroner's 1988 album Punishment for Decadence, and definately don't spend most of the episode talking about anything but due to a total lack of attention span.
From addiction to Czech prison: Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe shares his journey of sobriety and accountability in extreme metal's unforgiving world.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1150What We Discuss with Randy Blythe:In hindsight, Randy Blythe is grateful his metal band, Lamb of God, grew a gradual following over 30 years instead of catching instant fame and fortune. He credits this slow growth from humble beginnings for his survival, maintaining perspective and gratitude for the band's success.After battling alcoholism for 22 years, Randy made a life-saving choice in 2010 that he's maintained ever since: sobriety over ennui.In 2012, Randy was arrested in the Czech Republic on manslaughter charges after a fan died following a concert two years prior. Despite advice not to return, he chose to face trial to give the family answers and was eventually acquitted.Randy emphasizes the importance of regularly examining and questioning your own beliefs — despite how scary the answers you find might be.If you feel powerless and you're looking for a small way to have a big, positive impact on the world, Randy suggests joining the National Bone Marrow Registry (formerly Be The Match). It's free, only requires a simple cheek swab, and you could potentially save someone's life. Contributions are especially needed from underrepresented minority donors.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Send us a textValletta's fusion of blackened arena rock and melancholic grunge n' roll creates a sound that defies easy classification. Their upcoming debut album Summer promises to dismantle metal conventions with its raw, electrifying energy, pushing the genre into new, uncharted territories.Comprised of seasoned musicians, Valletta's lineup includes drummer Justin Valletta and bassist/backing vocalist Donald Boyd (both from Mo'ynoq), guitarist/lead vocalist Keenan Carroll (Lord Almighty, ex-Barishi), and guitarist/backing vocalist Will Goodyear (Hopesfall, Prayer for Cleansing, ex-Between The Buried and Me). With their diverse musical backgrounds, each member brings something unique to the table, culminating in a sound that's fresh, innovative, and unrelentingly powerful.The band's debut full-length Summer promises to take their musicianship to the next level. Featuring 12 tracks, the album is built on the foundation of heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and a dynamic exploration of contrasts—elements that make Valletta's sound so distinctive.In discussing the creative process behind Summer, the band offered insight into the album's thematic exploration of contrasts:“The new album has been a real exploration in tearing down walls that we had previously built up over the years. Each of us comes from different musical backgrounds, and there's been a strong sense of letting go and allowing the music to unfold, regardless of how uncomfortable it may be. That's been the beauty of this journey we've started together, and it's been a great ride so far!During the writing process, a constant theme that emerged was the idea of duality. From heavier, grimier riffs to beautiful, stoic melodies. From slower, muddy depths to faster, anthemic leads. From frozen wastelands to summer nights, we've been on a journey to explore our limitations musically and emotionally. Spin that shit up!”Summer will be available on October 4 via Forcefield Records in CD, vinyl, and digital formats, delivering a sonic experience that's sure to leave a lasting impact.www.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.
