Interview by Kris PetersThis August, Tasmania's finest export, extreme metal pioneers, Psycroptic join like-minded-and-saxophone-wielding US progressive death wizards Rivers of Nihil for a co-headline tour that brings together two elite bands operating at the highest tier of modern death metal.For Psycroptic, the timing couldn't be stronger. Off the back of relentless global touring alongside the likes of Dying Fetus, Ne Obliviscaris and Six Feet Under, the recently released singles, Architecture of Extinction and Falling, plus their ninth studio album set for a mid year release via Metal Blade Records, the band continue to prove why they remain Australia's most respected technical metal export more than two decades in.Fellow Metal Blade label mates, Rivers of Nihil arrive riding the momentum of their 2025 self-titled release, a record that tightened their sound without losing the scope that has defined them since Where Owls Know My Name. Now fronted by bassist Adam Biggs, the band's current form is more potent than it ever was.Joining them on all dates are Melbourne's psychologically charged Growth who are on the eve of releasing part two of their highly anticipated album trilogy, Under The Under, and Sydney's uncompromisingly brutal, Slaughtercult, rounding out a bill that is equal parts precision, atmosphere and outright savagery.HEAVY caught up with Biggs to find out more, starting with what has changed with Rivers Of Nihil since they were last out here in 2023."Since then we've put out a new record that we did last year," he measured. "It's our fifth studio album and a self-titled record, and is the first one with yours truly on on vocals alongside our new guitarist, Andy Thomas, also providing his soaring clean vocals and such like that. So it's a mix up in the lineup of the band, but I think we've put together a strong cluster of songs, especially to bring to the stage."With the tour being billed as a co-headline event, we ask Biggs if that means themselves and Psycroptic will alternate playing last each night or whether it means something else."I think we're playing the same length set," he replied, obviously unsure himself. "I can't remember if we are alternating or not, but I'm fairly certain it's Psycroptic closing the show for the most part. I mean, we're on on their home turf and they're the national Australian death metal band so it's hard to argue with that (laughs)."In the full interview, Adam spoke more about the tour and what to expect, including having the final date at Necrosonic Festival in Brisbane. We talked about what fans can expect, as well as his recent transition to frontman and how easy that move was for him.Their latest self titled album was mentioned, including which album song was the most challenging to learn to play live and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

John's daughter, Julia, has a new boyfriend and John just found out he is a musician. But the kind of music he plays rarely comes across John's desk...

The BreakdownMost bands have a story, but few have the wild, hilarious, and sometimes downright bizarre adventures these guys do. Imagine walking into a garage and being told “Hey, you're the vocalist now” — without asking. Or the time their van was attacked by skinwalkers on a Texas highway. If you think “crazy band stories” are just a cliché, think again. This episode with Know Suffer is a no-holds-barred, no-suffer (see what I did there?) look into a band that's been around for nearly three decades, witnessing everything from skinwalkers to crashed vans, all while keeping it real, raw, and deeply musical.You'll discover how a band's evolution is more than just riffs and lyrics — it's about respect, resilience, and surviving the chaos that comes with being real in a scene that's always changing. We break down their wildest road trip stories, from a fog so thick it felt like a horror movie, to a mechanic who fixed their fuel pump with a sparepart — in 40 minutes flat. Jay and Toast spill the tea on what it's like to be the “big fish” in El Paso's scene, their secret to longevity, and how they thrive amidst Texas's massive, sprawling tour circuits.We delve into their latest album “The Curse of Care,” exploring the songwriting process, lyrical depth, and how they stay true to their roots—metalcore, death metal, and everything in between. Plus, get the scoop on their future plans — a Texas takeover, a legendary Texas BBQ recipe, and why “the more you suffer, the more you know.” Whether you're a hardcore fan or just love stories about bands risking it all on the road, this episode is packed with heart, humor, and some seriously good riffs.Ready for stories that are just as heavy as the music? Perfect for fans of wild tour tales, underground scenes, and the honest grit behind the riffs. Hit play and join the chaos — these are the tales you won't believe, told straight from the heart of a true Texas metal scene.The Curse of Care is Know//Suffer's latest EP, released March 13, 2026 via Silent Pendulum Records.Episode InfoIG: https://www.instagram.com/knowsuffer/Website: https://silentpendulumrecords.com/collections/know-sufferATXMP Website: https://atxmp.transistor.fm/Sponsors / AffiliatesCome and Take It Productions: https://www.comeandtakeitproductions.comCome and Take It Live: https://www.comeandtakeitlive.com/No Control Radio: https://www.klbjfm.com/show/no-control/Chapters00:00 Introduction to Know//Suffer01:59 The Formation of Know//Suffer05:39 Life as a Metal Band in El Paso11:23 Navigating the Music Scene Dynamics16:54 Road Trip Stories and Experiences21:02 Strange Encounters on the Road22:31 The Life of a Drummer24:14 Unexpected Mechanical Failures26:22 The Texas Music Scene27:56 The EP Release Party34:45 Defining Success in Music39:42 The Evolution of Seeker and Personal Connections42:04 The Concept of Dad Rock and Its Transformation45:06 Exploring New Music and Creative Processes46:55 The Depth of Lyrics and Their Impact52:18 The Journey of No Suffer and Musical Diversity01:00:15 The Exclusive Beater Drop01:01:22 Caffeine and Good Vibes01:02:19 Midsommar and Movie Experiences01:03:05 Merch Ideas and Creative Concepts01:05:16 Future Plans and Austin Shows01:07:25 Shoutouts and Social Media Presence01:15:36 The Power of Music and Community01:17:42 Barbecue and Culinary Connections

Neben Nirvana und Pearl Jam gehört Alice in Chains zu den bekanntesten und erfolgreichsten Vertretern des Grunge, einer Rockmusik, die sich in den 1990er Jahren in Seattle entwickelt hat. Viele dieser Bands hatten ein typisches Punkoutfit, sagt der Mannheimer Popexperte Udo Dahmen. Songs und Musik seien von Schwermütigkeit geprägt und von einer deutlichen Kritik an der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft. Alice in Chains verstanden sich vor allem als „Metalband“, die in Black Sabbath und Deep Purple ihre Vorbilder sah. Das Stück „Man in the Box“ beschreibt einen Menschen, der in einem Stall gefangen ist. Ein Bild für die Manipulation und Gleichschaltung der Öffentlichkeit durch Zensur. Der Song wurde im Januar 1991 als Single veröffentlicht und 1992 für einen Grammy Award für die beste Hard-Rock-Performance nominiert.

Interview by Kris PetersPhoenix Arizona legends BLESSTHEFALL are headed our way with Memphis May Fire later this month, for their first Australian shows in over a decade.Following a hiatus after their 2018 album Hard Feelings, BLESSTHEFALL returned, teasing new music in 2025 and embracing their "mallcore" roots. Formed in the early 2000s, they are considered veterans of the post-hardcore/metalcore scene, having gone through various lineup changes while keeping key members like vocalist Beau Bokan and bassist/vocalist Jared Warth and have hit the ground running since their return.The pairing of Memphis May Fire is a seismic team-up that promises to redefine metalcore, delivering unrelenting riffs, breakdowns, and anthemic screams to ravenous crowds. With over two decades of combined touring dominance, these two bands have shared stages worldwide, from Warped Tour to packed U.S. arenas, and now they're bringing their explosive synergy to Australia!HEAVY sat down for an entertaining chat with Bokan, starting by asking what has changed with Blessthefall since their last visit in 2014."We've gotten a little older," Bokan smiled. "We've gotten a little wiser - maybe not too much wiser (laughs). We took a hiatus for a little bit and came back in in 2023 and it's been so fun to be back and active and seeing metalcore thriving. So many people are rediscovering us or discovering us for the first time so it's really cool. We're just...  we do what we do. We like to have fun on stage, so we like to party. But I think a little bit of the stuff that's changed is trying to just sound better on stage, you know. Obviously, we like to jump and run around and be exciting, but at the same time we don't want to sacrifice our sound too much. I feel like now, more than ever... you play a show and it's on the internet in five minutes so the bar is set really high. So just focusing, and for me, personally, singing better and trying to make sure I'm hitting the notes but also putting on a show. We don't want to sacrifice too much of the excitement and the showmanship, stuff like that."In the full interview, Beau spoke more about the tour and what we can expect from Blessthefall. He told us why themselves and Memphis May Fire compliment each other beautifully in the live arena, highlighting past shows they have played together and their close friendship outside of touring.He spoke about their 'comeback album Gallows and how it was received, admitting there were a few nervous moments before it was released in relation to how much their time off would actually impact the band moving forward. We spoke about Blessthefall moving forward, including playing some of the worlds biggest festivals after they finish in Australia and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

The band joins us to talk about the record, how they preserve their vocals after doing a lot of screaming, and much more!To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Pipeman chats with Coosh (vocals) and Pete Rizzi (bass) from New Jersey's red hot heavy rock/metal band WHO ON EARTH who will be releasing their new album, It Takes The Village, on May 8thCurrent Singles: VigilanceFor Fans Of: Iron Maiden, Dio, Queensryche, Ozzy, Ghost, ClutchWho On Earth cut its teeth through relentless gigging across the New York tri-state area, with founding members Coosh and Pete previously tearing up stages as MadHaus. During 2020, the longtime collaborators shifted focus from covers to original material, quickly writing ten songs and entering Sonic Stomp Studio with producer Mike Orlando (Category 7, Adrenaline Mob). Joined by drummer Joe D'Aqui, the group crafted a heavy, story-driven sound rooted in influences like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Alice in Chains, and Tool. Despite pandemic delays, the sessions yielded their debut full-length album Blame', released in October 2022.Following the addition of guitarists Bruce Gatewood and Johnny James Barone, the band gained traction with a heavier reimagining of Toto's “Hold the Line,” now their most-streamed track. Lineup changes continued with drummer Howie Fallon joining in 2024, bringing renewed chemistry and power, though tragedy struck later that year with the passing of Gatewood. In late 2024, Jimmy Kocha joined, filling the role of co-lead guitarist, solidifying the lineup that is currently in full force today. Honoring his legacy, the band pushed forward, releasing the Smoke & Mirrors EP in March 2025—a sharp, socially reflective six-song release. The group is currently at work on a new full-length album, slated for release in early 2026.Click Here to Subscribe to The Adventures of Pipeman for PERKS, BONUS Content & FREE GIVEWAYS! Pipeman in the Pit is a music, festival, and interview segment of The Adventures of Pipeman Radio Show (#pipemanradio) and from The King of All Festivals while on The Pipeman Radio Tour. Pipeman in the Pit features all kinds of music and interviews with bands & music artists especially in the genres of Heavy Metal, Rock, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Punk Rock, Goth, Industrial, Alternative, Thrash Metal & Indie Music.

Interview by Kris PetersKnown for their fiery fusion of anthemic modern metal and powerful melodic rock, Sweden's SELF DECEPTION have shared stages with the likes of Electric Callboy, Danko Jones, and Adept since their 2009 debut, while racking up millions of streams and video views – including their viral 2022 hit, Fight Fire With Gasoline, with tens of millions of streams. Written on the road during the heaviest touring of SELF DECEPTION's career so far, their upcoming album One Of Us is a cohesive record full of character, made for the stage – and the pit!From massive pit churners to creative storylines and choruses full of hit potential, the energy on One Of Us is unmatched. The band has a busy festival summer following the album's release, so fans will get the first chance to experience these new tracks live at several major European rock and metal festivals. With One Of Us, SELF DECEPTION is ready to push contemporary rock to the next level, but to find out more HEAVY sat down with vocalist Andreas Clark, asking him to describe One Of Us musically."We never have a plan beforehand," he began. "It kind of becomes what it is. When we started on our own feet, we just decided one day that we wanted to try some new stuff. And every new idea that we can throw into the songs, however crazy it sounds, we've got to try it first. Ever since then, it's been a motto for us to do that. And so this album is written a lot on tour.We've been touring extensively and we've realized during touring and during writing this album that's what we wanted to capture. We wanted to capture so it feels like it's live and has actual musicians behind it. We used to think that perfecting everything was the way to go, but now every imperfection can add quality to it so it's a more organic album than we've ever done."In the full interview, Andreas explained that signing with Napalm Records eased the burden the band had carried while crowdfunding and self-managing, providing reduced pressure and additional collaborative support. He described the album as largely written on the road with the aim of capturing a live, organic feel, deliberately accepting imperfections rather than chasing studio polish.He said the band avoided strict pre-planning, experimenting with many ideas during songwriting and that despite that variety and diversity within their music, the record remains cohesive through consistent vocals and signature drum fills. Specific elements discussed included the song title Ketamine Cowboy, which grew from tour conversations, and the monkey-mask album artwork, chosen to symbolize the mosh-pit persona and the communal energy of live metal shows. We spoke about the recently postponed Australian tour and when they might be rescheduled, the genesis of the band name and more.Get your copy of One Of Us: lnk.to/SelfDeception-ONEOFUS/napalmrecordsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

A song can be catchy, polished, and still leave you cold. Another can hit one weird synth moment and suddenly your brain is locked in. We lean into that tension while we keep our Women's Month run going, spotlighting women artists and women-fronted acts across K-pop, Thai pop, Japanese reggae, and K-rock.We start with EVERGLOW's “Code,” talking through what changes when a group moves companies and shrinks from six members to four. The track has a club-ready pulse and a glossy K-pop build, but we don't just stamp it “bop” and move on. We argue about whether pop “generic” is a flaw or the whole point, and why certain melodies, textures, and vocal choices either stick for days or slide right off.From there, we chase a music industry mystery with PRETZELLE's “Ready or Not,” a bright Thai pop song that shows up as a new release even though the group has disbanded. That opens a deeper conversation about global release dates, labels, and how fans experience music discovery now. Then Akane's “No More Cry” shifts the entire mood with Japanese reggae and dancehall energy, delivering a message about unity and choosing community when the world feels split.Finally, we throw the “monkey wrench” into the playlist: ChRocktikal's “Peace,” a brand-new rock band fronted by Dreamcatcher's Lee Siyeon. If you miss the feel of classic heavy rock and early metal with clean, controlled powerhouse vocals, this one hits hard and makes the live-show temptation very real.Subscribe for more women in music picks, share this with a friend who needs new releases, and leave a review with the one track you're replaying most.EVERGLOW Instagram X YouTube CODEPRETZELLE Instagram X YouTube Ready or Not?Akane Instagram X YouTube NO MORE CRYChRocktikal Instagram X YouTube PEACESupport the showPlease help Music Elixir by rating, reviewing, and sharing the episode.

The Last Ten Seconds of Life were forged in 2010. Within a year, they were touring regularly and had self-released their debut album, Know Your Exits. By 2013, they unleashed their second album, Invivo [Exvivo], the prolific act would go on to release five more full lengths, each earning Billboard chart placements and reaping critical accolades both stateside and abroad. With a total of 50+ tours since 2011 with bands including Sepultura, Cattle Decapitation and The Black Dahlia Murder, TLTSOL are showing no signs of slowing down. On the contrary, they're looking to a 2026-2027 that's among the busiest times in the band's history. “Everyone in the group was a teenager or in their early 20s when this band started,” says guitarist Wyatt McLaughlin, concluding, “The sonic and lyrical growth has been immeasurable in ability and maturity. At this point it seems like another life!”Intense and intensely personal, the band's upcoming new album The Dead Ones marks THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE's Metal Blade Records debut. For the ten original tracks of pulverizing deathcore produced by Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Pennsylvania's Atrium Audio, the band focused on the guitar, bass, and drum tones as well as the mix/master to achieve what McLaughlin calls, “a super-thick sonic output and ‘rolling-tank'-like feel.”Lyrically, The Dead Ones follows 2024's acclaimed No Name Graves in the theme of death and rebirth, but in contrast, is directly focused on the human experience and the band members' own struggles. The Last Ten Seconds of Life have never been stronger as a unit. With singer Tyler Beam, bassist Andrew Petway and drummer Dylan Potts in the band since 2022, the chemistry is super-charged. “Everyone is very direct and any bumps in the road are solved through group conversations,” McLaughlin says. “Sometimes it takes years to find the right mix of people who all coincide at the right times in their lives to coexist and elevate each other and this is it for us.”HEAVY caught up with Tyler to find out more. We start by asking how he is feeling about the release."It is without a doubt the best piece of music that any of us have created or collaborated on," he replied confidently and honestly. "It's got a little piece of everything that we've ever made, put all together in one big album. And we touched on everything that the band has kind of touched on before since the beginning of the discography up into right now. So it's just a potpourri of everything that we absolutely love about the band."In the full interview, Tyler described the record as a concentrated blend of the band's past styles with an emphasis on heavy, groovy songwriting and tighter song structures after prior experimentation.Discussion then covered personnel and influences that shaped the record: the drummer's precision-focused death metal background, the bassist's Northeast deathcore roots, and Tyler's expanded songwriting role on this album. Guest appearances were drawn from longtime friends and alumni, including the original lead singer on one track as an homage to the band's past. Technical choices contributing to the band's distinct low-end included a six-string baritone tuned to drop F. He outlined the album's lyrical and conceptual focus that centers on themes of death, rebirth, and community identity as The Dead Ones and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Pipeman interviews horror/industrial metal band Horror Scene. Our music blends aggressive metal with horror storytelling, characters, and cinematic themes. We'd love to come on your podcast to talk horror influences, creating dark characters through music, and the intersection of horror films and metal.Welcome to Your HellHorror Scene emerged from the underground of Harrisburg, PA with one mission: to turn fear into music. Formed by a group of musicians obsessed with horror cinema, psychological thrillers, serial killers and the darker edges of industrial metal and rock, the band fuses theatrical storytelling with heavy, atmospheric soundscapes. Their songs explore themes of dread, hauntings, obsession, and the monsters—real or imagined—that live inside us all.On stage, Horror Scene transforms the venue into their own chilling universe. Fog, distorted visuals, blood-red lights, and immersive sound design create a multisensory experience that blurs the line between concert and horror film. Their electrifying live shows have earned them a fiercely loyal fanbase drawn to the adrenaline, the spectacle, and the catharsis. Touring the US with such acts like Soulfly has helped the band have a better understanding of how to adjust to a crowd to give them the best entrainment experience the band has to offer.Musically, Horror Scene pulls inspiration from industrial metal, gothic rock, modern metalcore, and classic horror film scores. The result is a sound that blends cinematic tension with explosive energy: pounding drums, razor-sharp guitars, haunting synths, and vocals that shift from melodic to monstrous. Working with Producer Daniel Malsch has helped the band develop their sound into something unique with a twist.Click Here to Subscribe to The Adventures of Pipeman for PERKS, BONUS Content & FREE GIVEWAYS! Pipeman in the Pit is a music, festival, and interview segment of The Adventures of Pipeman Radio Show (#pipemanradio) and from The King of All Festivals while on The Pipeman Radio Tour.Pipeman in the Pit features all kinds of music and interviews with bands & music artists especially in the genres of Heavy Metal, Rock, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Punk Rock, Goth, Industrial, Alternative, Thrash Metal & Indie Music.

Is gatekeeping helping or hurting the metal scene? In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most heated debates in heavy music: Is gatekeeping actually healthy for metal, or is it holding the genre back? We explore why some fans insist gatekeeping protects the culture, how elitism can damage growth and creativity, the impact gatekeeping has on new listeners, emerging artists, and the future of the metal community. From passionate defenders of tradition to those pushing for a more open and evolving scene, we break down the arguments on both sides and discuss what it really means for metal's future.

Get ready for an aggressive dose of thrash speculation! Rex and Duff are diving deep into the hype surrounding the upcoming Megadeth album. While the album isn't out yet, we're laying out our predictions: Will it be a return to their golden era? Will it feature more technical fire or a return to a simpler groove? We'll break down the recent singles and updates, and of course, spend time talking about Dave Mustaine's controversial cover of the iconic Metallica track, "Ride the Lightning." Was it a brilliant nod or a petty power play? You know we have opinions! Then, we transition to a guaranteed laugh-out-loud segment: Messed-Up Things to Get Signed by a Metal Band including the weirdest, funniest, and most inappropriate items that fans have shoved in front of metal icons to sign.

For 16 years, St. Louis band Fister has brought their own brand of heavy metal doom to fans across the world.

Snarzyk shares the keys to Fister's success, how their music and the metal scene has evolved over the years as well as their affinity for storytelling.

Ever wondered what it takes to bridge the worlds of punk, literature, rock climbing, and cinematic music videos? On this episode of Bringin' It Backwards, Adam sits down with Nik Leuthold of the band NONEXISTER for an honest conversation that pulls back the curtain on an extraordinary artistic journey. Growing up in Zurich with a feminist author as a mother, Nik was a published co-author by age 12, and soon found himself immersed in the gritty, heart-driven world of DIY punk and hardcore scenes. But his story didn't stop there—rock climbing and running a venue in the Spanish mountains followed, before returning to Switzerland to launch NONEXISTER and craft a debut album where every music video feels like a short film. Nik dives deep into how his literary upbringing shapes his songwriting, why collaborating openly sparks the best art, and the lengths the band goes to create jaw-dropping visuals—including a single-shot music video featuring a freediver holding her breath for four minutes. From writing fiction and theater to pushing boundaries in music and video, Nik's story is a testament to creative evolution and collaboration. If you're a musician, artist, or just love stories about pursuing creative dreams from every angle, this episode will leave you inspired—and might just change the way you think about what's possible as an artist. Listen in, and don't forget to subscribe to Bringin' It Backwards for more real conversations with the artists shaping the future of music.
