Podcasts about Metalhead

It is refreshing to hear old school metal bands still pushing their limits and exploring fresh sonic realms, even with a sound that is known and loved and has been for more than 40 years. It is understandable when some bands mutter the words 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', but that still shouldn't stop the creative juices from flowing, if only to challenge yourself.Which is exactly what happened with thrash metal legends Testament and their upcoming album, Para Bellum. While not detouring too far from the music for which they are universally loved and respected, Testament have found ways to reinvigorate their tried and true sound without risking the alienation of staunch, loyal fans.On this album, Testament have leaned more into the black metal side of their musical psyche, a side embraced by guitarist Eric Peterson, who tapped into the more modern aspects of metal with drummer Chris Dovas, who was working on his first album with the band. Noticeably younger than his bandmates, Dovas brought the taste of the present into Testament's creativity, with the results only solidifying the band's sound.Such is the all-encompassing sound Testament were going for with Para Bellum, the opening notes feature an old bridge thought lost from The Legacy era of the band, coming full circle in a way while still embracing change. Para Bellum is triumphant on so many levels, maybe none more so than the addition of the song Meant To Be, which is Testament's first album ballad for many years. It is exciting times for a band just about to release their 14th studio album, with frontman Chuck Billy joining HEAVY to bring us up to speed.We ask about the album title, Para Bellum - which is Latin for If You Want Peace, Prepare For War, and how it fits in with the content."First of all, it fit in with the artwork," Billy explained. "Originally we were gonna call it Infanticide AI, but that didn't really match the direction. We thought, AI, let's not go there, because maybe fans might start thinking, 'is that album cover AI? Did they use AI to write lyrics in all this?'So we said, you know what? Let's not open that door. And once me and Alex wrote Parra Bellum, and I told him what it meant, it made more sense with what he was working on with the artwork, because we knew we wanted a mushroom cloud there in the background. And I didn't know about the angel and the missile wings, but once they came up with it, it just made sense. It's subliminally war-driven a little bit, talking about silent weapons and things that are going on in our world."In the full interview, Chuck spoke more about the musical nature of Para Bellum and what they were going for this time around, the elements of black metal through most of the music and how it enhances the band's sound, the contributions of new drummer Chris Dovas in the writing and recording process and what ideas he brought to the table.We spoke about bringing a slightly modern edge to their existing sound of the importance of always trying to come up with fresh ideas, the album ballad and why now is the right time to write another one after so many years, the use of cello for that sound and how difficult it was to integrate it into their music, the meaning behind the album artwork and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Es ist die heiligste Kuh, die man in der Szene schlachten kann: die Metalkutte. Denn dazu haben die allermeisten Leute eine starke Meinung. Entweder wird sie gehasst, verlacht beziehungsweise als überkommenes Relikt wahrgenommen oder ist das wichtigste Utensil, was ein Metalhead am Körper tragen kann. Jedoch gibt es selbst zwischen den Kuttenträgern sehr unterschiedliche Meinungen dazu, wie man mit seiner Weste umgehen sollte. Wir wollen dazu heute einen Rundumschlag liefern.

Melbourne old school death metal machine Monoliyth have been steadily going about their craft for just over 25 years, grinding away on the circuit with a mission to do no more than offer a sonic distraction to the world around them.It is an often thankless task - faced by all bands - but Monoliyth have found their niche, originally starting life as more of a thrash metal band before finding their home in the nastier side of metal.Their recent release, He Who Kills, is a typical blast of aggression for Monoliyth, but this time there is a storyline to go with the carnage. A storyline that could very well be the visual accompaniment to Monoliyth's musical psyche. Each song on the album tells a tale of death and destruction through the eyes of a serial killer, with each tune showcasing a different protagonist and the evil that lurks within. It is a different, engaging, and highly confronting deviation from the norm, and one HEAVY wants to explore further when we speak to guitarist and founding member Mick Barr."Well, it wasn't anything serious," Barr replied when we asked where the idea came from. "Everything on YouTube or the old horror movies and stuff is always based on serial killers. And we thought maybe we can do something, looking through the eyes of the actual serial killers themselves and how they might perceive their surroundings or their ideology on why they do what they do. It's to do with the whole concept of how they might operate collectively. Am I a fan of serial killers? Absolutely not. I've seen plenty of docos on these people, and you can't make it up. You can't believe half the stuff they talk about."In the full interview, Mick discussed the album's musical direction, blending old school death metal with modern techniques, and highlighted the singles The Killing Floor, He Who Kills, and Excised Unborn as representations of their diverse sound. The album's concept, influenced by horror movies and online content, explores the perspective of a serial killer with a tongue-in-cheek tone, although Mick emphasised that the graphic material is not meant to be taken seriously.He reflected on the challenges of standing out in the competitive Australian music scene, while expressing satisfaction with the band's international reception, particularly in Europe. Upcoming performances include an album launch and participation in Brute Fest, with the album available for streaming and on vinyl, alongside plans for new material and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

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.

I Prevail swept into town like a rampaging force of nature with their debut album Lifelines in 2016. It was an album that screamed defiance from every note, emphatically heralding the arrival of I Prevail onto a musical landscape that was destined to be changed forever.While bands had previously flirted with fusions of post hardcore, metalcore, pop punk, hard rock, nu metal, electronics and hip hop, none had managed to find a completely happy medium, choosing more fleeting moments of amalgamation rather than combining all of the genres under one banner. But here was a band who seemingly found the perfect balance on their first offering.Prior to this, I Prevail had endeared themselves to the crossover metal community with a heavy take on Taylor Swift's Blank Space, but that proved to be merely an appetiser for the sonic feast that was to come.Despite attaining gold status over their first two albums as well as Grammy nominations previously unheard of for music of their preference, I Prevail refused to stick to what was already a winning formula, pushing themselves and their boundaries more and more with each release. Where many would find comfort, I Prevail found challenges, all of which have come together to form the nucleus of the band's fourth album, Violent Nature, which was released worldwide last week. It is an album of triumph over adversity, light where there should have been dark, and a defiant enthusiasm and hunger for personal musical fulfilment, which a betting man would say is still a long way from being satiated for this ever-evolving band.HEAVY caught up with frontman Eric Vanlerberghe recently to discuss Violent Nature and how it represents I Prevail at this current point of their career. We start by asking how the early reception has been for the album."It's been incredible," he replied. "Just seeing the love on it and playing some of these new songs live. We played one of the songs before the record came out, and people were just jumping. It felt great. It's good to finally have it out."We mention a quote from the press release that says I Prevail have taken things to the next level with Violent Nature and ask if he agrees."Yeah," he measured after a brief pause. "I think that's a fair assessment (laughs). Just like every record in the past, we always look back and go Okay, what can we do better? What can we improve, and how can we cut the fat? With the heavier stuff, I feel like we've gotten and created different ways to get heavier, and when it comes back to writing the hooks and choruses, we spent a lot of time to make sure we loved every single one of them. Each one felt like a 10 out of 10 before it went out the door. After 11 years of writing, I think we're just starting to get it (laughs)."In the full interview, Eric dives deeper into Violent Nature from a musical point of view, highlighting the opening track Synthetic Soul and how it came together. We discuss the recording process that was split in two parts and how that impacted the finished result, as well as this being the first time that I Prevail have actually recorded an album in a proper studio as opposed to more DIY methods.We talk about Eric taking on clean vocals for the album to go with his usual harsh singing, and how difficult the transition into the dual roles was. He told us about the variations writing for clean vocals had during the creative process, and how the band ironed out any bumps as they occurred. Talk also turned to the eclectic blending of genres and how I Prevail find their balance in the creative process, plus Eric discussed last year's Australian tour with Parkway Drive, and just when I Prevail might be planning their own run of shows and plenty more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Starting life in 2005 more influenced by deathcore sensibilities than their current, more accessible mixture of styles, Glasgow metal outfit Bleed From Within have gradually morphed into a style of their own over seven studio albums, the most recent of which being last month's irresistible offering, Zenith.Representing the past, present and future of Bleed From Within, Zenith captured the band at the peak of their prowess to date, solidifying their reputation for thinking outside of the metaphorical box and confirming their place amongst metal's elite. From incorporating bagpipes into their beautiful brutality through to commanding stages alongside Slipknot, Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium, Bleed From Within also stormed the main stage at the UK's Download festival in 2024, further cementing their stake as a must-see act for the ages.Now, it's Australia's turn as Bleed From Within join forces with The Ghost Inside for October's Going Down Under Tour, which got even bigger last week when Bleed From Within announced a one-off headlining show in Melbourne.HEAVY sat down with frontman Scott Kennedy to dive deeper."We're doing a headline tour of Europe at the moment," he began, "and we get back from this tour five days before we leave to come to Australia. We're proper excited about it. Australia has been on the cards for our 21 years as a band. It's one of those places we've been desperate to get to."We point out that Australian fans love the band, with Sydney featuring at #2 on Bleed From Within's Spotify Playlist and Brisbane at #4."I didn't know that, but that's amazing," he smiled. "We sort of did the same thing in America. We waited so long to go, and for no other reason than the fact we just didn't get the opportunity. We didn't get the right tour offer, but when it came, and we finally went there, it was just… it felt like people were hungry for it. It's almost like we starved the market for so long that when we went there, it was nuts, so I'm hoping that the same thing happens when we get to Australia."In the full interview, Scott talks more about the tour and what we can expect, touring with The Ghost Inside, their one-off side show and why there isn't more, plus their latest album Zenith and how it was received.We spoke about the band's comments at the time of Zenith's release that it represented Bleed From Within at the peak of their career and where they will go from here, the direction future music may take, how much musical growth is left in the band and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Australia's own BE'LAKOR finally return for a powerhouse run of home shows this October, bringing their signature blend of melodic death metal and progressive depth to stages across the East Coast to celebrate 20 YEARS OF LIVE BE'LAKOR. Renowned for their immersive soundscapes and acclaimed releases such as their most recent and much lauded effort, Coherence, the Melbourne five-piece continues to push themselves and captivate audiences worldwide.Joining them on this monumental run are progressive metal masters PERSEFONE, for their very first time on Australian soil. Hailing from the picturesque lands of Andorra, they have been a formidable presence in the progressive death metal scene since their inception in 2001. Renowned for their intricate compositions and thematic depth, the band masterfully blends technical prowess with melodic sensibility.Complimenting an already stellar lineup is ORPHEUS OMEGA, who will be celebrating the 10-year anniversary of their landmark album Partum Vita Mortem. A cornerstone of Australia's melodic death metal scene, they are well known for their dynamic blend of aggressive riffs, atmospheric keyboards, introspective lyrics and have consistently pushed the boundaries of the genre.With the tour set to start in just a few short weeks, HEAVY caught up with keyboard player Steve Merry to find out more. One of the topics of discussion was Be'Lakor's live show and what we can expect."Well, to be honest, it's just going to be a lot of riffs, a lot of melodies, a lot of harmonies, and not much else," Steve replied. "Not much chit-chat. We get up there, and we play our songs, and that's the way we like to do it. We're there for the music. What drives us is writing the music and then playing it so it'll be good fun."The term "immersive" is often used to describe Be'Lakor's sonic output, so we ask Steve just what that means."I think what that whole bit is talking about is a combination that the songs are long, and they go in all directions, and they often don't return to riffs," he measured. "So there's sort of a journey feeling to the music. We use a lot of atmospherics and a lot of spacious sounds around the actual guitars and drums and the core of the song. We'll chuck a lot of atmospheric stuff in as well. And I guess the lyrics, we do tell a story with the lyrics. So I think those three things together would be maybe what makes people say it's a bit immersive."In the full interview, Steve shared more details about their upcoming tour, 20 Years of Live Be'Lakor, highlighting the band's extensive rehearsal efforts and the inclusion of supporting acts Persefone and Orpheus Omega. He described the live performances as immersive experiences focused on music rather than audience interaction.We further discussed the evolution of BE'LAKOR's sound from their debut album, The Frail Tide, to their latest release, Coherence, noting a shift towards longer songs and a more mature style. Despite the success of Coherence, the band is dedicated to writing new material that resonates personally, currently being 60% through the writing process for their next album, while opting not to perform new songs on the tour to allow for further refinement, and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

When Melbourne noise machine and champion for the underdog Blood Duster called time in early December 2017, the Australian music scene lost one of the greats. Not just in terms of music, but, more importantly, in terms of old school ethos. The punk mentality of fuck you and whatever you rode in on that had by then thankfully settled into the heavier side of music.The band were an enigma. They cursed, they bled, they had an opinion, and they had an agenda. Which was purely based on fun and enjoyment of their music. The fact that every year since has seen some form of (false) whisper about an unlikely reunion has only helped strengthen the myth surrounding the music. Hell, HEAVY would not have even heard of the band were it not for their infamous CUNT shirts, which is another thing about the band that has remained intriguing.But this year was different. 2025 became the year when Blood Duster said yes to returning to Australian stages and said fuck it to any previous trepidation. And the lucky festival to secure that much sought-after signature?Blacken Open Air.As bass player Jason Fuller tells us during our chat, Blacken have come knocking every year since 2017, urging - sometimes pleading - with the band to make a resurgence at the hallowed grounds of the outback metal festival, but each request fell on deaf ears. Until now.Blood Duster will play their first gig on Australian soil in almost a decade as one of the headliners of Blacken Open Air 2025 (September 19 - 22), and HEAVY jumped at the chance to speak with the man behind the myth and behind the legend, Jason Fuller. We start by asking why now is the right time for a return outing."When we finished the band, we really kind of…" Fuller measured… "We felt like once you're releasing records; once you're destroying records before they can even be released, you've kind of reached peak annoyability for everyone (laughs). We did everything we had to do, and we were starting to do shows just for money, and it felt totally dishonest considering what Blood Duster is. It's supposed to be a party. We were at this point where we reached the peak of what we were gonna do and were getting annoyed with having to do it. So we just killed it. It's been eight years or whatever, and we just want to hang out with each other and have a party. All the heavy lifting is done. We don't have to fucking write anything. We don't have to go into a fucking release cycle. We don't have to worry about any of those things. We can just turn up, play some songs and have a ball. So that's where our heads at with all that."In the full interview, Jason talked more about why Blood Duster chose Blacken as their first gig back on home soil, the temptations and offers over the years, what to expect from Blood Duster live, what other bands he is looking forward to catching up with and the value of friendship within the metal community.We spoke about the diversity in Blacken's roster, the early days of Blood Duster and the musical climate that created them, their blending of genres before it was cool to do so and the future of the band after this show. And, of course, we talked about THAT shirt, with Jason recalling some funny moments because of that piece of merchandise and the album it spawned from.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

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.

It's hard to believe that a band who have dominated the global metal landscape for more than 35 years would be about to embark on their first ever Australian tour. Hard to believe, but also true in the case of England's most disconsolate export, pioneers and kings of doom metal, MY DYING BRIDE.Well known for haunting atmospheres and sorrowful tones whilst balancing uniquely heavy, desolate riffs with melancholic melodies, MY DYING BRIDE redefined musical misery with their earlier albums Turn Loose the Swans (1993), The Angel and the Dark River (1995) and Like Gods of the Sun (1996). A consistent flow of exceptionally sombre albums and EPs have followed, with highlights including The Dreadful Hours (2001), A Map of All Our Failures (2012), and today they continue their endless suffering like no other band of this ilk can.Aussie fans finally get the chance to see My Dying Bride live this month (September) when the band makes the trek Down Under for two select dates in Sydney and Melbourne. To commemorate the occasion, HEAVY sat down for a great chat with guitarist Andrew Craighan."We're about to come to Australia for the first time in our 35-year career or existence or whatever you want to call it," Andrew reiterated, "so we're all really quite excited about that, and some of us are still in shock that it's finally happening. Some of us are still shocked that it's happening at all (laughs)."We ask Andrew what he is expecting from Australian crowds, warning him that we do get a little crazy at times."I'm expecting that actually," he laughed, "and we're hoping that we can just hold it together to get the set done. We'll be happy with whatever takes place. These two shows that we're doing are very up close and personal type club shows. It's not like the festivals that we sometimes play in Europe, where the crowd's massive, and you're 20 feet away from everybody and 40 feet up in the air as well sometimes. So we appreciate it's very much a club show, and we haven't done many of them in the last few years, so for us, it's going to be almost like a blast from the past. We'll be going back in time to when people were really keen and really close at the same time, so it should be interesting."In the full interview, Andrew talks more about the tour and what we can expect, why it has taken this long for My Dying Bride to make it to Australia, what the set list will look like, new vocalist Mikko Kotamaki and why he was selected, how crowds have been responding to him, My Dying Bride moving forward, the early days of the band and where they fit in, if creating music gets easier or harder the more you put out, new music and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

It's been 8 long years, but ILL NIÑO, the trailblazing Latin-influenced metal band that redefined heavy music, is set to return for a blistering run of shows across Australia.Known primarily for their explosive live shows and genre-defining fusion of Latin-infused metal, Ill Nino have been in the headlines more recently following the departure of vocalist Marcos Leal and who would replace him. While fans around the world demanded a quick resolution, founding member and drummer Dave Chavarri held firm, refusing to throw just anyone into the cauldron.Instead, he waited patiently, shutting out the external noise, finally settling on Tommy Roulette (Jynx) to assume frontman duties. The decision came only weeks before Ill Nino set out for a recent tour of America, with all reports coming from reviewers and fans overwhelmingly positive.HEAVY sat down with both Chavarri and Roulette to get more information about the tour and transition of singers."We're fucking ready to go, man," Chavarri said excitedly. "We're going to fucking destroy for sure. We're psyched. We just came off a month-long tour in the United States with a Power Man 5000/Ill Nino co-headline that was fucking packed every night. And, you know, we're ready to go, man. We're well-oiled and ready to fucking rock right now."We ask Roulette how he is settling in."I've been with the guys for a couple of months now," he replied, "and everyone's super great. I couldn't ask to be with a greater group of guys right now. It truly is an honour. I'm very grateful and thankful to be here. I'm not taking this for granted, and I'm very excited for what the future holds."In the full interview, the discussion centred on Ill Nino's upcoming Australian tour, set to begin on September 12. Dave highlighted the successful recent performances in the U.S. and introduced Tommy as the new vocalist, who expressed his excitement about joining the band and experiencing Australia's music scene. Tommy shared his background in drumming and the positive atmosphere of Ill Nino's shows, contrasting it with his previous experiences in hardcore music.Dave recounted the careful selection process for a new singer, emphasizing the importance of quality over haste. He announced plans for re-recording old material and working on a new album, alongside a covers album, with a busy schedule confirmed through October 2027. The band is eager to debut their new song Born to Suffer during the tour and encouraged fans to actively participate in their performances. The conversation concluded with a shout-out to Australian fans, showcasing the band's enthusiasm for their upcoming shows and the music scene in Australia.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

For the past four years, Adelaide blackened death groove outfit Sons Of Erebus have noisily gone about their business, smoothing off the edges of a rough exterior to uncover the gemstone beneath.Despite the inevitable teething problems faced by most bands, Sons Of Erebus have racked up the miles, playing a string of festivals across Victoria, Queensland and New South Wales while fine-tuning their material and road testing it on the people who matter most.The fans.Now, with a settled line up comprising guitarist Ethan (Asmodeus/ex-Thorngate) bassist Bedlam, eccentric frontman Paulie (PAUL13/A Murder of Crows/ex-Age of Horror), lead guitarist Rus (ex-Scapegoat/ex-Horrific Penetration/ex-Age of Horror) and young drummer and local legend Kyle (Broken Loose), Sons Of Erebus are ready to pounce, unleashing their debut 4 track EP Drenched In Plague last week to an overwhelmingly positive response that has so far justified the extra hours put in before committing anything to disk.Frontman Paulie sat down with HEAVY recently to discuss Drenched In Plague and everything around it."Yeah, pretty good so far," he smiled when we asked what the reaction has been so far to the EP. "We've had good feedback and a lot of good compliments. A lot of messages that are all positive so far (laughs). And the songs are familiar with the fans because we've been playing them for a while and trying to bust out finishing the CD. So yeah, it's had a good reception."We ask Paulie to dive deeper into the musical side of Drenched In Plague."It started off as more of a black metal thing," he measured, "and then it's evolved with me dipping my style into it. I come from a bit more of a groove background, and we've tried to make that kind of sound - that bit darker sound - a bit more accessible by taking some of the intensity out of it."In the full interview, we discussed Drenched In Plague in greater detail, running through each of the four tracks one at a time with Paulie explaining how the songs came together and what they are about.We talked about the pressures of a debut release and the length of time it has taken for Sons Of Erebus to release their first recorded material. Talk turned to their live show and upcoming support with international thrash metal outfit Vektor plus advanced plans on new material, including what it will sound like and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Angela CroudaceWith more than two decades of epic storytelling through metal, Sabaton are preparing to unleash their 11th studio album, Legends. Frontman Joakim Brodén spoke with us about the excitement of recording, the historical depths behind the songs, and what fans in Australia and New Zealand can expect when the band finally headlines shows there.Despite years in the studio, Brodén insists the process never loses its spark. “There's always something exciting – the drummer trying something new, a solo that takes shape in the moment. Even after writing, hearing it all come together is magical.” He admits experience brings both clarity and fewer surprises: “Eighty-five percent of the song is already in my head before recording begins.”Legends marks the first time every band member contributed to songwriting, though Brodén says it felt natural. “I've worked with them all before, just never at the same time. It wasn't a big change, but it was great to share the load.” The album explores figures like Joan of Arc, Napoleon, Julius Caesar, and Musashi, but for Brodén, the most eye-opening were stories from ancient Egypt and China's Three Kingdoms era. “It's like being a kid in a candy store – discovering new things all the time.”Sabaton's passion for accuracy extends to their YouTube series, Sabaton History. Brodén laughs at how professional historians still teach him something new every episode: “No matter how deep I dig, they always uncover more.”As for live shows, fans can expect both new material and classics rarely performed in Australia. “We've never headlined properly down there, so we want to give a mix – some songs from Legends, but also older tracks fans haven't heard live.”Brodén admits to the pressure of comparisons, with each release judged against decades of fan favourites. Still, the band thrives on discovery and evolution. “If someone comes in excited for a new Sabaton album and walks away disappointed, that's our biggest fear. But I'm confident this one delivers."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. TICKETING DETAILS https://swdpresents.comPIG DESTROYER with guests WORMROT performing at:Sept 2nd – Perth, Amplifier Bar w/ Bile Cannon, Allocer*Sept 4th – Adelaide, Lion Arts Factory w/ Meth LeppardSept 5th – Melbourne, Max Watts w/ Tongue ScumSept 6th – Sydney, The Factory Theatre w/ Crown Street MilitiaSept 7th – Canberra, The Baso w/ Blight WormsSept 9th – Brisbane, The Triffid w/ Awful NoiseSept 10th – Townsville, The Warehouse w/ Varrim*Sept 12th – Auckland, Galatos w/ Imperial Slave, Sawnoff*Sept 13th – Christchurch, Loons w/ Vixen Execution, Unyielding Desolation*Sept 14th – Wellington, San Fran w/ Glassblower, Post Natal Abortion**Wormrot not appearing in Perth, Townsville or NZBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Angela CroudaceThree decades into their career, Paradise Lost remain masters of gothic metal's melancholic grandeur. With their new album Ascension, guitarist Gregor Mackintosh took on the dual role of musician and producer—a responsibility he says wasn't a giant leap, given his growing involvement in shaping the band's sound over recent albums.“In the past, producers used to be heavily involved in songwriting and structure,” Gregor explained. “Now it's more about getting the sound in your head onto the record.” While self-producing offered him complete creative control, it also brought the risk of over-polishing, a trap he deliberately avoided. “Metal's become so sanitised, chasing perfection until all the character is gone. I wanted Ascension to have flaws that give it life.”Inspiration for Ascension struck after a period of creative standstill, triggered, unexpectedly, by the band's re-recording of their 1993 album Icon. “It put me in a different headspace,” Gregor says. The record's visual identity came together just as organically, centred on George Frederick Watts' Victorian painting The Court of Death, whose calm central figure surrounded by grief perfectly mirrored the album's themes.For Gregor, Paradise Lost's longevity comes from refusing to chase trends. “We've always done our own thing, not been part of any scene,” he says. “If it resonates, great—if not, so be it.” That independence extends to songwriting, where fan expectations take a back seat to authenticity.And while misery remains at the heart of Paradise Lost's music, Gregor sees its appeal as intensely uplifting. “Dark music is evocative; it makes you feel something. It's not about being miserable, it's about connection.”Australian fans may get to experience Ascension live in early 2026, with tour plans currently in discussion. “Fingers crossed,” Gregor says. “We'd love to be back.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Kris PetersAfter championing the cause for Australian music for almost a decade via their weekly radio show, Rock Hard With Phil & Tish, the two co-hosts have decided to take the next step in their evolution, putting on the first-ever Rock Hard Festival in Adelaide.For two nights over October 10 and 11, Woodshed at Royal Park will host Aussie rock legends The Poor, headlining both nights with a selection of some of this country's hottest emerging bands such as Audio Reign, Karly Jewell, The Dreadful Tides, Ablaze, Avalanche and more.Not content to help grow and nurture homegrown talent over just the airwaves, Phil & Tish have decided to give the band a bigger platform from which to show their wares in the first of what is hoped to be a long-running annual concert event.HEAVY recently sat down with Phil & Tish, who were understandably a bit nervous with their roles as radio hosts/interviewers reversed."We have a radio show on PBA FM every Wednesday night," Phil explained, setting the mood. "It's been going for about seven, eight years and is called Rock Hard with Phil and Tish, and we try to rock.""Yeah, PBA FM every Wednesday night," Tish reiterated. "We are 9pm Australian Central Standard Time, and we are your local insane metalheads. We're very much a variety show of heavy and hard rock."We bring up the excellent line-up and ask what their selection process was when deciding who to book."We picked all bands we have relationships with over the journey," Phil measured. "We're fans of… I mean, The Poor… I was 14 when I got into them, and Skenie (vocalist) was the first interview I did where I actually reached out to someone that I grew up enjoying their music, and I thought I'll shoot him a message. I thought, I'm gonna fire a shot and see what he says, and a couple of weeks later he came back, and he said I'd love to have a chat, and I chatted to him for about an hour on the show. Because I'm such a fan - and when you're 14, they're like larger-than-life rock stars - and to think he's having a chat on our show probably opened up the courage for me to approach other bands and stuff that we've loved. Literally every band that we've got on this festival are just great Aussie bands, and we're so stoked that they've agreed to play."In the full interview, Phil and Tish shared insights into their planning for Rock Hard Festival, emphasizing their commitment to showcasing Australian talent and the challenges they faced in curating a lineup that reflects their personal relationships with the artists. They expressed excitement about the festival's potential, particularly with the inclusion of local bands and the overwhelming interest from musicians wanting to participate, as well as the scheduling of two nights of live entertainment and the reasonable ticket prices.They highlighted the festival's unique offerings, such as a special beer crafted by Beer No Evil and the decision to have The Poor headline both nights. We discussed the significance of including acts like Audio Reign, who were the first band interviewed in their studio, as well as their radio show Rock Hard and how and why they got into a radio career based in music, plus more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

emocleW, emocleW, emocleW to the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip!This is your bonus FRIDAY REWIND episode! Today, we catch up with Goldie, originally episode 156 from 2017-06-21.Original writeup below:A proper filfy drum n' bass banger right here this week too as Pip is joined FINALLY after a long bout of scheduling and planning by the one and only, the Metalhead himself, the UK's national drum & bass treasure - Goldie! "The barbarians from within will raise their heads and rise the deities..." ...and that's one single quote from this absolutely ram packed and intense juggernaught rollercoaster of an episode, as Pip white-knuckles the railing and hold on for dear life as the whirlwind rolls through town and demolishes all in its path! The whirlwind being Goldie, that is. I'm sure you gathered that. Finding his home out in Phuket these days, the path has been rocky, full on, winding and incredible and Goldie has lived through it all - the raves, the graf days out in the Bronx, early days of techno, being a household name in what they used to call 'intelligent drum & bass' with his smash hit 'Inner City Life', a rugged divorce, heavy personal life events including the passing of his mother, and every single second underpinned by his unending appetite for his craft and music making. A fantastic and thrilling ride of an episode, which will make you want to dig out the back catalogue and reminisce over the past while waiting for his new album 'The Journey Man' to download... As Goldie put it himself; "There are no full stops in my life... At all..." Oh and wait for the American and German accents later on.

Metal mayhem and festival tales dominate as we break down the Sonic Temple experience from start to finish. After four years of podcasting (an eternity in the podcast world!), we're celebrating episode 172 with a deep dive into what makes a great metal festival.Sonic Temple emerges as the clear winner when compared to Inkcarceration, offering flat ground instead of treacherous hills, better spacing between stages, and perfect timing weather-wise. The lineup delivered serious firepower with Ice Nine Kills crushing their set, Bullet For My Valentine sounding album-perfect, and Whitechapel demonstrating why they're considered death metal royalty. Even unexpected acts like ICP drew massive crowds, though some veterans like Rob Zombie showed their age with winded performances and partial lyrics.Beyond festival talk, we explore Cedar Point's surprising new comedy shows and take a musical journey through bands you might not know yet but absolutely should. From Russian mathcore outfit Ape on the Rocket to Italian metalcore group Burning Hayes, we unearth hidden gems that deserve spots on your playlist. Each discovery fuels our appreciation for the endless creativity in the metal scene.After 172 episodes, we're still passionate about sharing the music and movies we love. Whether you're here for the bands, the banter, or the bizarre tangents, we appreciate you joining our metal-fueled conversations.

In episode 214 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas is joined by Philosophy Professor and fellow metalhead Krista Thomason. Dr. Thomason is a Professor of Philosophy at Swarthmore College, and she wrote the book, 'Dancing With The Devil; Why Bad Feelings Make Life Good'The book argues that negative emotions aren't something to avoid but rather embrace. This advice goes against conventional wisdom, so I was excited to ask her questions about her thesis. This is quite contrary to more Stoic philosophies! Of course, we also chatted about metal!Get the book!

As a child growing up in Madison WI, Nora Feldman filled her days creatively, filming short movies and TV commercials, writing and performing songs, choreographing dance routines, painting, drawing, and even designing brochures for imaginary businesses. She scrapbooked, wood-burned, rock-tumbled, sewed, and even took up knitting… But above all else, Nora loved making jewelry.  Surprisingly though, Nora chose a different career path in college worried that she wouldn't be able to support herself as a jewelry artist. During our conversation Nora shares how she rather unexpectedly birthed, Metalhead Jewelry when she found herself without a job due to the Covid shut downs. Going all in and dedicating herself to her craft, she quickly built a strong following. Nora talks about about finding her unique voice, authenticity and social media, the importance of novelty in her designs, and the struggles she faces with being a creative entrepreneur.  Follow Nora...
