This week, we're tapping into the vault for an old episode from the late, great Metal Matters podcast. Some of you were around for that era of Gimme Metal and the very cool things we did. This was episode 4, featuring the legendary Dan Lilker, a man who needs no introduction. Danny has been a key member in some of the most iconic bands in metal: Anthrax, Nuclear Assault, Brutal Truth, Hemlock…the list goes on. I caught up with Danny in Rochester, NY when Tombs came through town on tour. My voice was a little shot, so apologies for that. Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Vision” – Brutal Truth
We have a One from the Vault this week. We're going back to 2019; back then, I was hosting Metal Matters, the official Gimme Metal podcast. Cradle of Filth was gearing up to hit the road and Dani Filth was making his rounds doing press so I was able to have this sick chat with him. Dani was one of my favorite guests from that era. Intro: “All the dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “Funeral in Carpathia” – Cradle of Filth
This week, Randy Larsen returns to the podcast! Randy is the founding member of Cable, put in time as a touring bassist for Tombs and have been a co-host of mine on Metal Matters as well as here at EWB. He has taken some time off from podcasting to put some time and effort into his new venture as co-owner of Little Lost Records, a new eclectic record store based in Stofford Springs, CT. Our friendship has spanned decades, so conversion flows freely! Intro: “All the Dark Things” – Mike Hill Outro: “The Friends of Rock ‘n' Roll” – Easy Action

As a postscript to this latest Steelcast mini-series about decarbonisation from UK Metals Expo, Tata Steel's host, Tim Rutter, popped next door to the Recycling and Waste Management exhibition, where Tata Steel also had a stand being manned by our very own Packaging Recycling team from Trostre in West Wales. In this episode, Tim caught up with Manager Steel Packaging Recycling Nicola Jones as well as industry colleague Julie Meeks from Metal Matters, who told us how consumers and local authorities can make their own contributions to the environment and climate change.

My old friend J Bennet join us again this week. J has been on both Metal Matters and EWB numerous times over the years; most likely you know J from his music journalism and his band Ides of Gemini. We go back a long way. One of the things we've bonded over is our love of old school heavy metal and hard rock, so I used this as an excuse to talk on the phone and put together a playlist of jams that we dig. Some of the bands you've definitely heard, but, true to EWB fashion, we've tried to through in some relatively obscure stuff. Intro: “All Roads Lead to Ruin” – composed and recorded by Mike Hill Outro: “Midnight in Tokyo” – Y&T

Today on Metal Matters we are joined by Kowloon Walled City frontman and studio engineer extraordinaire, Scott Evans. Since their inception in 2007, Kowloon Walled City have continually redefined what it means to be a "metal" band. They have expertly harnessed a sound and aesthetic that is equally at home among doom, post metal, and noise rock circles, while not succumbing to a stylistic allegiance to any one genre. The long awaited follow up to 2015's now legendary Grievances will finally see the light of day on October 8th via Neurot Recordings and Gilead Media. We were fortunate to recently have an in-depth conversation with Scott about the advantages and perils of recording your own band, his personal experiences in overcoming the psychic blocks that sometimes prevent one from playing music, and everything in between.This episode is dedicated to Tony Jacome of Shallow North Dakota who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer on October 2nd. He will live on eternally through his music and the joy he brought through those songs and performances. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Back when I hosted Metal Matters, I featured a series of episodes on Goden on their masterpiece, 2019's Beyond Darkness. It was one of my top 5 records that year. I'd like to welcome back Stephen Flam, the mastermind behind Goden. For the record Steph was also in the legendary Winter and later Thorn. This is an epic so strap in and enjoy! Intro: “All Roads Lead to Ruin” – written and composed by Mike Hill Outro: “Twilight” - Goden

Ralph and I have been talking about doing an episode dedicated to Fields of the Nephilim. I believe the discussions started back when I was hosting Metal Matters, but the 60 minute format would prove to be too restrictive for a band that has such significance to us. It's not so much a note-by-note accounting of the band's career, but more in line with two fans discussing their experiences with the band's music and the impact they have made on our own creative endeavors. Intro: "Unholy Passion Theme" - composed and recorded by Mike Hill Outro: "Love Under Will" - Fields of the Nephilim
In this 7 min Metal Matters podcast, we discuss 1) why strong free cash flow hasn't yielded many new project approvals, 2) China's steel production cuts and capacity offshoring, and 3) why the countdown to the COP26 Summit will keep the focus on metals involved with the global energy transition over the next three months.

Today we are joined by friend of the show and one of our favorite human beings, Max Bowman of death doom titans Mortiferum and death-grinders Caustic Wound. Max is one of those rare individuals whose approach to extreme music is all but fully subverted by his warmth. As the frontman/guitarist of Mortiferum, he has released their much lauded demo, an LP and a split with the vicious Hyperdontia (available on Carbonized Records... don't miss our interview!). And though Caustuc Wound is relatively less active, their Death Posture LP was one of the most lauded of 2020. Oddly enough, we here at Metal Matters befriended Max while he was playing guitar with the Tony Molina Band, a pop band whose extreme metal pedigree rivals many of the deepest heads in the world. We caught up with Max to talk about his roots, what it was like to make a record during the pandemic, and to rip on Molina a bunch. Stay right here!

So nice we had to do it twice… well, not really but you get the idea. This week on Metal Matters, we bring you the second installment of our conversation with Dylan Walker of Full Of Hell. We touched on a lot of shit on last week's episode and today's is no exception. We get into the nitty gritty about the lifestyle of underground artists, the impact of music criticism, and the scariest things they've ever seen at shows. So kick back, settle in, and enjoy the wild ride that is Dylan Walker: Part 2 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
This week's episode of Metal Matters features special guest Lee Buford. Lee has an exceedingly deep resume as a musician and visual artist, but he's probably best known as one half of heavy avant garde heroes The Body. Through constant experimentation and a willingness to explore their natural sonic curiosities, The Body has spent over two decades continually redefining themselves while shattering conventional metal paradigms wherever they tread. We spent several hours speaking with Lee about The Body's new record, the origins of the band, and his experiences growing up as a punk in the south. This one is a total trip.

Welcome to a new regular show on Everything Went Black. If you've been listening to Everything Went Black for a while or Metal Matters at Gimme Metal, you will recognize my "brother from another mother" Ralph Schmidt from the fine bands Ultha and Ropes of Night. Check out our flagship episode.
My good friend Jackie Smit returns. He is the host and producer of Into the Necrosphere, my favorite extreme music podcast. He may also be familiar to you from his appearances on this podcast as well as Metal Matters. We pay tribute to the legendary LG Petrov of Entombed, talk about Jackie's bout with Covid-19 and go off on the usual tangents. Intro: "Demon" - Entombed Outro: " Carnal Leftovers" - Entombed
On Mike Hill's swansong episode as host, we have a three way discussion with new hosts Fred Pessaro (Journalist for VICE, Revolver, Decibel etc // NYC Music Promoter) and Michael Berdan (Uniform, ex-Drunkdriver, VEINS, etc) about their familiarity with one another, anecdotes about NYC music and the scene, and what the future has in store for METAL MATTERS.Intro: Tombs - "The Great Silence"Outro: Tombs - "The Great Silence" See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
A conversation about how he has been coping with 2020, his 1st brews, the soundtrack of his youth, his 1st shows, "Under Sullen Skies", releasing a record during a Pandemic, Podcasting, touring with Andy Thomas, a Tombs Craft Beer & his hangover cure. Throughout this interview Mike was drinking spearmint tea. & Matt was drinking Ras L'Bock Artisans Brasseurs' "Georgette". This wild & sour mixed fermentation brewed was aged in Oak casks for 22 months. It was earthy, tart & undeniably delicious. It clocked in with a 6.2% ABV. This week's Vox&Hops Underrated Gem is Casket Robbery. I am super stoked to be able to shine some light on them by playing their track "From Hell" in the intro of this episode.

If you listen to Metal Matters, the podcast I host for Gimme Metal, you probably heard the Classic Records episode I did for Circus of Power's LP "Vices" a few weeks ago. I cut in excerpts from a longer interview with Al Mitchell, the singer and front man of the band to add some color to the narrative of the band. Our talk was so cool that I wanted to present the whole thing to you guys. A few weeks have gone by since the Metal Matters thing, so I figured it's a good time to drop this. Intro: "Save the American Wolf" Outro: "In the Wind"
My good friend Mike Scondotto joins us this week to discuss the classic record “Slow, Deep and Hard” by Brooklyn metal heroes Type O Negative. Mike has been a fixture in the New York hardcore and metal scene for the past few decades and is the singer of The Last Stand and Inhuman. Additionally, Mike and I co-host the horror podcast Necromaniacs available on all streaming platforms (just like Metal Matters).Intro: “Xero Tolerance”Outro: “Unsuccessfully Coping with the Beauty of Infidelity" See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Welcome to the 2020 debut episode of Metal Matters. We’re kicking the year off with author and music journalist Jon Wiederhorn. If you’re read anything about metal or extreme music, it’s likely that you’ve read Jon’s words. His work has appeared in Decibel and Revolver among others. You may also have read his words in his books Louder Than Hell (co-authored with Katherine Turman), biographies on Al Jourgansen, Scott Ian or Roger Miret. We’re on the eve of the release of Jon’s new book, Raising Hell, a collection of war stories and anecdotes by some of the sickest dudes in metal including, but not limited to Phil Anselmo, Ben Falgoust, Randy Blythe, Max Cavalera, Gary Holt, King Fowley…the list goes on.Intro: “Welcome to Hell” – VenomOutro: “Highway to Hell” – AC/DC See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
I figured by now, Nate Garrett and I would have crossed paths, we move in the same circles and know a lot of the same people. Thanks to Jeremy Sosville, past Metal Matters guest and guitarist in Sanhedrin (as well as Black Anvil), we finally connected. Nate is a songwriter and guitarist in Spirit Adrift and Gatecreeper. Additionally, he is an avid martial arts fan. This past year, he has two releases under his belt; Divided By Darkness by Spirit Adrift and Deserted by Gatecreeper.Intro: “Divided by Darkness”Outro: “Hear Her” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Halloween, by far is my favorite time of the year. It has it's own soundtrack that accompanies the darkening skies and is a primer for winter, the mightiest season. My good friend, Ron Martinez, the vocalist of the legendary Final Conflict, bassist in The Lower Class Brats and the man behind Crawlspace Booking joins me for a recollection of our favorite music and movies that capture this beautiful time of year. Oh yeah, this is the "director's cut" of the Metal Matters episode that went up a few days ago. Ron and I went deep. Intro: "Don't Fear the Reaper" - Blue Oyster Cult Outro: "Halloween" - Samhain
2018 is almost over. A lot of great records came out this past year and everyone is busily putting together their Top 10 lists. Here at Metal Matters, we do things a little different. Instead of a Top 10, we are doing a Top 5 because I feel you often times have to reach to fill out the second 5 of a Top 10.Anyway, Randy Larsen and I talk about our Top 5 favorite records. Gimme Radio DJ’s Diane Farris (Lifer), David “Bozz” Bosler (Blizzard of Bozz), John Brookhouse (Shadow Hymnal), Thomas Haywood (Forever Underground) and Chris Krovatin (Bleeder’s Digest) weigh in with their Top 5 favorites as well.Intro: “Giza Butler” – SleepOutro: “Dark Age of Ruin” – Hate Eternal See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Episode 37 is a conversation with Randy Larsen. You may know Randy from his band Cable who have been putting out good quality heavy music since the 90's and are set to release a new record next year as he explains late in this episode. We talk about how he got into music, other musical projects he's been involved in as well as his guest hosting on the Everything Went Black and Metal Matters podcasts. Randy was a great guest for this podcast, his enthusiasm and humble, down to earth personality made this feel like I was talking to an old friend.
It’s another solo episode. My new show Metal Matters is about to drop on iTunes, Stitcher and wherever you listen to podcasts. I talk about the new show and how it will impact Everything Went Black and Necromaniacs. Metal Matters is part of the Gimme Radio music platform and will cover much of the same stuff I cover on Everything Went Black, so I’m going to have to evolve, grow and expand. Let me know your thoughts, I’m all ears! Intro: “Oblivion” – Atriarch Outro: “Come to Daddy” – Aphex Twin

9:50 - I head to the United States and find a country deeply divided, struggling with sexual norms and deep seeded racism. Autumn Storm recently transitioned from male to female at 19 years of age. I felt in a way she represented what America as a whole is going through. She also helped foreshadow the turbulent weather I would soon experience on my journey. 20:42 - No trip to Portland could be complete without a visit to Powell’s Books. At a live author talk Germany-based author Nell Zink comments on the difference between the “old world” and the “new world” and skewers the American treatment of its most vulnerable. 29:28 - I get heavy into the black metal experience, playing a monster-filled boardgame called Munchkin and listening to vinyl of extreme Norwegian music. We use the genre as a jumping off point to discussions about politics, podcasting, wave perspectives — and a different type of sacrifice. “I sacrificed everything I knew and loved to go be an uncle and finish college in Indiana.” 50:04 - I happen upon a Black Lives Matter protest over a new police contract organizers claim would prevent effective oversight of body camera footage and encourage bad officer behaviour. I stand face to face with riot gear-clad police, just feet away from protesters who got pepper-sprayed. Music remixed from a pepper-spray promotional video. 1:25:10 - A stop at a sidestreet coffee shop got me connected to a scenario where I was lucky enough to get an Ableton Live lesson from downtempo producer Jesse Jade (@jesse-atrapasuenos) and hear new music from Hakuu (@hakuu). Big thank you to Keenan Branch for passing along a bunch of high quality tracks, which I used as background music for a number of the segments during the episode. Music from: CloZee (@clozee), Rene LaVice (@renelavice), Washed Out (@Washed_Out), Middle Brother (@middle-brother-official), Thievery Corporation (@thieverycorporation).
