Send us a textSt. Louis-based metalcore act dead7 is poised to break through in a major way with the release of their highly anticipated debut album, LOVE WHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO LOVE, arriving July 11, 2025 via SharpTone Records. Known for their emotionally charged blend of heavy grooves, ambient textures, and bold vulnerability, the five-piece continues to turn heads with a sound that fuses brutal honesty and melodic hooks in equal measure.Composed of Jason Kozik (vocals), Dexter Greer (guitar), Tim Quinn (guitar), Stephen Salyer (bass), and Zach Guinn (drums), dead7 crafts music that leans into both atmospheric metal and alternative rock, while unafraid to explore the depths of love, loss, and internal conflict. Their debut album captures that duality perfectly—one moment it's a crushing wall of sound, the next a moment of haunting introspection.“We keep people guessing,” frontman Jason Kozik shared. “The new material is heavy, but we emphasized the hooks. We tried to make sure our songs resonate. In terms of the content, we focused on love, relationships, and things that are often tough to say.”After gaining traction through powerful singles like “tape mouth” and “heaven only knows” (featuring Nathan Johnson of Fox Lake), dead7 began to find their footing on the live circuit, including festival slots at POINTFEST alongside acts like Bad Omens, The Pretty Reckless, and Coheed and Cambria. The momentum caught the attention of SharpTone Records, who signed the band in late 2024.Heading back into the studio with trusted collaborators Caleb Freihaut and Ben McGuiness, dead7 shaped a record that reflects not only their evolution as a band but their refusal to be boxed in. Touchstones like Loathe, Bring Me The Horizon, and Three Days Grace inspire the record's push-and-pull between chaotic energy and accessible melody.Tracks like “BLUR” showcase that duality immediately, with its vocoder-drenched verses giving way to explosive choruses. “It incorporates a lot of what dead7 is,” Kozik explained. “Lyrically, it's a view of trying to navigate life with everything going on... in our relationships, in our families, and in ourselves. It feels like a blur, and you're trying to survive.”Other album standouts include “HOLE,” a raw depiction of tension in a fractured relationship, and “PLEASE,” a cheeky-yet-intense track featuring Marcus Vik, where soaring melodies meet lusty lyricism and thunderous riffs. Kozik remarked, “We were making a joke about being kind of horny, and we tried to encapsulate it… It has 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.

Interview by Kris PetersSydney metal outfit Harroway have been crushing skulls since 2019 withtheir aggressive brand of metal, highlighting real life problems and issues. As such their passion has always been evident be it on stage orrecording, with their debut 2023 EP, I Don't Want To Be Here Anymore resonating on a global scale that led to a sold-out headlining tour that took the band across Australia before deservedly securing them supports for international acts such as We Came as Romans (USA), Invent Animate (USA), and Crossfaith (JAP).The band have been absent from the air waves since last April's song Heresy but have returned with a vengeance on the back of their new single Narsociety. While still maintaining the fabric of their metal DNA, Narsociety also sees Harroway exploring more melodic elements entwined with clean vocals that have not previously been a major component of their music.An amalgamation of the words Narcissist and Society, Narsociety paints an honestly bleak portrait of the modern reliance and dependence on social media and the darkness that easily consumes it. It is a brutally honest portrayal of what is becoming an increasingly dangerous subject, delivered with the raw hostility that has become Harroway's trademark.HEAVY spoke with guitarist Anthony earlier this week to see how the response has been."It's been a bit of a different sound for us with having the new singer come in with a little bit of a higher register," he offered. "It's a little bit more melodic for us as well, but so far it's been really good. We've got some really good feedback from fans, friends, and family, and it seems to be going off at the shows too. People are really enjoying Chris's voice."The Chris who Anthony is referring to is new clean vocalist Chris 'CJ' Webb. Having that lighter shade to the band's generally more aggressive music could be considered a brave move by the band, but Anthony insists it is something that has been added for the betterment of Harroway's music."It's definitely something we've wanted to introduce into our sound, both live and in the studio, before," he shared. "But it's been something we've struggled with to really execute on because, you know, Matt (Banks, vocalist) is excellent at what he does. He has an excellent vocal range and also his extreme vocals. As a guitarist and backup screamer, I can really appreciate the talent he has, but he really looked within himself and knew we needed somebody to bring us into that higher register."In the full interview, Anthony discussed Narsociety in greater detail from both a musical and lyrical perspective. He ran us through the underlying themes and messages of the song and how it is a reflection on today's society and behaviour.We discussed the captivating and cinematic music video that goes with it, the recent tour with Make Them Suffer and Justice For The Damned, playing Narsociety live for the first few times and how it was received and spoke about a couple of shows on the horizon. While remaining non-committal about a future album, Anthony gave a strong impression that Narsociety is only the beginning of their plans, revealing there are more singles to be released and promising the band still has big plans for this year.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Justine Jones Employed To Serve Interview: Justine sits down with Scott Penfold on the latest Loaded Radio Podcast to dive deep into the band's latest album Fallen Star, collaborating with Will Ramos of Lorna Shore, drawing inspiration from Scandinavian melodic death metal, and how she balances fronting a crushing metalcore band while running Church Road Records. Justine Jones opens up about the emotional and creative journey behind Fallen Star With their highly anticipated fifth studio album Fallen Star arriving back on April 25, 2025, Employed To Serve are ushering in a new era of modern metalcore—one that fuses melody, rage, and raw vulnerability in equal measure. Frontwoman Justine Jones joins Scott Penfold on this week's Loaded Radio Podcast to pull back the curtain on the emotional core of the new record and what fans can expect from this bold new chapter. In the conversation, Justine breaks down the band's stylistic evolution, citing influences like In Flames and Soilwork as guiding lights behind the album's more melodic and expansive sound. “We wanted to create something that felt bigger, more cinematic,” she says. “There's still heaviness—but it's in service of the emotion, not just brutality for brutality's sake.” 'Atonement' with Will Ramos brings fury and fun to the spotlight The podcast also digs into the band's lead single "Atonement", which features none other than Will Ramos of Lorna Shore on guest vocals. The track rips with intensity, and its Office-inspired music video has been making waves for its tongue-in-cheek take on workplace chaos. According to Justine, the idea for the video came from wanting to show a different side of the band. Recording one song at a time, and what it taught Justine about herself In a new approach for Fallen Star, Justine recorded her vocals one track at a time instead of tackling them all at once. The result? A more focused and emotionally connected performance across the board. “It helped me put everything I had into each individual song,” she explains. “That kind of care really brought the record to life.” Running Church Road Records while fronting one of the UK's heaviest bands Aside from her vocal duties, Justine also co-runs the fiercely independent Church Road Records with guitarist Sammy Urwin. The label has become a hub for some of the most exciting rising acts in heavy music. On the podcast, she talks about how that role complements her work in Employed To Serve and why keeping things DIY still matters in today's oversaturated industry. Touring, the future of the band, and staying grounded through chaos With a new UK headline tour on the horizon and buzz building around Fallen Star, Employed To Serve seem poised to take their place among the elite modern metal acts pushing the genre forward. But Justine remains refreshingly grounded: “We're always just trying to make the best music we can—if it connects with people, that's the real reward.” Bio Employed To Serve is a British metalcore band formed in 2011 in Woking, England, by vocalist Justine Jones and guitarist Sammy Urwin. Initially emerging from the underground scene with a raw, grindcore-influenced sound, the band has evolved to incorporate elements of hardcore punk, mathcore, and death metal. Their discography includes five studio albums: Greyer Than You Remember (2015), The Warmth of a Dying Sun (2017), Eternal Forward Motion (2019), Conquering (2021), and Fallen Star (2025). Known for their intense live performances and thought-provoking lyrics, Employed To Serve has been praised for crushing the modern metalcore scene while maintaining a DIY ethos.
