It's not every day that a band or musician puts out their debut album and it already features 3 top ten rock singles. Well that is the case with the band Autumn Kings. Their full-length debut is called Epiphanies and it's 2 years in the making. Now we finally get the full Autumn Kings experience that many fans despertly wanted. It's been an historic year for the band and Jake Diab is back on the Rockcast to go through it all. 

Metal ist tot. Schon wieder. Oder vielleicht war er einfach nie lebendiger.Im dritten Teil unserer Metal-Reihe versuchen wir deshalb gar nicht erst, die vergangenen 25 Jahre brav in Subgenres zu sortieren. Gemeinsam mit Gitarrist und Produzent Axel Ritt sowie Marcus Görner vom Metal Marcus Metal Podcast geraten Markus und Lars stattdessen mitten hinein in die große Identitätskrise des modernen Metal:Was bedeutet eigentlich „authentisch“ – ehrlich zu sein oder lediglich genau so zu klingen, wie andere es bereits kennen?Von Manowars grauenhaftem True-Metal-Pathos über Ghost, Sleep Token und Electric Callboy bis zu Black Metal mit Banjo geht es um die Frage, wer heute noch festlegen darf, was Metal ist. Reicht das richtige Riff? Braucht es eine Szene, eine Kutte oder wenigstens eine glaubwürdige Fellunterhose? Und warum akzeptieren wir Masken, Kunstfiguren und aufwendige Bühnenshows – regen uns aber über Backingtracks auf?Wir sprechen über Wacken als gigantisches Treffen zahlreicher Szenen, über Genrepolizei und Generationenkonflikte, über Retro-Rock zwischen liebevoller Traditionspflege und nahezu perfekter Kopie. Wann ist ein musikalisches Vorbild eine Inspiration – und wann lebt eine Band nur noch als gut gekleideter Parasit auf dem Rücken der Vergangenheit?Axel nimmt uns außerdem mit hinter die Studiotür: in eine Welt aus DAWs, Drum-Samples, Amp-Simulationen und Presets, in der technisch perfekte Produktionen paradoxerweise immer ähnlicher klingen können. Wenn Tausende Gitarristen dasselbe Plugin und dieselbe Signalkette verwenden, wie viel Persönlichkeit bleibt dann noch im Ton? Und wäre ein nicht ganz perfekter, aber unverwechselbarer Sound möglicherweise das modernere Statement?Schließlich landen wir bei künstlicher Intelligenz und einem Gedankenexperiment: Wenn eine Maschine morgen einen vollkommen überzeugenden neuen Neil-Young-Song erschafft – berührt uns dann die Musik oder fühlen wir uns lediglich besonders kunstvoll belogen?Eine Folge über Originale und Kopien, echte Gefühle und kalkulierte Wirkung, schwarze Löcher der Euphorie und die beruhigende Erkenntnis, dass Metal offenbar sogar seine eigenen Todesanzeigen überlebt.Und Lars fällt am Ende ein abschließendes Urteil:Electric Callboy ist kein Metal.

There is nothing quite like the raw, unfiltered power of a band that breathes their entire soul into the music. It's that exact, devastatingly beautiful energy that rising Texan metalcore heavyweights I Promised The World are bringing Down Under this month. For the very first time, the five-piece is packing their bags and hitting our shores for a massive nationwide tour alongside August Burns Red.If you haven't been paying attention to what these guys have been doing over the last year, quite frankly, where the hell have you been? After signing a massive global deal with Rise Records, the band dropped their phenomenal self-titled EP at the start of the year. It completely set the heavy music scene on fire, bursting at the seams with massive, early-2000s metalcore and screamo vibes that hit you straight in the chest. Tracks like Bliss in 7 Languages and A Pure Expression aren't just heavy—they are deeply emotional, riding a wave of raw catharsis born from pure tragedy.Born out of frontman and guitarist Caleb Molina's profound personal grief after the tragic loss of his father to COVID-19 in 2020, this band is the living definition of triumph in the face of adversity. They've already conquered massive festival stages across Europe and the US this year, absolutely crushing sets at Hellfest, Outbreak, and FYA Fest. Now, they are locked, loaded, and ready to unleash that live intensity on Australian crowds from Brisbane down to Melbourne.HEAVY caught up with the man himself, Caleb Molina, to chat all about the upcoming tour, how the band channels such heavy emotion into their live performance, what it's like sharing the stage with a powerhouse like August Burns Red, why Aussie fans need to get to the venue early to witness the sheer chaos of their debut sets and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Backstage during their recent tour of Australia, Sam and Max sat down with Lucas Woodland, lead singer of Holding Absence. They cover how the new album came together by throwing out everything they knew about making an album, which song was meant to score a cheeky Loathe cameo, and why they went full anime for this release.Connect with Holding Absence on Instagram and TikTok, and listen to the latest singles from their upcoming album "Modern Life is Lonely" on Spotify and Apple Music.Discover more new music and hear your favourite artists with 78 Amped on Instagram and TikTok.Watch episodes on our YouTube channel and don't forget to like and subscribe.

Interview by Angela CroudaceAustralia, strap yourselves in. If you thought Sydney's heavy hitters Polaris were done pushing the boundaries of the global metalcore landscape, you are dead wrong. These guys don't just walk up to the line; they systematically tear it down and rebuild it with more grit, more venom, and more raw emotion than almost any other band on the planet today. They have consistently proven themselves to be the undisputed kings of the modern Aussie heavy music scene, but what they have cooked up next is bound to catch a few people completely off guard.Today, we are diving deep into the black heart of their brand-new sonic weapon, Without You, as HEAVY sits down with vocalist Jamie Hails and bass player/clean vocalist Jake Steinhauser.We all know that Polaris are no strangers to delivering absolute auditory violence, but Without You feels entirely different. It is a massive, towering beast of a track that balances their signature, bone-shattering breakdowns with a haunting, melodic vulnerability that will leave you absolutely breathless. It's heavy, it's beautiful, and it bites hard. The track showcases a band that is not afraid to evolve, trading none of their ferocious power while tapping into a deeper, more mature level of songwriting that proves exactly why they are dominating stages worldwide. This isn't just another song to add to the mosh pit playlist—this is a defining statement.We sat down for a massive chat with the boys to get the absolute inside word on how this monster of a track came to life. We talk about the grueling creative process behind the music, the lyrical weight that carries the song's emotional core, and how they managed to capture such a massive sound in the studio. We also look ahead to what this means for the future of Polaris, their upcoming touring plans including Good Things Festival, how they keep pushing themselves to the absolute limit without ever losing their identity and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

The BreakdownSeratonin is building a metal band the old-school way - from the ground up, with zero compromise, a DIY merch operation, and shows that most bands would never even think to book. If you want to know what it looks like when a new heavy act leans all the way into community, chaos, and raw energy, this one is for you.Ryan sits down with Joe and Randall of Seratonin, the Central Texas band pushing unapologetic, high-octane music that pulls from nu-metal, hardcore, thrash, and the kind of live-wire energy that turns a room into a sweatbox. They break down how the band formed, how the lineup came together with Eric on bass and Jeremiah on drums, and why they're more interested in getting people moving than fitting neatly into a genre box.You'll discover:Why the band name Seratonin is more than just a clever word choice - it's a statement about modern brain rot, short-term dopamine hits, and getting people back into real-life experiencesHow the group is releasing a four-track EP at the end of August instead of chasing endless single dropsWhat working with producer Brett Wassom brings to the record and why they're aiming for a sound that's neither overproduced nor garage-demo rawHow they landed a wild EP release event at Cowboy Harley Davidson in South Austin and why they want to tap into biker, car meet, and drift communitiesWhy playing with legacy act Unloco is a major validation moment for a band still introducing itself to the sceneJoe shares his path from Hawaii to Central Texas and how a long love of heavier music shaped his vocals, while Randall traces a globe-trotting life through Louisiana, New York, LA, Asia, Sri Lanka, and back to the South before landing in the band he always wanted to play in. Together, they open up about the strange power of starting out as a mystery band and proving themselves through energy, not hype.This episode is for anyone who loves underground music, DIY culture, and the thrill of finding a band before everyone else does. Seratonin is betting on live shows, real connections, and word-of-mouth buzz over algorithm games - and they might be exactly the band you'll want to say you discovered first.Episode InfoBand IG: / seratonin.band  Band Website: https://seratonintx.bandcamp.com/merchATXMP Website: atxmp.transistor.fm/Subscribe to ATX Metal Podcast on YouTube: / @atxmetalpodcastSponsors / AffiliatesCome and Take It Productions: www.comeandtakeitproductions.comCome and Take It Live: www.comeandtakeitlive.com/No Control Radio: www.klbjfm.com/show/no-control/

The BreakdownINRVRY turns a Dayseeker concert into a life-changing moment - and their story is only getting started. If you love music with heart, this one gives you the origin story, the family ties, and the hope behind one of San Antonio's most interesting rising bands.Mando Vargas opens up about building INRVRY with his wife Celeste, their close-friends-turned-bandmates Leo and Chris, and how a song that started as a voice memo became the spark for a full album. From the first track, Intuition, to Grace, Notions, and the new visual for Iridescent, the band shares how they keep the focus where it belongs: serving the song.You'll hear how Dayseeker, Nothing But Thieves, Paramore, and Nothing More shaped their sound, why their music lands somewhere between metalcore, alt-rock, and worshipful honesty, and how a surprise proposal during Homesick became one of those stories you never forget.

Send us Fan MailTexas home-town heroes Colorblind have been building toward this moment since 2017, and we got to talk with Travis Moseley about finally bringing "Who Sold You This Truth ++ Was It Yours To Hold" to life. We got into the evolution of the band's “dreamcore” sound, the years of work behind the debut, and how songs like “Pressure” and “Chemical Warfare” reflect the weight of identity, expectations, and everything that comes with growing as an artist.We also talked about taking these songs from the studio to the stage, the move to Solid State Records, and finding the balance between heavy, atmospheric, and melodic elements that makes Colorblind stand apart. After years of building this independently and sharing stages with some major names in heavy music, it's finally time for the full story to be heard.Stay connected with Colorblind, visit: https://colorblindtx.com, https://www.instagram.com/colorblindtx/ and https://www.facebook.com/Colorblindtx/Stay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/

It's not often you get to speak to a real power (not power metal) couple in metal, and I'm lucky I got to speak to one of the nicest couples in the game, with Justine Jones and Sammy Urwin of UK metalcore favorites Employed to Serve and creators and owners of the legendary label Church Road Records appearing on this episode of Psychic Warfare! Employed to Serve often write about life's progression; moving forward and living in the present by doing, acting, and daring to push yourself to your goals and dreams. We speak about them taking the time to really sit with that spirituality, as well as how they've come to understand and internalize what love is to them after nearly two decades together as a couple. We (mostly I) also gush about our love of Buffy the Vampire Slayer to each other, and so much more! So come on in and enjoy a wonderful conversation with two of the nicest people in metal, and for the love of God please watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Please.

"Apparently he left the house after I went to bed so I couldn't stop him and bring him back inside."On the afternoon of 16 October 2018, Elizabeth Herbert called the Connecticut State Police and reported her husband, 44-year-old Oli, missing. Officers responded to the property on Hydeville Pond in Stafford Springs, where they searched the grounds. Eventually, they found the body of Elizabeth's husband at the edge of the pond, laying face down in just a few inches of water.In the weeks and months to come, a bizarre story would begin to play out in the press. You see, Oli was the lead guitarist in a very successful metal band (All That Remains) and his death happened under extremely suspicious circumstances. It turns out that he had amended his will just days before his death, and had been reportedly self-medicating his undiagnosed manic depression at the time he'd died...If you have any information about this story that you'd like to share, please reach through the following methods:Connecticut State Police, Troop C: (860) 685-8230Learn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meCheck out the podcast store at unresolved.dashery.comIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved-a-true-crime-mystery-podcast--3266604/support.
