Interview by Kris PetersIf you like your heavy music served with a side of absolute, unadulterated chaos, then grab a cold beer and brace yourself, because Swiss deathcore juggernauts Paleface Swiss are heading back Down Under. After completely decimating venues across the country on their sold-out 2025 run, the Zurich four-piece have just announced a massive seven-date Australian headline tour for January and February 2027. Trust me when I say this is shaping up to be one of the absolute heaviest and most anticipated tours of the year.Ever since they detonated onto the global metal scene, Paleface Swiss have earned a formidable reputation for unleashing some of the most volatile and relentlessly aggressive live shows on the planet. Led by the maniacal vocal delivery of frontman Marc "Zelli" Zellweger, the band has been steadily conquering the heavy music world, a fact proven by their latest record, Cursed, smashing its way into the top ten of the Spotify Global Charts. Now, armed with a brand new EP, The Wilted, and a hunger to tear our rooms apart, they are ready to level up the aggression for Aussie crowds.But they aren't coming alone. To ensure maximum sonic devastation, they are bringing Canadian metalcore powerhouses Counterparts - fronted by the unfiltered Brendan Murphy - and Colorado's crushing hardcore-groove outfit Fox Lake along for the ride. The tour kicks off at the Astor Theatre in Perth on Wednesday, 27 January, before hitting Adelaide's ferocious Froth & Fury Festival, Melbourne's iconic Forum, Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, and wrapping up in Townsville. It is a massive, comprehensive lap of honour that proves just how much these Swiss heavyweights love the insane energy of the Australian metal community.I had the absolute pleasure of pulling up a virtual barstool with the main man himself, Marc "Zelli" Zellweger, to find out exactly what the band has in store for us. We chatted all about the chaotic memories from their last Australian visit, the intense sonic evolution behind their latest brutal material, and what it feels like to lead one of the fastest-growing forces in modern extreme music. Zelli is always one of the most passionate, down-to-earth guys to speak to in the business, and his excitement for this upcoming run is completely infectious. So, turn the volume up to eleven, check out our full chat below, and make sure you secure your tickets before they inevitably vanish!Tickets www.thephoenix.auBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
Interview by Kris PetersWhen American metal titans Motionless In White announce a new record, the heavy music community stands up and takes notice. Celebrating two decades of sonic devastation, Chris Motionless and his gothic-metalcore troupe are poised to unleash their highly anticipated seventh studio album, Decades, on July 17. It is a monstrous, career-defining release that effortlessly honours their dark history while forcefully kicking down the doors to the future. From the industrial venom of the lead singles to the monumental collaborations featuring massive names like Slipknot's Corey Taylor plus Skylar Grey, Decades is a masterclass in survival, raw passion, and artistic evolution.HEAVY sat down with frontman Chris Motionless to find out more."It's an exciting time," he enthused when asked how he is feeling about the new album. "We have been working for what feels like literally forever on the record, (laughs) so it's still very weird for me to think that we even have singles out… It's just a very different shift in life, but it's really cool because finally the music gets to see the light of day."We ask Chris to tell us more about Decades musically."This one was definitely - as every band's gonna tell you (smiles) - trying to go above everything we've ever done," he replied. "Catchier. Heavier, blah blah blah, but it's true. We definitely wanted to make sure that everything that we do, that I think the fans love the most, was considered heavily on this one. We really wanted to try and make sure that their feedback was listened to and that we were integrating what fans love the most and then what we love most about the band, and I think that's maybe the reason why things feel pretty positive so far."We bring up the heavier aspect alluded to on Decades, asking what he means specifically by heavier."I would say it's a mixture of everything," he measured. "I think the music may not be so much heavier all around, but there's definitely much more energy. There's so much more fast-paced, or more… just much more energy in every way. There's only one sad, emotional song, per se. Usually, we have three or four, but this one's only got the main one, and the rest is constant rolling energy that I think really helps the album feel different from any other Motionless record. The lyrical content, yeah. Some of it's heavy, some of it's fun. It's a good mixture of everything. I wouldn't say that there's too much, like, you're gonna hear and go (exhales deeply) I need a break from that. It's more meant to be an exciting and uplifting experience."In the full interview, Chris dives deeper into the musicality of Decades, including the well-documented writer's block he had early in the process, what snapped that and how it impacted the rest of the album. He talked us through the opening track, Decades, and why it was chosen to introduce the album, as well as the momentum shift between songs on the album and how Motionless In White allow for a smooth transition.We talked about the different genres expressed in Motionless In White's music, and how they find the balance in the creative process, the first time he heard one of their songs on the radio and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

The BreakdownMost bands try to look cool on stage; Release The Captive just proves that behind-the-scenes chaos is where the real magic happens—and how they still crush it despite juggling life and moving into a new place.Imagine a bunch of Texas musicians navigating tech nightmares, Craigslist hunts, and still managing to deliver a raw, authentic metal experience that keeps fans moshing and the scene alive. Ryan Rayle hosts this hilarious and honest conversation with the band that's been tearing up Austin for six years with new ,music on the menu.You'll discover: how to make tech issues disappear faster than Ryan's wife's mirror, the surprising power of local shows for testing new material and why being “Craigslist certified” might just be the new badge of honor in the underground scene. We also break down the band's unique blend of old-school influences with a fresh, nu metal revival—plus, their plans to dominate Texas stages and eventually, the world.This episode is for musicians tired of overproduced nonsense, for fans who want to hear what real guys sound like when the mics are on, and for anyone who loves a good story about resilience, friendship, and loud guitars. If you're longing for a peek behind the curtain of a truly genuine band, this one's for you.Episode InfoBand IG: @ / releasethecaptiveband Band Website: https://linktr.ee/releasethecaptiveATXMP Website: https://atxmp.transistor.fm/Subscribe to ATX Metal Podcast on YouTube: / @atxmetalpodcast 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/
"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.

In Episode 154 of the Metal Maniacs Podcast, host Jay Ingersoll sits down with Michigan metal veterans Withhold The Blood to break down over 16 years of grinding through the underground scene. From their early inception around 2010 to their latest 2026 single Nation of Fallacy, this episode dives deep into evolution, persistence, and crushing riffs.We talk about the current lineup featuring Jesse (vocals), Eli (drums), and Brandon (guitar), and how the band has stayed alive through lineup changes, limited online presence, and years between releases. Despite the chaos, the passion for heavy music never left.We revisit their early work including the 2014 EP Detached From Reality, featuring long-form songwriting, massive riffs, and vocal highs reminiscent of Randy Blythe. Tracks like “The Chosen” and “Eye For Misery” showcase their early blend of groove, melody, and raw aggression.Then we dig into 2018's Aberration, where the band leveled up—introducing heavier tones, tighter production, double bass intensity, and stronger deathcore influences. Songs like “Impulse to Kill,” “Broken Dreams,” and “Empty Confessions” highlight their growth in songwriting, rhythm, and technicality.Their newest release, “Nation of Fallacy” (2026), pushes even further—leaning harder into deathcore with relentless vocals, sharp melodic experimentation, and standout guitar work. This track feels like a natural evolution of Aberration while carving a heavier, more refined identity.We also cover:The band's origin and what kept them going for over a decadeLineup changes including past drummers like Levi Smith, Gary Swaggerty, and Mike MillerTheir writing process, riff development, and solo decisionsProduction approach, tone, gear, and tuning choicesLive shows, touring history (including 2019 runs), and recent gigs with VestigialPractice routines and collaboration dynamicsLife outside music, gaming, and influences they're listening to nowWhat's next for Withhold The BloodThis is a must-listen for fans of metalcore, deathcore, groove metal, and underground heavy music culture.
"I would argue that Sempiternal is their re-debut album. It pivoted to something that's a little bit more poppy for the mainstream general audience... it very much was a rebranding of them in a way." This week, Brian and Lizzie dissect Bring Me The Horizon's pivotal 2013 album, Sempiternal. They discuss the addition of Jordan Fish, Oli Sykes' shift to clean vocals, and how the band laid the blueprint for modern metalcore. A decade after its release, Bring Me The Horizon's Sempiternal remains a monumental record in emo history and modern metalcore. Brian and Lizzie sit down to review the album that transformed BMTH from a raw deathcore act into global rock superstars. They analyze the massive impact of Jordan Fish joining the band, bringing cinematic synths and EDM influences that completely reshaped their sonic landscape. The hosts break down Oli Sykes' evolution into clean, Linkin Park-inspired vocals and review standout tracks like 'Can You Feel My Heart', 'Shadow Moses', and 'Sleepwalking'. From the pop punk level of catchy hooks embedded in their heavy breakdowns to the nuanced electronic soundscapes that paved the way for the current 'baddiecore' movement, this episode covers it all. Did Sempiternal single-handedly save a stale scene, or are there valid critiques of its straightforward lyrics? Tune in to hear the Emo Social Club's final verdict on this definitive release.
