We looked back on the band's journey since forming in Vancouver in 2004, Ryan's impact since joining in 2012, and how more than two decades of evolution, chart success, and hundreds of millions of streams shaped the mindset behind this new record. The conversation also dug into the album's mix of heaviness and melody, the band's refreshed chemistry, and Ryan's personal passions offstage—including his longtime devotion to hockey and the Edmonton Oilers.

U.S rock/metal outfit Story Of The Year exploded onto the scene with their groundbreaking debut Page Avenue, one of the first albums of its kind to sell over a million copies.The breakout single “Until the Day I Die” quickly became both an enduring anthem and a mission statement for the band. What began as four friends working in a St. Louis pizza joint evolved into a movement, connecting deeply with fans through every era. From Page Avenue (2003) to In the Wake of Determination (2005), The Black Swan (2008), The Constant (2010), Wolves (2017), and Tear Me to Pieces (2023) the band, comprised of Dan Marsala, Ryan Phillips, Josh Wills, and Adam Russell, has delivered a signature blend of melodic aggression, raw vulnerability, and anthems built to scream along to in the dark.And, fans will be pleased to confirm, Story Of The Year are back bigger and better with A.R.S.O.N., marking the next evolution of the band's signature sound and raw, personal lyricism - elements that have earned the band a dedicated global following. An acronym for “All Rage, Still Only Numb,” the album channels their trademark energy into a powerful exploration of anxiety, emotional turmoil and inner darkness. With a dynamic blend of modern post-hardcore, polished production, and nods to their emo roots, A.R.S.O.N. delivers a compelling, storied sonic journey through the fight of Story Of The Year to make it through this life.HEAVY recently caught up with vocalist/drummer Dan Marsala to find out more, running through our review of the album track by track and listening to his thoughts on our thoughts...Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Explosive Ukrainian metalcore force SPACE OF VARIATIONS returns with their new album, Poisoned Art, out now via Napalm Records. Blending furious brutality with heartfelt emotion, the four-piece band sheds their skin and continues to push the boundaries of modern metal, their new record showing a new facet of their ever-evolving sound—a new era.Bold as ever, Poisoned Art explores the boundaries of modern sounds. SPACE OF VARIATIONS directs the way into the future of metalcore: unbroken, unapologetic—unstoppable.HEAVY caught up with the band to find out more, starting by asking how they were feeling about Poisoned Art just out from last weeks release."I'm excited, confident, but in the same way, I'm thinking how to play these songs live," Dima Kozhuhar (vocals) replied. "It's both things for me. It's like excitement and a little bit of like fear, you know, how the people will react. But in the end, I'm happy that we did this album and finished it."We ask the band to dive deeper into the album from a musical point of view."What can I say about musical parts from a musical point of view?" Alex Zatserkovny (guitar, vocals) measured. "It's a natural extension of our previous art. For me it's still Space Of Variations and we always change something when we're recording. It's like normal, organic and natural stuff. I don't know, we're always looking for some new angles, new points of view or art. No dramatic changes, I believe, but at the same time, I believe this album sounds very different from all previous albums."Discussion then moved into musical intent and composition: the band described the album as a natural extension of prior work, blending genres and seeking new angles in composition and sound. They explained the singles strategy—releasing varied tracks (Halo, Tribe, Lies, Doppelganger, Ghost Town) to keep listeners uncertain about the album's full scope—and confirmed Tribe was chosen as opener and lead single for its impactful qualities. They addressed bilingual lyrics as a nod to Ukrainian fans and discussed touring ambitions including a clear interest in playing Australia, plus more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Formed in early 2022, Townsville metal outfit Varrim burst onto the scene with their debut single Buried in the Hills in August 2022, immediately setting the tone for their signature sound: angry, heavy, and groovy, with blasts of rage, wicked hooks, and evil breakdowns. This track marked the start of what would become Varrim's DNA.Following up with Spirit Bomb - inspired by vocalist Kurt's love for Goku from Dragon Ball Z - the band continued to refine their sound — blending brutal heaviness with melodic and chaotic energy. In April 2023, Varrim released Hunger for the Taste of Conquer, while simultaneously chipping away at their debut EP, Funeral for the Undead, featuring four tracks: Funeral for the Undead, Slaves, Genetic Hell, and Dethroned.The EP launched Varrim into live performance mode, securing shows across Cairns, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, and Yeppoon. Known for their high-energy, brutal live sets, Varrim quickly gained a reputation as a band to watch in the local heavy scene.In December 2024, the band teamed up with local filmmaker Arik to release their debut music video for the single Exhume, featuring vocals from Yowie Smith. Exhume showcased a new direction for Varrim — darker, heavier, and packed with groove-laden, crushing breakdowns — setting the stage for the band's next evolution.Throughout the following year, Varrim focused on recording their next single, Carnography, and developing a music video to match. Despite a busy year of recording and production, the band still tore up stages alongside acts like Hidden Intent, King Parrot, and Pig Destroyer, as well as performing with numerous local heavy bands, steadily building a devoted following.Carnography, dropping 21/02/26, will be the first release from Varrim's upcoming 5-track EP Devourance. With more music, more live shows, and a relentless drive, 2026 promises to be another year of growth, aggression, and pure Varrim energy.

A whole new world of inventive, insidious and infectious metalcore awaits in 2026, with Melbourne's The Gloom In The Corner -- Mikey Arthur (vocals), Jesse Abdurazak (guitar), Paul Musolino (bass) and Joshua Clinch (drums) -- on the cusp of releasing their third full-length album Royal Discordance, due out on Friday 27 February via SharpTone Records.A record that could readily soundtrack an Anime epic, a Netflix smash series, or a sprawling open-world game, Royal Discordance is certainly not your average metalcore album. An action-packed opus hell-bent on sharp narratives and astonishing sonic dexterity, Royal Discordance journeys between an all-out onslaught (previous single Assassination Run) through to cinematic-yet-sinister brutality on Nope (Hollow Point Elysium), grinning chaotic frenzy on You Didn't Like Me Then (You Won't Like Me Now), and a double closing sucker punch via the two-track suite Love 1: A Quaver Through the Pale and Love 2: A Walk Amongst The Poppy Fields.HEAVY caught up with Mikey Arthur to find out more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Pipeman interviews Welsh metalcore band Bless Your Dead.Rising from the ashes of When We Were Wolves, the band announce their arrival with the release of their debut single “Everyone's A Target” — a no-holds-barred statement of intent from a band reborn heavier, sharper and more focused than ever.They've just announced their debut show, performing at Noizzefest in Cardiff this April.The track is due for release on 5th February and is the first single from a wave of new music lined up for 2026. Bless Your Dead are poised to make a serious impact, returning with a sound that is heavier, more refined and more confrontational than ever before.Formerly known as When We Were Wolves, the four-piece metalcore outfit have spent the past year tearing everything down and rebuilding from the ground up. The result is Bless Your Dead: a band delivering heavy riffs, crushing breakdowns and anthemic choruses, driven by a renewed sense of purpose and aggression. The band features vocalist Mitch Bock, guitarists Jay Coatsworth and Jack Adams, and drummer Kristian Eirsland “After taking a year away to write and record, it became apparent that the material we were working on was something completely different to what we'd done before — and that's when Bless Your Dead was born,” explains vocalist Mitch Bock. “Everyone's A Target” serves as the first taste of what's to come. Though it was the final video shot from an upcoming run of three singles, the band felt it was the strongest introduction to their new sound. “Being a band that mixes heavy and melodic, we felt this track was the perfect place to start,” says Mitch. “It's got riffs, a big chorus and a breakdown — everything that represents us right now. ”Lyrically, the track channels raw frustration and defiance. “It's about reaching breaking point with forced loyalty and surface-level behavior, and finally snapping back.”With a wave of new music lined up for 2026, Bless Your Dead are poised to make a serious impact, returning with a sound that is heavier, more refined and more confrontational than ever before.Click Here to Subscribe to The Adventures of Pipeman for PERKS, BONUS Content & FREE GIVEWAYS! Pipeman in the Pit features all kinds of music and interviews with bands & music artists especially in the genres of Heavy Metal, Rock, Hard Rock, Classic Rock, Punk Rock, Goth, Industrial, Alternative, Thrash Metal & Indie Music.

Step into Episode 194 of On The Delo as David DeLorenzo sits down with Zach and Ruly Couch of The Restaurant Brokers—a father-son powerhouse who've dominated Arizona's restaurant market for over four decades. From Ruly's bold decision to go restaurant-exclusive in 1990 to Zach joining the family business and bringing fresh energy, this conversation reveals what it really takes to thrive in a hyper-specialized niche.Discover why saying "no" to everything else made them Arizona's most trusted restaurant brokerage, how they've navigated the hardest market conditions in restaurant history, and what separates them from every other commercial agent chasing the same deals. You'll hear stories from their first listing ever, the misconceptions sellers bring to the table, why lease rates are crushing independent operators, and how they use AI to work smarter—not harder. Plus, Zach drops insights on why younger restaurant owners are drinking less and pivoting to healthier alternatives, how they scout deals nobody else can find, and why keeping things small and specialized beats chasing growth at any cost. Whether you're looking to buy, sell, or just understand what's happening in Arizona's restaurant ecosystem, this episode is required listening.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:00 - 1:36) Intro Vibes: Episode 194, Birthday Countdowns, and Meeting the Brokers(1:37 - 2:07) First Deal Ever: Endgame Arcade Bar in Mesa and a Decade of Growth(2:08 - 6:02) From Regular Brokerage to Restaurants Only: Ruly's Journey and the Moment Everything Changed(6:03 - 7:31) Why Zach Joined the Family Business: Lifestyle, People, and Learning from the Best(7:32 - 8:36) Social Media vs. Person-to-Person: The Mix That Moves Listings(8:37 - 13:05) Why Restaurateurs Sell: Conversions, Retirements, and the Bones That Matter(13:06 - 14:25) Arizona Exclusive: Why Specialization in One Market Beats National Reach(14:26 - 15:22) What Differentiates Them: Lease Rates, Location Trends, and Local Independent Operators(15:23 - 16:22) Building Relationships: Events, Mentorship, and Knowing Everyone(16:23 - 20:03) Zach's Band Life: From Creed Concerts to Metalcore, Playing 8-9 Shows a Year(20:04 - 22:35) Business Security in the AI Era: Why Restaurants Will Always Need Brokers(22:36 - 27:00) Labor Costs, Occupancy Rates, and Mandatory Drink Spiking Kits(27:01 - 26:42) The Younger Generation's Shift Away from Alcohol and Healthier Bar Alternatives(26:43 - 31:15) Keeping It Small: Why Growth at Any Cost Isn't the Goal(31:16 - 35:00) Rapid-Fire Questions: Concert Preferences, Favorite Hobbies, and the Limo Days(35:01 - 37:34) Real Advice for Buyers and Sellers: Polish the Apple and Run It Till You're Out(37:35 - 39:00) How to Connect with The Restaurant Brokers and the Mystery of Spelling "Restaurant"(39:01 - 41:14) Delo's Closing: Why Stories Matter and Built Different Community Launch

Send us a textWe sat down with Volumes vocalists Michael Barr and Myke Terry to reflect on the band's journey from their 2009 Los Angeles beginnings to the release of their fifth album, Mirror Touch, out via Fearless Records. We looked back on the trials, lineup changes, and dedication that shaped Volumes into one of modern metalcore's most distinctive voices, while also diving into their live energy, touring life, and the bands that continue to inspire them. The conversation explored the writing process behind Mirror Touch, the pressure and responsibility that comes with longevity, and how the album represents a full evolution of the Volumes sound — blending groove, atmosphere, polyrhythmic heaviness, and unmistakable swagger. Michael and Myke also opened up about balancing dual vocal roles, working again with producer Daniel Braunstein, the album's striking visual identity, and the deeply human themes running through the lyrics. Mirror Touch stands as both a celebration of Volumes' past and a confident step into their future. Mirror Touch is out now worldwide via Fearless Records.Stay connected with Volumes, Instagram and FacebookStay connected with IUF

Episode 450, including tracks from The Krays, ALL CRÜ, Wrong Side, ZEROZEROZERO, Citric Dummies, The Stripp, Stay At Home Dads, The Mispelt, U.K. Subs, Zounds, Sargent Baker, Cold Drop, and Before The Sirens. Eric adds his upcoming releases, but is unable to make it this episode. The episode is loaded with a bunch of new music shared with us, a great album, and wrap up the show with a Rock/Metal track and Metalcore track.

It doesn't get more metaphysical than this! In this amazing conversation, Jyl and Jules Wylde of nu-metalcore rising stars The Pretty Wild and I dive as deep as it gets into some incredibly meaningful ideas and questions, including transformation of consciousness, the abject power of the divine feminine and reconnecting with the healthy and supportive masculine side of ourselves, the law of resonance, somatic intelligence and so, so much more. Not only do these sisters absolutely rip and have incredible hooks on their debut album "zero.point.genesis," they are some of the most embodied and self knowing musicians I've met. They are so in tune with their inner lives, and it truly was an incredible pleasure and honor to have this conversation with them. The Pretty Wild's debut album "zero.point.genesis" is out now via Sumerian Records wherever you stream music.
