Hosted by Jay Ingersoll & Modd, this episode dives into a topic every metalhead can relate to: **gateway bands**—the artists that first sparked our obsession with heavy music and led us down the path to extreme metal, death metal, metalcore, black metal, and beyond.

Fit For A King singer Ryan Kirby zoomed in to talk about their new album "Lonely God" (out 8/1/25). Here's what we talked about: "Lonely God" album (0-3) "Shelter" song (3-5) Music videos (5-6) "Technium" song (6-10) "The Lonely God" tour on 11/1 at HOB and 11/2 at The Belasco (10-12) "Metalcore Dropouts" tour (12-13) Metalcore (13-16) Mandatory Metallica (16-end)

Interview by Kris PetersAmerican progressive metalcore band Born of Osiris are well known for their technical precision. While essentially complex music, Born Of Osiris blend a plethora of styles and influences to devastating effect.Their sound has evolved from post-hardcore/metalcore roots to a signature blend of technical deathcore and progressive elements marked by intricate guitar work, heavy synths, and a mix of guttural and clean vocals. The band has released seven studio albums, with notable works including A Higher Place (2009), The Discovery (2011), and Angel or Alien (2021).Earlier this month, the band released Through Shadows, their seventh studio album and the first as a trio following the departure of longtime guitarist Lee McKinney and keyboardist Joe Buras. The 13-track album, featuring previously released singles like “Torchbearer” (2023), “A Mind Short Circuiting,” “Elevate,” “In Desolation,” and the title track, blends the band's technical metalcore roots with a cinematic, sci-fi aesthetic and a return to their heavier, deathcore-adjacent sound.HEAVY sat down with vocalist Ronnie Canizaro to dive deeper, at one point asking how the newer songs were going over live."When we started playing Elevate, that song just popped off live," he smiled. "You just saw people bouncing and enjoying it, and that's one of my favourite songs to play live right now. It's my first time ever doing cleans on a Born of Osiris album, so I was kind of like, are people going to like this? But at the same time, I just wanted to do it because that's what I wanted to do. And I want to try new things. And yeah, those songs go over great live. Songs like A Mind Short Circuiting, that's just a very brutal, technical song and people are headbanging to every song so far. I feel when we play the newer stuff you can hear a difference compared to the older stuff. You can tell we're getting better at our craft."In the full interview, Ronnie talked about the early reception for Through Shadows, the prolonged release schedule and if it was planned that way and whether it gets easier or harder to come up with fresh material the more you write.We discussed their evolving sound and how they have changed musically over the years, the musical climate that gave birth to the band, how much growth they have left in them as a band and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Interview by Kris PetersAmerican metalcore outfit Fit For A King have never backed away from allowing their music the time and space it needs to breathe.Since unleashing their debut album Descendants in 2011, the band have experimented with a variety of sounds and genres, often overlapping them with each other and harnessing the resulting unpredictability into an ever-evolving sonic palette of metalcore unpredictability, alternative melody, and deathcore brutality laced with electronic alchemy.Fourteen years after embracing their destiny, Fit For A King stand on the cusp of unveiling their eighth album Lonely God, boasting all of the sonic hallmarks Fit For A King fans have come to know and love — gnarly riffs, guttural growls, deep grooves, and a slightly industrial crunch that takes things to the next level, every single time - with some expected moderations.Frontman Ryan Kirby joined HEAVY to go into greater detail."I feel good," he enthused when asked about the new album. "I'm always eager to get the new record out once we start rolling it out."We ask what fans can expect from the album musically."This time around, we just wanted to not have any agendas," he replied. "We just wanted to write music that we enjoy writing, and I think it turned out that way. I think because of that, the record is my personal favourite that we've ever written."In the full interview, Ryan dives deeper into Lonely God, including the singles released and how they represent the album as a whole. He mentions the difficulty in selecting songs to release because of the eclectic nature of their music, insisting fans don't fall into the trap of assuming the rest of the album is just a rehash of the songs released from it.He talked about the album opener Begin The Sacrifice and why it was chosen as the first song, how Lonely God differs to 2022's The Hell We Create, the performance of The Plot In You vocalist Landon Tewers on Technium and the close relationship the two bands have, their upcoming Australian tour together, their version of genre mashing and how it comes together in the creative process, playing all ages shows and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

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.
