On Episode 138 of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd welcome back returning guest Alex Eilers to talk about the upcoming Funeral Language record Thank You For The Dead Body, out January 20th, 2026.This episode is a deep dive into a record that feels sharper, leaner, and more direct than anything Funeral Language has released before. Jay gives his honest first impressions of the album — a sound that's fully honed in, familiar but unmistakably its own. More punk rock in spirit, zero fluff, and just 22 minutes of pure chaos, with nearly half the songs launching straight into vocals. We unpack how this approach is almost the opposite of what was discussed around the last record — and why that shift felt necessary.Alex breaks down the songwriting mindset, the aggression, the grooves, and the intentional choices that shaped the album, plus the creation of the visual and content pieces surrounding the release.Track-by-track discussion includes:Imhumane (1:25)Groove-heavy opener with added low vocals, a menacing feel, and the perfect ending touch with the Addison voicemail.Deathwish Complex (2:45)Catchy, chaotic energy with a Lowist feature, “come on come on” hooks, early punk-era Marilyn Manson vibes, and a killer sliding groove.Bailey Ruban (3:03)Layered vocals, call-out sections, discordant rhythms, Vision of Disorder–style singing, cymbal ring-outs, and ideas worth pushing even further.A Rope 2 Ways (2:52)Nonstop energy, extended screams, borderline Sam Kinison madness, vocal overload, and a hard-grooving warning section.Dead Meat (3:10)Immediate nonsense vocals, aggressive riffs, discordant slides, a nasty 2:08 groove, and perfectly timed vocal pullbacks.Whiskey Foxtrot (3:06)Descending hammer-on riffs, triplet grooves, Dillinger-style grindy chaos, cowbell and woodblock accents, and a bluesy punk rock ending.Thank You For The Dead Body (2:44)More cowbell, Every Time I Die energy, VOD-inspired vocals, and a crushing final riff with discordant guitar interplay.Rain Check (3:13)Grindy noise sections, descending melodies, ringing cymbals, and one of the most chaotic moments on the record.We also talk about:Why this record cuts straight to the pointVocals-first songwriting and immediate impactPunk influences vs metal rootsCreating visual and content pieces for the albumWhat's next for Funeral LanguageIf you're into hardcore, punk-infused metal, chaotic grooves, and honest creative evolution, this episode is a must-listen.

Happy New Year, friends. I hope you had an amazing end-of-year celebration and are now ready for a fresh set of 12 months. In this first show of 2026, I wanted to do another bootleg edition. I thought we were well overdue for another one. However, there are so many tracks that I didn't have a chance to play yet, so for today, I will put some of them to work. To highlight a few, how about Ancient Soul, Guy Gerber, Modd, and Michael Cassette, is back on Anjunadeep and I was excited to hear some fresh material from him. I will be playing one of his latest. The classic comes from a forgotten gem by NUfrequency. Let me know what you think about this episode.

This week, Jay and Modd dive deep into one of the most explosive, misunderstood, and undeniably iconic elements of heavy music: **THE BREAKDOWN**. But not the typical crowd-picked favorites — we're talking the breakdowns that *we* think truly rewrote the rules, flipped entire genres on their heads, and made metal fans everywhere stop what they were doing and say: “Holy sh*t.”Before we get into our picks, we break down (no pun intended) what a breakdown actually is, why it matters in metal, and how it became a cornerstone of some of the heaviest subgenres on the planet.We explore how a great breakdown works:* The **half-time drum shift** that makes everything hit harder.* **Palm-muted chugs** synced to the kick drum.* The importance of **space, repetition, and tension**.* How drop tunings, syncopation, and rhythmic simplicity create maximum impact.* Why breakdowns often become the *identity* of a band or album.Breakdowns aren't just musical moments — they're **communal experiences**. They're the point in a show where the crowd becomes part of the song: the pit opens, the adrenaline spikes, the riff takes over, and chaos becomes art.After breaking down the anatomy of a breakdown, Jay and Modd reveal their personal list of **underrated, overlooked, and genre-defining breakdowns** — the ones that shaped our listening habits and set the bar for heaviness:Throughout the episode, we discuss why these moments hit so hard, what makes them stand out from the sea of breakdowns across metal, and how they've shaped the bands that came after. We also share stories about discovering these tracks, seeing them live, and how breakdowns have evolved from the 90s to now.This is a must-listen episode for metalcore fans, deathcore kids, old-school purists, and anyone who loves a riff that hits like a wrecking ball.Listen. Headbang.

You already know what time it is — we're scouring the underground to find the heaviest, most creative, and most unhinged sounds the metal world has to offer.
Boobie and Modd are back, and it's been way too long. Episode 177 kicks off with a look at the black-tie concert wave that's taken over the culture and has everybody trading hoodies for formal wear. From there, the conversation gets even deeper as the guys react to Stephen A. Smith's comments on Jasmine Crockett, unpack the widening gap between Black elites and everyday Black folks, and question why Black people have become the face of food stamps—especially with benefits being cut right before the holidays. They also explore the timeless debate of how much money is truly enough, discuss Kamala Harris eyeing another run for president, and close with a real conversation about the types of people we choose to keep in our circle.

On this episode of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd sit down via Zoom with one of the Midwest's most terrifyingly powerful death metal forces — CASKET ROBBERY! Hailing from Madison, Wisconsin, this band has carved out a bloody niche in modern metal by blending crushing grooves, eerie melodies, and horror-inspired atmosphere into a sound that's unmistakably their own.We dig deep into the dark roots and evolution of the band, from their humble beginnings in 2011 with founding guitarist Cory Scheider (ex-Luna Mortis, Epicurean), to the arrival of their ferocious vocalist Megan Orvold-Scheider, whose commanding voice and intense stage presence have become synonymous with Casket Robbery's brand of death metal destruction. We cover everything from the inception of the band and the origin of their name, to their writing process, tone crafting, production methods, and the bloody live shows that leave fans both terrified and exhilarated. Casket Robbery's story is one of dedication, evolution, and sheer brutality — with a wink and a scream.

Welcome to Episode 122 of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, hosted by Jay Ingersoll and Modd! This week is an extra special one, as we're joined by a lifelong friend and the man partly responsible for the very existence of this podcast: Dave Stark.For those who don't know the backstory — Dave played a crucial role in sparking Jay and Nick's (Modd's) passion for music. Without him, the two might never have picked up instruments, met, or started down the path that eventually led to creating this very show. In many ways, Dave is a foundational part of The Metal Maniacs story.Not only that, but Dave has been a die-hard Ozzy Osbourne fan for decades. In fact, he was the one who first took Jay to see Ozzy live back in 1995 — an experience that left a lifelong mark and set the stage for a deep love of heavy metal.In this episode, we sit down and dive into:The legacy of Ozzy Osbourne and why he remains one of the most important figures in metal historyOur personal stories and connections to Ozzy's music through the yearsThe guitarists and albums that shaped Ozzy's solo career and cemented his role as the “Prince of Darkness”Each of us choosing our Top 5 favorite Ozzy songs, breaking down why they matter and what makes them timeless classicsFrom early masterpieces like Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman, to later era gems like No More Tears and beyond, this conversation is both nostalgic and celebratory. Whether you're a casual fan or a die-hard Ozzy disciple, this episode will remind you just how much Ozzy has influenced generations of fans and musicians alike.Along the way, you'll hear stories about growing up with metal, how Ozzy concerts changed our lives, and why certain songs carry more weight than just riffs and lyrics — they become memories, moments, and the soundtrack to who we are.
