In the beginning, God said, “Let there be light.” But then, apparently, He got bored and switched it off just to see what would happen. Welcome to Sitting in the Dark, where this month Kynan, Chelsea, Tommy, and Pete explore what happens when filmmakers yank away humanity's favorite nightlight. Their lineup: Wait Until Dark (1967), Don't Breathe (2016), and Pitch Black (2000)—three films that remind us that darkness isn't just the absence of light, it's the presence of bad decisions.We start with Wait Until Dark, in which Audrey Hepburn, recently blinded, gets harassed by Alan Arkin and a few other men who apparently missed the memo about “don't terrorize vulnerable women.” Then we stumble into Don't Breathe, where three young idiots break into the wrong house and discover that Stephen Lang's blind war vet has taken “home security” to a level that can only be described as “OSHA violation.” Finally, the crew rockets to Pitch Black, where Vin Diesel proves once again that he can growl through any lighting condition. It's a film so early-2000s it practically comes with a Nu Metal soundtrack and a free AOL disc.So grab your flashlights, blow out your candles, and maybe keep one bulb unbroken… you know, just in case.Featured FilmsTonight's Triple Feature:Wait Until Dark - Apple TV | Amazon | LetterboxdPitch Black - Apple TV | Amazon | LetterboxdDon't Breathe - Apple TV | Amazon | LetterboxdView Our List on Letterboxd (00:00) - Welcome to Sitting in the Dark (02:05) - Between Light and Dark (04:33) - Wait Until Dark (25:44) - Don't Breathe (47:20) - Pitch Black Support The Next Reel Family of Film Podcasts:Become a member for just $5/month or $55/yearJoin our Discord community of movie loversThe Next Reel Family of Film Podcasts:Cinema Scope: Bridging Genres, Subgenres, and MovementsThe Film BoardMovies We LikeThe Next Reel Film PodcastSitting in the DarkConnect With Us:Main Site: WebMovie Platforms: Letterboxd | FlickchartSocial Media: Facebook | Instagram | Threads | Bluesky | YouTube | PinterestYour Hosts: Kyle | Kynan | Pete | TommyShop & Stream:Merch Store: Apparel, stickers, mugs & moreWatch Page: Buy/rent films we've discussedOriginals: Source material from our episodesSpecial offers: Letterboxd Pro/Patron discount | Audible
Dry Kill Logic is one of those Nu-Metal bands that seemed to slip through the cracks during the heyday of the early to mid 2000s, but their catalog was far ahead of its time in terms of sound, songwriting, aesthetics, and performance. Today, the band is back and experiencing a big resurgence, and I'm so grateful I got to speak with vocalist Cliff Rigano on the show. He's an incredibly kind, gracious, and articulate guy with so much wisdom to impart, and we spoke about topics like staying true to the courage of your convictions in life, the necessity to change and adapt to the events around you, what the most profound transformation of his life was, and so much more. Big thank you to Cliff for being so open, and go see Dry Kill Logic when they arrive in your area! Also be sure to check out their newest single, "Now You Belong With the Dead," which is out everywhere you stream music.

Few bands in history have left such a lasting impression in music as Santa Barbara funk metal outfit Snot.Forming in 1995, Snot released just one album before having their career cut short by the tragic death of frontman Lynn Strait. Despite their short time as a band, such was the impression left by Lynn and Snot that after his death, a tribute album called Strait Up was recorded in his honour, featuring everyone from Slipknot to System Of A Down to Sevendust paying tribute to the man and his music.Snot's fusion of genres - before it was common to do so - stood them out from other bands of the era, with their blending of hardcore, punk, nu metal and funk combining for the masterpiece that was their debut album Get Some.The band have flirted with the idea of reigniting the flame with a new frontman several times since Lynn's passing, but until recently, and buoyed by the resurgence of nu metal, have failed to find that elusive spark that ignited three decades ago to create pure musical magic.Next January, for the first time in over a decade, Snot return to Australia for a run of shows with Soulfly and Nailbomb - including Froth & Fury Festival - with vocalist Andy Knapp (Stronger Than Machines) to introduce a new generation to the power of music. HEAVY spoke with bass player John Fahnestock to find out what to expect. We start by running over the three touring bands - Soulfly, Nailbomb and Snot - and reiterate the quality of music in one package."Soulfly and Nailbomb, right," John laughed. "They are good friends of ours. We have known each other for, God, going on 25 years or more. Mikey (Doling, founding member and guitarist) also played in Soulfly after Snot, after Lynn had passed. So, we're out on the road with family again. We played with Soulfly in Mexico City back in May and rekindled our friendship, and here we are coming to Australia now."We ask John about their new vocalist, Andy Knapp, and what they were looking for in a frontman after trialling two previous vocalists in Tommy Vext and Carl Bensley."I think the whole thing is a lot different now," he measured. "We are pretty much saying Snot is back at this point. We finally found in Andy what we basically were dreaming of having, and I'm not saying anything negative on the past singers that we had. Before, when we put Snot back together, it wasn't like 'we're reforming, we're back', anything like that. We were just more doing it for fun, for the love of music, the love of Jamie and Mikey and myself playing together.And we were like, let's go out and play the songs, you know? But it wasn't seriously saying we're back and coming back here to stay, like we are now. It's a blessing to have found Andy and what he's doing, and obviously, the response from the fans has been nothing but positive."In the full interview, John spoke more about the upcoming Australian shows, what has changed with the band in the decade since they were last here and what we can expect. He spoke more about welcoming Andy Knapp as frontman and what sorts of things Snot were looking for in their new vocalist.He told us about the first show with Knapp and how old time fans reacted, how Snot's music relates with modern audiences, and how their sound shaped a generation of bands. We talked about the early days of Snot and the musical climate that gave birth to the band, their initial sound and how they found the balance between genres, including how to know when or if they had gone too far in one direction or not far enough in another.We spoke about the impact of Snot's debut album, Get Some, and the band's initial feelings on the album, including Lynn Strait's early vision for Snot and his musical passion. John delved deeper into the tribute album Strait Up and the contributions of the many bands, new music the band have written and if that will translate into a full album and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
Mit "Hybrid Theory" legte Linkin Park im Oktober 2000 ein Debüt hin, das Musikgeschichte schrieb. Der Mix aus Rock, Rap und Nu Metal traf den Nerv einer ganzen Generation. Mit über 30 Millionen verkaufte Alben gilt es als das erfolgreichste Debüt aller Zeiten. Am 24. Oktober 2025 feiert "Hybrid Theory" seinen 25. Geburtstag. Auf dem Album befinden sich unter anderem Songs wie "Papercut", "Crawling" und "In The End", die es bis heute schaffen, ihre Hörerinnen und Hörer emotional zu erreichen. Dabei waren die Anfänge für Linkin Park gar nicht so einfach. 1996 gründeten Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson und Rob Bourdon die Band "Xero". Mit Joe Hahn, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell und Mark Wakefield wuchs das Projekt schnell. Farrell und Wakefield verließen die Band nach kurzer Zeit, allerdings kehrte Dave Farrell im Jahr 2000 wieder zu Linkin Park zurück. Es fehlte dann aber noch ein Sänger. Mit Chester Bennington fand die Gruppe 1999 schließlich ihre Stimme, die die Identität und den Sound von Linkin Park maßgeblich prägte. Endlich vollständig, suchte die Band auch nach dem passenden Namen. Von "Hybrid Theory" führte der Weg über "Lincoln Park" zu Linkin Park. Doch bis zum ersten Plattenvertrag mussten sie Ausdauer beweisen: Mehr als 40 Showcases spielten sie, aber immer wieder folgten Absagen. Die Begründung: Der Markt für Nu Metal-Bands sei gesättigt. Doch ihre Hartnäckigkeit wurde belohnt, als sie 1999 endlich von Warner Bros. unter Vertrag genommen wurden. Zum Nu Metal-Genre gehören neben Linkin Park Bands wie Limp Bizkit, Korn oder Papa Roach. Doch die Gruppe um Mike Shinoda und Chester Bennington schaffte es, sich deutlich von ihren Zeitgenossen abzugrenzen. Während viele Bands auf Wut, Sex und Protzen setzten, standen bei Linkin Park tiefe Emotionen, persönliche Konflikte und dunkle Erfahrungen im Vordergrund – oft geprägt von Chester Benningtons eigenen Erlebnissen und inneren Kämpfen. Wenn man den Sound von Linkin Park in einem Song zusammenfassen wollte, dann wäre es "Papercut". Die Band selbst bezeichnete ihn immer wieder als ihre musikalische Visitenkarte. Harte Gitarrenriffs treffen hier auf Mike Shinodas Rap-Parts, Chester Benningtons melodisches Schreien und die unverwechselbaren elektronischen Klangflächen von Joe Hahn. Das Vermächtnis von "Hybrid Theory" und Linkin Park liegt darin, dass sie eine ganze Generation geprägt und inspiriert haben. Mit ihrer damals bahnbrechenden Fusion aus Rap, Rock und elektronischen Elementen schufen sie 2000 einen Sound, der völlig neu war. Auch 25 Jahre später reißen die Songs noch immer mit, fesseln die Fans und lassen sich nicht oft genug hören. Das zeigt sich besonders in jüngster Zeit. 2024 kamen Linkin Park mit ihrer neuen Sängerin Emily Armstrong wieder zusammen. Im November 2024 veröffentlichten sie ihr aktuelles Album "From Zero" und gingen damit weltweit auf Tour. Die Tour läuft noch bis 2026 und war bisher schon ein voller Erfolg – Zehntausende Fans feierten weltweit ihre Rückkehr auf die Bühne. __________ Über diese Songs vom Album "Hybrid Theory" sprechen wir im Podcast (12:43) – "Papercut"(26:44) – "One Step Closer"(33:24) – "Crawling"(42:17) – "A Place For My Head"(44:47) – "In The End"__________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "Hybrid Theory" findet ihr hier: https://1.ard.de/linkin-park-hybrid-theory __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

In this episode, I sit down with Dan Cinotto, a veteran of the Midwest rock and Nu Metal scene. From his early days in the Omaha-based Downshift to his current work with Narcotic Self, Dan has lived the evolution of heavy music firsthand. He's also the co-host of the podcast We Were Loud Once @WeWereLoudOncePod alongside Jeff Geaghan — where the two dig deep into the Nu Metal movement from the perspective of musicians who were actually part of it. Together, Dan and I talk about that era's energy, its impact on the Midwest scene, and why the genre is seeing a massive resurgence in 2025. Raw, reflective, and full of insight from someone who lived it.
What happens when heavy riffs meet raw emotion? This week, Don and Dude dive into two landmark albums that launched Nu Metal from underground oddity to global phenomenon, blending hip-hop, metal, and vulnerability in ways rock had never witnessed.Born in the late '90s, Nu Metal fused bruising guitar riffs, hip-hop swagger, and electronic experimentation, connecting deeply with fans wrestling alienation, trauma, and identity. These albums didn't just soundtrack angst, they rewrote heavy music's rulebook.Korn – Korn (1994)Background: Debut record by Bakersfield's five-piece, produced by Ross Robinson at Indigo Ranch, captured mostly live for maximum intensity. Jonathan Davis's anguished vocals, Fieldy's clacking bass, and down-tuned Ibanez 7-string guitars created Nu Metal's foundation.Sound/Legacy: A claustrophobic nightmare of sludgy riffs, twisted nursery rhymes, and unfiltered emotion—Korn's first single “Blind” became a genre's birth cry, while “Daddy” redefined honesty in heavy music. The album's “bounce metal” sound, real-time aggression, and confrontational lyrics inspired an army of imitators.Key Tracks: “Blind,” “Shoots and Ladders,” “Faget,” “Clown,” “Helmet in the Bush,” “Daddy.”Linkin Park – Hybrid Theory (2000)Background: Los Angeles band, renamed and reimagined when Chester Bennington joined, fused emotional rock, rap, and DJ effects for a style that stormed radio, MTV, and the hearts of millions. Producer Don Gilmore's perfectionist approach resulted in a polished sonic punch.Sound/Legacy: Hybrid Theory delivered universally relatable lyrics—paranoia, frustration, failure—through a seamless interplay of Mike Shinoda's rap and Chester Bennington's soaring melodies. Every song packs arena-ready hooks and emotional weight, making the album a nu metal, rap-rock, and emo touchstone.Key Tracks: “Papercut,” “One Step Closer,” “Points of Authority,” “Crawling,” “In the End,” “A Place for My Head,” “Pushing Me Away.”Diggin'Dude:Mirador – Mirador (2025)Debut from Greta Van Fleet's Jake Kiszka and company, recorded live, blending rock, folk, blues, country themes of myth, hope, and identity.“Feels Like Gold”The Go-Go's – Beauty and the Beat (1981)Punk to new wave classic, hit singles “Our Lips Are Sealed” and “We Got the Beat.”Don:The Pink Stones – Thank the Lord… It's The Pink Stones (2025)Athens, GA cosmic Americana, rootsy punk, country, and psychedelic mix.“If I Can't Win (With You)”Andy Bell – Ten Crowns (2025)Erasure frontman's third solo, produced by Dave Audé, mixes Eurodisco, synth-pop, gospel; features Debbie Harry.“Hearts a Liar”What song helped you survive your angsty years?Connect on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and BlueSky @albumnerds or at albumsnerds.com.

Switzerland isn't known for its nu metal/metalcore bands, with thrash bands such as Coroner or extreme acts Celtic Frost more prominent. But all that changed in 2018 when Chaoseum, a newcomer to the scene, announced their arrival with their debut album First Step To Hell. The album took the musical landscape by surprise, in the process helping Chaoseum secure a US tour supporting Soulfly, and things just snowballed from there.Following a steady, yet upward trajectory, Chaoseum refined their sound on albums such as Second Life (2020) - which also welcomed new vocalist CK Smile - and The Third Eye (2022), constructing their music in such a way to incorporate more cinematic elements and soundscapes that have now become part of the band's signature sound. That evolution continued on their most recent album, Life 4 Sale, which was released this year on September 19. HEAVY recently sat down with CK Smile to find out more."This album has a completely different story," he measured, deliberating over speaking English, "more than the previous album, because I had to compose it completely alone. On the previous album, we were two composers, the ex-guitar player and I. When he quit the band, we had to find new members, and they had to learn every song from the previous album. It was huge work because we had to do some tours and many, many gigs so they didn't have time to form the composition, so I decided to do it alone. It's different, because I grew up in a nu metal era from 90s and early 2000s, and you can hear on this album it's a little bit simpler, but that's what I like. Plus, the lyrics are different too, because in the previous album, I was mixing part of a true story, mixing with something from my imagination for something more epic. This one is more real. More personal, and so that meant that it was hard for me to write that because I'm talking a lot about my past, and I have many episodes from my past that were very complicated to live. For some things, it's still a little bit complicated, but I deal with it."In the full interview, CK talks more about the writing and creative process for Life 4 Sale and how it impacted the finished result. He spoke about the darker nature on the previous album, The Third Eye and if that flowed onto this record, plus opening up more in his lyrics and how doing so was a difficult process.He spoke about the emotions and atmosphere present in Chaoseum's music and how difficult those features are to integrate into music, how Chaoseum have expanded their sound since he joined the band, how much growth the band have left in them musically and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

"Negative music for positive people," is how Joe Cotela describes the music for the band Ded. It's hard to argue with that, there is a positive message under all that aggression. Ded's third album is called Resent and it's availalbe now. Ded is on the road in the month of October with In This Moment, Dayseeker and The Funeral Portrait. Oh and Joe doesn't concert photography now. Yeah there's a lot to catch up with Joe Cotela, lead singer of the band Ded.

This week, Ben and Rob slam right into The Fanatic (2019), the bizarre thriller directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and starring John Travolta and Devon Sawa. It's a fever dream of celebrity obsession, questionable choices, and Nu-Metal energy that has us all asking: why was this film even made?What on earth were Travolta and Sawa thinking? Is The Fanatic based on a true story, or just Fred Durst's wild imagination? And the real kicker—is it good, bad, or that sweet spot of so-bad-it's-good? Maybe it even succeeds on its own bonkers B-movie terms.The lads dig into why this film is amazing (yes, amazing), what it really means beneath the awkward line deliveries and Limp Bizkit Easter eggs, and whether The Fanatic is destined to become the next funnybad cult classic for nu-metal survivors everywhere.PLUS!

Sony is a many-tendrilled corporation, which can be both a blessing and a curse. But in fully leveraging all that the wider company does well, it seems they're closer than ever to achieving the "One Sony" goal from years and decades past. Enter Physint (sometimes typed PHYSINT, for some reason), a Hideo Kojima-led project revealed last year as a mysterious cross-pollination between PlayStation and Sony Pictures, one that appears to go into a distinctly Metal Gear Solid-like direction. With Death Stranding 2 now in the past, Kojima is confirmed to be working on Physint itself, presumably for PlayStation 6, which raises some questions, like: What will the game be like? When will it come out? Will it be a commercial success? We know so little about it, and yet, that's never stopped us before, so why start now? Plus: Arrowhead rather blatantly teases a Helldivers 2/Halo crossover, Strauss Zelnick expresses confidence in GTA6's Spring '26 release window and promises that BioShock 4 will indeed launch one day, rumors percolate about upcoming Resident Evil remakes, Crimson Desert gets delayed, PUBG is the next game to reveal it's leaving PlayStation 4 behind, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! What's the best stoner game? Are people overreacting to recent PlayStation executives' chatter about moving away from hardware? Is Danganronpa actually bad? Did we actually (and unintentionally) get someone fired from their job? Download Cash App Today: https://capl.onelink.me/vFut/ty57yree #CashAppPod.
