Send us Fan MailJesse Leach of Killswitch Engage joined the Vulgar Display of Podcast for a conversation covering touring economics, mental health advocacy, vocal health, and the philosophy that has kept Killswitch Engage one of metal's most respected bands for over two decades.Jesse opened up about how the post-pandemic music industry has changed touring for the band, explaining why Killswitch Engage has become far more selective with live dates, prioritizing financial sustainability and personal well-being over nonstop touring schedules.The conversation also dives deep into mental health, particularly men's mental health, as Jesse passionately discusses the importance of speaking up, seeking help, and breaking the stigma surrounding emotional struggles. He emphasizes that vulnerability is not weakness and shares why advocacy remains such an important part of his life both on and off the stage.Jesse also reflects on the vocal surgery he underwent in 2018 and how it completely transformed his singing technique and long-term vocal health, ultimately allowing him to perform stronger and more consistently than ever before.Beyond the music, Jesse discusses the brotherhood within the metal community and how Killswitch Engage has always viewed heavy music as a family rather than a competition. He talks about supporting younger bands, encouraging community, and helping keep the scene healthy for future generations.The episode also highlights Killswitch Engage's upcoming appearance at Milwaukee Metal Fest alongside Suicidal Tendencies, Machine Head, Power Trip, and many more. Jesse shares his excitement for the festival, praises Jamey Jasta for revitalizing the iconic event, and talks about the unique atmosphere and history surrounding the festival grounds.Subscribe to the Vulgar Display of Podcast for more conversations with the biggest names in heavy music, touring culture, and beyond.#KillswitchEngage #JesseLeach #Metalcore #MilwaukeeMetalFest #VulgarDisplayOfPodcast #MentalHealth #HeavyMetal #MachineHead #SuicidalTendencies #PowerTripwww.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.

Send us Fan MailThe Heavy Music Collective is stepping up for artists, and at the same time, Converge is pushing forward creatively with yet another powerful release. In this episode, we connect with Jeff Price (The Heavy Music Collective) and Ben Koller of Converge to break down both the business and the art shaping heavy music in 2026.Converge has officially announced their second full-length album of the year, Hum of Hurt, arriving June 5, 2026 via Deathwish Inc. and Epitaph Records. The band also dropped the intense and emotionally charged title track, diving deep into the concept of “The Hum” — a haunting idea imagined as the collective frequency of human suffering.Vocalist Jacob Bannon describes the album as a raw and exposed reflection of the human condition, distinct from its 2026 predecessor Love Is Not Enough. While that record leaned more metal, Hum of Hurt explores a more emotional hardcore direction, delivering one of the most dynamic and vulnerable releases in Converge's career.Recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City Studios, the album also features visually striking artwork created in collaboration with Thomas Hooper, blending themes of chaos, elemental forces, and internal struggle.At the same time, Ben Koller is helping lead a major shift in the music industry with the launch of the Heavy Music Collective — a new initiative alongside Jeff Price designed to help artists recover lost streaming royalties and better understand how they get paid.Too often, songwriters miss out on what's known as “black box” royalties — unclaimed money from platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube. The Heavy Music Collective works directly with these platforms to track down and recover those earnings while also educating artists on how to protect their rights moving forward.Powered by Word Collections, the initiative represents a wide range of heavy artists and is built to support the entire spectrum of the genre — from hardcore and metalcore to doom, sludge, and beyond.If you're a fan of heavy music, an independent artist, or someone trying to understand the realities of today's music business — this is a must-watch.Subscribe for more conversations with the artists and industry voices shaping the future of music.#Converge #BenKoller #HeavyMusicCollective #HumOfHurt #Metal #Hardcore #MusicIndustry #StreamingRoyalties #JeffPrice #TheBarnMediawww.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.

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.

Send us a textIf you're looking for a sonic palette cleanser from the mundane, Venamoris' new album To Cross or To Burn is the aural experience you didn't know you needed. Out now via Ipecac Recordings, the album is a seductive, shadowy, and soul-baring effort from the duo of Paula and Dave Lombardo. Yes, that Dave Lombardo—drum god behind Slayer, Mr. Bungle, Misfits, Dead Cross and countless other boundary-pushing projects. But this isn't thrash, metal, or hardcore. Instead, it's something far more intimate and atmospheric—part gothic lullaby, part cinematic fever dream, and entirely its own thing.Think: a darker, stranger Portishead raised on vintage synthesizers and heartbreak. And you're only halfway there.Venamoris, a name derived from the Latin vena amoris ("vein of love"), is a reflection of the real-life partnership between Dave and Paula Lombardo. The musical bond they've cultivated runs just as deep. Paula's roots include everything from backing up Las Vegas legends like Wayne Newton to chasing a singer-songwriter dream in Nashville. With this project, she brings a magnetic presence—equal parts elegance and eerie introspection—on vocals, piano, and synths. Every lyric feels lived-in; every melody, emotionally raw.Engineered and produced by Dave Lombardo, mixed by David A. Lombardo, and mastered by the acclaimed Golden Mastering team, To Cross or To Burn shimmers with sonic depth. Every note and nuance is deliberate, yet full of danger. The Lombardos handle all instrumentation themselves, with Paula on vocals and synths and Dave handling drums, guitars, and more.The album also features contributions from a formidable group of guest musicians, including:Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk) – contrabass on “Stay With Me”Ra Diaz (Suicidal Tendencies, KORN) – bass on “Stain of Pain”Alex Skolnick (Testament) – guitar on “Stain of Pain” and “Burnt Paper”Gary Holt (Slayer, Exodus) – guitar on “Animal Magnetism”Each guest adds a unique brushstroke to the darkly emotional soundscape, enhancing but never overshadowing the central force: Paula's haunting voice and poetic songwriting.The album's opener, “Stay With Me,” is a cinematic dive into surrealist romance—starting in lo-fi crackle and ending in full digital immersion. "Holding On to Nothing" flexes Paula's lyrical teeth as she dissects betrayal with Ben Folds-style piano wrapped in Sabbath-inspired gloom.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.

This special edition featured a powerhouse panel of guest hosts from Vulgar Display of Podcast, The Tippy Jo Show, and Park Hills Underground Radio, bringing together voices from across the Barn Podcast Network for a rare and in-depth conversation.Dan opened up about the band's current creative grind, revealing they're back in the studio in California working on new material. Fans can expect the same emotionally charged energy, explosive riffs, and signature vocals that have made Story of the Year a pillar of post-hardcore for over two decades.The excitement doesn't stop there—Story of the Year is gearing up for a massive hometown throwdown at the Pig & Whiskey Festival in St. Louis on May 11th, delivering a hometown set that promises nostalgia and high-octane performances. The festival continues their legacy of blending their deep-rooted Missouri pride with worldwide appeal.Beyond the local stage, the band is set to make waves at some of the year's biggest festivals, including Louder Than Life, When We Were Young, and even a Warped Tour stop in Orlando this November, reuniting with fans and longtime scene supporters in a whirlwind of passion and nostalgia.Still riding the momentum from the 20th anniversary of Page Avenue—an album that redefined early 2000s alt-rock and post-hardcore—Story of the Year continues to innovate. Their recent dubstep remix of “Can't Slow Down” with Kayzo proves the band's fearless experimentation and connection to modern sounds, blurring genre lines while staying true to their roots.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.

Send us a text In a rare convergence of literature and hardcore ethos, The Vulgar Display of Podcast recently welcomed Karl Buechner of Earth Crisis, Freya, and Apocalypse Tribe and along with co-authors Keith Ward and Jeremy Mueller, to discuss their debut novel, The Unraveling: The Council of Crows. This middle-grade fantasy adventure is more than just a story—it's a decade-long project that evolved from a short story into a fully realized trilogy. The book drops May 5, 2025, with a limited hardcover edition available on Earth Day (April 22) via 3rd World Studios. The Council of Crows is crafted with the heart of three lifelong creatives who've spent over ten years meeting weekly to bring this story to life. It weaves humor, adventure, and timeless themes of animal rights and environmentalism into an engaging narrative tailored for young readers aged 8-12.“This book is a love letter to Earth,” said Beechner during the interview. “It reflects who we are—not just as artists, but as people. It's dedicated to the loved ones we've lost, and it's a call for compassion, kindness, and change.”The trio's “three-tier process” of writing involved brainstorming, independent drafting, and collective refinement, allowing each voice to shine through while delivering a unified message. Though the writing process spanned years, the team agrees the hardest part was knowing when it was “done.”They describe the book as the first in a three-part series, with the next two entries planned over the next three years. And while the story stands strong on its own, it's also deeply personal—an expression of grief, hope, and growth.For environmental activists, or those looking for impactful stories for the next generation, The Unraveling: The Council of Crows promises to be a powerful bridge between hardcore legacy and hopeful storytelling.Stay tuned. The crows are gathering.Karl also touched on Earth Crisis' upcoming tour with Judge and Integrity, hitting both coasts later this year. The band will also travel to England and Western Europe, while Karl's other project, Freya, embarks on an Eastern European tour.Following the well-received Fight as One album, the band continues to uphold its tradition of challenging norms and promoting alternative perspectives. The podcast reflects on the band's enduring legacy and their ability to bridge music, message, and now literature.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.

Send us a textAs the metalcore world continues to thrive on its past and push forward into new territory, few bands walk that line more masterfully than August Burns Red. The Grammy-nominated heavyweights recently made a powerful appearance on The Barn's very own Vulgar Display of Podcast, where drummer Matt Greiner joined the conversation to dive into the band's legacy, relentless touring schedule, and their latest massive undertaking — a full re-recording of their iconic debut Thrill Seeker.And as fate would have it, the timing couldn't be better. ABR is set to join Trivium and Bullet For My Valentine on The Poisoned Ascendancy Tour 2025, which hits The Factory STL in St. Louis on Saturday, April 19. The tour celebrates the 20th anniversary of both Ascendancy and The Poison, with each band performing their breakout records in full. With Bleed From Within also on the bill, it's a stacked night of explosive metal — and ABR is bringing the heat.But the fire doesn't stop on stage. The band is marking 20 years of Thrill Seeker with a complete re-recording of the album, this time featuring longtime frontman Jake Luhrs on vocals — a longtime dream finally realized. The anniversary edition drops January 24 via ABR Records, packed with upgraded production from Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland, and features guest spots from Killswitch Engage's Adam Dutkiewicz and former ABR vocalist Josh McManness. Plus, the bonus track “Pride & Humility” gets a proper reimagining. Known for their tight musicianship, complex structures, and emotionally rich themes, August Burns Red has carved out a space uniquely their own — what Kerrang! once described as "thrillingly empathetic." Whether tearing up stages across the globe with Parkway Drive and Bring Me the Horizon, or dominating headlining tours celebrating albums like Constellations and Leveler, ABR has proven time and time again that they're built to last.
Send us a textKansas City-based post-metal duo Idle Heirs, featuring Coalesce frontman Sean Ingram and producer/musician Josh Barber, have announced the release of their debut album, Life Is Violence, dropping April 11th, 2025. The album will be celebrated with a record release show the same evening at Warehouse on Broadway in Kansas City, MO, alongside metal heavyweights Norma Jean.Born from necessity and personal upheaval, Life Is Violence is a searing, emotionally charged collection of eight tracks written and recorded in complete creative isolation at Ocean Sound Studio in Norway. The collaboration between Ingram and Barber—longtime friends and kindred spirits—came to fruition after years of false starts, catalyzed by Barber's self-imposed writing retreat in the Pacific Northwest. Surrounded by storms and solitude, he created the sonic foundation for what would become Idle Heirs.The band recently appeared on The Vulgar Display of Podcast, part of The Barn Podcast Network, in which Ingram and Barber discussed their intense creative process, the album's introspective themes of grief, generational trauma, and paternal legacy, and why they originally never intended for these songs to be shared publicly.Singles like Dead Ringer and Pillow Talk give a glimpse into the band's dynamic range—melding haunting atmosphere, crushing weight, and a raw vocal performance that sees Ingram pushing into new territory far beyond his hardcore roots.With Life Is Violence, Idle Heirs offer more than an album—they deliver a moment of vulnerability and defiance, shaped by isolation, purpose, and love.Catch Idle Heirs live on April 11 at Warehouse on Broadway for their official album release show.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.

Send us a textNearly thirty-five years into their unrelenting career, San Diego's sludge metal veterans -(16)- return with Guides For The Misguided, a crushing new album set for release on February 7th via Relapse Records. Frontman Bobby Ferry, who now takes on lead vocal and rhythm guitar duties, describes the album as a natural progression following Into Dust. “It's all about harnessing creative momentum when it strikes,” Ferry states. “Thankfully, we're still driven to write and perform even after all these years.”Since their last full-length, the band has undergone a lineup shift, losing a singer and bringing in Alex Shuster on lead guitar and production duties. This evolution has also influenced their lyrical themes, which now tackle broader conflicts, including religious hypocrisy and psychological trauma. Tracks like “Blood Atonement Blues” explore the dark history of Ervil LeBaron, while “Proudly Damned” delves into the cyclical nature of addiction, using a witch-like character to represent the seductive and destructive force of opiates.Musically, -(16)- continues to craft punishing riffs with raw intensity, blending elements of noise, classic rock, hardcore, doom metal, and thrash. “We are well aware we are not reinventing the wheel but lovingly fashioning something from us and basically for us,” Ferry adds. Tracks like “Proudly Damned” showcase the band's signature fusion of heaviness and storytelling, with seething vocals, apocalyptic guitar tones, and thunderous drumming from Dion Thurman.Closing with the ominously titled “Kick Out The Chair,” Guides For The Misguided stands as a testament to -(16)-'s staying power. Despite the bleak road ahead, their trajectory remains unwavering, solidifying their legacy as one of North America's most enduring heavy acts.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.

Known for his unpredictable stage presence and raw vocal intensity, Martel did not hold back in a conversation that was as engaging as Deadly Apples' electrifying live performances.Throughout the discussion, Martel reflected on Deadly Apples' reputation for bringing danger and unpredictability back to rock music—a stark contrast to what he describes as an increasingly “safe and bland” scene. He shared stories from the band's intense live performances, which often see him diving into crowds and immersing himself completely in the energy of the audience.Martel delved deep into the creative process behind DISTRESS, Deadly Apples' latest full-length album. Produced by drummer and composer Antoine Lamothe, the album pushes the band's signature sound to its extremes—darker, heavier, yet more accessible than ever. With a lineup of rock heavyweights contributing to the project, including Nine Inch Nails alumni Danny Lohner and Filter's Richard Patrick, DISTRESS is already shaping up to be one of the band's most defining works.“Having guys like Richard Patrick and Danny Lohner involved was huge for us,” Martel said. “They bring an energy that aligns perfectly with our vision. This record is cinematic, chaotic, and deeply personal.”With Deadly Apples having toured alongside some of the biggest names in rock and metal—Rob Zombie, Korn, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, and Rammstein—Martel shared what it was like to be on the road with such legendary acts. He discussed the invaluable lessons learned and the stark differences in rock audiences across the globe, from the wild crowds in South America to the passionate fans in Japan and Europe.As DISTRESS gears up for its highly anticipated release, Martel teased upcoming tour plans, more collaborations, and an explosive new music video for their latest single, “Volatile.” With their signature unpredictability, fans can expect nothing short of chaos and intensity.For those who missed Alex Martel's appearance on the Vulgar Display of Podcast, the episode is now available on all major streaming platforms. If his interview was any indication, Deadly Apples is ready to make a major impact once again—louder, darker, and more volatile than ever.http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.

Send us a textValletta's fusion of blackened arena rock and melancholic grunge n' roll creates a sound that defies easy classification. Their upcoming debut album Summer promises to dismantle metal conventions with its raw, electrifying energy, pushing the genre into new, uncharted territories.Comprised of seasoned musicians, Valletta's lineup includes drummer Justin Valletta and bassist/backing vocalist Donald Boyd (both from Mo'ynoq), guitarist/lead vocalist Keenan Carroll (Lord Almighty, ex-Barishi), and guitarist/backing vocalist Will Goodyear (Hopesfall, Prayer for Cleansing, ex-Between The Buried and Me). With their diverse musical backgrounds, each member brings something unique to the table, culminating in a sound that's fresh, innovative, and unrelentingly powerful.The band's debut full-length Summer promises to take their musicianship to the next level. Featuring 12 tracks, the album is built on the foundation of heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and a dynamic exploration of contrasts—elements that make Valletta's sound so distinctive.In discussing the creative process behind Summer, the band offered insight into the album's thematic exploration of contrasts:“The new album has been a real exploration in tearing down walls that we had previously built up over the years. Each of us comes from different musical backgrounds, and there's been a strong sense of letting go and allowing the music to unfold, regardless of how uncomfortable it may be. That's been the beauty of this journey we've started together, and it's been a great ride so far!During the writing process, a constant theme that emerged was the idea of duality. From heavier, grimier riffs to beautiful, stoic melodies. From slower, muddy depths to faster, anthemic leads. From frozen wastelands to summer nights, we've been on a journey to explore our limitations musically and emotionally. Spin that shit up!”Summer will be available on October 4 via Forcefield Records in CD, vinyl, and digital formats, delivering a sonic experience that's sure to leave a lasting impact.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.

Send us a textMartin Mendez, an influential bassist in the world of progressive metal, is best known for his work with the Swedish band Opeth and his solo project, White Stones. Born on April 6, 1978, in Montevideo, Uruguay, Mendez has carved out a distinct niche for himself in the metal scene through his innovative playing style and deep understanding of musical dynamics.Mendez joined Opeth in 1997, just before the recording of their third album, "My Arms, Your Hearse." His addition to the band marked a significant turning point, contributing to the evolution of Opeth's sound. Known for his technical proficiency and melodic sensibility, Mendez's bass lines often serve as the backbone of Opeth's complex compositions. His ability to blend seamlessly with the intricate guitar work of Mikael Åkerfeldt and the rest of the band has been crucial in defining the band's unique sound, which blends elements of death metal, progressive rock, and folk music.Throughout his tenure with Opeth, Mendez has been part of many critically acclaimed albums, including "Blackwater Park" (2001), "Ghost Reveries" (2005), and "Watershed" (2008). His contributions have not only been limited to his performance but also his creative input, helping to shape the band's musical direction. http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.
