ExplicitJoel Violette on WOODS OF YPRES, David Gold, and 'Woods 5' | I love 'Grey Skies & Electric Light'. It was my favorite album as of the original interview on 2012Mar29, and is still frontrunner six weeks later. Death always weighs heavy with Woods of Ypres, and the loss of founder David Gold brings a bitter denouement, as the music still rings sweet stabs every time. Much of this perfection was honed because of Joel Violette himself, and we speak at length about the development of 'Woods 5', straighten out confusion behind the various release dates and track listings, explore many memories of David (including his myriad looks through the years), and touch on Joel's other project, Thrawsunblat, which he describes as "raw black melodic folk metal with a Atlantic Canadian twist". We bookend with some of the new album—beginning with "Lightning and Snow" and concluding with "Kiss My Ashes Goodbye". | 5/11/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitCATTLE DECAPITATION Live & Long Chat with Travis Ryan on 'Mind Over Metal' | We start with "The Carbon Stampede" and relentlessly charge forward! I rung up Travis Ryan and had a pretty standard set of questions—new album evolution, vocal experiments, tour stuff—but threw some curveballs. Misanthropic and eco-terrorizing though they may be, Travis was taken aback when I asked him about his own place in the world. Hear these answers, and SO much more on Cattle Decapitation, plus a little Murder Construct, and a touch of Soulfly as well. | 4/27/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitAlex Webster of CANNIBAL CORPSE Live on 'Mind Over Metal' | The mighty bassist and co-founder of the legendary death metal masters CANNIBAL CORPSE called in live during the 'Mind Over Metal' broadcast, and it was a bloody good time! We discuss their gory origins and how they reflect the band now; we skid into "final girl" theory while discussing favorite horror films; with the passing of 3/14 "Pi Day", we hit on the movie 'π' and unlikely inspiration; also, we drop insight on the newly-released numbers regarding album sales, as lifted from Decibal #90 (whose 'Zombie Issue' cover is graced by a certain maniacal "Corpsegrinder"). Of course, the new album 'Torture' is examined as well, plus we play it behind our discussion, and listen for the song "Crucifier Avenged" in full, after our talk! | 3/16/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitMUSICAL MANSLAUGHTER - First Live Interview on 'Mind Over Metal' | Making their radio debut, Musical Manslaughter prove they have the 'Audacity' of hopelessness, with a crushing claustrophobic air. We blast the tunes "Automaton", "You're Just a Hole", and "Numb" in full, plus play most of the new album while we talk. It's Vermont homegrown self-produced death groove—not premeditated, but certainly voluntary. | 2/24/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitHeavy Metal Halloween II | We did it before and we will do it again! That's right—one of our most popular podcasts returns for a second year. Thanks again to Sam Fath and Castle Bravo Productions, both for putting this together and graciously accepting my many music suggestions, even in the few hours before broadcast. This time around, we have tales of an insatiable cheerleader in "The Consumption", a bizarre circus sideshow in "Carnival Macabre", and the zombie apocalypse saga continues this year with "Outpost 7". (BONUS: with last year's "So It Begins" for full context!) And of course, twisted tunes by Dr. Steel, Impaled, Exhumed, Stolen Babies, Diablo Swing Orchestra, uneXpect, Misfits, Church of Misery, Type O Negative, Reckoner, Black Breath, and Mastodon! | 10/31/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitBLACK COBRA Interview with Jason Landrian | Now with Jason Landrian interviewed, BLACK COBRA is officially the first band completely interviewed by Mind over Metal. Sure, there's only two dudes in the band… but whatever, it's done. And their incredible new album 'Invernal' is, too! Hear about recording with Kurt Ballou this latest time around; the influence from touring with bands like High on Fire and The Sword; Jason's reaction to comparing their song "Abyss" with "Wishlist" by Pearl Jam; and finally—favorite action sequence from a movie! | 10/28/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitJulien of GLORIOR BELLI Envelops 'Mind over Metal' in Darkness | So it's blackened Southern bluesy sludge by a bunch of French dudes? I know everyone lately opens with similar description, but if you've heard Glorior Belli, the badassery is obvious. After a full opening of "Dark Gnosis" from 'The Great Southern Darkness' and a bad joke from me, we get FULL-ON deep regarding their obscure name and origins, the underlying thread between Scandinavia and the Mississippi Delta, and how Julien channels his beliefs through the music. Then, just to reel it back a bit… questions about booze. | 10/7/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitLive Interview with Jon Necromancer of BONES by MetalMattLongo on 'Mind over Metal' | First and foremost, I LOVE BONES. There is no hyperbole when I talk about multiple spin sessions, almost every time. This music is lethal, infectious as myeloma, and already has a reserved slot on my Best of 2011 list. If your knowledge was spotty like mine, listen to their origins with previous band Usurper, and details on their recording style with producer Sanford Parker. Hear complete sneak previews of "March of the Dead" from their eponymous debut (which continues behind our conversation) and "Lonely Death" to conclude. Their influences reach from Motörhead (I clearly thought; he didn't realize) to fellow Chicagoans like Master, and just how many different substances do they ingest during "Slowburn" again? | 8/26/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitVOIVOD's Michel "Away" Langevin Interviewed by Willie Strausser LIVE on 'Mind over Metal' | Hear why Michel loves "War and Pain" and he even sets Wikipedia straight on some facts. Willie also inquires about the Montréal metal scene, thoughts on Pink Floyd, fond memories of Iron Maiden, the 'family' feel of Voivod and their near three-decade evolution, with insight into the future of this incomparable band. And for the first time, Away gets asked to pick a favorite song to close out the talk! | 8/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitWITTR's Aaron Weaver LIVE Interview with Willie Strausser on 'Mind over Metal' | Wolves in the Throne Room are first-rate third-wave black metal. Just as Scandinavia was itself intrinsic to the genre's original sounds, the Pacific Northwest U.S. gives spirit to these American luminaries. Listen as Willie Strausser asks Aaron Weaver about the band's philosophies, its inner workings, relationship to Southern Lord, the non-existant sibling rivalry with his brother/guitarist/vocalist, and a scoop on their latest effort — "Celestial Lineage" — which concludes the trilogy began by "Two Hunters" and followed by "Black Cascade". Plus, preliminary details on the 9/9 outdoor performance in Northfield, VT! | 8/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitDORO PESCH Live Interview with MetalMattLongo on 'Mind Over Metal' | Gracious, humble, and an absolute joy to interview, Ms. Doro Pesch called in to the live broadcast and closed out the show. She adores her fans, loves being a lifelong metalhead, and… often got nervous to the point of sickness back in the day — seriously?! Hear about all that and more from the German siren, who has rocked the world for nearly 30 years. | 7/29/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitSVARTSOT Mainman Cris Frederiksen Descends Upon 'Mind over Metal' LIVE | We open with a greeting and a teaser, as "Dødedansen" erupts into your ears. After a minute or two of fierce folk metal, MetalMattLongo and Cris cross paths (see what I did theeeeeehhh… nevermind). Hear about the incredible departure of all band members, their triumphant reformation with new dudes, and their heaviest, best-crafted album to date: 'Maledictus Eris'. Also, Cris might be a supervillain (but denies it… like a supervillain totally would). | 7/15/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitVIKA YERMOLYEVA Piano Decimation Live at Nectar's | If VIKA is not yet in your vocabulary, allow me to etch into your brain. She plays innovative, catchy covers of classic rock and metal tunes—by herself, without vocals, using only a keyboard. Her incredible setlist includes: "Battery", "Master of Puppets" and "Nothing Else Matters" (Metallica); "Stairway to Heaven" (Led Zeppelin); "Nutshell" (Alice in Chains); "Toxicity" (System of a Down); "Raining Blood" (Slayer); "Ace of Spades" (Motorhead); plus more! | 7/11/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitPESTILENCE Interview with Patrick Mameli | PESTILENCE was one of few bands who successfully merged jazzy structures into heavy music, back in the 1990s. Most of the best were from Florida (DEATH, ATHEIST, CYNIC) but PESTILENCE emerged from The Netherlands and have endured as forefathers—and still torchbearers—of progressive, technical death metal. I'm pleased to welcome founder and frontman Patrick Mameli here on 'Mind over Metal'. | 7/1/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitUNEARTH's Trevor Phipps Live on 'Mind over Metal' with MetalMattLongo | It had been well over a year since I spoke with a band birthed from the '90s New England metal scene. It was a pleasure to welcome Trevor Phipps, the vocalist of Unearth, who some—like me, for example—argue is the heaviest among the "Big 4 of Massachusetts Metalcore". We don't really talk about that, but do discuss the return of clean vocals, the importance of melody, over-categorizations in metal, the notion of "false destiny", his take on the breakdown, and of course, their fifth album, 'Darkness in the Light'. | 6/17/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

21 |
ExplicitBENEDICTUM Live Interview w/ Veronica Freeman on 'Mind over Metal' with MetalMattLongo | I am proud to introduce the first woman interviewed for Mind over Metal: the inimitable Veronica Freeman of Benedictum! The latest monster from the trad metal upstarts is "Dominion"—their third full-length overall and first for Frontiers Records. We talk about the label switch, females in heavy music, and uprooting from San Diego to Phoenix with her husband and bandmate for their other love: motorcycles. Btw, I can't recall the last time I laughed this hard, so consistently, and had this much of an easygoing good time. In 38 minutes, we cover a lot of ground, so listen up for more than I let on! | 6/3/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitSOURVEIN Live Interview with T-Roy with MetalMattLongo on 'Mind over Metal' | The second interview conducted on 2011May20 (USX's Nate Hall was first)—T-Roy from SOURVEIN. He is the last original member of the long-running North Carolina sludge merchants, who unleash "Black Fangs"—their third full-length—in June 2011. Hear how things seem to work in threes for them, dig the third Robert Johnson reference in as many recent interviews (it IS his 100-year birthday as of May 08), and enjoy some tasty cuts from their new album. | 5/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

23 |
ExplicitUSX Live Interview with Nate Hall by MetalMattLongo on 'Mind over Metal' | Some seven months after we spoke about "Run Thick in the Night" (and alluded to this album I'm about to speak of), Nate Hall and I catch up on "The Valley Path"—the 39-minute, single track opus by USX. We talk about how they develop music of this magnitude, who they admire and were influenced by (especially regarding expansive songs), European vs. American touring, and also where those insect sounds on the new album come from. You get to here most of it here, but honestly, why wouldn't you enjoy this offering from Neurot Recordings unfiltered and unfettered? Get it now! | 5/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

24 |
ExplicitACROSS TUNDRAS Live Interview with MetalMattLongo on 'Mind over Metal' | Both Tanner Olson and "Big Jim" Matt Shively are on the horn for this one. We kinda make fun of their names—with "Full House" in the former, and how'd-you-get-the-nickname in the latter—before getting into the new Across Tundras album "Sage" (available on Neurot Recordings). I never heard of them before this, so we talk about their origins and formation, first and foremost. But as we explore their sounds, we touch on the modern allure of classic Western themes (such as steampunk and "Firefly"), and then my favorite part: unearthing the dark parallels between Metal and Bluegrass. And not only do you get 36 minutes of interview, it's also bookended with album opener "In the Name of the River Grand" and mighty instrumental closer "Shunta Sapa". | 5/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitGIGAN Mastermind Eric Hersemann Live on 'Mind over Metal' with MetalMattLongo | Who—or what—is GIGAN? Turns out they have less to do with kaiju (though they're still fans) and more to do with transcendental existence. Go figure. Listen to this interview with GIGAN founder Eric Hersemann and uncover the mysteries behind the album 'Quasi-Hallucinogenic Sonic Landscapes', while getting a taste of the album before its Willowtip Records release on 2011Jun07. We start with most of "Mountains Perched Like Beasts Awaiting the Attack", then talk for ~25 minutes about everything from love for "Calvin and Hobbes" to an illuminating track-by-track breakdown, and conclude with "Vespelmadeen Terror". Enter all those who still want Metal that intrigues and inspires, GIGAN is oddly familiar in an otherworldly kinda way—anomalous music on a homogeneous landscape. | 5/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

26 |
ExplicitANAAL NATHRAKH Live Interview with David Hunt (V.I.T.R.I.O.L.) | Still another first on the 'Mind Over Metal' broadcast, as I attempt to use Earsplit Compound's calling card to internationally dial the UK for this interview with the Anaal Nathrakh frontman. After only five or six tries, it actually happened, and we got to discuss their f*****g ridiculously awesome new album "Passion". The term "avant-garde" scarcely does their music justice, as they push their blackened boundaries ever further. Hear how they structure this madness, deeper underlying meanings of their recent material, and what happens when bands submit albums to labels for distribution. | 4/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

27 |
ExplicitWOODS OF YPRES Live Interview with David Gold by MetalMattLongo | Woods of Ypres founder and frontman David Gold called in LIVE to the 'Mind over Metal' broadcast. I gotta give big ups to my boy Ralph over at Skateboard Marketing, both for setting this up and reminding me it was happening. Though I had heard "Woods IV: The Green Album" and played it live on my show—not gonna lie—I basically spaced on this. So these 25 minutes are 100% off-the-cuff, with about 15 minutes of actual prep time (but sometimes those are the most fun). Hear about Woods of Ypres' evolution into funeral doom, his teaching in Kuwait and the Metal environment there, The Northern Ontario Black Metal Preservation Society, and much more! | 4/8/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
28 |
ExplicitKVELERTAK Interview with Erlend Hjelvik by MetalMattLongo | It has been a tumultuous few years for Kvelertak, as they jelled into a proper band, found a label, released their self-titled debut, and toured like marauding madmen in support. Hear about commonalities with recent tourmates, details on the robbery that almost kept them from doing those tours, his black metal project Djevel, singing/recording in Norwegian, and his offer to let me punch him in the face should they ever use predominantly English lyrics. | 4/6/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitAMON AMARTH Interview with Olavi Mikkonen by MetalMattLongo | A busted tire, daylight saving, and technical difficulties did not prevent this interview from happening! MetalMattLongo and Olavi Mikkonen talk about overcoming adversity, attitudes toward folk metal, and lots on the new album, "Surtur Rising"—including the artwork and cover songs by Kiss, Accept, and System of a Down. Listen for details on their 'Evening with Amon Amarth' 2011 American tour, and the secrets to their success that crop up throughout. | 3/14/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitDylan Carlson from EARTH interviewed by MetalMattLongo | Functioning as a channel, the dubiousness of music ownership, Gillian-era Black Sabbath, and a whole lot about Sunn Amplifiers! Technically, third time's a charm here. The first time, the Drone master was scheduled live and we didn't get him (you'll hear about this); the second time, the edit from the phone interview had bad levels and the wrong music (you hopefully missed this). But here, as promised, is the well-leveled, properly-backed interview, which even extends for a few minutes into the track "Hell's Winter"—if you wanna hear these four songs without us talking over it, plus the mammoth 22-minute title track, seek "Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light 1" on Southern Lord. | 2/16/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitHAVOK's David Sanchez LIVE on 'Mind Over Metal' | Months before the release of "Time is Up"—the band's sophomore set—HAVOK founder/frontman David Sanchez joined us on 'Mind Over Metal'. We discuss their artwork (new and old), his familiarity (or lack thereof) with the closely-titled LIVING COLOUR album; two-faced music critics (plus David's lashout song); and just why in the hell they've had to endure so many lineup changes. You can hear much of their forthcoming record before, during, and after the interview itself, so listen up. Not to mention that you learn which celebrity(-ies) you should never, ever confuse him with. | 1/30/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitLeon del Muerte Grinds with MetalMattLongo | Ewww, not THAT kind of grind! Nah, but we talk about Murder Construct—his near-decade-long project that has just seen the light of day via Relapse—as well as his involvement with bands like Intronaut, Impaled, and the newly reformed Exhumed. Also hear about how he first met Danny Walker, and how they perfectly click (despite a different dynamic with each band). And just why in the hell was there only a 7-track EP after 10 years?

ExplicitInterview with ATHEIST's Steve Flynn | Shortly after releasing one the best albums of 2010, we got the opportunity to speak with one of the men behind Atheist. The resurrected Floridians have picked up right where they left off in the 90s with the massive "Jupiter". This interview was originally recorded via phone, but I decided to broadcast it during my Xmas Eve special on 'Mind Over Metal' (timely, yeah?). Considering the band's subject matter, talk of religion is unavoidable (and frankly, lots of fun), but we keep it lively and interesting while delving into the history of Atheist and how it ties together with recent material. You can also hear some of those very tunes behind our chat, in case you want a sampling, and get an update on their quest for a permanent bassist. | 12/24/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitVinny Appice Live Interview on Mind Over Metal | Recorded live 2010Dec10, Vinny and I talk about his early meetings with John Lennon at Record Plant Studios, how he was introduced to Ronnie James Dio, and his present work with the best thing to happen to Black Sabbath in years: Heaven & Hell (including the future that can no longer be). Plus, listen for a live version of "Bible Black" from the incredible 'Neon Nights: 30 Years of Heaven & Hell' after! | 12/16/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitJimmy Bower Interviewed by Mind Over Metal | Originally recorded 2010Nov17, MetalMattLongo speaks with Jimmy Bower! He's had a long career in NOLA sludge, as the guitarist for EyeHateGod, drummer for Down, and more. We discuss his various projects over the years, his playing style, 'Bower Power', outlaw music, first experiences with Black Sabbath, and a promising future after a generation of hard work. | 11/29/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitLive Samoth Interview on 'Mind Over Metal' | Originally broadcast 2010Nov12, Samoth called in live to 'Mind Over Metal' to talk about his new band, The Wretched End. We touch on similarities and differences with his more well-known projects, Zyklon and Emperor, as well as the recent popularity of black metal in modern media and society at large. I also bring up Skjold Church pretty ham-handedly, so be sure to listen for that delightfulness. | 11/23/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitMikael Weikath of HELLOWEEN Live on 'Mind Over Metal' | In this LIVE interview originally conducted 2010Sep24, Mikael Weikath and I discuss the latest from HELLOWEEN—both the then-forthcoming "7 Sinners" and the "Unarmed: Best of 25th Anniversary" albums. We touch on how the band has moved through the changing times, and how HELLOWEEN have continually defied expectation, time and again. I also introduce him to Rasputina at the end, so that's fun! | 11/18/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitInterview with Dave Wyndorf of Monster Magnet by MetalMattLongo | Originally recorded on 2010Oct07, I had a LONG talk with Dave Wyndorf. A leader in what would become known as "stoner rock", he has led Monster Magnet through twenty tumultuous years. Naturally, we talk about the new album "Mastermind" and their latest videos, but also touch on his history of drug use and how it afflicts America on a larger scale, plus we discuss his favorite gods and go in-depth on his famous facial hair. | 11/8/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitInterview with Nate Hall of USX by MetalMattLongo | Listen to this interview with Nate Hall, the leader of U.S. Christmas! Hear about the album "Run Thick In The Night", and the many forthcoming projects by USX. Also, we talk about their name and new abbreviation, the energy of live performance, the rigors of touring, ethics of downloading, and actually a lot about family and a little about religion. Check out their music from Neurot Recordings! | 9/29/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitLive Interview with Steve von Till of Neurosis and Harvestman by MetalMattLongo on 'Mind Over Metal' | How does Steve von Till compare teaching with songwriting? Where does he draw parallels between heavy music and mellower folk? Just how did his solo projects like Harvestman and his eponymous music form? I even invoke Space Ghost, and find out what his superpowers are as Harvestman! This was a great live, on-air conversation with Steve that went longer and more in-depth than I expected. Enjoy, as we did! | 9/3/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitInterview : Burton C Bell - Fear Factory, City of Fire | Want the lowdown about the Fear Factory sound on the Jagermeister stage at Heavy MTL 2010? How about info on the new Vancouver-based band Burton is in with Byron Stroud, City of Fire? I’ll bet you’d never guess which group Burton first paid to see, plus you get to read about his favorite method of birth control. Well that’s only half accurate, but we do talk about the true nature of his soul and other fun stuff. Originally recorded 2010Jul26 | 8/4/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitInterview : Jason Netherton, MISERY INDEX | Jason Netherton, founding member of Misery Index, called in to 'Mind Over Metal' this past week for the second time in the show's history. We obviously talk about the latest album (last time it was "Traitors", now it's "Heirs to Theivery"), but delve a bit deeper, exploring MP3 culture and current consumption trends, as well as the story behind the Japanese bonus track, "The Devil's Onion Ring". The one thing I wish I asked––which would have tied everything together nicely––is how he feels the American legacy of perceived entitlement affects current attitudes, particularly regarding music. Feel free to discuss amongst yourselves! | 7/16/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitInterview : Rich Mullins, KARMA TO BURN | I was reminded why they call it "stoner metal" as I waited on bated breath for a phone call from Rich Mullins of Karma to Burn, live during 'Mind Over Metal'! Regardless of innumerable bong rips—er… the reasons… thanks to Raphael Pinsker from Skateboard Marketing (who also helped setup the interview), Rich was tracked down. Good thing, too. "Appalachian Incantation" is one of my early favorites for the Best of 2010, and I really wanted to talk about it! If you missed it live, here's your chance to listen. Get some inside info on producer Scott Reeder (Kyuss), hear Rich's cure for a hangover, and listen for the first Hitler joke on my show! | 6/1/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitInterview : Timmy, HOWL | Another raw phone interview until I can get transcribers! This was supposed to be with Vince, but he couldn't make it, so I got to speak with Timmy from HowL. They are one of the best damned bands coming out of Providence, RI these days and their new album, "Full of Hell" has answered in fine form to their eponymous debut EP. I was glad to speak with another member of the band, as Vince called in live to 'Mind Over Metal' when their last album dropped. This time, Timmy and I delve more into lyrical content, religious (un)beliefs, ethos, and movies with "labyrinth" in the title. | 5/27/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitBruce Corbitt interview (Warbeast, Rigor Mortis) | You all want to hear a band that is not f*****g around? Consider Warbeast (formerly Texas Metal Alliance), who have recently released their vicious debut album on Philip Anselmo's Housecore Records. Entitled "Krush The Enemy", it does just that. And what is the enemy you ask? Well, I would like to say 'listen to the interview and find out', only that never came up. We talk the origins of Warbeast and switching names, working with Phil as a producer, the current state of the reunited Rigor Mortis, and lookalike comparisons that range from Warrel Dane (mine) to Devin Townsend to Marty Feldman! This was a good'un… one of those naturally-flowing discussions that went in some interesting directions and ran longer than planned. For the record, I say the enemies they krush are convention and expectation. Determined to wave the DFW thrash banner high and proud, Warbeast is a formidable new player on the battlefield. | 5/27/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitNo Joke: The Best Interview with Jesse Leach | Yes, it was April Fools Day. But I kid you not, this is one of the best interviews I’ve ever conducted! Killswitch is rarely invoked, there was a very natural flow to the conversation, and I think we both genuinely enjoyed our discussion. I hope you do as well. And grab the self-titled debut album from The Empire Shall Fall! Note: I mistakenly call their record label, Angle Side Side, “Angle Angle Side” the first few times. And as of 2010Oct12, they have been distributed by Restricted Release. | 4/2/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitInterview : Chris Jericho, FOZZY | Fozzy has evolved over the years, from a fun side project to something its members wish to take seriously. "Chasing The Grail" again finds the band avoiding covers, and exploring new territories. In my interview with vocalist Chris Jericho, we discuss his desire for success in the music world, touch on Helloween for a bit, and answer a bunch of wrestling questions (cuz though I haven't watched for years now, I did for about 20!). It's a lot of fun, and yet another that's unedited, save for trimming the ends… enjoy! | 2/19/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitInterview : Dino Cazares, FEAR FACTORY | Man, you wanna talk about setting the record straight? Listen to this interview with guitarist Dino Cazares.

Hear about the whole debacle with the FF name and what that Arkaea business is all about. Plus we dig deep into Dino's fears, exploring what he has overcome and what he'll never let happen again. | 2/13/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitShort Bursts with Rich Hoak of BRUTAL TRUTH | Ohhh, they're back with a vengeance! Most of the guys have never really gone away. Vocalist Kevin Sharp is in Venomous Concept, Dan Lilker still plays with thrash band Nuclear Assault, and Rich Hoak drums with TFD. Brutal Truth was often on my peripherals when I was a teenager, so it's great to see them again after all these years. This interview is one of the shortest here on the site, but isn't it appropriate that a grindcore player holds that title? Hear about how they reformed, his love for the Minutemen, and the importance of the veteran band to modern audiences. | 4/28/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitInterview : Tommy Victor : PRONG / MINISTRY / DANZIG | A fun interview with 22 year vet, Tommy Victor. The leader in crossover industrial thrash metal is back with a vengeance in Prong's second incarnation, and is showing no signs of slowing. He's still involved with Danzig and there's no telling what he and Al Jourgensen are gonna cook up. You can hear him on the new Ministry live album Adios... P**a Madres, and there is a remix album of Prong's 2007 album Power of the Damager called Power of the Damn Mixxxer, available soon! | 4/27/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
