AFI released "Silver Bleeds The Black Sun" - a goth rock masterpiece and Agriculture released "The Spiritual Sound" which is an experimental and baffling black metal experience for the ages
check them both out now
also - you can watch these episodes on Youtube - you get to look at our lovely faces and you can see Sonny's commitment to the cause in his Despair Faction t shirt!

Hey everyone
an amalgamation of 2 episodes we did recently
we talked about "How I Fell In Love With The Void" - the latest offering from the wonder Connecticut Noise Rock band Intercourse
and we also chatted about the new EP "With Skull Crushing Force" from Atomic Rule, the new project from former Every Time I Die riff-lord Andy Williams and we compared it to the latest releases from the other post-ETID breakup bands Many Eyes and Better Lovers
to enjoy these things to their fullest we recommend heading to our Youtube channel where we upload these in video format
thanks a lot
love you all Join the Discord! It's full of people sharing sick heavy music all the

This week on the show Gary sat down with Brent Mills, vocalist of Louisville, Kentucky based post hardcore band Greyhaven to chat about the band and their new record "Keep It Quiet" coming out October 10th through Solid State Records
he was an absolutely lovely bloke and a pleasure to chat to
thanks a lot Join the Discord! It's full of people sharing sick heavy music all the

Welcome Heavyist's to another instalment of the show - this week Sonny was joined by Tony Castrati and Stefan Iglesias from the Boston based Post Punk/Doom/Sludge/Rock/Dance (blimey it gets harder and harder to categorise this lot) legends Crippling Alcoholism ahead of the release of their new album Camgirl - released September 12th through Portrayal of Guilt Records
Sonny covered a LOT of topics with the lads - whose band is one of the most interesting and exciting artists out there at the moment. This is definitely not one to miss
if you are an audio subscriber - we love you - but maybe head over to YouTube and watch instead? You get to see everyone's beautiful faces and Sonny's lovely wall of art!

We sat down with the one and only Mike Sugars of Psycho Frame 🔥💀 The deathcore darlings are about to unlash their their debut album SALVATION LAUGHS IN THE FACE OF A GRIEVING MOTHER. The album arrives July 25 via SharpTone Records.
What a lovely chat. We got into how the band formed, their love for throwback vibes, and why keeping it real and raw is what makes Psycho Frame hit different.Bold logos , dual vocals , and what it’s like putting together their crushing sound as a unit.
Mike gave us the lowdown on recording the new record, the brutal lyrical themes, and what’s coming next - big riffs, big tours, big plans 🩸
And yeah… we also chat about dog names 🐶 and why being part of this heavy-ass music scene rules 🤘

It's a classic Heavyist blend of records on the show this week! Turnstile release the follow-up to Glow On that's undoubtedly going to launch them into the stratosphere. Rivers of Nihil's new lineup follows up The Work with something very different. UK based Outergods are NOT to be slept on and Bludgeoned By Deformity release maybe the heaviest thing we have ever listened to!Follow us on the socials!https://discord.gg/nSjP3A8bRyhttps://www.instagram.com/theheavyistpodcast/https://twitter.com/TheHeavyisthttps://www.facebook.com/TheHeavyist/https://www.tiktok.com/@theheavyistSTAY HEAVY x

Subscribe to the channel here!: https://www.youtube.com/@theheavyistpodcast?sub_confirmation=1
Their new album "A Door Left Open" drops on June 6th 2025 on Century Media. The thing absolutely rips.
They dive into how the band's sound has evolved, what's poppin' in the metalcore scene right now, and why keeping it real is key in heavy music. Mike shares awesome insights on his journey behind the kit, cool collaborations, and what’s next for Orthodox and his other band, Bather.

Welcome to the Heavyist - weekly worship at the altar of radness - this week we worship at the feet of the incredible masters of THALL Vildhjarta with their wonderful new record Där Skogen Sjunger Under Evighetens Granar.
We discuss the twists and turns, the elevation in grandeur and how this stacks up against their back catalogue and also against other bands from the members of Vildhjarta
also - thank you to Carina for providing the correct pronunciation of the album title - and I apologise to all the Swedes for my BUTCHERING of it.

Welcome back to Deathcore Summer homies! We're continuing to pit (mostly) legendary albums from the Myspace Deathcore against each other until we find the ultimate champion! - and brother in arms Alex Teyen - vocalist from Hull's finest Black Tongue - is still on deck with us!
this week it's one of the best vs something a bit more niche
The Cleansing by Suicide Silence vs Survivalist by ABACABB
we decided to freestyle this one a bit more rather than sticking to our rigid categories as much just because it felt RIGHT! Hope you enjoy it and let us know in the comments if you disagree with our decisions

On this episode we get a little bit more niche with Symphonic Deathcore pioneers Winds of Plague and their debut record Decimate The Weak vs Aussie Technical Deathcore WIZARDS The Red Shore's Unconsecrated.
our categories to discuss for these match-ups are songs, performance and artwork so we really break down these areas and critically analyse them to see who comes out on top!
we all had slightly less skin in the game this time around but this one was definitely one of the funniest match-ups we've had so far!
