The world's heaviest grunge band is back. We sat down with Ben Hoagland of The Extortionist to dig into the band’s long-awaited revival and the impact of their fourth album, “Stare Into the Seething Wounds,” now out on Unique Leader Records. We talked Texas vs. Idaho life, the chemistry that keeps the band sharp—especially Ben’s creative back-and-forth with Riker Morrow—and how Alice In Chains’ “Rooster” unexpectedly sparked the vision behind their cover art. A raw, unfiltered look at a band stepping confidently into their next era. Tune in now be sure to buy and stream The Extortionist's new album, out now worldwide via Unique Leader Records.
