Can you believe Roger Miret of Agnostic Front, the literal Godfather of Hardcore, just called the internet and AI the “most destructive tool there ever is”? He doesn’t hold back, arguing that our obsession with phones is making us “soulless fucking people” and destroying human creativity and genuine connection. It’s a hardcore take on modern life, and honestly, you have to hear his reasoning behind Evolution of Madness and why he thinks we’ve all gone “batshit crazy”! This conversation goes deep, so strap in.

Chris Akin sits down with Roger Miret to dive into the band’s latest killer record, Echoes in Eternity , set for release on November 7th. Roger reveals the fascinating story behind their genre-bending collaboration with the legendary DMC of Run DMC on the track Matter of Life and Death , touching on how hardcore and hip hop have walked “parallel lives”. He also gets intensely personal, discussing his battle with cancer during the pandemic and how overcoming that fight—similar to his past struggles—provided a new spark to maximize every second of life. Beyond the music, Roger shares why Echoes in Eternity is a collection of all their past records and the punk ethic of caring about the art and packaging, not just a song on Spotify. He even drops some eye-opening thoughts on American consumerism and how different the food and lifestyle is in Europe. Agnostic Front is hitting the road soon, with East Coast shows starting December 4th and a European tour in February 2026, so be ready to witness the live monster.
