This week on Start The Beat, we’re diving headfirst into the unrelenting world of brutal death metal with Dan and Jay of Vulgar Mephitis. An absolutely ferocious band making waves in Pittsburgh’s underground scene! This episode is not focused specifically on the band because, to be honest, we just decided to record this with no actual plan, but regardless, we’ll discuss their inspirations, songwriting process, and the challenges faced while promoting heavy music in a diverse music landscape. Rock and roll.  https://vulgarmephitis.bandcamp.com/album/vulgar-mephitis Welcome to Start The Beat—a podcast documenting the Pittsburgh music scene's past, present, and future.
