Lenny Smith, vocalist for Atriarch and the second half of dark electronic band Barren Harvest, joins us for this episode.  Atriarch, one of my favorite bands, play an intriguing hybrid of death rock, black metal and doom. Check out all of their records.

We talk about:

• esoteric practice

Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal, Morbid Angel) is one of the hardest working dudes in metal. From his early days in the genre-creating Ripping Corpse he has been pushing the boundaries of death metal. Additionaaly, he is one the most sought-after producers in the the exteme metal scene.

We talk about:

• making important life decisions

Bands come and go. These days there seems to be an endless stream of bands that form, put out a record and tap out after a few years of hard touring. There are few bands that can stand the test of time like Sick of It All. Amidst a wave a reunions and nostalgia trips, SOIA have pretty much been the same bunch of guys making music they love, working hard and making an indelible mark on the face of American Hardcore.

It’s with great honor that I welcome Lou Koller, Sick of It All’s frontman, to the Everything Went Black Podcast.
