Join us as we crank up the volume with Chris from the explosive metal band Backstabber, discussing their bone-crushing new EP, "Patterns of Domination." Get an insider look at the dark literary inspirations fueling their music, especially the track "Harvesting the Weak," which echoes the intimidator archetype from "The Celestine Prophecy." Our chat reveals the surprising depth of metal music, debunking myths of one-dimensional negativity and showcasing its rich narrative layers drawn from history and literature. Laugh along as we talk about the ironic humor laced within the band's work, emphasizing the distinction between on-stage persona and off-stage reality, and why being an actual intimidator or narcissist is not on the setlist.  

Listen in as Chris and I riff on the diverse soundscape of death metal and the significance of bands evolving while remaining true to their roots, much like the legendary Slayer. We go beyond the riffs to discuss connecting with fans across social media, from the convenience of Facebook to the emerging platforms like TikTok. Discover the deeper messages behind songs like "Long Time" and "Crawling Through Your Bones," and enjoy personal stories that paint a vivid picture of the unique Canadian metal scene. Whether you're a die-hard metal aficionado or a curious newcomer, this conversation is a backstage pass to the cultural experiences that shape the music and the electrifying rush of live performances.
