  • Archspire - Carrion Ladder - Single Review

    In this episode, John and Derek talk about Archspire's latest single 'Carrion Ladder,' and talk about the band's extreme metal style, technical prowess, and vocalist Oli Peters's vocal style. They get into the song's chaotic nature and speculate about the band's direction with their upcoming album due in April 2026. 

    The conversation shifts to a personal story about human kindness and the importance of being mindful of others, especially in the context of the metal community's values.
