Amy Sciarretto of Atom Splitter PR joins The Mox of the Vulgar Display of Podcast for an in-depth conversation about the music industry, public relations, journalism, artist development, and the relationships that drive the rock and metal world.

As one of the most respected publicists in heavy music, Amy shares her journey from aspiring music journalist and college radio enthusiast to founding Atom Splitter PR, one of the premier publicity firms in rock, metal, hardcore, and alternative music. She discusses her early writing opportunities, influential mentors, time at CMJ and Roadrunner Records, and the leap of faith that led her to launch her own company with Killswitch Engage as its flagship client.

Throughout the interview, Amy breaks down what a publicist actually does, explaining how PR professionals help shape and protect an artist's public narrative through media strategy, interview coordination, tour promotion, crisis management, release planning, and long-term brand development. She also addresses the realities of declining interview requests, prioritizing media opportunities, and navigating the ever-changing music landscape.

The conversation explores how music journalism has evolved over the years, with podcasts becoming a key platform for artist discovery and long-form storytelling in an era where traditional print media has significantly declined. Amy and The Mox discuss the importance of trust, authenticity, and relationship-building in an industry that is far more collaborative than many fans realize.

Amy also shares stories and insights from her decades-long relationships with some of the biggest names in heavy music, including Killswitch Engage, Hatebreed, Machine Head, Trivium, The Pretty Reckless, Falling in Reverse, Sleep Token, Chevelle, DevilDriver, Within Temptation, Glassjaw, FAR, and many more. From being encouraged by Mike D of Killswitch Engage to launch Atom Splitter PR to describing Machine Head's Rob Flynn and Trivium's Matt Heafy as family, Amy offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at the personal connections that often develop between artists and their publicists.

Additional topics include:
• The founding and growth of Atom Splitter PR
• Life after Roadrunner Records
• Building a successful PR company from the ground up
• Working with emerging artists before mainstream success
• The future of music publicity
• Concert culture and attending more than 125 shows per year
• Career longevity in the music industry
• Long-term goals for Atom Splitter PR and potential future acquisition plans

A huge thank you to Amy Sciarretto and Atom Splitter PR for their continued support of the Vulgar Display of Podcast since its earliest days.

Elias Soriano of Nonpoint joins Micah and Zack on the Vulgar Display of Podcast for an in-depth conversation about the band's upcoming album The Last Word, arriving September 18, 2026, via 361 Degrees Records. Elias breaks down the meaning behind the band's latest single "Is It," discusses Nonpoint's incredible longevity, and shares why the band feels more focused and energized than ever as they enter their next era.

We also spotlight Nonpoint's upcoming Midwest tour dates, including their August 12 stop at Pop's Nightclub in Sauget, Illinois, alongside Spineshank and Hed PE, as well as their August 15 performance at The Rave in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Elias talks about bringing new material from The Last Word to the stage while continuing to deliver the high-energy performances that have made Nonpoint one of hard rock's most respected live bands.

For more than two decades, Nonpoint has built a reputation on relentless touring, powerful songwriting, and a deep connection with their fans. With The Last Word on the horizon and the Even More Outta Control Tour underway, the band is proving they are far from finished.
