On Episode 70 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, I sit down with a few of the members from the San Diego metalcore band, Subjugator, to discuss their formation, their new EP that just launched, Braindance, and so much more. We also discuss the song that they are currently working on described as Sex metal, their living situations and the lengths that these dudes go to keep the band moving forward. Wether it's sleeping on couches, and losing cash on tour, to moving members 8 hours to be closer, or working around their lead guitarist's service in the Navy, whatever it takes to make metal these dudes will do it. Thanks to Subjugator for showing up on short notice, and having so much fun on this one as I think I laughed over half this episode. Not only are they good dudes, but they put out some damn good metal music. Billed as Metalcore, I hear influences from several different genres, making this a widely appealing EP in Brandance. Recorded on: February 7, 2026Welcome to Distorted Dialogue, the official podcast of The Metal Institute of Thrashology. Where I interview each guest, getting to the bottom of what you want to know. Wether it’s a Headlining Act from the other side of the world or a thrash band next to a river, I am always searching for the next riff, album or tour, and this is where to find out about it. Discussing topics such as new albums, inspirations, concerts, crazy road stories and wherever else the conversation takes us. Don’t think of this as a rapid fire, monotone filler, but rather a conversation where we can all learn about albums, tours and more, while laughing along the way Some keep coming back, so find out why! I don’t just interview musicians, but techs, label executives, industry attorneys and anything else that is metal as hell.

On Episode number 68 on the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, James McBain from Hellripper stops by to discuss his newest release, Coronach out on ⁠ @centurymedia ⁠ on March 27, 2026. We discuss a ton in this episode, from his journey of playing guitar, what inspires him to play, and how he does it all as a one man band. From touring with friends, to where his journeys have taken him, I had a great time talking to James, and really felt I learned a lot of what went into creating that distinct Hellripper sound. I can't wait to hear the rest of this album and after talking with James, I want to hear it even more. Special thanks to James for stopping and more importantly for creating kick ass riffs.

Welcome to the first episode of Fired Up Fridays on the Metal Institute of Thrashology, a series where I give you a few albums that are being released this Friday, and what my opinion is of them. In this very first episode, we have the releases of four new albums, from various subgenera and styles of metal, but all are damn good specimens of riffage. First up we have Eximperitus and their newest release, "The Meritoriousness of Equanimity", which is a crushing death metal or extreme metal offering. Following up their level of metal madness, we swing into another heavyweight in Shine's "Wrathcult" , keeping the death and deluge going. We lighten up for a bit and catch some grooves with the psych rockers in Redwood and their contribution of confusion, "Time to Lose". And bringing up the tailed of the roster is the Pennsylvania punisher in Profane Elegy and their album Herezjarcha. This thing is blackened, and killer. I really enjoyed these four, and with so many more coming out, what are you excited for on January 30's releases. What did I miss from the rest of January that had your head banging? Let me know, I need to know!

On Episode 67 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, we countdown the Top 10 Metal Songs of 2025, with 5 more honorable mentions that missed the cut. A dynamic list, with a number 1 I am sure no one had on their list of top songs. From Thrash Metal to Death Metal, Doom, Psych and Stoner this is one diverse list where the only requirement, was the song had to kick ass. I based these rankings strictly off of the streaming stats of how many times I kept going back to the same riffs. Some bands I listened to the promos, more than the streams, and several of these I own the record too, and caught them live, which I didn't account for in the rankings. With more than a few bad ass singles released last year, what were some of yours? What did I miss? What song kept you coming back for more? Let me know in the comments, as I am always looking for more heavy! 🤘

On episode 66 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, we have the legendary Kyle Thomas, one of the founding members of Exhorder, who also handles duties in the bands Floodgate, Alabama Thunderpussy and the legendary doom rockers in Trouble. We talk about all these different projects, what led him to music, and how he found his way, along with so many more stories and what really was just a great conversation. As an old school and long time fan of Exhorder, it was an absolute pleasure talking with Kyle. @ExhorderOfficial is hitting the road on the "Unforeseen Circumstances Tour", with the mighty Ringworm, Slowhole, Luicidal and Phobia. If these dudes are in your area, do not miss! Where do you plan on catching these dudes at? Special thanks to Liz over at @EarsplitCompound for setting this up! Welcome to Distorted Dialogue, the official podcast of The Metal Institute of Thrashology. Where I interview each guest, getting to the bottom of what you want to know. Wether it’s a Headlining Act from the other side of the world or a thrash band next to a river, I am always searching for the next riff, album or tour, and this is where to find out about it. Discussing topics such as new albums, inspirations, concerts, crazy road stories and wherever else the conversation takes us. Don’t think of this as a rapid fire, monotone filler, but rather a conversation where we can all learn about albums, tours and more, while laughing along the way Some keep coming back, so find out why! I don’t just interview musicians, but techs, label executives, industry attorneys and anything else that is metal as hell. Why limit the fun?
