The Distorted Dialogue Podcast

On Episode 22, Des Moines, Iowa's Infernal Instinct swing by to discuss their two songs they just released, Transcending Madness and The Virtue. Brand new to the metal scene, they wasted no time dropping two behemoth tracks, so different from other metal bands today. A really unique sound, this up and coming metal band tells about how they met, how they were influenced and their plan moving forward.

From their humble beginnings, to ripping stages in the local scene, these dudes are hungry and have been devouring venues as they go. Couldn't have been a nicer group of dudes and it was really cool to see the insight into what makes their sound unique.

If you haven't heard these dudes yet, fix that, their sound is great!

Chicago's Thrash metal heroes in Misfire swing by the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, to talk about their new album, Product of the Environment, their first album on MNRK Heavy. They are stoked to be heading out with the legendary Exodus, whose lead singer Rob Dukes made a guest appearance on Product of the Environment. We discuss the upcoming singles, their influences, and so much more.

I had a great time talking to Misfire, and want to thank them for swinging by, especially with so much positive stuff going on. Head over and check out their ripper of a lead single, "We Went Through Hell", and snag a copy of Product of the Environment.

🎙️ Distorted Dialogue | A Podcast from The Metal Institute of Thrashology 🤘

Welcome to Distorted Dialogue, the official podcast of The Metal Institute of Thrashology — where riffs meet ridiculousness and academia bows before the almighty arpeggio.

Each episode dives deep, headfirst into the chaotic realms of metal, punk, hardcore, and beyond with band members, scene lifers, and other unholy scholars of sound. Expect unfiltered, uncensored conversations, deep dives into underground music, and enough sarcasm and sonic blasphemy to earn us a few detention sessions in hell.

Whether it is Thrash or Metalcore, Doom to Death and everything in between, if it’s heavy chances are you can find it here. Interviews with artists, tech’s, and other members of the music industry, nothing is off limits, and same goes for the chats! Rather than a boring rapid fire of the same old questions everyone asks, I’d rather have a cool conversation that feels more like a hangout, rather than a pretentious business meeting. It’s METAL, let’s have some FUN!

Audiophile and one of the best outlets to get metal recommendations from, Jacob Baker, known more commonly as Reverend Fuzzcut, swings by on Episode 20 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast. We talk about some of the best albums of 2024, some of the best albums coming up in 2025, streaming, media formats and so much more. Being a writer for the Doom Charts, The Reverend has a vast knowledge of music, which you can see on display here, as I am always blown away but his excellent recommendations.

You can probably get a year's worth of listening and sounds, just from his recommendations alone. I want to thank the Reverend for taking time out of his life, for sitting down and teaching me so much about what is coming up!

On Episode 19 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, Sofia Frasz stops by, the brains behind the solo project Exiled Hope. We talk about the newest album, Apocrypha, which is a Blackened Progressive metal album, with heavy doom influences, and she did everything on the album guitars, vocals, bass, everything, which gives a great cohesion through the whole thing.

We discuss the level of dedication that she puts into everything, from the album, to her studies, and how she manages to balance it all is beyond me. She also expands on where her influences come from, and no wonder I like her music, she likes the same stuff as me.

Listen here, and then go check out her music. I really had a great time talking to Sofia and want to thank her for taking time out, as she probably doesn't have much free time.

On Episode 18 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, John Scarlata sits down to discuss his latest EP, Ascendance. A unique approach to punk rock, Scarlatamusic is a one man band who does it all, except for the drumming, but it is an eclectic mix of instrumental punk rock that he performs all by hisself. John goes into the difficulties in finding a band, so he just decided to do it all himself.

Oddly enough, John doesn't just play skate punk, he lives it, as he is a shredder both on the guitars and the skateboard as he actually plays guitar while he skates and often posts doing both. A quality EP, Ascendance was a great little introduction to his music, so head over and check it out!
