The Heavyist

Welcome back lovely people to the Heavyist - this week we had to talk about 2 albums that both live in our beloved heavysphere but couldn't really be more different

Florida Slam nutcases released one of our most anticipated albums of the year (and last year) 3 and it is exactly what we expected

and we both discover the genre bending genius of Rwake on The Return of Magik, their first album in 10 years and a really exciting piece of work

What's up lovely Heavyists - this week on the show we are joined by our old pal Harry Rule, vocalist of the incredible UK metalcore squad God Complex to chat about their triumphant return!

We get into the bands hiatus back in 2020, Harry's stint as the frontman of Blood Youth, the return of God Complex, signing to Sharptone Records and their wonderful new EP He Watches In Silence (out now everywhere you can listen to sick music) and also chat a bit about his really interesting day job as a runner/driver/tour manager and general legend of the industry.

Harry is such a lovely bloke and it's always a pleasure to chat to him, hopefully you enjoy checking it out too (maybe watch the video version - it's worth it I promise)

also - go catch God Complex at one of their upcoming comeback shows:
