Tom is joined by Addison and Will of Cronos Compulsion to talk about their crushing new album “Lawgiver” out now via Avantgarde Music. From pandemic-born beginnings in 2021 to a full-length that’s already making waves in the underground, this conversation explores how the band blends sludge, grind, doom, and politically charged themes into a unique and furious sound.

The origins of Cronos Compulsion and their evolution from a prior project
New album “Lawgiver”: from lineup challenges to standout tracks like “Gyre of Decaying Filth” and “Lawgiver”
The Midwest DIY tour circuit, and why Louisville’s Portal and Metal Monday at Mag Bar are vital
Embracing mixed-genre bills and pushing against metal gatekeeping
Reflections on environmental decay, political power structures, and the value of critical thinking in art
The struggle of making time for full albums in a single-driven streaming culture
The importance of physical formats and sustainability as a band
Dream tour mates like Pig Destroyer, Carcass, and Primitive Man
