Movies, Music, and MorePhil Sgrosso (Apathian, As I Lay Dying, Author & Punisher) Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreSince 2003, Phil Sgrosso has been a very busy man. Not only is he the chief songwriter for Grammy-nominated metal giants As I Lay Dying, he also serves as a guitarist in such varied bands as Saosin, Author & Punisher, Wovenwar, and Poison Headache. He's proven his talent many times over crossing genres back and forth while contributing what is necessary to make each band shine in their own right. His latest endeavor is a solo project in which he in control of everything - from the guitars to the drums to the electronic elements.

Movies, Music, and MoreGlen Matlock (The Sex Pistols) Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreWhen most people think about bass players and The Sex Pistols, their minds immediately gravitate to Sid Vicious. Well, they shouldn't. MANY years before and MANY years after Sid had come and gone, Glen Matlock handled the bottom-end for the British punk innovators. He was a founding member of the band and re-joined them for several reunions starting in 1996.
The big hits The Sex Pistols are known for? Yeah, those were co-written by Matlock well before Vicious picked up the bass. As a matter of fact, out of the 12 tracks embodying the band's only true album, "Never...

Movies, Music, and MoreEric Collins (MrENC) Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreMrENC is the passion project of Eric Collins of Lakeland, FL. Collins has a long history in the indie rock scene. He formed MrENC after having played with Dennison Marrs, The Party People, and The Dark Romantics. Originally started as a solo project, Eric recruited his brother-in-law Dean Lorenz to collaborate on the newest album "We Do Our Own Thing." The EP was recently released through Velvet Blue Music and will definitely appeal to fans of Starflyer 59 and Hum, as well as 1980's legends Ultra Vivid Scene and The Jesus and Mary Chain.

Movies, Music, and MoreSeth Metoyer of Mangled Carpenter Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreIt's not too ften that you hear of someone who finally realized their childhood dream as an adult. That's exactly what is about to happen to Seth Metoyer. From the age of 14, Seth and his buddy have been putting together Mangled Carpenter. "Why did it take so long?" you ask. Well, as a grownup now with a family and other responsibilities, life tends to happen.
Mangled Carpenter's upcoming full length, "Under the Shadow," is the result of years of fine-tuning a blend of everything Seth wanted to hear in an extreme metal album growing up as...

Movies, Music, and MoreAllan Aguirre (Scaterd Few) Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreIf you grew up on a steady diet of Christian alternative, punk, and metal in the late 1980's and early 1990's, there's no way you could have avoided hearing about Scaterd Few. Scaterd Few was quite possibly the most controversial band coming out of the Christian music industry at that time. From their outward appearance and the way they sounded to the things they sang about and the rumors of "questionable" behavior at festivals and concerts, they made a lasting impact on angst-ridden and rebellious kids like me who always liked to push the envelope of what it meant...

Movies, Music, and MorePantokrator Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreDrummer Rickard Gustafsson (also from Crimson Moonlight) and Singer Karl Walfridsson from Sweden's Pantokrator sat down with me recently to discuss movies, music, and more. We chat about where they live in Sweden, how the band got together, and what they're all about. They also talk about their favorite superheroes, TV shows, and movies. If you're not familiar, Pantokrator plays a ferocious brand of metal that combines the elements of death, doom, black, and thrash into their own vicious extreme music monster. The band just released a new single entitled "We The People" off their upcoming album "Marching Into...

Movies, Music, and MoreLazarus Complex Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreAfter a couple of months off, we're back with our first interview of 2021. Lazarus Complex play an explosive combination of death metal and hardcore that even goes as far as peppering in some progressive metal influences to keep things fresh. The band is made up vocalist / lyricist / bassist Jake Schultheis and guitarist / drummer / bassist Joe Murphy and our based out of Massachusetts and New Jersey.
Their latest single, "The Redeemer," caught my attention after I noticed Jason Wisdom of Death Therapy and Becoming the Archetype did guest vocals for the track. Being a big fan of Jason...

Movies, Music, and MoreThe Cast and Crew of "They Reach" Discuss Movies, Music, and MoreWhen I was a kid, I would go to my father's house in the summers and stay up late at night catching up on all the horror and sci-fi movies I missed out on during the year. My mother, who I lived with in Texas, never let me watch them because they were inappropriate. HBO and Cinemax were my main late-night vehicles for feeding my love of monsters, maniacs, and things that go bump in the night. I would watch and re-watch movies like "Fright Night," "Trick or Treat," "The Fog," "The Gate," and anything else of that nature I...

Movies, Music, and MoreJoshua Lory of Cast the Dragon Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreHorror punk is a pretty small niche in an otherwise broad genre of music. You can probably count the bands known for the particular style on both hands. You have The Misfits, The Damned, TSOL, The Cramps, The Undead, and a few others.
In the Christian music scene, there are even less horror punk bands. I know what you're thinking. "Christian horror punk? Isn't that an oxymoron?" Not really, if you think about it. What better medium is there to tackle subjects such as death, the afterlife, and spiritual warfare against the powers of darkness and evil...

Movies, Music, and MoreWretched of Grave Robber Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreHorror punk and rock isn't a subgenre that gets much attention in the world of Christian music. When a band playing this style does comes about, it sticks out like a sore thumb. How can lyrics about vampires, werewolves, demons, and other monsters be used to push the message of the Bible?
Vocalist Wretched of Fort Wayne, Indiana's Grave Robber is here to explain it all to you. Playing a blend of punk and metal that brings to mind bands like The Misfits, Rob Zombie, Alice Cooper, and even Gwar, these guys are here to spread the...

Movies, Music, and MoreZack Plunkett of Abated Mass of Flesh Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreZack Plunkett is the mastermind behind the brutal deathcore band Abated Mass of Flesh. Working out of Tennessee since 2011, the former one-man project now consists of Zack and his brother / lead vocalist Matthew Plunkett. The brothers recruited a full band in the beginning of 2020 to embark on the Hasten Revelation Tour, which is where I was first exposed to the group.
Upon arriving home from their stint on the road, the Plunkett brothers took the Pandemic lockdown as an excuse to write and release Abated Mass of Flesh's new album, "The Dead Will Never Forgive Us."...

Movies, Music, and MoreJosiah Brand of FireBrand Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreWhat do you do when steady bandmates are hard to come by? Well, you take matters into your own hands. That's exactly what Josiah Brand did when deciding to form the industrial metal project known as FireBrand. The extremely driven musician handles everything from the guitar to the vocals to the programming. Based out of Kentucky, FireBrand has steadily released singles and albums since its inception and Josiah is working on more music as you read this.
I sat down with Josiah to talk about FireBrand and his background in music. Of course, we also talked...

Movies, Music, and MoreRed Weather Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreIf you miss the passionate and bombastic sounds of Taking Back Sunday, Saosin, and other late-80s / early 90s indie and emo rock bands, you will absolutely love Red Weather. Hailing from Virginia Beach, VA, this talented trio is made up of vocalist and guitarist Mike Mcfarland - vocalist and bassist Tim Ilardi, and drummer Brian Bassette. Ilardi will be familiar to some as an ex-member of Driving East, which released album on The Militia Group. After hearing Red Weather's new 5-song EP, "Empty Places," I tracked them down to chat about movies, music, and more.

Movies, Music, and MoreNick Moore of Before Their Eyes Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreVocalist Nick Moore formed Findlay, OH's Before Their Eyes in 2006. The band quickly gained a large following through their albums on Rise Records and constant touring with acts like Saosin, Norma Jean, Silverstein, Blessthefall, and many other hardcore and post-hardcore outfits. Moore has kept the passion project alive almost singlehandedly over the years, continuing to put out material with a revolving door of different musicians.
2020 has already seen the release of three singles and a remix of their 2019 song, "Why 6 is Afraid of 7," on Moore's own label InVogue Records. Oh yeah... did I mention he's ran his...

Movies, Music, and MoreSight Received Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreIf I were still a music mogul like I was back in the days when I helped run Pluto Records (I kid, I kid), Sight Received would have been a band that showed up on my radar as soon as they graced my ears. Mixing elements of radio-friendly rock with dashes of post-hardcore and metal, this four-piece group out of Olympia, WA have all the right ingredients. Not only could they dominate the airwaves and land on countless streaming playlists with the right support, but they have what it takes to win over even those who prefer their tunes...

Movies, Music, and MoreDavid Napier of TIMORATUS Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreIf you're looking for safe and typical metal, you've come to the wrong place. TIMORATUS is anything but your carbon-copy heavy music or hardcore band. Singer and founding member David Napier is self-described as being a bit ADHD. It stands out in TIMORATUS's unconventional blend of metal, electronic music, indie rock, and comedy.
You never know what to expect when tuning in for a new tune from TIMORATUS. One album is doom metal, another grindcore, the next song could be one of the tracks off of their latest album, "My Life in a Mediocre Metal Band." In...

Movies, Music, and MoreGrandpa Loves Rhinos Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreGrandpa Loves Rhinos might just be the best pop punk band you've never heard. Made up of brothers Paul and Seth Hyde, the two use their musical outlet to stay connected to each other and the music they grew up listening to. With incredibly personal lyrics and driving melodies, this is a group you're going to want to get to know if late '90s and early 2000's infectious punk anthems are your thing.
I sat down with brothers Paul and Seth Hyde and we discussed... what else... movies, music, and more. As I've found to be...

Movies, Music, and MoreTrevor Vickers of Lifelong Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreTrevor Vickers might be a bit uncomfortable if someone referred to Lifelong as a Christian band. Don't get me wrong. Vickers and band member Joel Piper wouldn't necessarily consider themselves Christians IN a band, either. They would probably be more comfortable identifying as Christ followers and Bible believing musicians who perform in a group together. They take their art and faith both seriously and it shows on Lifelong's first emotionally charged full- length release for Solid State Records, "Above the Waves."
I sat down for a lengthy talk with Trevor and we dove into some topics much...

Movies, Music, and MoreDale Dirksen of Quickflight and the Steve Taylor Band Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreMany people think that the beginnings of Christian alternative rock began in the early 1980s with bands like Undercover, Daniel Amos, Adam Again, and others. However, I would argue the foundations were established even before that with bands like After the Fire and Quickflight. Just like After the Fire, the genesis of Quickflight can be traced back to the early 1970s.
If you were introduced to Christian rock in the mid-1980s like I was, you probably thought it all began with One Bad Pig, Stryper, The Altar Boys, and a few other bands who went "Against...

Movies, Music, and MoreBrotality Discusses Movies, Music, and MoreAll you have to do is see a picture of Brotality and you know they're a unique band right away. Made up of brothers Bryce and Reece and their friend Liam, the members range in age from 14 to 17 years old. If you listened to their music without knowing this, you'd never be the wiser. The singer sounds like late-1980's DRI and musically you get fiery bolts of that decade's thrash masters and a helping of prog-influenced metal in the vein of Mastodon and Periphery.
I sat down with Brotality to chat with them about their upcoming...

Just like almost everyone, the Kutless guitarist also enjoys a good dose of entertainment and pop culture. With the release of his new solo album, "I'm a Wreck," I thought it would be a good time to talk with Nate about the record and other fun stuff. Check out my interview with Nate Parrish, where we chat about his favorite music artists, superheroes, TV show, and more. He also talks about his hobby of collecting action...
