For this conversation, we connected with Tyler Beam of The Last Ten Seconds of Life to dive into their upcoming eighth full-length The Dead Ones, set for release April 17 via Metal Blade Records. Marking the band’s debut on the label, the record stands as an intense and deeply personal chapter—pushing their signature heaviness into darker, more introspective territory while refining a sound built to feel as massive as it is deliberate.

Throughout the discussion, we explored Tyler’s role in shaping this new era of the band, from stepping into an established legacy to carving out his own voice within it. We also dug into the album’s central themes of death, rebirth, and the human experience, as well as how working with Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland helped bring that “rolling tank” sonic identity to life. With The Dead Ones poised to mark a defining moment in the band’s evolution, The Last Ten Seconds of Life continue to push forward with purpose—balancing raw emotion, crushing intensity, and a clear vision for what comes next.

We sat down with Ian Schneider of Resistor to talk about their explosive debut full-length BITE THIS!, now out worldwide. Blending the swagger of O.G. nu-metal with the intensity of modern hardcore, the band has carved out their own lane with what they’ve dubbed “knuckle dragging wika wika core”—a sound rooted in collaboration, raw energy, and unapologetic attitude.

Throughout the conversation, we explored the band’s origins—from a chance meeting at a skate park to becoming one of the most chaotic and talked-about emerging acts in heavy music. Ian broke down how that chemistry drives their songwriting process, the importance of balancing aggression with memorability, and how working with Randy LeBoeuf helped bring their vision to life in its heaviest and most complete form yet. With BITE THIS! now out in the world and the band continuing to build momentum on the road, Resistor are pushing forward with a clear mission: keep it heavy, keep it real, and make it hit.

We sat down with Josh Middleton of Sylosis to talk about their crushing new full-length The New Flesh, out now via Nuclear Blast Records. Now seven albums deep into a career spanning more than two decades, the band returns with a record that sharpens their identity into something heavier, leaner, and more immediate—driven by instinct, urgency, and the raw excitement of writing riffs that feel as powerful in the room as they do on record.

Throughout the conversation, we explored how that mindset shaped the album’s balance between crushing heaviness and lasting memorability, while also diving into its more personal themes—ranging from fatherhood and time on the road to mortality and perspective. Rather than settling into veteran status, Sylosis approach this chapter as a renewed push forward, refining their sound, rejecting trends, and doubling down on what they’ve always done best: delivering purposeful, hard-hitting metal that continues to evolve without losing its core.
