Pittsburgh Sludgelord's in Stalemate of Wills are releasing their new album Existence Denied, which puts a salty, rusty spin on New Orleans sludge, with a mix of old school hardcore and marinated in doom, they swung by on Episode 75 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast. It really is a small world, as I knew they were local, but they are from old stomping grounds, and Stalemate of Wills tells how they have an upcoming show, in support of the upcoming album, Existence Denied. As they self identify, too sludgy for doom, too doomy for sludge, that is what is so good about this album. It appeals to more than just one type of sounds. Which makes Existence Denied more than just a sludge album, with hardcore influences and DIY roots. 

I had a blast talking to Stalemate of Wills, and make sure you check out their upcoming album, Existence Denied out April of 26!

Connor Valentin from the Death Metal, Thrash Metal band Dissentience swings by the Distorted Dialogue Podcast to talk about the latest Extended Player they just dropped, Kaiju. Kaiju is written as a concept album infusing a Japanese style story of mass destruction by monsters, all being soundtracked by a punishing metal soundtrack. Connor tells how Dissentience settled on this concept, and how they went about incorporating into their writing. Dissentience has a distinct and unique blend of metal and having the drama in the music doubling down on this imagery, really helps drive these themes home, making for an even better listening experience.

We spent as much time talking about the music we love, more so than their own album, but it really helped provide context on how they came up with some of the ideas, and how they approached this album.

Check out Kaiju, and Dissentience's previous album Empire Anatomy, which is another killer album.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if a classical composer created an extreme metal album? Well, that’s exactly what happened on the latest album, Cathexis, by the Mexican extreme metal band, Phendrana. The multi-instrumentalist in classical composer, also has an affinity in love for some of the most extreme and heavy of metal music, so it would only make sense to combine the two in his sophomore effort, Cathexis. A truly textured and dynamic album, the man behind the project, Anuar Salum Incorporated, some classical and symphonic elements to create one grandiose sound. Whether it’s the sheer brutality, the contrasting drama, or meticulously written, progressive metal elements I had to find out what went into this album.

We talk about how he balances his love for both, and his ability to incorporate elements of both while separating the two sounds. We also talk about the Mexican metal scene. We talk about how he writes such intricate yet marathon songs and so much more.

On Episode 70 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, I sit down with a few of the members from the San Diego metalcore band, Subjugator, to discuss their formation, their new EP that just launched, Braindance, and so much more. We also discuss the song that they are currently working on described as Sex metal, their living situations and the lengths that these dudes go to keep the band moving forward. Wether it's sleeping on couches, and losing cash on tour, to moving members 8 hours to be closer, or working around their lead guitarist's service in the Navy, whatever it takes to make metal these dudes will do it. Thanks to Subjugator for showing up on short notice, and having so much fun on this one as I think I laughed over half this episode. Not only are they good dudes, but they put out some damn good metal music. Billed as Metalcore, I hear influences from several different genres, making this a widely appealing EP in Brandance.

On Episode number 68 on the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, James McBain from Hellripper stops by to discuss his newest release, Coronach out on ⁠ @centurymedia ⁠ on March 27, 2026. We discuss a ton in this episode, from his journey of playing guitar, what inspires him to play, and how he does it all as a one man band. From touring with friends, to where his journeys have taken him, I had a great time talking to James, and really felt I learned a lot of what went into creating that distinct Hellripper sound. I can't wait to hear the rest of this album and after talking with James, I want to hear it even more. Special thanks to James for stopping and more importantly for creating kick ass riffs. Make sure you head over and snag a copy of his record at👇: https://hellripper.bandcamp.com/album/coronach-24-bit-hd-audioWelcome to Distorted Dialogue, the official podcast of The Metal Institute of Thrashology.

Discussing topics such as new albums, inspirations, concerts, crazy road stories and wherever else the conversation takes us. Don’t think of this as a rapid fire, monotone filler, but rather a conversation where we can all learn about albums, tours and more, while laughing along the way Some keep coming back, so find out why!

Welcome to the first episode of Fired Up Fridays on the Metal Institute of Thrashology, a series where I give you a few albums that are being released this Friday, and what my opinion is of them. In this very first episode, we have the releases of four new albums, from various subgenera and styles of metal, but all are damn good specimens of riffage. First up we have Eximperitus and their newest release, "The Meritoriousness of Equanimity", which is a crushing death metal or extreme metal offering. Following up their level of metal madness, we swing into another heavyweight in Shine's "Wrathcult" , keeping the death and deluge going. We lighten up for a bit and catch some grooves with the psych rockers in Redwood and their contribution of confusion, "Time to Lose". And bringing up the tailed of the roster is the Pennsylvania punisher in Profane Elegy and their album Herezjarcha. This thing is blackened, and killer. I really enjoyed these four, and with so many more coming out, what are you excited for on January 30's releases. What did I miss from the rest of January that had your head banging? Let me know, I need to know!

On Episode 67 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, we countdown the Top 10 Metal Songs of 2025, with 5 more honorable mentions that missed the cut. A dynamic list, with a number 1 I am sure no one had on their list of top songs. From Thrash Metal to Death Metal, Doom, Psych and Stoner this is one diverse list where the only requirement, was the song had to kick ass. I based these rankings strictly off of the streaming stats of how many times I kept going back to the same riffs. Some bands I listened to the promos, more than the streams, and several of these I own the record too, and caught them live, which I didn't account for in the rankings. With more than a few bad ass singles released last year, what were some of yours? What did I miss? What song kept you coming back for more? Let me know in the comments, as I am always looking for more heavy! 🤘
