In this brutally honest conversation, Matt McGachy from Cryptopsy delves into the psychology behind extreme art and the band's latest album, "An Insatiable Violence." From his viral dream about social media torture to how fatherhood, touring, and tech addiction collide in modern metal, expect laughs, vulnerability, and a few death metal dad truths along the way. Then we go deeper — into Montreal's death metal legacy, the psychology of violence, and the evolution of extreme music. The frontman of one of technical death metal's most legendary bands opens up about ego, darkness, and the brutal joy of creation. Expect musings on AI, catfishing, mosh-pit culture, and the strange beauty of being "good people making violent music."

Simon Neil from Biffy Clyro chats with guest-host Chris Enriquez about Only Revolutions, the album that changed everything. The 2009 breakthrough featured six hit singles, a four-month recording marathon in Vancouver and LA with producer Garth Richardson, and a burst of love, energy, and renewal. Where Puzzle wrestled with grief and loss, Only Revolutions captured passion, connection, and the rush of possibility. It was a record that pushed Biffy Clyro into stadiums and cemented them as one of the UK's most important rock bands. Simon also opens up about songwriting, the band's fearless evolution, and their upcoming record Futique (out September 19).

Refused frontman Dennis Lyxzén gets elbows deep into the story of their classic 1998 album The Shape of Punk to Come, from their hardcore roots in Sweden's Umeå to the experimental chaos that fused hardcore, jazz, rock, experimental music and drum & bass into a revolutionary sound. He opens up about the political fire that drove the record, the inner tensions of making it, and why the album's freedom-loving, anti-capitalist spirit still matters today.

Benjamin Berdous of Norwegian band Slomosa discusses "Battling Guns" off their album Tundra Rock and its strong stance on Palestine in the latest episode of the We Wreck Records podcast. He champions artists like Rage Against The Machine and System of a Down using their platform to speak out on what's right. He discusses the impact of Israeli and American propaganda, the sensitivity around discussing Palestine in Germany, and the broader implications of canceling political views. Beyond the political, the podcast features an intimate and exploratory deep dive into the meaning and music behind their genre-defining album "Tundra Rock" which took the riffs and catchiness of desert rock and threw it in the Norwegian forest to fend for itself, beautifully.

Orange 9mm's Chaka Malik joins We Wreck Records to celebrate 30 years of Driver Not Included, the genre-smashing record that fused chaos, consciousness, and a totally new sound. In this raw, honest conversation, Chaka reflects on the magic of 90s NYC, the record's emotional intensity, and how vulnerability—not volume—is the real power behind heavy music.
From Tribe Called Quest to spiritual awakenings, staying high to the real truth about addiction, hyponosis, finding your voice, slam dancing through to spinning in a chair in the dark to unlock melodies — this is a deep look at a record that still hits.

In this week's episode of We Wreck Records, Carson Pace of The Callous Daoboys unpacks the creativity, experiments and madness behind I Don't Want to See You in Heaven (2025).

This record is a genre-smashing, sonically feral slab of emotional honesty, part mathcore, part heartbreak, part existential exorcism. Carson dives deep on the band's evolving (and very cinematic) sound, their boldest musical experiments yet, and when lyrics can smell.

We talk about speed of thought, artistic vulnerability, turning a loud brain into something beautiful and what it means to completely reinvent yourself, using only your heartbreak as fuel.

What does the end of the world sound like? Is it traitorous to be sober in industrial music? Why do Generation Z's promiscuous music fanatics diverge so hard with 90's genre purists? Who wins: drugs, music, or youth? How do you build a record that feels like a movie?

In this week's episode of We Wreck Records, submerge yourself in the story behind HEALTH's "RAT WARS" with HEALTH frontman Jake Duzsik as he cranks open this slab of dystopian beauty. Listen in on a raw in-the-wild chat featuring an explosive track-by-track lyrical and musical exploration of this beloved genre-busting album.

Blöthar the Berserker and BälSäc crash We Wreck Records to celebrate 40 years of GWAR — the filthiest, weirdest, most blood-soaked band in the galaxy — and their new EP The Return of Gor-Gor. We talk censorship, stage carnage, presidential beheadings, and how GWAR snuck punk rock anarchy into the mainstream. Also: classic chaos with original frontman Oderus Urungus (RIP), including backstage insurrection, crowd mayhem, and the alien soul of a band that just won't die.

This week on We Wreck Records, Buzz Osborne of Melvins dives deep into Stoner Witch — the band's 1994 sludge masterpiece and follow-up to their major label debut Houdini (where Buzz famously fired Kurt Cobain as producer). Buzz pulls back the curtain on Melvins' songwriting process, the power of album artwork, and how movies, books, and bad vibes shape their sound. From Judas Priest's Unleash the Beast to Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, this conversation is a wild ride through identity, creativity, and chaos — with detours into brain science, resurrection, and the strange place where science and religion blur.
