It's funny to think that if you talk the way he does which clearly he tries to come off pretentious that people actually think you're well spoken and intelligent.
Well, that was a learning experience. I like that Kyle doesn't just keep talking excessively because he can. If he needs to take a pause and think about it first, he methodically does.
Vitriol’s latest album reached me in a way that music rarely does, it was great to hear Kyle speak on many things. I listened to Suffer + Become daily during a several-day hike I did this year, straight off the back of a couple weeks touring. The bleeding feet, fatigue and homesickness was allowed to grow and turn into a real drive and survival instinct in me, all to the soundtrack of Vitriol’s music.
I'm just starting this and I can already say that it is going to be a great talk with someone that needs some more shine in the scene these days. Dude is an absolute monster and a great conversation to boot. Cheers for having him on.
@@LP-ec7hw Most of what he made probably would have been close to what they charged him in the hospital tbh. If he didn't get a bill, he came out winning.
Just want to say thanks Garza for everything you do on this channel and the amount of time and effort you put in and the amazing guests you’ve had on. Hope all is well take care man❤️
Ya''ll went from gear, riffs, to covering the topic of addiction. The beauty of it is that it is between two real musicians that can relate and connect on a different level. Thanks for this guys. ♥
Upon discovering Vitriol and listening to Suffer and Become, I had an experience I've rarely felt from music. I found myself halfway through the album, just listening, and sort of coming out of this "trance" to discover I had been clenching my teeth and squeezing my hands together. The only way I can describe it was the first time you experience a really horrific intense movie or take a ride on a roller coaster. It was wild. I've been into extreme music since it began in the mid 80s or so and this was something different. Saw them on Chaos and Carnage and I could have left happy after their set. They are in it live. Support them!
Sick episode. I’d never heard of Kyle or Vitriol prior to this interview. Needless to say I’ve been listening to Vitriol all day now. Having the guitars is a really nice addition to the episode too.
YESSS I was waiting for this one to happen. Such an interesting guy. You wouldn’t expect such an intense person to be so nice but he couldn’t be more gracious. Matt and Adam as well. Hope to see them live again soon.
I am utterly heartbroken at the recent news. Adam, the original bass player is no longer in the band. They're pushing forward as a two-piece, it's such a travesty because this is one of the last real death metal bands in the scene right now at the forefront...
Goddam this has got to be the best Garza interview so far and that’s saying a lot. I really need to listen to more vitriol. I follow the vocalist on Instagram where he post a lot on guitars he find interesting and talks about its history. I learn a lot from all these guys.
Vitriol been my favorite band since last year! Brutal and hits right in the feels \m/ Also really enjoyed hearing about the mental health/therapy aspect. I myself am going through therapy and connect with the way Kyle articulates himself.
So many great takeaways from this interview. Two very insightful musicians, they vibed. You can tell they understand each others inner deamons and creative sides.
As a therapist and metalhead, I found this interview super interesting. I love how Kyle talks about the way we push away pain and “demons.” I am a fan of Jung’s work, especially exploring the shadow self. I’ve spent a lot of time getting to know my shadow self (the parts about me society says you should reject-E.g., Anger, sadness). It's rough but also crucial for being “whole.” ***But by the way, he is SPOT ON about therapy. I spend a lot of time explaining to clients that I don’t give advice & I don’t tell people what to do. Also, SHITTY therapists DO exist - but you have to keep looking! There is a therapist out there for you. You've got to be compatible and find someone with similar values.
Kyle is such a cool guy. I love how upfront he is about his flaws as a human, and he has such intriguing things to say about music and life and how they intertwine. Such a great interview.
I seen these guys in Baton Rouge first night of tour, they killed it. I will say i was lucky to catch the band with Adam and he kills the freaking bass. Great show
Wow. It was surreal hearing him mention Louisiana in the beginning of the interview. The atmosphere here is always kind of depressing for me, but it really is a hotbed for musicians
Such an awesome, in-depth interview! I love the riffs and ideas Kyle cooks up, really an outside the box player in the best way possible. I was so stoked to meet and talk to Kyle in 2021 when Vitriol came to Nashville. He's a kind and genuine dude, and being an introvert myself, I get the struggles of wanting to talk but also not. It took a lot for me just to go to their merch table, but I'm glad that I did, and it was a real honor to shake his hand. That's something I can never forget. So cool that you had him on the show!
Fuck yeah, another Interview with Kyle. Love listening to that dude talk (I even made a Playlist with Vitriol Interviews at some point, called... well, "Vitriol Interviews")
This is the best interview ever. It was like a Soft White Underbelly episode with guitar nerd shit. Kyle is definitely somewhere in the Cluster B personality types and it is always extremely interesting to get a view at their perspective, inner struggles and ways of dealing with life. People in that end of the distribution tend to be alienated, sometimes due to how they harm others, but it is never acceptable that we just forget about how they suffer and how anyone can come to those behavioral patterns. Assuming his words are honest and not a facade, he really has put enough investment into therapy to get realistic expectations from it, has managed to articulate his experiences like few of us can and seems to be coping successfully with the music. He has my admiration and compassion at a time where his band just lost a founding member, which most definitely will create setbacks in his mission. When a band mate like him leaves, it is the loss of a brother that you will mourn for a long time, mostly if you have a tendency towards guilt, like he described in this interview. I hope he can move on, accept what he can't change and maybe even become a solo project in terms of composition, which seems to be the case, as people with anti-social tendencies have limitations and not every deficiency can be transcended. There's a tragic aspect to our psychological development that is best dealt with acceptance, self-awareness and coping mechanisms. Developmental psychology has shown us that after our first 4 years of age, there are several aspects of our personality that simply become cemented and will not change throughout our lives. To commit to perpetual self-improvement is to use a two edged sword, as the returns on investment become exponentially smaller the higher the amount of time you put into it. Of course this is not a concern for most of us, as this is something you only have to contemplate when you have put so much effort through so much time to see virtually no improvements. A growth mentality does not make you limitless. Also, why has Death Metal become a disease again?? Didn't catch that at any point of the conversation.
That's a fascinating thought experiment, but it's one that fails to recognize the realities and nuances of trauma, and while yes, it's largely accepted that all personality disorders are in fact trauma disorders to some degree, the amalgam of complex and chronic trauma, the necessary, albeit often unhealthy, coping mechanisms that are a response to that trauma, and poor emotional regulation does not automatically a personality disorder make. It's unfair to speculate about someone's psychological state based solely on a collection of interviews or their own projections of shame or complicated self-image, and it's simply irresponsible to offer absolute diagnoses of any kind based on the same. It's equally as reckless to purport that individuals who do suffer from those disorders can't in fact make meaningful or lasting changes to their behaviors, schemas, and interpersonal relationships with appropriate and sustained treatment, something that Kyle clearly stated he's been receiving for the past several years, so I'd trust his current mental healthcare providers to make those informed determinations instead of musing about it in a comment section.
Sick interview, Kyle has his feet grounded and mind on the shreds 👊🏻 super bummed I’ll be missing Vitriol at FTA this weekend bc somebody made them play Thursday 😩
Kyle, I had a blowout too and almost died. Ended up having to have a resection like you. As someone who’s been through it, I fully understand your experience. I’m glad you made it through to continue to make music for us!
Anyone else watching this after Kyle announced Adam is leaving the band? Kind of a bummer seeing him gush over the dynamic between him & Adam after seeing the announcement of his departure. Hope it all gets sorted cuz I love seeing these two playing off each other.
@@satricon yeah just saw Adam’s vid about the issue on IG. It’s a bummer but im confident there’ll be plenty of savage music coming out of both camps for some time to come.
@@ericroyal7142 yeah, its honestly tragic. From the outside they seemed like brothers through thick and thin. And Adam has a big impact on the sound with his crazy bass playing and almost half the vocals. That said, i’d be surprised if adams own project gets off the ground at all. Kyle was the main force and vision behind Vitriol.
This was really potent and familiar to hear. The varying foundations that have been experienced through the many walks of life & lenses. I like to call it gray-walker. And those are values I respect and live by. I dig the realness madly. Thank you.
I followed Kyle for years on IG before I even knew about he's band and knew about some health scares he's had and always liked he's output and think he's a pretty cool guy. Looking forward to this one.
So rad to see his pedalboard, I'm the same I'm just a pedal junkie man. The modeling game is definitely crazy nowadays but I just love a tube head and a stacked pedal board.. maybe I'm just getting old
Vitriol´s album this year was so fucking sick. All their albums are sick and their old deathcore band was also sick. Also, Garza, if you want some black metal that doesnt sound "bad", go listen to GAEREA, White Ward, Der Weg Einer Freiheit, there is a lot of bands of black metal that actually sound like not recorded on a potato. Loved this whole episode.
Now that I finished it. I had no idea he had a pill addiction. Methadone was my drug of choice for years. Horrible ten year long addiction that eventually just led to “more” being my drug of choice. Went to rehab for the second time and have been clean since 5/27/08. I stay clean with a 12 step program and I can’t imagine any other way to do it, but I know it’s not the only way. I commend him for being able to go the self-will route. I wonder what he’s talking about when he says he was high writing the entire new album though. Hopefully just weed?
Kyle fucking Rasmussen. That man has brought some freshness to modern death metal with his solos. What a well spoken and genuine dude.
MORE INTERVIEWS WITH RIFFS 😍 I’m trying to hear more of that Fender 7
Angel Vivaldi? 7 vs 7
Same. I'm trying to get one too lol.
@@Ryo7_7I think he begged fender for years before they made him one
For sure, sick format
Love Garza but Christ the Fender 7 is ugly AF
Vitriol is seriously one of the most underrated modern death metal bands. They deserve every bit of recognition they get and more
They’re really not. Someone like immolation is underrated. These guy are ok, blends in with everything else.
Garza lets people talk which is great and unusual these days.
@@MortalFear-mt4ov Because he s a musician himself
He's great interviewer. Letting your guest talk most and you just navigating where the topic land without intervene his talk
Kyle is such a well spoken, and genuinely brilliant person. Thank you for bringing him on!
It's funny to think that if you talk the way he does which clearly he tries to come off pretentious that people actually think you're well spoken and intelligent.
@@jaysongaymer1975 you obviously haven't watched multiple interviews from kyle.
Absolutely agree
@@jaysongaymer1975 its music f*ckface. Its all pretentious. People from your year sure do seem up their own ass or flat out retar*ed; no in between.
Well, that was a learning experience. I like that Kyle doesn't just keep talking excessively because he can. If he needs to take a pause and think about it first, he methodically does.
But this episode is sick I got the privilege to see vitriol on this year's chaos and carnage they were amazing

Hands down one of the best interviews I've ever seen. It's refreshing to see someone be so vulnerable.
Thank you for bringing Kyle on! Vitriol is the best death metal band around and Kyle is such a cool dude.
I'm just starting this and I can already say that it is going to be a great talk with someone that needs some more shine in the scene these days. Dude is an absolute monster and a great conversation to boot. Cheers for having him on.
Aw man what a great interview.
Also, the fact that he didn’t sue the hospital after his experience is wild but kuddos to him. Great guy.
@@LP-ec7hw Most of what he made probably would have been close to what they charged him in the hospital tbh. If he didn't get a bill, he came out winning.
Vitriol is insanely good live.
Great music and musicians all around.
Just want to say thanks Garza for everything you do on this channel and the amount of time and effort you put in and the amazing guests you’ve had on. Hope all is well take care man❤️
I appreciate that. Life is good man. Take care out there. -GaЯza
@@GarzaPodcast yea for sure man thanks, looking forward to see you guys at mayhem fest in SB💯
YES, so hyped for this one. Kyle is one of the most well spoken and insane guitarist in contemporary Death Metal
Please do more interviews like this with riffs from the guests!!!! This was awesome!
Ya''ll went from gear, riffs, to covering the topic of addiction. The beauty of it is that it is between two real musicians that can relate and connect on a different level. Thanks for this guys. ♥
Kyle is such a great guy loved the chat between two great musicians that get each other. Metal on metal on metal. You're too good to us, Chris.
Kyle is so fucking smart. The way he is able to articulate things that I’ve felt but never been able to put into words is insane. Great convo.
What an absolutely incredible human. EXTREMELY well spoken and intelligent. Unbelievable respect for Kyle. His self awareness is admirable.
Love watching interviews with Kyle. Interesting and intelligent dude
Awesome one Garza!
Yesss!! Kyle reinvigorated my love for death metal. Suffer and become is a masterpiece.
Vitriol is so awesome! Great interview!

Suffer and Become has been heavy in my rotation and likely will be for a damn long time!
what song has the clean part that comes before the beautiful blast beat?
Haven't been this excited about a Garza episode since the first one. Awesome to hear Kyle give early Chris Barnes his due
I probably listened to this three times. Powerful episode. Great job Garza and team.
LEZZ FAWKIN GOOoOoOoO, bro -
KYLE is a shredder and a virtuoso!!!!
Vitriol are a massive talent.
Sick episode. I’d never heard of Kyle or Vitriol prior to this interview. Needless to say I’ve been listening to Vitriol all day now. Having the guitars is a really nice addition to the episode too.

Kyle Rasmussen=the future of Death Metal!
He needs more support/sponsorship also more band members would help lol
This podcast saved me from a panic attack at work today. Thank you
Panic attacks are no joke. Hope you are well.
This was so powerful, thank you Kyle for being so open
This is what we need. Thanks guys.

Very cool seeing Kyle go over the intro! Seconding the comments wanting more playing (in whatever form) on the podcast.
Kyle is such a cool guy. I love how upfront he is about his flaws as a human, and he has such intriguing things to say about music and life and how they intertwine. Such a great interview.
Played many shows with him when he was in Those who lie Beneath. They were ahead of their time. His new stuff is the new level
Thank you for the Interview. Saw Vitriol live in Essen, Germany!
I seen these guys in Baton Rouge first night of tour, they killed it. I will say i was lucky to catch the band with Adam and he kills the freaking bass. Great show

greetingzzz from Croatia
This bro is the man!!
Amazing conversation!!!
I loved the substance of the questions you bring up.
Kyle is a very unique person.
Best podcast so far. Loved listening to this man talk and play. Also they ripped on chaos and carnage 😤
Thank you Garza and Kyle for a magical podcast
Loved this interview!
This was one great interview. Awesome band
What a fucking conversation holy moley. Genuinely thank you guys so much for this.

I rarely watch anything that last 2hrs, but this is well worth it if You're into extreme metal and extreme humans behind it.
I love Kyle’s collection of warriors Especially his ‘90 warriors. They’re beautiful
Fuck yeah, another Interview with Kyle. Love listening to that dude talk (I even made a Playlist with Vitriol Interviews at some point, called... well, "Vitriol Interviews")

I hate this word, because a lot of people use it totally wrong, but this band is painfully underrated.
his guitar stuffs are focking insane! can't with to see him in Copenhagen they are touring soon!
The riffs!! 🤯🤯❤
Sick interview, Kyle has his feet grounded and mind on the shreds 👊🏻 super bummed I’ll be missing Vitriol at FTA this weekend bc somebody made them play Thursday 😩
Awesome interview. It is an absolute honor seeing vitriol live.
true story. That custom blood splatter burning spirit is the last one I made. Maybe ill make more if anyones interested.

That pedal board though. Great episode. 🤘🏼
This has to be one of my favorite episodes.
Love that intro man
Never expected to hear a Dodheimsgard reference. 🎉
18:27 I guess we all can relate to that one time when we were young and discovered a new band, thinking, "That's where the present sound is like."
Super underrated band. Saw them this year and they fuckin’ killed.
Thank you Kyle, I needed to hear quite a bit of this.
Being a drummer my self love heavy metal drumming but was raised on Mexican Banda and norteño so that's my biggest influence of drumming
