Thank you so much for having us, and especially for the kind words about us and "Wide Open." You're a legend, and hearing you dig us so much is the coolest thing. Glad to be friends, man!
You guys seem so down to earth this felt like a honest and real conversation. I really have enjoyed your music. I hope to see you guys live, come to Denver.
@@mikemorris2625 Thanks Mike! Glad you think so. We'll be there with Chelsea Grin, Carnifex and Left to Suffer! Tickets here if you want to come: holdmyticket.com/event/409635
@@GarzaPodcast Mate you're absolutely killing it with the podcasts. You found a niche. For some reason nobody else gets all those extreme metal bands on a podcast format where you can really get to know them. Usually it's just 5 minute interviews without substance. Your podcast format however allows for proper conversations where you guys can have a profound discussion or simply goof around and nerd out. That's ace!
Awesome pod cast!! I just checked these guys out. Really good stuff! 39:39 Yeah.. I remember "Pay to Play". It still happens unfortunately.. My band "HEAVE" did that for "Psycroptic", "Decrepit Birth" and "Fallujah" here at "The Whiskey a go go" last year. And then back in the day, when I joined a band in high school called [Omitted]. An "LA Hood" version of "Suicide Silence" and "Cannibal Corpse". Back in the day we paid to open up for bands like "Volumes" and "Glass Cloud".. Also at "The Whiskey".. With a $500 "Pay to Play" deposit fee where they give you tickets that YOU and the band have to sell or else they pocket the deposit money. Then you have to give back the reminding tickets to get your deposit back before you play on stage. It's great opening up for cool bands but the price needs to come down or the venues need to stop pocketing all the money. Venues even ask for a percentage of the band merch sales. Even with selling a lot of merch, bands today still struggle. Then you have venues that completely ignore the local metal acts in general like "The House of Blues" (Sunset location gone!) and "The Wiltern". Maybe back in the day "The Key Club", Old "Knitting Factory", were more open to having local metal acts here in the "Los Angeles/Hollywood area" but those places are gone now. Hopefully it can change so more heavy acts get a chance to get out there. Stay Brutal!
I used to get debilitating stomach pains at random all the time. It all stopped when I gave up energy drinks. There really is some terrible stuff in that. I switched to 5 hour energy years ago. It's a better burst of energy too. No jitters, no crash cuz there's no sugar. Also, I love this podcast. Keep it up!
(SIC) video. Ricky and Mitch had always been my 2 favourite vocalists ever since I started listening to deathcore in around 2008. Glad to see Ov Sulfur killing it.
Badass interview. Saw dimmu borgir with devildriver,Kataklysm, and unearth in San Antonio back in the day at Graham Central Station. Love the Ov Sulfur sound. Can't wait to check you guys live one day
I was there! Damn time flies. I remember devildriver got their set cut early after like 4 songs because of the moshpit, so they made everyone pit before they got off, and security couldn't control it, lol
@@TexasLiveMetal Yeah bro that was badass. Love the energy devildriver brings. Saw devildriver open for gwar one time at the house of blues, and security was trying to stop the moshing. That didn't happen they got caught up in meet the wretched lol
1:10:00 I'm the same. I listen to albums and love them but I don't look up song titles (unless it's a grindcore album because the titles are usually hilarious). If it's good it's good. Recently listened to three albums of The Red Chord and couldn't name you one song but I loved the albums. Annoys me when people act like knowing song titles is a requirement of being a fan of a band
seen dimmu with behemoth and keep of kalessin open for them in a smallerish venue in columbus and got to meet all of dimmu except shagrath..... vortex made me look so small such a big dude with a big voice
Loving your podcast, so much. Love that the guys are talking about Synthwave. Bands to check out Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Dance With The Dead, Gost.
I know some Hardcore purists are quick to write off cleans but there's a way to do it and not detract from the heaviness. Whitechapel's been doing it for years now and I honestly think Kin is their best album so far.
The music they make is so freaking good. This podcast also had me laughing a ton 🤣 Also, gate keeping is bullshit. Just let people enjoy good music! 🤘 Edit: I think clean singing in deathcore is fine as long as it is done well too. There is so much hate and no where does it say you can't have cleans...
Ok after my second rewatch, I caught you were talking to Bradley Zorgdrager aka Bradseed extraordinaire from Banger off screen. Have you seen his review of the self titled SS album? It did not hold back.
Yep! I first connected with Chris after Scott from Carnifex (for whom I work) was on the podcast, and I asked Scott if he thought Garza would want to interview Ricky. Garza texted me and said he was interested, so I asked if I could call him and was very upfront about what I'd said about SS. I thought it was the right thing to do, to mention it in case he didn't want to do something to help my career after I had reviewed something that he had done negatively, which could have negatively impacted his career. I was very humbled by Chris' levelheaded response to it, we chatted for another hour and a half, and have been friends since!
Great band these guys are killing it, but I hate that edgy “we wanna piss ppl off” mentality. In my opinion clean singing just completely takes you out of deathcore that’s not deathcore anymore but that’s not to say the music is bad that’s not an insult. Deathcore is a genre many people, myself included, grew up with and hold near and dear to our hearts and it’s a genre that has never incorporated any sort of clean singing I hate to be one of those guys but there really is no place for clean singing in deathcore. It would be like Cannibal Corpse doing clean vocals and still calling themselves death metal it just doesn’t work. That’s not to take away from how talented these guys are they’re doing amazing but to me they’re just making Metal music at the end of the day it’s not deathcore.
just FYI, cleans have been in deathcore since the beginning, just off the top of my head: shapeshifter EP (2008) from the contortionist, triumph EP (2010) from lorna shore, bedsprings and bloodshed demo (2005) from salt the wound, awaken the dreamers (2008) from all shall perish, the list goes on. I think its silly to say ONE specific style of sound completely negates the genre, especially because deathcore is crossover of hardcore and deathmetal, and hardcore has plenty of "clean" vocals. You'd be hard pressed and look like a clown to try to argue any of those bands/releases i mentioned "arent deathcore".
Thank you so much for having us, and especially for the kind words about us and "Wide Open." You're a legend, and hearing you dig us so much is the coolest thing. Glad to be friends, man!
Love you dudes

These dudes have the best connection between each other. Like they're all best friends. Saw them live in Baltimore, and they were INCREDIBLE
I fucking love garzas podcasts man, as a huge metal fan & podcast listener, these are like god tier content
I just found this channel last month. I got some many episodes to binge!
WHAT A BAD ASS INTERVIEW!!1! So damn good.
28:45 haha this was a good one Garza
🤘😆🤘🎸
I love these dudes, hope to see them live one day
I saw these guys open up for Lorna Shore in Philly back in October and they were awesome!!! Come back to Philly!
I’ve watched a bunch of your interviews, and these guys seem like they’re best friends lol you gotta love that. I’m gonna check these guys out

Hell yea I can’t wait to watch this episode
I LOVE Ricky's vocals on the Bludgeoned tribute
I saw Dimmu Borgir twice at little venues back in the day and they were so awesome. If/when they come back, I'm definitely seeing then again.
Great episode. TONS of laughs, but really tough to see Ricky getting so emotional. Mad respect & love for this band!
You can do whatever you want in deathcore. No ones stopping you.
Oh, and come to Canada soon! I want some merch!
Ricky Hoover is a fucking legend. He doesnt get the respect he deserves for his days in suffocate. All the success Ov Sulfur sees is truly deserved.
(SIC) video.
Ricky and Mitch had always been my 2 favourite vocalists ever since I started listening to deathcore in around 2008. Glad to see Ov Sulfur killing it.
Saw these dudes the other day with Signs of the Swarm! Never heard of them but they killed it! Big fan!
Just noticed the dude wearing a knights of the abyss shirt. Dragon pie played in my head immediately. Brought back so many memories.
Sorry for you loss!
It's an amazing song and video.
Nicest guys ever!!! 🖤
Great guys. Been listening to them since the beginning. I knew they would get huge because they have an original sound that exceeds genre boundaries
Got a shoe singed by ov sulphur when I seen them with Lorna in Detroit these guys are fr some of the nicest guys ever

Ov sulfur is such a great band
Idk why you guys are acting like they're the first deathcore band to use clean singing. Literally, that's what metalcore is.
Met Ricky wayyyyyy back in the day when Suffokate toured with ABACABB and Sworn Enemy. He's a cool ass dude
Ricky and Chase rule! love the band!

This shit made my day 🤘🏻 gonna listen to the new album now
Levi is so effortlessly funny 🤣
I saw these guys, Left to Suffer, and Carnifex in Kentucky. It was a fucking experience.
seen dimmu with behemoth and keep of kalessin open for them in a smallerish venue in columbus and got to meet all of dimmu except shagrath..... vortex made me look so small such a big dude with a big voice
Loving your podcast, so much. Love that the guys are talking about Synthwave. Bands to check out Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Dance With The Dead, Gost.
Suicide Silence are definitely undeniably pioneers of deathcore
Slice the cake has shown cleans have a place in deathcore
What kind of mic stands are these? 👀 looking to get a desk mic stand for my sm7b and those look perfect!
I know some Hardcore purists are quick to write off cleans but there's a way to do it and not detract from the heaviness. Whitechapel's been doing it for years now and I honestly think Kin is their best album so far.
Chris are you wear a super joint long sleeve?

I hate Vortex clean vocals in dimmu i stopped listening to them
clean singing in deathcore is realy terrible and it doesn't fit
