I sat down with my dear old friend Joel Birch during The Amity Affliction's 2026 Australian regional tour to share some laughs and tears while discussing his life of struggle, the dramatic events leading up to their seriously heavy new album 'House of Cards', and where the metalcore legends go from here as a newly self-managed band.

43. IGOR AMADEUS CAVALERA: Heavy Metal Inheritance (CAVALERA, NAILBOMB, GO AHEAD AND DIE, HEALING MAGIC)

I had a cool chat with the insightful Young Igor Cavalera at Froth & Fury Festival about his life growing up as the son of heavy metal legends Max and Gloria Cavalera, his own journey of musical and political discovery, performing the Sepultura classics alongside his father and uncle in Cavalera, reactivating Nailbomb with his Dad, as well as his others projects Go Ahead And Die and Healing Magic.

41. STUART ROSS: A Legacy Finalized, A Legacy Enduring (MISERY SIGNALS, COMEBACK KID)

Canadian hardcore legends Comeback Kid were at Froth & Fury Festival in Adelaide to celebrate 20 years of 'Wake The Dead', but I was mostly interested in talking to guitarist Stu Ross about about his pioneering metalcore band Misery Signals and their decision to put a full stop on an incredible legacy with one final tour back in 2024.
