Melvins vs. Napalm Death: Savage Imperial Death March & Noise vs. Groove

Grindcore pioneers Napalm Death and sludge legends Melvins come together for a rare three-way conversation that's as chaotic, funny and insightful as you'd hope.

Puscifer's Normal Isn't: Carina Round Gets Elbows Deep in Creativity, Chaos & Joy

Carina Round from Puscifer joins We Wreck Records for a conversation that goes way beyond the music. We get into the psychology of creating under pressure, the strange balance between darkness and joy, and what it really means to build something meaningful with other people.

From feminine energy in heavy music, to the chaos of the pandemic, to carving out beauty when life gets difficult - this is a deep, thoughtful and unexpectedly funny conversation about art, identity and staying creatively alive.

Primitive Man's Observance: Death Sludge, Occult Art & Surviving the Surveillance State

Ethan Lee McCarthy of Primitive Man joins host Christina Rowatt to talk about the band's devastating album Observance and the ideas behind their uniquely oppressive sound. In this conversation, Ethan explains why Primitive Man rejected the limitations of traditional doom metal and coined their own term – "death sludge." He dives into the band's sonic philosophy, from crafting guitar tones that feel like "the surface of the sun" to drawing influence from artists as diverse as Portishead, industrial music and film soundtracks. The conversation moves from sound to worldview. Ethan discusses the themes driving Observance, including techno-feudalism, the surveillance state and the growing influence of authoritarian politics around the world. Primitive Man's music may be punishingly heavy, but it's rooted in a deep awareness of the human condition. Along the way, Ethan also shares a surprising origin story: how drawing demonic imagery as a child led to accusations of satan worship in his religious household – and ultimately pushed him toward picking up the guitar. It's a conversation about extreme music, art, politics and the strange paths that lead people to create the soundtrack to the end of the world.
