This week's guest is Devin Shidaker, guitarist of The Acacia Strain. In this chat we go over his love for CKY, his journey into guitar, his first metalcore/deathcore band 1931, the 2000s deathcore scene & the myspace era. We reflect about his time in Oceano and Rose Funeral, The Acacia Strain's latest record You Are Safe From God Here, songwriting, collaboration, nostalgia & the band's longevity. We go over some of his current favorite bands, his picks for heaviest bands of all time, and of course: we answer the question; is The Acacia Strain a deathcore band? All that and SO much more in this near-3 hour conversation.

This week we are joined by Kyle Anderson, frontman of deathcore powerhouse Brand Of Sacrifice. The band recently dropped two brand new songs, their first releases in over two and a half years. We go over the reasons behind the gap, internal band struggles, upcoming music & more. We also talk at length about the myspace deathcore revival, what we all think the next wave of deathcore will be & the band's experimentation over the years. Lastly, we couldn't not talk about anime... so we go over some Berserk lore, anime not being cool in the 90s, his personal favorite series, oldschool vs newschool animation styles & more.
