    Luca Diadul: Passing the Death Test

    I hang out with Luca Diadul and frequent collaborators Aly Castle and Zack Smith at a recording session at Honey House Records. We talk about Luca's approach to vocal production, songwriting, and arrangement.

  • Moros: We're Pushing Air at You No Matter What

    Moros: We're Pushing Air at You No Matter What
    May 9 2026
    Moros, a Philly-based doomy, sludgy death metal band, invites me to a rehearsal and shares their thoughts on crafting a big sound with just three people, developing gory, nightmarish lyrics, and assembling the right band for the job. The "E" for explicit on this episode is well-earned, so listener discretion is advised.

    Check out Moros live at Underground Arts with Worm and Cape of Bats on June 16th, and pick up Cemetery Hallucinations on vinyl, cassette, or CD.
