  • PODCAST: Episode 994 - Fresh Ink and Heavy Riffs With Incite's "El" at New York Hardcore Tattoos
    Jun 22 2026

    Ojayy dropped by New York Hardcore Tattoos with Incite bassist "El" for a conversation that goes way beyond the music. El, a tattoo artist himself, sits down with artist Chui Kanela to get some fresh ink while discussing the culture and craft of tattooing, the relationship between heavy metal and tattoo culture, and the band's album Savage New Times, released on August 15, 2025, through Reigning Phoenix Music.


    It's a raw, relaxed hang in one of New York's most respected tattoo shops. The kind of conversation that only happens when the needle is running. NYHC Tattoos was co-founded by Vinnie Stigma of Agnostic Front and Jimmy Gestapo of Murphy's Law.

  • PODCAST: Episode 990 - Floyd Nation's Will Kaiser on "Inner Light," Abbey Road, and Reimagining Wish You Were Here
    Jun 17 2026

    @GhostCultKeefy666⁩ caught up with Will Kaiser of ⁨@floydnationlive⁩ ( ⁨@pinkfloyd⁩ tribute band) to discuss the band's debut album "Inner Light," released May 29, 2026, self-funded through a ⁨@kickstarter⁩ campaign that hit its initial goal in under forty-eight hours. The pair break down what it meant to track a ten-song record inside Studio 3 at ⁨@abbeyroad⁩ Studios, the exact room where Pink Floyd recorded "Wish You Were Here" fifty years prior, and how the band captured an authentic mid-Seventies analog texture using period-specific vintage instruments throughout the sessions.

    "Inner Light" covers the entirety of Wish You Were Here while weaving in three original compositions, including lead single "Watching the Sunrise," written as a narrative continuation of hope following the loss and longing at the heart of the original Pink Floyd record. The highest-tier Kickstarter backers flew out to London to witness the sessions firsthand. Physical copies are currently available through Floyd Nation's live VIP ticket packages as part of the ongoing Inner Light Tour.
