    S.19 E.04 – Josh Middleton of Sylosis

    Send us Fan Mail We sat down with Josh Middleton of Sylosis to talk about their crushing new full-length The New Flesh, out now via Nuclear Blast Records. Now seven albums deep into a career spanning more than two decades, the band returns with a record that sharpens their identity into something heavier, leaner, and more immediate—driven by instinct, urgency, and the raw excitement of writing riffs that feel as powerful in the room as they do on record. Throughout the conversation, we explored how that mindset shaped the album’s balance between crushing heaviness and lasting memorability, while also diving into its more personal themes—ranging from fatherhood and time on the road to mortality and perspective. Rather than settling into veteran status, Sylosis approach this chapter as a renewed push forward, refining their sound, rejecting trends, and doubling down on what they’ve always done best: delivering purposeful, hard-hitting metal that continues to evolve without losing its core.

    S.19 E.03 – Davey Oberlin of All The Damn Vampires

    Send us Fan Mail Let's enter the world of nostalgia and synthwave. On this episode of IUF, we sit down with Davey Oberlin, the creative force behind All The Damn Vampires, to talk about his debut full-length album VICECORE, out now worldwide. The independently released record blends cinematic synthwave, gothic atmosphere, and alternative metal into a sound that feels both immersive and intensely personal. We dive into Davey’s journey from years of touring as a hired musician to building a project entirely of his own, where he wrote, performed, produced, and mixed the album himself while crafting a complete visual and sonic world around it. Our conversation explores the creative turning points that led to All The Damn Vampires, the influence of his background in animation and visual storytelling, and how those cinematic instincts shaped the atmosphere and pacing of VICECORE. We also talk about burnout, artistic identity, and what it means to reclaim authorship after years of supporting roles in major acts — as well as where the world of All The Damn Vampires could go next now that VICECORE is out and listeners everywhere can finally step into it.

    Send us Fan Mail In this final episode of season 18, we sat down with Daniel Wand of Capsize to talk about the band’s long-awaited return and the release of their new Under a Hollow Sky EP, out now via Roux & Ruin Records. After years of sporadic single releases, Daniel reflected on why returning to a physical EP format felt essential, allowing the band to tell a complete story for the first time since 2016’s A Reintroduction: The Essence Of All That Surrounds Me. We discussed the creative and emotional weight behind tracks like “The Fracture” and the EP’s title song, the freedom that came with signing to Roux & Ruin Records, and recently working with producers Matt Good and Cody Stewart. Daniel also opened up about accountability, internal struggle, and maintaining full creative control—both sonically and visually—as Capsize step into a more intentional and fully realized new chapter. So much more to come from these guys. Under A Hollow Sky is out now worldwide via Roux & Ruin Records.

    S.18 E.19 - Interview with Volumes

    Send us Fan Mail We sat down with Volumes vocalists Michael Barr and Myke Terry to reflect on the band’s journey from their 2009 Los Angeles beginnings to the release of their fifth album, Mirror Touch, out via Fearless Records. We looked back on the trials, lineup changes, and dedication that shaped Volumes into one of modern metalcore’s most distinctive voices, while also diving into their live energy, touring life, and the bands that continue to inspire them. The conversation explored the writing process behind Mirror Touch, the pressure and responsibility that comes with longevity, and how the album represents a full evolution of the Volumes sound — blending groove, atmosphere, polyrhythmic heaviness, and unmistakable swagger. Michael and Myke also opened up about balancing dual vocal roles, working again with producer Daniel Braunstein, the album’s striking visual identity, and the deeply human themes running through the lyrics. Mirror Touch stands as both a celebration of Volumes’ past and a confident step into their future.  Mirror Touch is out now worldwide via Fearless Records.
