The Heavyist #226 Tony From Crippling Alcoholism
Crippling Alcoholism put out one of our favourite albums of late with "With Love From A Padded Room absolute". The band is Tony's brainchild that has evolved into this brilliant force and i'm very stoked to have him on for a good chat. We talk the album, it's concept, the production, influences and more. This was really bloody cool, thanks to Tony for hangin!

It's an absolutely packed episode of the show this week! We crammed as much in as we possibly could as Gary is going away for a couple of weeks but couldn't bear the thought missing out on talking about some records that are released while he's away.

also as an extra special treat we are also joined by Elias, guitarist of amazing Swedish modern metal band Orecus (and dedicated Heavyist) to talk about the writing and recording process of their magnificent new record Dreadnought (released April 5th independently)

Customer Reviews
10 blast beats out of 10
This podcast has been one of the few things keeping me insane throughout this unholy year. The boys never fail to entertain me, and the constant stream of unadulterated bangers that they recommend every week has been an absolute blessing. I’ve expanded my musical taste so much over the past 10 months of listening and have discovered so many gnarly bands because of Gary and Sonny. I honestly can’t think of two better dudes to have as my premier riff dealers! This pod is an instant 10/10 recommend from me
Excellent Podcast to Expand your Music Horizons
Sonny and Gary are a blast to listen to. They are probably the 2 best salesmen on planet Earth. The way they talk about the albums on their podcasts is like listening to kids in a candy store. Seriously, you could not even like heavy music, but after listening to one episode of this podcast i promise you will at least try to listen to some heavy music. These guys could suddenly stop talking about music and start trying to sell me a timeshare in the middle of a corn field in Nebraska and I’m pretty sure after listening to how hyped they got about that timeshare, I will be frothing at the mouth to buy one. Great Energy! Kept it up!
Sick dudes covering sick tunes
The alter of radness is the one and only place you need to visit in order to get all of your dark fulfilling needs. Sonny and Gary give you the most absolute bangin tunes to listen to while always keeping the humor alive too. Best music podcast out there for sure 🤘🏻
