Taaaaaaaaaape on that mouth shut! Pretty silly, pretty dumb to call someone a poser who has been heavily involved in the extreme metal scene for three decades brah brah. Sven lives and breathes grind and metal
@@ManuSDP hahaha telling it and SHOWING it on camera i have 2 maybe even 3 photos with him. Will dig up and show and stuff is 100% signed. If grandpa memory don't remember than hey "THATS ON YOU DUDE!!!!"
Sven is a hommie! I fucking love Vault of Horrors! Sven, if you ever see this comment, I want YOU to know that I thoroughly enjoyed Vault of Horrors! Great job on the record!
Great interview. I interviewed him for a website I was writing for back around 2009 when that Icelandic volcano went off and they were supposed to play with The Red Chord but it grounded all flights and even bands from Europe were having problems getting in. He is a stellar dude and super lovely. Aborted are also so great live, like so much fun. That new album is on constant repeat too, fucking bangers.
It always wigged me out the way Dutch and Belgian people basically sound like Americans, but there's just a SLIGHT European bent to it. I'm friends with the Textures guys and always just felt like I was talking to some friends from home.
Crazy to realize Sven is OG right now - I remember discovering Goremaggeddon in 2006. So brutal carcassesque flavour it has. Also, shootout to Sven's participation in In-quest band catalogue - Epileptic. Still mine band's favorite
Remembered Sven during the myspace days.. he has this page that designs brutal album art for avulsed, his other band lengtche, etc.. those were really cool and brootal 🤘🏽
my favorite Death Metal band. love his vocals. and is so cool that he talk about strychnine. he vaguely mentioned in an interview that he hated that album but never said why... I thought that it would be cool if strychnine get remixed.
@@corycourtney8923 as soon as you notice the “missteps” that Sven mentioned, such as the half speed recording, it changes the whole listening experience. The guitars sound so weird lol.
I love listening to this podcast when doing driving related things related to my job. Missed ya last week! Love all the Ernie segments. I can't count how much music you've pointed me to since you started doing this! It's bout time to have the hogfather on! I hope you can get Johnny Franck on sometime soon!
I found deathcore and death metal through Slaughter to Prevail. Now I'm listening to all the myspace deathcore and death metal bands and going back to the 80s and 90s bands
SS in general need to break out more. It's gotten a bit stale. They need to go f ing nuts and do a split album with a slam band or add grindcore elements or whatever to their sound on an EP. Just anything that breathes new life into their music. Just stay away from the cleans. I know for a fact that the SS base player listens to all the sick new underground bands like PeelingFlesh, Corpse Pile, Bodybox, Paleface Swiss, Disfiguring the Goddess, Sanguisubogg ... maybe do a collab with one of them
I bought Slaughter & Apparatus the year at FYE the year it came out, all because the the logo looked sick. I had never heard of them before and it was some of the most extreme music I'd ever heard. I've been a fan ever since
I was at that aborted show at the showcase. I believe Exhumed played. I'm 50% sure I still have the flyer in storage. I remember there were a lot of fights between metalheads and deathcore kids
That albums shreds hard and came out during a rough time in my life and will always be my favorite aborted album and I'm a huge fan of their whole catalog!
@@joshuastephens1293 there are definitely some bangers on this one, and I vivdly remember the summer it was released, oh the memories. Looking back on all their discography, I have to admit that the albums released with the Slaughter/Strychnine line up are the weakest (IMO). Bangers but filler songs as well, that kinda make the album mid.
12:00 this wasn't a problem exclusive to Belgium. It was and to a degree still is a problem in the European black metal scene in general. NSBM is definitely a thing. I assume it's different in the US black metal scene because Garza was so surprised to hear that.
he was spot on about that black metal neo nazi topic. it really was a thing. glad it died down pretty quickly though. i'd say by the mid 00's it was already on it's way out and by the end of that decade it was more or less gone
Terrorvision is my favourite album from them, the new material is too much deathcore for me, but still great band. I hope they will back to their roots
Garza if you’re trying to learn how to scream there are two great instructors on UA-cam. Extreme Metal Vocal Institute (iirc), and Kardavox Academy. You’ll learn so much from those two channels alone
it's not 2 dollars for a beer. it's 2 dollars for a belgian beer! that is the truly ridiculous part. because some of their beers are the best in the world
J-dawg really must have struck a nerve for this guy to still be bitter over something that happened in 2022. And then to use the old "mom's basement" insult. Oh brother. Give me a break.
I hope the new SS album is leaning more towards death metal/slam. I know it’s a reach but I feel if they did something so brutal everyone on all sides (hardcore,death metal, deathcore) would go crazy for it!!
Idea in regards to the Taylor swift idea: do a Suicide Silence , “Suicide Silence’s version” of your self titled and completely redo the album heavy af for all the naysayers. I personally don’t have a problem with the album or musical exploration, but think it would be a cool idea.
he should look at western europe now and listen to Skrewdriver's song - Invasion or other, and stop talkin bullshit about neo-nazis - 'coz it was the same nonsense as sex pistols
Yes Sven you met me in 2001 Ohio deathfest, have photo to prove it and “purity of perversion” lp and cd signed by you and all the other members 😊
Taaaaaaaaaape on that mouth shut! Pretty silly, pretty dumb to call someone a poser who has been heavily involved in the extreme metal scene for three decades brah brah. Sven lives and breathes grind and metal

Sven is such a bro. So chill, laid back.
I love this podcast cos the youthful enthusiasm of the host is a great counterbalance to the mellowness of the old school guests
The VAULT OF HORRORS ALBUM IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2024
Great interview. I interviewed him for a website I was writing for back around 2009 when that Icelandic volcano went off and they were supposed to play with The Red Chord but it grounded all flights and even bands from Europe were having problems getting in.

Btw Sven is the best . Such a chill , hard working human
Sick guest! Used to be a huge Aborted fan but lost track of em, great reminder to dive back in
New album SLAYS
I highly recommend their new album. Best thing they released in a long time. I was blown away by it
@TimmyTurner421 Nope, our album slaps
@@200WIMPWOUNDS lol the new 200 Stab Wounds album slaps too
@@TimmyTurner421checked it out, they still got it haha. I’m back in it!
Saw them on the Archspire tour... Absolutely killed it! Great interview tho, really enjoyed this one. Sven rules!
Saw them live the other week! Always a killer show!
Oh yeah definitely watching this from beginning to end now. Sven is one of the OG extreme metal vocalists and still at the top of his game
Love from South Africa
I can't stop playing their new record 🇿🇦
@@rayjr1367 Saw them both times they visited SA. Were you able to catch them?
Aborted is one of the best bands I ever saw live
The legend himself!
Oh shit my favorite vocalist 💪💪 plus favorite band aborted 🖤
It always wigged me out the way Dutch and Belgian people basically sound like Americans, but there's just a SLIGHT European bent to it. I'm friends with the Textures guys and always just felt like I was talking to some friends from home.
Sven is a complete OG. What a cool ass dude 🤘🏼 can't wait to see em next year
Sven callin out the dawg brah brah! Were back 😆
His vocals are sick. I don’t know how I didn’t know of them sooner.
can't wait for the UK tour!
I was never a big Aborted fan until I saw them live last month. They were amazing! Happy to see Sven on the cast.
Saw them on the tour with Suffocation, Cryptopsy, Despised Icon, and Cattle Decapitation in 2005.
Crazy to realize Sven is OG right now - I remember discovering Goremaggeddon in 2006. So brutal carcassesque flavour it has.

So many sweet memories (X-mass Fest, No Mercy Fest, ...). See you around Mister Svencho!
Aborted is such a great band , great interview chris.
Don't let J Dawg see SVEN wearing that shirt on stage or in a band photo . Lol
I know right, this jo-jo doesn't fit the bill.
@@NocturnalSummoning45 too late dawg already mocked him for it,a bit desperate if you ask me.
Too late brah brah

Thank you for this, Sven is the man.
Also always thought aborted was the best band name. Loved hearing the story behind it 🍻
I love Sven! He is such a cool guy!
I really liked Strychnine.213. That was my first Aborted album. Their perceived missteps are better than a lot of bands best stuff.
@@corycourtney8923 that album for its differences had some cool riffs. If anything the mix let it down the most.
I loved that album, was my intro to aborted. Crazy to hear him unhappy with it. Imperfect perfection on that album I still dig it
@@corycourtney8923 as soon as you notice the “missteps” that Sven mentioned, such as the half speed recording, it changes the whole listening experience. The guitars sound so weird lol.
They are so fucken crazy live
Saw you both last year in Cali at Berkeley Theater. Great show!

Cheers from Greece.
Saw these guys on The Everything is F**ked Tour. They had so much energy and arguably the most brutal pit of the night.
I found deathcore and death metal through Slaughter to Prevail. Now I'm listening to all the myspace deathcore and death metal bands and going back to the 80s and 90s bands
Awesome to hear sven. Dude is a death metal legend!
I'm with Sven on this one I think the first Linkin Park record is awesome
nazi black metal is a thing in the us also. don't see what the fuck they have in common but still
kudos to sven for calling that shit out
Legends.
it was crazy he did drums on the first Leng Tche stuff. Hes a mad dogga
Just saw these last week, super intense, great show
Recently seen Aborted live. Sven is a madman on stage.
Engineering the Dead is top 10 favorite metal cds for Daddy
You used to write for Impetigo??? damn thats crazy, did you write the song Boneyard??
Hawaiian shirts are now officially, metal as fuck.
Saw them on the current tour. New Aborted fan. Nice getting to know the dude who fucking terrified the metal population of Winnipeg.❤❤😂😂
Akhlys needs to be on a tour with Aborted.
Kudos to this guy for condemning nationalism as a whole. Any form of nationalism is dumb and dangerous.
he is awesome .. amazing flemish dude
FINALLY! 🎉🎉🎉
The lament configuration!
saw that fucker a few years back. crazy vocals and was chilling out in the merch shop before the show :D
Aborted and ss needs to do a split ep
SS in general need to break out more. It's gotten a bit stale. They need to go f ing nuts and do a split album with a slam band or add grindcore elements or whatever to their sound on an EP.

Loved this one And Love Aborted
Oh hell yes!
deeds of flesh did the guest vocal thing years earlier
@@immyownbestfriend9338 one of the best underrated band to come out of Cali
@@andyzuleta5344 they practically started a sub genre, and the band started unique leader. they are the opposite of underrated.
@@immyownbestfriend9338 well sorry man , from the outside world not many people know deeds of flesh.
I’m really curious which album he’s talking about not liking , and the recording process was terrible ? Anyone know?
Garza being blown away by racism in black metal is hilarious. That's still a thing.
He's been known to be pretty oblivious about a lot of stuff in the metal scene in general.
Sven definitely fits the bill with that brooooootL shirt!
I bought Slaughter & Apparatus the year at FYE the year it came out, all because the the logo looked sick. I had never heard of them before and it was some of the most extreme music I'd ever heard. I've been a fan ever since
Which album is he talking about that he regretted, trying to find it
Strychnine213
I was at that aborted show at the showcase. I believe Exhumed played. I'm 50% sure I still have the flyer in storage. I remember there were a lot of fights between metalheads and deathcore kids
55:00 which record are they refering to?
Strychnine.213

Best song - enterrement of an idol
The album Sven described doing for SS sounds like the album cover for Carnifex - Hell Chose Me
I fucking love the band Scarve
WHAT A LEGEND SVEN IS! ALSO LOVE HIS OTHER BANDS SUCH SYSTEM DIVIDE, FETAL BLOOD EAGLE AND COFFIN FEEDER!!!!
You forgot in quest epileptic.
@@vasilantonov3561 i didn't forget cause i never heard of em lol

Waddup homeboy!
You like that rough and tough stuff like Disturbed and Static-X?? That shit's heeeeaavvy.
I learned the same way 21 years ago.

It's not a problem though. Europe could use some more nationalism seeing how badly it's being ravaged right now.
It´s good to look into the cityes like Paris and than understand what types of things causing it
The music definitely brings out violence in me
Saw them last November at MXMF and had to get into the pit
He needs to debate Dawg lol
How does his shirt line up with his chest tattoo so well, its trippin me out man
what album is he referencing? the one he wish he didn't put out
Strychnine 213
Weird how Garza doesn't know that Black Metal is infested with racism.
Sven à Quebec: Pour une fois que je peux parler en français. FOUTER MOI LE BORDEL!
Nice!!
legend
PLEASE get the band STABBING on your podcast !
he was spot on about that black metal neo nazi topic. it really was a thing. glad it died down pretty quickly though. i'd say by the mid 00's it was already on it's way out and by the end of that decade it was more or less gone

Yes unfortunaly there is nsbm i have been there Done thath because im disable
My mom would ask me why I was listening to devil music. She hated when I played Deicide...lol
it's not 2 dollars for a beer. it's 2 dollars for a belgian beer! that is the truly ridiculous part. because some of their beers are the best in the world
Also here in Italy there are a lot of neofascists black metal bands (and fans obviously), I'm not so much into that scene for this reason.
now i know why i don’t like any aborted after retrogore
Why
@@PedroHenrique-mj1mn watch the video, sven explains.
Fucking legend
Im suprised Garza didnt know about that negative side of black metal lol i thought that was pretty common knowledge about black metal back then
Sven sounds like a triggered SJW because JDawg was doing classic metalhead banter

Is it just me or did Sven give a "I don't really wanna be here" vibe
Well, he is Belgian.
Sven doesn’t seem to like interviews that much and Belgians are known to be weirdos anyway so there’s that.
Sven stole his shirt from Dustin poirier
he should look at western europe now and listen to Skrewdriver's song - Invasion or other, and stop talkin bullshit about neo-nazis - 'coz it was the same nonsense as sex pistols
