The remaster came out perfect.
Killing Grounds is equally as great. Please remaster that too! And do cds with the OG cover! They’ll sell out QUICK.
Elysia is the best deathcore band. Also ABACABB and Forgetting Tomorrow are behind them.
10:47 - love the rifles at recess shout out. Still listen to that album pretty regularly.
Impressed by his All Out War shirt. Their brother band End Of One was one of the earliest deathcore bands.
Awesome podcast! This band was one of my absolute favorites back in highschool and it was super exciting to find out about the re-issue and the vinyl/merch and stuff. Grabbed myself a hoodie and somewhat regretting I never grabbed a vinyl. Thanks for this interview! I never heard Zak talk about the band before, and it was super insightful and he seems like he's happy with the legacy the band has left. Hoping for a reunion someday.
Thanks so much, I try really hard with these interviews so i hope youll check out stuff in the future or even go back and listen to some old episodes!
My wife and I’s first date was Elysia/KOTA/Impending Doom and Molotov Solution. Show was a banger
Nice! I toured with Molotov and Impending Doom way back in the day.
@@heavymetalhistorypodcast impending doom were some of the nicest guys I’ve ever met
This is a great interview. Great job to you and zak for being chill snd extremely insightful.
Thanks so much, I hope you'll check out the rest of my episodes!
I remember one of zaks aim away message back in the day talked about how the lyrics were easy to write about hating women but how he loved his girlfriend he was dating at the time .
