Founding Suicide Silence member Chris Garza joins the show to reflect on the roots of the band and the resurgence of deathcore. Johnny and Chris discuss the SoCal metal scene in the 2000s, with bands including Atreyu, Bleeding Through, and Avenged Sevenfold. Chris opens up about the passing of frontman Mitch Lucker, and how Eddie Hermida was ultimately chosen as the person to continue Mitch’s legacy.
Chris and Johnny have an in-depth conversation about how it’s impossible to “go back” and try to replicate the sound and energy of a past album. Chris shares praise for KoЯn and names Munky as the person who inspired him to play guitar. Johnny shares a story about meeting Rex Brown, and the duo share their thoughts on the upcoming Pantera reunion.
