From shaping the worlds of God of War Ragnarök, The Walking Dead, Battlestar Galactica, and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power to creating one entirely his own, it was an absolute privilege to spend some time with Bear McCreary. We talked about “The Singularity: Ekleipsis,” due out July 31 via Sparks & Shadows Records, and what it meant to step beyond composing for other stories to build a uni...
Ten years in the making, Prairie feels like the record David Osterhout had been chasing since the earliest days of Bike Routes. We caught up with David to talk about finally bringing that vision to life, the influence of growing up in New Jersey, and how home can be both the place that shapes us and the place we spend a lifetime trying to understand.
We also dive into the incredible range of influences behind Bike Ro...
Some records don't just tell stories—they open old rooms and invite you inside. In the latest edition of IUF, Lynsey Ward and Jonny Knight of Exploring Birdsong discuss "Every House We Built," the band's debut album out now via Long Branch Records. The conversation explores the years-long journey behind the record, using houses as a metaphor for relationships, and why this became their most personal and vulner...
Always the black sheep.
We recently welcomed Diva Satanica of Bloodhunter back to IUF to talk about Sons of the Abandoned, and one topic kept finding its way to the center of the conversation: identity. We discussed taking a more vulnerable approach to songwriting, confronting inner struggles through music, and the challenge of being completely honest with yourself in a genre that often looks outward rather than inwa...
On a humid May afternoon in Dallas, we caught up with Ross Dolan, Bob Vigna, and Alex Bouks of Immolation at the tail end of the Godless IV Tour alongside Behemoth, Deicide, and Rotting Christ. Nearly four decades into their career, Immolation continue to prove why they've remained one of the most respected and uncompromising forces in death metal.
Beyond discussing their newest album, Descent, we also talked about t...
We’re joined by John Dillon and Max Codoceo of CODE:WORDS to Interview Under Fire to talk about the band’s rapid rise, signing with The Artery Foundation, and the emotional weight behind tracks like “Limerence” and “All Consuming.” For a band that’s only been around since 2023, CODE:WORDS already feels like something much bigger — blending melody, electronics, and heav...
Symphonic metal veterans Amberian Dawn are entering a completely new era, and we had the chance to talk with founder Tuomas Seppälä and new vocalist Nicole Willerton about everything behind Temptation’s Gates, out June 26 via Napalm Records. Hearing Tuomas reflect on the band’s evolution since 2006 — and the renewed creative spark behind this record — really put this next chapter into perspec...
Piper Ferrari of Roman Candle joins us on IUF to break down the band’s debut full-length Unadulterated, out now via Sumerian Records. Born out of a moment where the band nearly called it quits, this record feels less like a debut and more like survival — raw, unfiltered, and emotionally uncompromising. We get into that turning point, the chaos that shaped the album, and how tracks like “Nothing Is ...
We caught up with The Amity Affliction frontman Joel Birch during the Spring Horizons tour to discuss House of Cards, the band’s ninth studio album, out now worldwide via Pure Noise Records.

We caught up with Haste the Day guitarist Scott Whelan to discuss Dissenter, the band’s seventh full-length album, out now via Solid State Records. In our conversation, we explored the significance of returning with their first new record since Coward, how the band rekindled its purpose following reunion performances, and how Dissenter balances Haste the Day’s signature heaviness with a more cinematic, l...
Shawna Potter returns for her third appearance on Interview Under Fire as we dive into War On Women’s upcoming fifth studio album, Time Under Tension, out May 8 via Smartpunk Records. We discuss the urgency and vulnerability behind the new material, the evolution of the band’s sound, returning to the road, and what makes this next chapter feel especially energized.
We also explore Shawna’s work beyo...
For this conversation, we connected with Tyler Beam of The Last Ten Seconds of Life to dive into their upcoming eighth full-length The Dead Ones, set for release April 17 via Metal Blade Records. Marking the band’s debut on the label, the record stands as an intense and deeply personal chapter—pushing their signature heaviness into darker, more introspective territory while refining a sound built to feel...
We sat down with Ian Schneider of Resistor to talk about their explosive debut full-length BITE THIS!, now out worldwide. Blending the swagger of O.G. nu-metal with the intensity of modern hardcore, the band has carved out their own lane with what they’ve dubbed “knuckle dragging wika wika core”—a sound rooted in collaboration, raw energy, and unapologetic attitude.
Throughout the conversation...
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 th...
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 j...

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 Reint...
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.
