Ever wondered why so many so-called metal bands sound more like fashion campaigns than rebellion? Yeah… same. In this episode, Xavi and Lina Macabre from Venomous Sin tackle the great identity crisis of modern metal: How to Spot a Fake Metal Band. 🤘💀🤘
This one hits where it hurts — inside the soul of a scene that once stood for chaos, authenticity, and raw self-expression. We break down how "Venomous Sin" became a symbol of cultural resistance, why AI in music isn’t “soulless,” and how true rebellion still lives through noise, distortion, and unfiltered emotion.
You’ll hear about the band’s journey of finding my voice through Venomous Sin, and how artists who use AI for rebellion are redefining what it means to be real. We dive deep into how to resist through art, why conformity kills creativity, and where the line between passion and posing really lies. And yes — we finally get Venomous Sin lore explained for those who keep asking how this madness even started.
Unusual Band Detail:
Here’s one most fans don’t know — Xavi refuses to call anyone a “poser.” For him, it’s not about your clothes, genre, or skill. It’s about honesty. As he puts it: “If you fake anger, you’re not metal. If you fake peace, you’re not alive.” That’s the mindset behind Venomous Sin’s unapologetic message of how to defy the mainstream with metal.
Background:
A lot of bands went “mainstream metal” and traded rebellion for sponsorships. We didn’t. This episode explores why staying real costs more — and why it’s worth every scar.
