Pepper Keenan (Down, Corrosion of Conformity) on Down's NOLA, New Music & Dimebag Darrell
Mighty rifflord Pepper Keenan (Down, Corrosion of Conformity) talks about classic records like Down's peerless debut NOLA and Deliverance, Corrosion of Conformity's maiden voyage with Pepper as a vocalist, which were both recorded during the same period three decades ago. Now, with the first Down LP in 19 years on the way and an epic new double record from COC, we delve into how the guitar helped Pepper get his point across, how vocals became another weapon, and the blues that runs through his veins with punk rock in his heart. We also get into Black Sabbath, King Diamond, writing riffs until he couldn't see straight, his memories of Dimebag Darrell, what getting older has done to his relationship with the guitar, and his forthcoming solo album.

Misha Mansoor (Periphery): Stealing Nirvana's Secrets, Life After Death and A Pale White Dot
Misha Mansoor is the founding member of progressive metal band Periphery, a band he formed in 2005 who are known for violently infectious melody and deceptively complex music. A devout revhead and gear head - the man has had a hand in designing everything from drum libraries to pedals - Misha reflects on the songwriting techniques Periphery stole from Nirvana, and why the collision of art and engineering sits at the heart of almost everything he loves. We also dig into A Pale White Dot, Periphery's deeply personal exploration of loneliness, solitude, grief and our tiny place in the universe; why the band scrapped an album when COVID forced them to work remotely; the weird history of djent; and why, after more than two decades of making music, his best advice is still remarkably simple: do it for the love.

Shakewell vs. Cody Chavez (Drain): Slugeater EP via Hardcore, Rap & the New Underground
Shakewell broke through in a big way as a rapper alongside underground rap luminaries like his label bosses $uicideboy$. The thing is, he earned his stripes as a hardcore bassist in Betrayal. Rather than repeat himself, he's now brought his unique flavour of rap back to his hardcore roots alongside Drain shredder Cody Chavez on the brand new Slugeater EP. In this fun, freewheeling conversation, Shakewell and Cody trace their shared history, wax lyrical about Alice in Chains, get deep on sobriety in a pill-soaked genre and explore why the walls between hardcore and rap are finally coming down.

Dani Filth of Cradle of Filth joins Christina on the We Wreck Records podcast to celebrate 30 years of Dusk and Her Embrace, the album that cemented the band's identity.

Helmet's Betty: Page Hamilton on David Bowie, The Early Days & Hearing Music Before He Plays It
To celebrate the 32nd anniversary of Helmet's landmark album Betty, frontman Page Hamilton reflects on the band's remarkable journey - from four musicians in a "too aggressive" New York band pasting over Dee-Lite gig posters to becoming one of the most influential acts in alternative and heavy music. In this candid conversation, Page shares his unforgettable CBGBs audition story, the surreal experience of learning 30 David Bowie songs and performing alongside the icon, how he hears music in his head before ever picking up an instrument, and the impact Kurt Cobain's death had on the entire rock community. While Betty provides the backdrop, this episode goes far beyond the record itself, offering a rare and personal look into the creative mind, career and philosophy of one of heavy music's true originals. This show was filmed backstage in Sydney, Australia. We Wreck Records is proudly presented by: DISTROKID: distrokid.com/wewreckrecords Visit the above link for 30% off your first year with Distrokid.
