Cradle of Filth's Dani Filth on Dusk and Her Embrace (1996) & What It Takes to Be in the Band
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. We revisit the stories behind the record, from Peter Steele convincing Dani to stage a fake dressing room brawl, to choosing the iconic artwork with ghost hunter Simon Marsden, why Euronymous loved the band's early demos and Dissection stole from them while black metal traditionalists balked at them, what it takes to survive in a band that's had 37 members, and why atmosphere has always come before everything else.

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.

Primitive Man's Observance: Death Sludge, Occult Art & Surviving the Surveillance State
Ethan Lee McCarthy of Primitive Man joins host Christina Rowatt to talk about the band's devastating album Observance and the ideas behind their uniquely oppressive sound. In this conversation, Ethan explains why Primitive Man rejected the limitations of traditional doom metal and coined their own term – "death sludge." He dives into the band's sonic philosophy, from crafting guitar tones that feel like "the surface of the sun" to drawing influence from artists as diverse as Portishead, industrial music and film soundtracks. The conversation moves from sound to worldview. Ethan discusses the themes driving Observance, including techno-feudalism, the surveillance state and the growing influence of authoritarian politics around the world. Primitive Man's music may be punishingly heavy, but it's rooted in a deep awareness of the human condition. Along the way, Ethan also shares a surprising origin story: how drawing demonic imagery as a child led to accusations of satan worship in his religious household – and ultimately pushed him toward picking up the guitar. It's a conversation about extreme music, art, politics and the strange paths that lead people to create the soundtrack to the end of the world.
