We're joined by Damonteal Harris, vocalist of the hardest slam/death metal/hardcore hybrid band on earth right now: PEELINGFLESH from Oklahoma. Damonteal walks us through how growing up in the the Tulsa hardcore scene led him eventually joining forces with the rest of the band to their unexpected (to them) rise as the absolute kings of modern brutal slam.

With their unique integrations of hip hop samples throughout their entire discography, an undeniably charismatic frontman, flawless live performances from the entire band, and tireless songwriting output, you can't help but root for PF. Thanks to Damonteal for joining us, PF RADIO 2 OUT SOON!!!

Now that the dust has settled after yet another incredible Sound & Fury festival, we recap the entire week leading up to this year's fest.

This year was amongst the best in the premiere hardcore festival's history, from standout sets from Big Boy, Knocked Loose and Missing Link, to a secret Terror set during God's Hate before being joined by Todd and Ryan from Carry On for a song. Enjoy this year's annual recap!

It's a momentous day in HardLore history as we finally explored the hometown of half of our show: Chicago, Illinois.

We visited a few places around town (hand picked by Bo) where we were joined by very special guests for one on one conversations before finally all converging together at the legendary Fireside Bowl, Chicago's most iconic hardcore venue of the late 90s and early 00s.

Featuring Shane Merrill from The Killer, Chris Mills from Harms Way, and Anchit Chhabra from Hold My Own (and many other bands)

Thanks to Electric Mud, NADC Burger, Reckless Records and of course the Fireside for having us.

Reckless browsing music by Kevin MacLeod.

In loving memory of the greatest of all time, we decided to make an impromptu, audio only, bonus episode talking about our favorite Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne songs of all time. Rest in peace to the prince of darkness.

Days before Kruelty's return to Sound & Fury Fest, vocalist and beloved HardLore regular Kohei Azuma (AKA Zuma) returns for his 4th appearance on the show to challenge our honor by (insanely) declaring that he thinks he can eat more nuggets than us.

After 8 consecutive weeks on two different full US tours that Kruelty has finally freshly wrapped up, he just might be right... Featuring his wife and Kruelty bassist Seina as special guest co-host and scorekeeper, and Kruelty's manager Taylor Young (AKA his Dad) as moral support.

We were joined at The Pit Recording Studio in Sunland, CA by Nitisart “Mike” Chaiburi and Kitti “Ole” Suwan of the great WHISPERS, all the way from Bangkok, Thailand.

A truly unbelievable group of people both personally and musically, they’ve broken through every barrier imaginable through their undeniable spirit, infectiously unique and hard and passionate love for hardcore music.

Being the first band from Bangkok to achieve so much of what they have achieved, we’re honored to talk to Whispers about their origin from local band in Bangkok who evolved into the definitive band that represents not only their city, but all of Thailand around the world. We can’t think of a better group or a better band for the job, and just five minutes of this conversation is all you’ll need to hear to understand why.
