Nashville's metal scene is thriving in ways you never expected—chaotic, intense, and deeply connected. John and Derek sat down for a conversation with Jacob Lilly, vocalist of Chamber, and he pulled back the curtain on their latest album this is goodbye… revealing how chaos, emotion, and raw energy define their sound and their journey. Discover how they push musical boundaries with producer Randy LaBeouf, balancing chaos with cohesion, and what it takes to turn raw studio chaos into a polished masterpiece that rivals legends like Converge.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
•The evolution of Chamber's sound, blending mathcore and hardcore into something uniquely brutal yet accessible
•How the band crafts vocal chaos ideas on the fly, balancing technicality with raw emotion
•The importance of community, legacy, and authenticity in the metal scene, especially in Nashville's surprisingly vibrant metal arena
•Practical insights on vocal health, touring life, and making merchandise accessible for fans
•The band’s ambitious plans to grow, tour worldwide, and create meaningful connections through their music
•
Jacob shares the moments that give them tingles when the album is complete and how they’re shaping a new wave of chaos-mosh metal that’s both unhinged and tightly produced. Perfect for metalheads craving heavy, honest, and innovative music, and for artists inspired to push their limits—this is a conversation Derek and John were excited about and they think you will be too.

Heritage metal band Lamb Of God just released their tenth studio album Into Oblivion. Derek and John got into it and talked about the band's return to form, production techniques, and band evolution. They also questioned why Country Time Lemonade still hasn't answered John's calls but still have no answers. (John is still quite upset.)
