EPISODE 111 HIS HERO IS GONE / CARL AUGE

In this episode, I sit down with Carl Auge — bassist, visual artist, and founding member of the influential crust/hardcore band His Hero Is Gone. From the bleak underground of the ’90s DIY scene to the enduring legacy of Monuments to Thieves, Carl reflects on the band’s uncompromising ethos, the creative process behind their visceral sound, and the tension between art, music, and resistance. We also explore his visual art, the role of dissonance in both his music and imagery, and what it means to create honestly in a world that often prefers silence.
