In case you missed it in the last episode, here is some tasty stuff from Colorado Springs grinders Tree of Woe. The track is called "Foul is the Stench" and is from a rough demo I was able to get my grubby little hands on. Enjoy!

If you haven't seen Fetus Heist, you are seriously missing out. A 2 piece grind machine from Minnesota, they put on one of the most entertaining live shows you'll ever see. Plus their music rips. We talked with them before they laid down the slay meat and found out, among other things, that Luke is Ophidiophobic. They also shared their realitvely unusual process of songwriting with us and what their plans are for the rest of the year.

Enjoy the interview!

We've been hinting at this for a while now and the moment has finally arrived!

A few episodes ago we were talking with Matt from the Alloy Podcast about all the different sub genres in metal. You've probably heard of several types of "core" metal, different types of black and death metal, and something called Djent - but have you ever wondered, "Why are there sub genres at all?" Is there something that truly makes each one unique?

Now you can put those questions to rest with our Genres page. We've done the leg work of separating out 44 unique metal related characterstics, and associating them to 21 different metal sub genres. The result is a page that lets you pick the characterstics and see the related genres. Or you can pick a genre and see it's characteristics. Metal nerdom bliss!

We've also included a link to email us if you think we've missed anything so feel free to be scrutinous!

Did you catch the recent United Hate Across America tour? We did and had a chance to talk with the opening act, Australia's own Beyond Terror Beyond Grace. As luck would have it, initial means of transportation fell through, so Malevolent Creation, being the killer dudes they are, shared their tour bus with BTBG. Coincidentally, this provided one of the more comfortable settings for a MetalsPeak interview thus far! Check it out as we discussed their somewhat shocking shift in musical direction, what it's like having a vocalist live on the other side of the country, and reactions to a staple of American culture: Wal-Mart.
