60: Point of Entry Ralph Schmidt (Ultha)

Ep. 60

I particular like these episodes; it’s fascinating to find out what records influenced people fellow musicians. Often times it comes as a surprise.


This week, we’re welcoming back my dear friend Ralph Schmidt of Ultha. Ralph and I have been friends for nearly to decades and it’s always a pleasure when we have the opportunity to chat so aside from finding out what records sculpted Ralph’s unique creative vision, you’ll have to tolerate the intense “bro-down.”

80: Mike IX of Eyehategod

Ep. 80
When I think of Eyehategod, one of the words that comes to mind is “endurance.” The band has been through a lot of ups and downs across their career which has spanned three decades and counting.Another word that comes to mind is “innovative.” They have architected a sound that has been imitated but never duplicate. Mike Williams, aside from being one of the most intense front men in extreme music, is a thoughtful, introspective person. Our conversation covered a lot of ground. Enjoy.Intro:“Sister Fucker Part 1”Outro:“Jack Ass In the Will of God”
