  • Heavy metal hidden gem.

    From legendary artists, to less known up and comers, Lurk runs the gammut, and gives everybody a fair shake to tell their stories. You'll learn more about your favorite hardcore / metal bands, you'll laugh, and you'll come away from this podcast with a smile on your face and feeling like you made some new friends.

    The vibe on this podcast is super chill, which lets the artists open up to tell their stories. You won't find any "So how did you get your name?" or "Why did you name your song that?"... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#210 - Lee Harrison of Monstrosity
Q: How do you view the Florida death metal scene and camaraderie among the big-name acts?
The guest explains that camaraderie exists with occasional factional tensions, and that long-running Tampa bands have shaped a supportive network, though competition and ego can surface; overall it's a community with shared history.
#210 - Lee Harrison of Monstrosity
Q: What is the approach to the album's overarching vision, is there a single concept or is it more song-by-song?
It's not a strict concept album; instead, each track explores death, war, and apocalyptic themes, with a unifying thread of darker subject matter while giving each song its own narrative and mood.
#210 - Lee Harrison of Monstrosity
Q: How has the writing and recording process evolved for this album compared to earlier records?
The guest describes using a real studio for drums while leveraging home studios for other parts, which reduces costs and deadlines pressure but requires careful organization; the COVID period allowed longer development time, with later refinement of lyrics and arrangements.
#210 - Lee Harrison of Monstrosity
Q: What excites you or the band mostly about this new release from Screams from Beneath the Surface?
The guest highlights new band members and a refreshed energy, the convergence of writing with a mix of old-school and newer influences, and the sense that the material finally achieves a balance between technicality and primal death metal aesthetics.
#208 - Abe Kirkpatrick of Mauled
Q: How do you approach songwriting within Deathcore?
He discusses using syllables and vocal patterns to create punchy lyrics that fit the intensity of the music.
