Yes Sven you met me in 2001 Ohio deathfest, have photo to prove it and “purity of perversion” lp and cd signed by you and all the other members 😊

Taaaaaaaaaape on that mouth shut! Pretty silly, pretty dumb to call someone a poser who has been heavily involved in the extreme metal scene for three decades brah brah. Sven lives and breathes grind and metal

The VAULT OF HORRORS ALBUM IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2024

[@channel_panel193]

I love this podcast cos the youthful enthusiasm of the host is a great counterbalance to the mellowness of the old school guests

[@MetalPhantomX]

Sven is a hommie! I fucking love Vault of Horrors! Sven, if you ever see this comment, I want YOU to know that I thoroughly enjoyed Vault of Horrors! Great job on the record!

[@VitrificationOfBlood]

Sick guest! Used to be a huge Aborted fan but lost track of em, great reminder to dive back in

[@TimmyTurner421]

New album SLAYS

I highly recommend their new album. Best thing they released in a long time. I was blown away by it

[@AndrewJShirley]

Great interview. I interviewed him for a website I was writing for back around 2009 when that Icelandic volcano went off and they were supposed to play with The Red Chord but it grounded all flights and even bands from Europe were having problems getting in. He is a stellar dude and super lovely. Aborted are also so great live, like so much fun. That new album is on constant repeat too, fucking bangers.

[@DevonTheFirewolf]

This was really interesting to watch. I just got into Aborted recently thanks to Vault of Horrors and then I did a deep dive into their catalog. What was crazy to hear about was what happened in 2008 during that album cycle (and I know exactly which album he's talking about, Strychnine.213, ironically one of my least favorite albums). Just how miserable that album cycle sounded like, makes sense why I didn't click with that album. Glad he managed to pull they and get the band back on its feet with the new lineup and next album (Global Flatline, one of my favorites).

[@chrisgonz19]

Saw them live the other week! Always a killer show!

[@templegrower]

Saw them on the Archspire tour... Absolutely killed it! Great interview tho, really enjoyed this one. Sven rules!

I was never a big Aborted fan until I saw them live last month. They were amazing! Happy to see Sven on the cast.

Saw you both last year in Cali at Berkeley Theater. Great show!

Aborted is such a great band , great interview chris.

Thank you for this, Sven is the man. Also always thought aborted was the best band name. Loved hearing the story behind it 🍻

[@KesoUBEkerisik]

Remembered Sven during the myspace days.. he has this page that designs brutal album art for avulsed, his other band lengtche, etc.. those were really cool and brootal 🤘🏽

[@ChristianArvizo]

Legends.

[@corycourtney8923]

I really liked Strychnine.213. That was my first Aborted album. Their perceived missteps are better than a lot of bands best stuff.

[@TheTrveMothlord]

@@corycourtney8923 that album for its differences had some cool riffs. If anything the mix let it down the most.

[@joshuastephens1293]

I loved that album, was my intro to aborted. Crazy to hear him unhappy with it. Imperfect perfection on that album I still dig it

[@PedroHenrique-mj1mn]

@@corycourtney8923 as soon as you notice the “missteps” that Sven mentioned, such as the half speed recording, it changes the whole listening experience. The guitars sound so weird lol.

Awesome to hear sven. Dude is a death metal legend!

[@MAV2105]

Crazy to realize Sven is OG right now - I remember discovering Goremaggeddon in 2006. So brutal carcassesque flavour it has. Also, shootout to Sven's participation in In-quest band catalogue - Epileptic. Still mine band's favorite

my favorite Death Metal band. love his vocals. and is so cool that he talk about strychnine. he vaguely mentioned in an interview that he hated that album but never said why... I thought that it would be cool if strychnine get remixed.

[@michealmendez713]

Aborted and ss needs to do a split ep

[@TimmyTurner421]

SS in general need to break out more. It's gotten a bit stale. They need to go f ing nuts and do a split album with a slam band or add grindcore elements or whatever to their sound on an EP. Just anything that breathes new life into their music. Just stay away from the cleans. I know for a fact that the SS base player listens to all the sick new underground bands like PeelingFlesh, Corpse Pile, Bodybox, Paleface Swiss, Disfiguring the Goddess, Sanguisubogg ... maybe do a collab with one of them

[@ryan-cochran]

I found deathcore and death metal through Slaughter to Prevail. Now I'm listening to all the myspace deathcore and death metal bands and going back to the 80s and 90s bands

55:00 which record are they refering to?

[@fthkclm]

Strychnine.213

[@joshuastephens1293]

That albums shreds hard and came out during a rough time in my life and will always be my favorite aborted album and I'm a huge fan of their whole catalog!

[@fthkclm]

@@joshuastephens1293 there are definitely some bangers on this one, and I vivdly remember the summer it was released, oh the memories. Looking back on all their discography, I have to admit that the albums released with the Slaughter/Strychnine line up are the weakest (IMO). Bangers but filler songs as well, that kinda make the album mid.

12:00 this wasn't a problem exclusive to Belgium. It was and to a degree still is a problem in the European black metal scene in general. NSBM is definitely a thing. I assume it's different in the US black metal scene because Garza was so surprised to hear that.

It's not a problem though. Europe could use some more nationalism seeing how badly it's being ravaged right now.

he was spot on about that black metal neo nazi topic. it really was a thing. glad it died down pretty quickly though. i'd say by the mid 00's it was already on it's way out and by the end of that decade it was more or less gone
