[@Carnifex]

Thanks for having me, man! Talking with Garza, tours coming up and happening...feels like old times. Congrats on 10 years of 'The Black Crown' yesterday, ps!

[@buckwilicker]

Deathcore fans would 100% help crowdfund you guys. Safe to say 99.9% of us would rather the band get the money than a label!

[@colinwood897]

[@johnnyrose5022]

So happy to see bands like carnifex and SS still kicking ass. I still remember that consume me with hate breakdown. Shit still hits the same. All love!

I’m 39 yr old this year.. been listening to death metal since I was about 10, after my neighbor older brother got me into bands like Deicide, Cannibal , and incantation ..wasn’t a big fan of the “death core” boom in the late 2000s .. but Carnifex def changed my mind .. I still listen to them till this day and “Diseased and Poisoned” is still one of my favorite albums .. and their rendition of Slayers “Angel of Death” is one of the toughest things I’ve ever heard!! Much peace and love from Southern California 🤘🏼death metal till’ my death

[@OvSulfur]

Blackened deathcore GOD! Great interview.

[@dustinbaxter4521]

Hey! So are you guys

[@ardillapesadilla]

I can't remember any previous interview where Scott looked this happy and smiling. This is cool.

[@patrickmurphy2443]

Its cuz he was talking to a co worker not a critic

[@joelpears5506]

Garza is great at holding interviews, let's the guest speak, doesn't try to one up stories and relates where he can with the the guest. Awesome convo man, keep the content rolling

[@GarzaPodcast]

I do my best to let people get their full thought out. It's crazy how different everyone has been with how they pause to stop or continue to speak. Really tough to nail. Scott was a great conversation so this was different but im trying to get better. Im stoked you are watching. - Garza

[@kingsizeblues616]

Feels like two friends just chillin and chattin, it's sick

[@user-ed7rk3ff5f]

Suicide Silence and Carnifex are both coolest deathcore bands 🤘✌️👍

[@Aaronlovesmusic970]

I think they completely define the genre they were definitely some of the OGS very happy people still love then and there progression as bands is insane 🤘🤘🤘

[@clstile]

Don’t forget Whitechapel 🤘🏼

[@cracksmoker1983]

I like the Black Metal Vibe that comes through on some of Carnifex songs.

[@rytr0nious]

Hell Chose Me is so full of them and especially Heartless and Sorrowspell. Definitely one of the things that made me love Carnifex and had them as one of the standouts is their "blackened" style which is becoming big now but wasn't big back then.

[@jrofficial4317]

When Scott started talking about feeling alone as a kid in 2nd grade waiting for the water fountain, that hit me hard. Great podcast Garza !

[@willlank7451]

Bro Garza I’ve been waiting most of my adult life for a a podcast that is metal related. This is the closest thing to headbangers ball we have now. Much love man

[@TheFroman11]

Give Carnifex a bus bro. They've done the work

[@jooseev]

Scott is one the realest, still remember every time carnifex came to Mexico, great podcast!

[@jxalmada66]

Another RAD one! Keep 'em coming!! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@GarzaPodcast]

I appreciate that! -Garza

[@jessewalters9107]

If it's hard seeing where you are at the the current state ... maybe your ahead of your time and the rest need to get on board ... Heavy Metal is more than music ... it's a way of life that most don't understand because no matter what type of Metal you like the reason you listen to it is why it still holds strong today ... it gets people through hard times, celebrate good times or just good old stress relief ... If you play or write music or sing from your heart I wish people understood the rush it his or when a song raises hairs on your neck ... I wish I could explain it but when your moshing, headbanging or have headphones on it becomes the soundtracks to our lives ... I have been listening to this music for a long time man it has saved my soul and the cliche It saved my life but it has for many and thats why metal heads are so passionate about these bands ... First thing I thought of when the pandemic hit was all the bands who are going to struggle knowing how some bands rely on touring ... Thanks Garza for this Podcast it just keeps getting better ...

[@darkwarrior1194]

Saw Carnifex in 2019 in Costa Rica with Slipknot and Sodom, one of the best shows I've ever been to. My best friend got converted to Deathcore fan after seeing them that day

[@goat_horde]

Burning the masses!!! Scotts reference to those days are nostalgic

[@ottonomm3283]

good one! Scott is just so humble and down to earth guy. Lovev it!

[@Drumliife]

My local band got to open for Carnifex years ago in Hamilton. That was such a fun show 🤘

[@bigMCLR]

Respect Scott, I feel alot about what you say with people that you know getting jobs and family's and stuff My dream was to be in a Deathcore band. I'm now 33 and got no good memories to look back on and live with the realisation that I have to get a job and do the cookie cutter life shit Respect for staying with the band I love Carnifex so much Shouts from Australia 🇦🇺

[@davidlamothe8586]

That 7 string custom strat tho

[@pattohorne]

Carnifex is still one of the best bands out. The last album is dope

[@osm1718]

this show is getting better and better

[@Akera541]

You guys can't stop now, we grew up on you both in hs & now we just want more! Keep going!

[@TimmyTurner421]

I've never seen Scott so happy in an interview

[@timnieto6169]

Insane to hear you name drop that Burning The Masses tour!!! I remember that stop in Santa Ana at The Barn? I believe the place was called. You’d mosh, swing your arm up and smack the wooden beams above. Blanking on who headlined, Carnifex, BTM and my boys in At Battles End! Such a sick lineup just streets away from where I lived at the time.

[@kornkultrc]

I first saw Carnifex live in Milwaukee between Oceano and Suicide Silence. Y’all made an incredible first impression and I have been in love with the band since.

[@Jeudaos]

Carnifex is STILL my top 3 black deathmetal bands. Fucking LOVE those guys.

[@Skeletal33]

Id love to see an interview with Casey Chaos

[@GarzaPodcast]

I will do some research. -Garza

[@user-nc1fq2wp5n]

Yooooo for real

[@rondelltompkins8030]

I'm 41 years old right now and I've been with the deathcore shit since the day before day one! Lmao FRFR... Love carnifex, love sui silence .....

[@F.Castle]

needs more questions about point of views like the "where do you see deathcore scene going" one

[@neckbomb9693]

Saw Carnifex on the 2024 Chaos & Carnage tour, insane performance + just raw as fuck energy. Scott also seems like a wholesome dude, all about the music and putting on good shows. Fan for life here 🙏🦾🔥😎

[@sds900]

Just found this podcast and I love it! Bout to binge all the episodes to get thru my job

[@Altroburst]

Man, i'm sleeping on the garza podcast and miss all the interview with my fav bands. damn, better late than never

[@icecastleunderground]

the tour where we were two bands in a van was legacy of pain not suffokate but close enough lol

[@jarmalofamerica]

I've been meaning to watch this one since it's release. Now I'll be seeing both of you at the co headliner w/ Lorna Shore and Angelmaker. I'll be at the Friday the 13th Show in May and I hope to meet you brother

[@Davier9999]

I've been watching one episode per day (in order of interest) and this one is the best. Scott is a super cool dude, and I can relate with so much of what he said about feelings of isolation and whatnot. Really cool episode!

[@nbu2022]

Great Job dude, loving your podcast!

[@blackiceguy89]

SIL talking about Burning the Masses, a band I thought would have been where Whitechapel is now, is so nostalgic. I love this scene/ community. Keep throwing down homies! ! 🤘🏼

[@groteskeld]

Love you both guys. Scott vení a Argentina hijo de Winnie Pooh

[@frankmartin9958]

Guys in Gojira are in their early to mid forties

[@13ninjakill]

I saw carnifex about 10 years ago. It was in pittsburgh. I saw scott and gave him a hug and he was not happy but i was. Then i went outside to smoke after they played. I stood at the top of the stairs and yelled "I DIDNT CHOOSE HELL!!" And everyone else yelled "HELL. CHOSE. ME!!". It was rad

[@colinwood897]

I love Scott! Would you ever interview Alex Koehler as well? I know Chelsea Grin was 2nd wave deathcore but I’m curious what he’s been up to.

[@lornaraine3570]

He's a rapper. Grudges

[@kabelosehanka8302]

such a great episode!

[@SorceressWitch]

I got into metal through metalcore but never got into deathcore until after getting into death metal. I enjoy all different types of metal and genres outside of metal. I don't see the point in hating on people for liking something else. That's why I just enjoy what I like.

[@TrealFOET]

I think you would have had to been in the scene back when deathcore 1st started blowing up... death metal fans hated deathcore cause it was nothin but breakdowns, the vocals were different, plus back then it was bands having hella fun putting in family guy clips and random other clips before the breakdown.. it was fun asf where deathmetal was so damn serious all the time lol.. i miss those days so much even todays deathcore takes itself too serious its not like it was back then

[@theepicsundaypodcast2313]

You are a great interviewer. This was really cool!

[@Metalballs50]

As a former Emerson employee I have to LOL at your mention. Good luck with the "new management"

[@JamesonNichols]

Hell chose me is in my top ten metal albums

[@ml610]

Another great one. 🤘🏼

[@LAkingsLA90]

Carnifex and suicide silence are the cannibal to the people out there that started out with morbid, cannibal, suffocation etc. and people born in the 90 up all migrated when both your bands plus the other OG’s like knights of the abyss and elysia, impending doom and many more came out and we never looked back. u guys kick ass fuck the river keep doing you

[@YoungxGandalf]

Great podcast. 🤘

[@mrs_death_metal_]

Diggin' your shirt, Chris! 🤘

[@bigMCLR]

My fave podcast ever🤘

[@deadmind3]

Time to miss korn merchs lol

[@bigMCLR]

Scott!!!🤘🤘

[@user-ed7rk3ff5f]

Wow! That's great!

[@neighborhooddragon2330]

Sweet interview

[@yourmomsucksameandick]

Scott is one of thee nicest humans period!

[@ricardomontoya6627]

Quiero ver esta entrevista en español.....

[@brunotortorello8530]

On the complement stuff, my old band opened for suicide silence last time you guys were in Brazil and after we did the sound check you guys were clapping and Eddie complimented my vocals so yeah, the right person complimenting you can get you a longa way hahaahahah

[@Aaronlovesmusic970]

Im so fucking happy this podcast exists! Just found it definitely a new fan!!! Fuck yeah

[@DavidAllenMD]

My bands about to go on our fit day tour it exciting

[@fareedzairavarathar2865]

When Scott talking his voice familiar to Corey Taylor 🤣

[@verReviews]

Carnifex walked so modern deathcore could run

[@TrealFOET]

1:23:45 thats when whitechapel was signed to S.O.A.R (Siege Of Amida Records) they had the best deathcore bands back then i swear lol

[@Blahblahblahyayayay]

See you at Chaos and carnage 2023 mr. G

[@irfanindrianarsyah1013]

thanks for add some Indonesian subtittle Chris!

[@giovannilobeira9688]

51:10 when scott said hit up the guys on DI? Anyone know which band is it?

[@buckwilicker]

Di = Despised Icon

[@giovannilobeira9688]

@@buckwilicker aah okay thanks bro

[@Samuraijake93]

anyone else notice chris calls scott shawn At the end lol

[@hymnsfromtheapocrypha]

Bring Phil Bozeman, would be awesome too

[@William_Earl]

Honestly, anyone who still relates modern deathcore with the late 2000's deathcore, hasn't listened to any deathcore in the last 10 years. It has come a very long way.

[@brandishtheblade]

Very true, had to argue with some guy because he said deathcore hasn't progressed since 2007 lol.

[@Deathworg1]

SCOTT IS GOD

[@TimmyTurner421]

1:08:25 That record overall got fantastic reviews. Outrageous how anyone could rate it only 2/10. I mean even the metal elitists on Sputnikmusic rate Carnifex very highly because they're too good of a band to be denied.

[@Faygo33]

I really like Carnifex as a band they're definitely one of the best I never really understood why people didn't give deathcore more credit and respect I mean metalcore is definitely more respected and accepted I always thought that deathcore would be greatly appreciated and loved since it's very death metal influenced and falls under the extreme metal banner like any of the bands in the genre could tour with any of the big death metal bands and hold down as far as that decibel review for slow death that's just unprofessional and shitty journalism the guy just wrote about how much he hates deathcore doesn't even speak on the music which is what a review is meant to be I hope he was fired when it comes to publications the staff should really know what everyone is into so that when something comes out the person reviewing it can give a fair and honest review or if they're not into a genre then be respectful about it and give a fair go or familiarize yourself with the music I've seen many people give such reviews as the one given to slow death and I read it and go then you shouldn't of written the review in the first place your disdain invalidates the whole thing and it makes these people look like complete dicks

[@buckwilicker]

Bring on Wyatt from Last Ten! Also, Become the Hunter was a solid release and I'm excited to see what yall put out next.

[@DavidAllenMD]

Carnifex is big tho hes talking like there not unless he means when they first started

[@LP-ec7hw]

👌🏼👌🏼 🔥🔥🔥

[@vanverdants7852]

see, the brutalest people speaking in ordinary language instead of talking in strange alien languages

[@JzSage]

I gotta say, the story at 1:05:00 is kind of ridiculous. I mean imagine you're an agent and the band says they want to take 3 years to write an album. Fuck that agent though

[@oscarsaucedo7887]

Gojira aren’t on their fifties Mario is 40 and Joe is 44 come on not that old 😂

[@pablobonnin5460]

Sub español ???😡😡😤
