TO THE GRAVE | Garza Podcast 106

[@Sjguitarpnw]

been listening to TTG since 2016! so glad they are getting much deserved recognition.

[@KYLO_JEN]

I saw To The Grave at the end of last year with Carnifex and thought they were great, but once Dane started talking about animal rights on stage, I was intrigued. That’s something very important to me. My friend literally got a picture of me standing there BEAMING at the stage. After their set I immediately went to their merch booth get a shirt, and then I talked to Dane for a few minutes about being plant based. He gave me a hug and was so kind. Funny now that he says the convos at the merch booth could be draining because he was so friendly. 😂 What an amazing band, they made a huge fan out of me right away.

[@narcissus79]

Nah, that shit turned me off, much the same when Rise Against did it. I came for music, not to be lectured to.

Such a legendary band !! Every episode is awesome, you're killing it man 🤘🏻💜🔥

[@northernxdarkness]

Love and much respect to the band for speaking out against animal cruelty, especially in deathcore. I wish more people would speak up about it and inform. It's common in Hardcore, but not that much in metalcore and deathcore and I think it's a really important topic.

[@narcissus79]

Nobody cares!

[@demon-goat]

@@narcissus79 I care

[@amirb1938]

Yeah keep it to the shitcore scene nobody cares about that

More animals are killed from farming/equipment/land destruction like soybeans, avocados, etc

[@kaimcbeth5015]

​@@sbrosier2383 A study from the Journal of Agricultural & Environmental ethics on crop production deaths shows that meat eating kills up to 150x more animals than eating plants. Try again dude.

[@caustichymnproductions]

Thank you TTG for speaking up for the helpless and thank you Garza for giving bands a platform to speak their minds.

[@METALHEAD2022]

Fuck Yeah!! After a year or so of begging and pleading, To The Grave is finally on the podcast. Thank You Garza and To The Grave.

[@landenx]

Saw them last month with Carnifex. I hadn’t heard of them before. They killed it! I left the concert with one of their shirts 🔥

[@timmystoner7219]

Best death metal or deathcore band out right now love these guys

[@JosephClarke-c7m]

Not even close.. Chelsea grin slaughter to prevail are better

[@John.AR.Activism]

Loving these guys for advocating for the billions of defenseless animals here, gonna check out their music now.

[@ChrisWasHere86]

I saw that To The Grave was touring with Carnifex so I decided to check them out and I’m so glad I did. They’re so awesome and definitely one of my new favorite bands. Keep it up guys!

[@The_KlaVra]

I remembered a few years ago, I entered their discord and it was just this small band and look out where they are now... Congrats on the success TTG, your argentinian old pal KlaVra

[@SoopaGaming]

I actually discovered TTG earlier this year. I found at they were Aussie and thought "Damn, it's going to be hard AF to see them live". About 2 weeks later Carnifex announced the tour and I lost my shit. Got to catch them in Columbus, got a pic with Dane and picked up some merch. These guys are legit as fuck.

[@Dayz-yl9dq]

Never heard of this band before - and I’m hooked just off of this convo. Love their energy, the kinds of things on their mind and open about. Would love to see them talk more about diff topics! Great guest choice! (Also- their music SLAPS, cheers to new music ❤)

[@markavery6713]

Only discovered them this year & when I did, immediately followed & listened to their whole catalog same time. Amazing doesn't even come close. So talented & on point with slams, meaningful lyrics & great videos. So glad Garza got them on here. 🤘👊🥁🖤🤘👊🥁🖤🖤

[@TStizzle19]

"part time driver, full time mosher" what a legend

And the Devourment shirt just makes it even better

[@DamnSkippy127]

These dudes were amazing live too 🔥 would love to see them again

[@131]

i have so much respect for them being vegan. the world needs to change.

[@JosephClarke-c7m]

😂😂 cry harder.. I'll think of you as I have a nice steak tonight

[@131]

@@JosephClarke-c7m you eating steak doesn’t bother me joseph, i’m used to being around people who consume animal products. all your comment does is show me how little you know about veganism. if you’d like to learn a thing or two, i’d be happy to educate you.

[@thedarkrose6478]

So happy to see them on the podcast, amazing guys!🔥❤

[@Michael-fb5ek]

Fantastic interview. Glad I discovered this band! Super cool dudes and the interview was incredible. New sub.

[@brandonmendenhall5052]

best heavy band right now,

[@LaGGyXdm]

Saw them on this tour. Hell of a show. Super nice guys. Signed my vinyl in Detroit. Directors Cuts and Offcuts was so good.

[@Hardley_Normal]

Finally!!!! 🙌🙌🖤🖤🖤 definitely Aussies finest deathcore band 🔥🔥🔥

[@narcissus79]

certainly have moved up in rankings since TAIM screwed the pooch by firing Big Papa CJ

[@justinsane6661]

I saw To The Grave here in North Carolina last month, after listening to them since 2018. They're such a phenomenal band live

[@smitty_jay3781]

These guys make me think about the animals I eat. Can’t wait for found footage hoodie in the mail

[@GreenSmog17]

Bands got me through some tough times. First discovered them on youtube then listened to epilogue and been a fan ever since!

[@malikaioliver6191]

[@smitty_jay3781]

I gave my all for ttg on that tour when they came through nc

[@RebeIMate]

22:11 that is just great notion 🙌 Because I've actually wondered how is it possible that every band that comes from Australia is almost always way better than most of the bands from everywhere else...

[@trn228]

Love TTG so much

[@justinsane6661]

Garza should definitely get The Black Dahlia Murder to come on the podcast. Now that they're soon gonna be releasing a new album, and have a solid lineup after Trevor's passing. RIP Papa Trev 🤘

[@jarrett1000rr]

It's funny how i heard of these guys. I was at a small record store looking for deathcore and i found a copy of epilogue. Instantly loved it.

[@TheGoddamnBareBear666]

The pig mask and apron are AMAZING🤘🐻🤘

Protect and save the animals

[@xClaydogzx]

Seen those guys for nearly a decade with the old line up before Dane joined the band, time flies honestly

[@tothegravesolosdeathcoretbh]

My first ever concert was immediately after covid here in aus and it was the epilogue headline tour two days after me 18th and it was deadass one of the best moments in my life lmoa. So fucken stoked these boys just ran through the us and are getting some well deserved recognition. Ttfg will run the deathcore scene one day.

Thanks for speaking on us Juggalos in a positive manner, most of us are metalheads! WhoopWhoop!

[@payton846]

the big thing that got me into TTG was the "many men wished death and now we tread on them" line being (maybe?) a Many Men reference. then I heard the Dracarys line in Shock Tactics and was like okay these guys are clever.

I'm so glad Simon has come around to veganism. I was greatly surprised and disappointed to be honest to find out he was not vegan while in the band. Easily one of my favorite bands of the last half century.

[@necrotizing_growth]

The mothafuckin bois! Sad I didn't get a chance to see them live, but I know there will a next time. From your discord son, Smith ❤

[@hhaste]

The real problem is food waste. What they were talking about with having enough food for 12 billion people, the rest of it is being thrown away. Employees are forced to throw out so many pounds of food each day & that's only at one restaurant. Adding up all of the different food places in just the US equals an insane amount of food wasted each and every day. That food could easily be given to homeless etc. The employees aren't even allowed to get it out of the trash, if they wanted to or they risk being fired.. even if they were to do it off the clock, on their own time. The laws surrounding that make no sense.

[@aonghasshearer-boyd1557]

[@seanbrando_7456]

I am a dog lover........I used to think metal and politics should never mix. I am more of an old hardcore punk guy but I love a lot of black metal and some death metal/death core. I do respect you're speaking out for what you believe, that being said- I have no problem with someone hunting food and using the animal for food. If I ever caught someone in the woods shooting a deer and leaving it lay for the mount ONLY the head to mount I might just beat the fuck outta them if not worse. That thing about the chickens is fucked mate.........I had no idea they did that to the poor little males. It's a lot to think about. I guess I should finish by saying, I'm not against carnivores but I am against stupidity and ignorance and especially downright cruelty. Keep up the good fight boy's....we may not agree on some details but I respect what your doing.

[@tylerm8145]

I'm skeptical of the bit where he says dairy tastes fucked. Feels disingenuous and I think he's convinced himself to feel that way. Obviously it's all very subjective, but I've tried many dairy alternatives and they're fucking trash. The closest I've come is "edible". Nothing can compare to real, well-made ice cream. Sorry.

[@kyletaylor1986]

Hunting is conservation and needed. Respect these dudes but they are uneducated on ethical hunting. You can live in a city and go hunting once or twice a year and harvest enough meat to hold you all year long.

[@kaimcbeth5015]

How is that practical for 8 billion people?

[@kyletaylor1986]

@@kaimcbeth5015 never said it was. But I also view animals as a resource. For us to eat. Everything in life is consumed.

[@hhaste]

Lol.. these guys make me laugh. They sit there and say "There's other solutions right in front of our face" yet they don't have any.. without hunting, comes the overpopulation of animals which literally leads to the extinction of species. Overhunting is also still an issue, it's not a perfect solution but just the right amount of hunting is required, weather it's for food or not.

[@andreasvandieaarde]

They were talking about hunting for food specifically. Hunting to manage overpopulation is another topic.
