OV SULFUR: Clean Singing in Deathcore, Dimmu Borgir & Gatekeeping Band Shirts | Garza Podcast 70 

Thank you so much for having us, and especially for the kind words about us and "Wide Open." You're a legend, and hearing you dig us so much is the coolest thing. Glad to be friends, man!

Thanks for having us bro, was such a great experience getting meet and sit down and talk, till next time 😈🤘🏻

This band is fantastic. Love the newer stuff I've been hearing. Let's get an album out boys!

Ricky tearing up man it's good to have these conversations

the laughs in this episode were so damn contagious. thanks for that!

I love these guys so much they're so down-to-earth man. I can't wait to see them live again

Loved all the laughs on this episode. Very contagious. 💥

Great pod, great vibes throughout this whole episode, keep it up Garza!!

I fucking love garzas podcasts man, as a huge metal fan & podcast listener, these are like god tier content

I used to get debilitating stomach pains at random all the time. It all stopped when I gave up energy drinks. There really is some terrible stuff in that. I switched to 5 hour energy years ago. It's a better burst of energy too. No jitters, no crash cuz there's no sugar. Also, I love this podcast. Keep it up!

Hell yea I can’t wait to watch this episode

WHAT A BAD ASS INTERVIEW!!1! So damn good.

I’ve watched a bunch of your interviews, and these guys seem like they’re best friends lol you gotta love that. I’m gonna check these guys out

I love these dudes, hope to see them live one day

Sorry for you loss! It's an amazing song and video.

Awesome pod cast!! I just checked these guys out. Really good stuff! 39:39 Yeah.. I remember "Pay to Play". It still happens unfortunately.. My band "HEAVE" did that for "Psycroptic", "Decrepit Birth" and "Fallujah" here at "The Whiskey a go go" last year. And then back in the day, when I joined a band in high school called [Omitted]. An "LA Hood" version of "Suicide Silence" and "Cannibal Corpse". Back in the day we paid to open up for bands like "Volumes" and "Glass Cloud".. Also at "The Whiskey".. With a $500 "Pay to Play" deposit fee where they give you tickets that YOU and the band have to sell or else they pocket the deposit money. Then you have to give back the reminding tickets to get your deposit back before you play on stage. It's great opening up for cool bands but the price needs to come down or the venues need to stop pocketing all the money. Venues even ask for a percentage of the band merch sales. Even with selling a lot of merch, bands today still struggle. Then you have venues that completely ignore the local metal acts in general like "The House of Blues" (Sunset location gone!) and "The Wiltern". Maybe back in the day "The Key Club", Old "Knitting Factory", were more open to having local metal acts here in the "Los Angeles/Hollywood area" but those places are gone now. Hopefully it can change so more heavy acts get a chance to get out there. Stay Brutal!

I saw these guys open up for Lorna Shore in Philly back in October and they were awesome!!! Come back to Philly!

Great guys. Been listening to them since the beginning. I knew they would get huge because they have an original sound that exceeds genre boundaries

Just noticed the dude wearing a knights of the abyss shirt. Dragon pie played in my head immediately. Brought back so many memories.

Nicest guys ever!!! 🖤

These dudes have the best connection between each other. Like they're all best friends. Saw them live in Baltimore, and they were INCREDIBLE

Great episode. TONS of laughs, but really tough to see Ricky getting so emotional. Mad respect & love for this band!

I saw Dimmu Borgir twice at little venues back in the day and they were so awesome. If/when they come back, I'm definitely seeing then again.

(SIC) video. Ricky and Mitch had always been my 2 favourite vocalists ever since I started listening to deathcore in around 2008. Glad to see Ov Sulfur killing it.

This shit made my day 🤘🏻 gonna listen to the new album now

Got a shoe singed by ov sulphur when I seen them with Lorna in Detroit these guys are fr some of the nicest guys ever

Met Ricky wayyyyyy back in the day when Suffokate toured with ABACABB and Sworn Enemy. He's a cool ass dude

You can do whatever you want in deathcore. No ones stopping you.

Ov sulfur is such a great band

28:45 haha this was a good one Garza 🤘😆🤘🎸

Ricky Hoover is a fucking legend. He doesnt get the respect he deserves for his days in suffocate. All the success Ov Sulfur sees is truly deserved.

Ricky and Chase rule! love the band!

The Boys!

I LOVE Ricky's vocals on the Bludgeoned tribute

Badass interview. Saw dimmu borgir with devildriver,Kataklysm, and unearth in San Antonio back in the day at Graham Central Station. Love the Ov Sulfur sound. Can't wait to check you guys live one day

Kazoo Core

Levi is so effortlessly funny 🤣

Loving your podcast, so much. Love that the guys are talking about Synthwave. Bands to check out Perturbator, Carpenter Brut, Dance With The Dead, Gost.

I saw these guys, Left to Suffer, and Carnifex in Kentucky. It was a fucking experience.

ICS Vortex is easily best cleans ever in metal and his parts are my favorite parts in most of the dimmu songs he sung on. His stuff with Arcturus was also very good.

seen dimmu with behemoth and keep of kalessin open for them in a smallerish venue in columbus and got to meet all of dimmu except shagrath..... vortex made me look so small such a big dude with a big voice

THE HOMIES

3 pre drinks a day dammmm

Suicide Silence are definitely undeniably pioneers of deathcore

Slice the cake has shown cleans have a place in deathcore

What kind of mic stands are these? 👀 looking to get a desk mic stand for my sm7b and those look perfect!

Get shrine of malice on!!!

1:10:00 I'm the same. I listen to albums and love them but I don't look up song titles (unless it's a grindcore album because the titles are usually hilarious). If it's good it's good. Recently listened to three albums of The Red Chord and couldn't name you one song but I loved the albums. Annoys me when people act like knowing song titles is a requirement of being a fan of a band

am i crazy or did i meet that dude tre at a worm shepherd show

Ok after my second rewatch, I caught you were talking to Bradley Zorgdrager aka Bradseed extraordinaire from Banger off screen. Have you seen his review of the self titled SS album? It did not hold back.

hey bro...can u try to get a band called dragged into sunlight

The music they make is so freaking good. This podcast also had me laughing a ton 🤣 Also, gate keeping is bullshit. Just let people enjoy good music! 🤘 Edit: I think clean singing in deathcore is fine as long as it is done well too. There is so much hate and no where does it say you can't have cleans...

Chris are you wear a super joint long sleeve?

Definitely a fan of their clean vocals in deathcore so keep it up! 🤘

these dimmu fans are jealous of lovato for seeing Dimmu Bogir live probably.

I love ov sulfer but wormshepard is one of favorites I hope tre is still in the band Metal as Fuck podcast though also Id drive you anywhere you want

Idk why you guys are acting like they're the first deathcore band to use clean singing. Literally, that's what metalcore is.

those dumb revolver videos brought me here.

Here's some suggestion for driving music @chase: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6zZGcbk5rMs.html Should keep everyone happy 😀

did you eat alot of food anc learn music like me im a cook i try to eat food when possible

Clean singing is fine but GOOOD clean vocals, ov sulfur is not the case of good clean vocals

I hate Vortex clean vocals in dimmu i stopped listening to them

clean singing in deathcore is realy terrible and it doesn't fit

Great band these guys are killing it, but I hate that edgy “we wanna piss ppl off” mentality. In my opinion clean singing just completely takes you out of deathcore that’s not deathcore anymore but that’s not to say the music is bad that’s not an insult. Deathcore is a genre many people, myself included, grew up with and hold near and dear to our hearts and it’s a genre that has never incorporated any sort of clean singing I hate to be one of those guys but there really is no place for clean singing in deathcore. It would be like Cannibal Corpse doing clean vocals and still calling themselves death metal it just doesn’t work. That’s not to take away from how talented these guys are they’re doing amazing but to me they’re just making Metal music at the end of the day it’s not deathcore.
