CR sits down (with one nasty ass cold) with one of the godfather Death Metal vocalists of the pioneering Florida band Brutality, Scott Reigel. Scott shares his journey throught the rise and fall of 90s Death Metal, what is was like, and why Brutality may have missed the mark with record labels and the boom within the Florida Death Metal explosion.

C.R. is joined by Jason from @Angerot in this in-studio sitdown conversation with Matt from @CryptopsyDeathMetal and the host of @VoxandHops podcast. Cryptopsy was in town for the night on tour with Nile, as Matt stopped in for a couple of beers and to chat about the new album, touring, the history of Cryptopsy and some great insight into what makes Matt tick as a human. We had a great time and hope to catch up with Matt again soon!SPONSOR: Grindcore Coffee Co. https://grindcorecoffeeco.com/00:00 - Welcome to Episode 1401:30 - Touring for the New Album03:15 - Let's Start With Some Beers..Whatcha Got?
