Listen up! This is available now on all platforms here: https://linktr.ee/thebrooklynblastfurnace Cuz Joe and I sat down for an hour and a half. We start off talking about the hypocrisy and lies surrounding what was going to be a show in Tompkins Square Park to benefit Jesse Malin. But it worked out and it was moved to this Friday night at Irving Plaza. We go into this years BnB Bowl where Agnostic Front is celebrating and 40 years of "Victim in Pain". From the new NYC Tattoo and Arts Convention at Terminal 5 to stories about The Outlaw Vinnie Stigma, reminiscing about past BnB Bowls to the East Village Radio show coming back. This was a lot of fun to do. He'll definitely be back on whenever something is coming up. Thanks for your time, Cuz. Respect. Support BlacknBlue Productions.

It's Clobberin' Time!!! The return of Lou Koller of Sick Of It All has dropped on all platforms. It's been several years since he was on the podcast. A lot has happened since we last had a conversation like this. "Scratch The Surface" turned 30 years old, "Blood, Sweat and No Tears" turned 35! "Death To Tyrants" turned 18, and "Based On A True Story" made its 14th revolution around the sun. We talk about all of that. From anniversaries, to the impact of the pandemic on touring, to recording a new record. We might talk about Craig Ahead and wonder why a particular band is his choice as a benchmark for hardcore. From Steven Seagal to miniature ponies to the recording of "Wake The Sleeping Dragon"... we cover a lot. We go for just under two hours after we both wondered what we were going to talk about. This was a lot of fun, a lot of laughs, and was awesome to catch up with him. The utmost respect.

My guest on this episode was years overdue to join me on the podcast. My friend, singer for Everybody Gets Hurt, Red Eyed Devil, formerly of Terror Ave. and Setback... Vato Rob Cullin aka Twiggz, aka Rob EGH aka Rob IDS. The guitarist, Miami Frank and drummer, Mario for EGH make cameos for a couple of minutes. We talk about everything from the early days of EGH and how Terror Ave. was spawned. We go into the initial break-up of EGH and into Red Eyed Devil. Along with the music of Red Eyed Devil, which was an honor for me to sit and witness its progression from the first and second demos and the full length record. Rob talks about how him and bass player Chris B. met and their long-lasting friendship since Junior High School. Rob is one of my favorite humans on the planet and has nothing but respect for him and each and every one of the members of the band. Rest in Peace, Lil Gregg Heyward. We all miss ya, kid! Enjoy.

Joe Stanley is the guest on this episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace. I had him on very briefly during a This Is Hardcore Festival back in 2017. This time around, we have a full conversation about what he has been up to as well as his new charity, PERSEVERANCE that supports Veterans. He is a combat veteran himself and has seen his share of conflict. Joe is a great guy and I have nothing but the utmost respect for him and what he is doing in order to give back to veterans with PTSD.

You were warned, and I knew it was gonna happen. Prepare yourself for a barrage of banter, jokes, offensive language, and nonsense from four underground rappers and producers. Diabolic has been on several times before, as has Coast Locastro. I hit up Nightwalker to see if he was down to come on the podcast, and he was, and told me he just wrapped a record with A.M. Early Morning, so it would be cool to talk about it. We go from why Coast is wearing Amazon sunglasses in a dark room, why a couple of us live like cavemen and don't have the new, fancy bidet models, to inclement weather, the mafia, gangs in Chicago, my book Relatively Unscathed and what Coast ate for dinner earlier that night. Strap in because it's a chaotic one. Respect.

The one and only Sal Bbruscato is my guest on this episode of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace. We speak about growing up in Brooklyn in the mid-eighties into the nineties and how he wound up meeting Peter Steele. From playing drums in Toximia to becoming a member of Type O Negative. We discuss recording Slow, Deep and Hard as well as Bloody Kisses. We touch on his time in Life Of Agony for a bit as well as recording River Runs Red. Then into him creating A Pale Horse Named Death. He has a new project in the works which we discuss as well, King of the Locusts. I hope he releases some new material sooner than later. This was, as always, a fun conversation to have. Respect.

I have been wanting to have a conversation with my guest for a few years. He was ridiculously busy, then a pandemic got in the way, and then I killed off the podcast for a couple of years. He's since semi-retired and less busy, the pandemic is over, and the podcast is back from the dead. My guest is the legend himself, Louie Beato. Drummer for Carnivore, Fallout, and Agnostic Front. We talked about everything from the above-mentioned bands to Lenny & John's Pizza, Animal Hall, iguanas, and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre to the unfortunate and tragic passing of Peter Steele and Keith Alexander. This was a lot of fun to do. Thanks again for your time, Louie!

Something a bit different. I sit down with my friend Kevin Bednarz for a laid-back discussion. He is a ridiculous artist, an entrepreneur as well as a member of the Delta Bravo Urban Exploration Team. I met him through Danny Boy O'Connor at the All-Star Comic Con, a convention he put together, in which Danny was a guest. We talk everything from his pop-up art show, to tracking down film locations as well as the book I'm writing. Kevin is one of the good ones.

I sat down with my good friend, Michael Alago. Known for being a former A&R executive for Elektra and Geffen Records. He signed Metallica as well as White Zombie, amongst many others. His documentary "Who the Fuck is that Guy? The Fabulous Journey of Michael Alago" is incredible, as is his memoir, "I Am Michael Alago: Breathing Music, Signing Metallica, Beating Death. We speak on all of the above and go off on several tangents. One of my favorite conversations I've had on the podcast for sure. Hilarious. Enjoy. Intro by Phil LoCastro and Joseph A.

My man Coast returns to the podcast. He was initially on along with Diabolic a couple years back. We talk everything from his new record Slash Coast, his Wu-Locastro ep, to filming movies, along with his role in the upcoming movie Even the Score. We are all over the place here, from growing up in the Bronx and both of us living like we were on the set of a Scorcese film to mentally ill girls, gabagool and syphilis. Enjoy.

Danny Marianino returns along with special guest Mick Lambrou. Danny, known for being the singer for the North Side Kings and knocking out little Glen Danzig, along with releasing several books. Never Punch A Rock Star, It Blows My Mind, To Make Matters Worse, and several others. Mick is a native Australian and incredible cartoonist. They joined forces to create It Blows My Mind, which has a part two being released soon. The banter in this episode is hilarious. We could have gone for two more hours, easily. Enjoy!

I was looking forward to having this conversation with Michael "IBeam" Cline. He wrote an incredible book, "New York City Junky Days," which chronicles his downward spiral into heroin addiction in the East Village. We talk all about his addiction, as well as his recovery. He also took all of the photographs in the Agnostic Front, "Last Warning" album, which was recorded live at CBGB in December of 1992. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did doing it. Respect.

This one is dedicated to Brendan "Stu" Maguire. This is the third time I've had Aaron on the podcast. One of my favorite people to chop it up with for sure. As you already may know, whenever I record an episode, there's no telling what direction it will go. This one is no exception. I reached out to him a few months back to come back on the show, but the timing just wasn't right, and rightfully so with the passing of Stu, the surprise set Bane did at the "We're With Stu" benefit show, in which he was supposed to be at and several other factors. So, I gave it time... and here we are. The timing this time around was impeccable. "Letting go is never easy to do Everyday's a new door that we all must go through..." Thank you all for listening.

Hail! Legendary Norwegian Black Metal musician... Tom Visnes... better known as "King ov Hell" or simply, "King". He has played in several bands from Gorgoroth, God Seed, Abbath, Ov Hell, Audrey Horne, Sahg and I. We talk a little bit about his bands and black metal. How he was literally charged in a court of law for blasphemy... but mostly about the state of the world and the insane amount of deceit that has been slowly brainwashing society over hundreds of years. From government to falling in line with political ideology, religion, climate change, covid and flat earth. Yes... flat earth. We discuss all of it. Super interesting guy for sure.

Singer for the North Side Kings, author of several books including "Never Punch A Rockstar" which is a book compiled of hate mail and death threats from fans of Glenn Danzig, who was knocked out cold by my guest... the hilarious Danny Marianino.

One of the founding members of two of my all-time favorite Straight Edge Hardcore bands... "Youth Of Today" and "Judge" as well as "Project X" and "Shelter". He's done stints in "Bold", and "Gorilla Biscuits". He ran "Schizm" Records and currently owns a Straight Edge clothing line, "True Till Death". My guest on Episode 252 of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace Podcast is none other than John "Porcell" Porcelly (Paramananda Dasa), also known as The Hardcore Yogi. This conversation felt like it was 15 minutes long. We start off with his Yoga practice and where you can find him online to participate, then quickly go into how he grew up, his early influences, his first bands, the formation, break-up and reformation of "Youth Of Today", the same with "Judge", new music he's working on with a new band, new "Shelter" music and the indescribable feeling of when you hear that particular song at a specific time in your life that literally changes your entire path.

Detroit Hardcore! Way back on Episode 185, I had Enzo D. on the podcast... he's back again, but this time he's joined by his brother Jake Bulldog on Episode 251 of The Brooklyn Blast Furnace Podcast. We chop it up about what's new with their band Dogz of War Detroit Hard Core, their long anticipated new record, being signed to a label, as well as a bunch of banter and old Detroit stories. When hardcore guys are on the show, the usual suspects are always mentioned... Jeff Gunnells from Cold As Life, BEAST from H8Inc., Ratbones and Rawn Beauty. It's always a good time speaking with the guys from the D. They all have an open door policy whenever they feel like talking or promoting something they're working on. Respect.
