ON SOLID GROUND | Joe Alspach: Myspace, Inhales & Christian Deathcore BRUTALITY PODCAST 2025-09-06 | This week we are joined by Joe Alspach, the vocalist of now-defunct Christian deathcore band On Solid Ground. With a single release in 2007, we had a blast looking back on the early days of the band, recording at only 16 years old, Xanga, Myspace & playing with bands such as Whitechapel and Impending Doom in their very early days. We also go into what it was like being in a Christian band within the deathcore scene, crazy show stories, North Carolina lore & how show culture has changed over time.ON SOLID GROUND: secretswarmrecords.bandcamp.com/album/on-solid-groundFATAL VISION: fatalvisionnchc.bandcamp.com/album/fatal-vision-ep--------------------------------------------------------------------------SUPPORT BRUTALITY PODCAST:• Patreon: patreon.com/brutalitypodcast• Merch: indiemerchstore.com/collections/brutality-podcast• Get 10% off with code BRUTALITY at: indiemerchstore.com--------------------------------------------------------------------------SOCIALS:• Discord: discord.gg/SxCjyZkvSN• Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/brutalitypodcast• Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/brutalitypodcast• Playlists: open.spotify.com/playlist/3oXcCtn4icu9bxbd6aQXVy--------------------------------------------------------------------------CHAPTERS:00:00:00 - Teaser / Intro00:01:30 - Hello we are old00:03:34 - Conan / Mares Of Trace concert00:04:02 - Still going to shows00:06:18 - Getting into heavy music & mixed bills00:09:44 - Getting knocked out00:13:20 - Wanting to become a musician00:15:53 - Joining On Solid Ground00:17:41 - Vocal influences00:20:02 - Labels in metal00:22:14 - The Acacia Strain not wanting to be called deathcore00:28:11 - IndieMerchstore00:29:24 - Being in a Christian deathcore band00:34:41 - Christian metalcore vs Christian deathcore00:38:04 - For Today & preaching on stage00:43:36 - Metal database websites suck sometimes00:46:07 - Recording their album at 16 years old00:52:23 - Yan & Dom's studio experiences00:57:06 - Not taking music too seriously00:58:35 - Xanga00:59:30 - Myspace01:02:13 - Impending Doom & Brook Reeves01:10:08 - With Blood Comes Cleansing01:11:47 - North Carolina venues & shows01:13:41 - 2007 Whitechapel01:16:33 - Venues not allowing moshing01:23:25 - No re-entry venues are a scam01:26:55 - Wild shows01:32:43 - Weirdest show/venue01:37:39 - On Solid Ground breakup01:44:49 - On Solid Ground reunion shows01:48:41 - 2024 re-issue on vinyl01:52:27 - Making new music?01:56:07 - Do you still do inhales?#onsolidground #deathcore #myspacedeathcore

LOS ANGELES NIGHTMARE (Garza Podcast, Elysia & more) | Brutality Podcast EP 104 BRUTALITY PODCAST 2025-08-30 | What may sound like a cool hardcore band name is simply the reality of our recent trip to Los Angeles. We flew out of Montreal, Canada to go to sunny California for a few days, which included seeing the legendary Elysia at the equally legendary Chain Reaction alongside the homies in Rev3rent & In Which Divides Us. We were also invited to do the Garza Podcast, a surreal moment for us. Everything else during our trip though; a fever dream.
