On this episode of Good Noise Podcast, I’m joined by Meredith Henderson and Michael Clampitt from VCTMS to talk about their EP Pain Processing II. We dive into the intensity and emotional weight behind the release, unpacking the themes of trauma, healing, and self-reflection that drive the project.

Meredith and Michael share insight into the writing process, the experiences that shaped Pain Processing II, and how the EP builds on the band’s sound while pushing into even more raw and vulnerable territory. We also talk about catharsis, honesty in heavy music, and what this release represents for VCTMS moving forward.
