Episode Description
This week we are joined by guitarist and grindcore scholar Jack McBride (Bandit) to explore the enduring legacy of Florida’s Maruta and dive into their pummeling sophomore album, Forward Into Regression.
Released via Willowtip Records nearly 15 years ago, Forward Into Regression remains a milestone of technically proficient death metal mixed with the unhinged ferocity of grindcore.
We’ll break down the band’s history, the massive production and riffs behind the record, and why this underrated classic is essential listening for any fan of extreme music!
