In Episode 101, after our last Spanish session being located in Portugal with none other than The Voynich Code, we forge and set into Music History our first Barcelona local session with Phrymerial, a Technical Slamming Deathcore Quartet, currently signed and associated with Miasma Records, their newest full-length album being "Earth Wonderland"!
In Episode 100, we return to Pennsylvania with the company of Tony $lam to host Mason "Mars" and Christian or Chrissy of Dabs for their first full-length "The Cannaboid Epoch", featuring the prior #crosscast guest vocal talents of Dylan Malacuso from Belvebuth!
In Episode 99, since my first ever collaboratory effort vocally for the then guest project, we hosted Allan Hull, the sole member of Melodic Death Metal outburst Endure My World, in regards to the project's first full-length and second installment for the Chaos Construct narrative: "Chaos's Bane & The Bastard Plane"!
-In Episode 98, manifested since 2022 working the frozen cold nights at Costco whilst listening to "Authority Through Intimidation", and then recommended by none other than tattoo artist and New-Gen Deathcore legend #daneevans from #tothegraveau, we finally host Don Campan, vocalist of both Waking The Cadaver and Dripping NJ!
-In Episode 97, with the help of Tony $lam , we hosted our first rap session with KrazyWhiteBoy and Freakshow from BioFreak Records! Such an entertaining and loose conversation, and I look forward to getting to know both Slim, Freak, and the rest of the BioGang when the time comes!
-In Episode 96, we hosted Erich Waadeland once more, in a more relaxed session to continue our conversation and talk all things relevant to Celestial Scourge and their first full-length album "Observers Of The Inevitable", now out through Time To Kill Records!
-In Episode 95, we hosted Nick Cross from Nashville local Blackened Thall band Divisive TN and Jade from the Misfit Minutes Podcast, backed by Total Deathcore! Whether us listening to Divisive's newest album "Death Anxiety", our conversations with Nick, or going Under The Skin of Death Anxiety, Episode 95 will be one for the books as we get closer to our first 100 Episodes!
-In Episode 94, and all thanks to The Reclaimers, a Facebook Community where the fanbase of Shadow Of Intent reside on the internet, we kickstart our networking to the island of Malta, located in the Mediterranean Sea, engulfed then by so much culture, with bassist Claudio( who also plays for Abysmal Torment and Beheaded, and then knows Death Metal legends ClubMurder as well), and their newest addition, Jack on guitar from Deathcore band Haine! -Their music is a fascinating take on #myspacedeathcore, the people behind the band are so sweet and humble, annnnd I personally look forward to, with Claudio and Jack's help, host every Malta local band we ever do! Here's to that future! Cheers!
In Episode 93, we reach farther into Northern Europe interviewing Celestial Scourge from Norway! In the "first-date" session, we hosted vocalist Eirik Waadeland and double entry as bassist and founding member Stian Gundersen, who also plays bass in Blood Red Throne!
-To host a band where some of my (Sean Cross) religious advocation roots back to(which we do talk about in session), but not only that but hosting two individuals who have such an important role currently in the Norwegian Counterculture scene, we look forward to hosting Celestial Scourge right back on very soon for their new full-length album with art done by Cesar Aldrian "Observers Of The Inevitable" as it is due to hit public domain February 28th through!Until then, thank you for watching!
-In Episode 92, with the help of new #necrothuggin cohost @tonyxslam we interviewed Nick of his(for now) solo slam project @Backyardsavagery, listened to the entirety of his new solo album, and apparently we learned such humbling things about Nick, who I think will be the future of Utah local Slam and it's prolific future artists, especially whenever Nick acquires other members for a live setting!
In Episode 91, for the first time in 2025, we are able to release a Crosscast right alongside premiere for an up-and-coming band, but not only that: this will also be our first MySpace Revival Edition session of the year with none other than Maryland local Zach Diebold of EyeSawGod!
-In this whopping four hour session, me, The Orc King, and Zach discussed a great many amazing things about the MySpace era, they happened to remember their first interaction years ago whilst Zach was playing with Thus Spoken Zarathustra, we talked about the supernatural, about the LA fires and our agreed take on #projectbluebeam, and lyrical dissected EyeSawGod's new EP "Echoes Of A Dying World"!
-Pleasure to have Zach on, as well as have him cook up the show's new MySpaced TAC Intro, and I look forward to every Revival MySpace Deathcore project we happen to host on the show this year!
In Episode 89, after a year fermenting in a glass orange fanta bottle down in Fresno, and well after the release of both "Misery Eternal" EPs, we finally welcomed and hosted Jay Muller ( The Breakdown King) and Michael Villalta from Reminitions CA! In this session, we talked about the rabid energy Reminitions plans to bring to the stage every night as long as they are a band, we talked about the importance of marketing strategy and learning how to make yourself stand out in a crowd, Jay confirmed a new mindset of writing music in the band so that Reminitions can open for so many more bands, and most importantly: soooo many bands recommended for the show from the CA area! -Pleasure to have Jay and Michael on for the first date session with this band, and I look forward to what they cook up and have ready in the kitchen for 2025!
In Episode 89, originally intended for upload in March of 2024, we hosted the entirety of Russian Slam band Axiomatic Dematerialization!
-With now the release of this session, my bigger intention is to give bands whose primary language is not English an idea of how we would plan to handle things going forward, and I wished to state that we welcome bands from all countries around the world, and would love to even hear you utilizing your host language on the Crosscast! Here's to all the countries we have yet to reach out to!
In Episode 88, we welcomed with open arms one of the first individuals and personalities who has ever requested on multiple occasions to get on the show Tony $lam! This guy has a Rap project associated with his name, and then he's involved in Infantectomy, Vaginal Prolapse, and now Planet Putrefyed! Plenty of stuff we talked about in this session, and watch until the end for an awesome announcement that will change the show forever going into 2025!
In Episode 87, we welcomed back one of our favorite bands Invirulant, but more specifically we welcomed Ernie "Nine Coffins" , their new drummer onto the show who gave us one of the most intimate and in-depth gear talk, we talked about my first experience going on tour with a band, and then the anticipation of the near future of Invirulant, as well as the boys welcoming me onboard for future touring experiences as their Merch Guy!
3 Years later now seemingly with the release date window, in Episode 86(66) we had Derrek Connolly of Nitheful, Mr Unholy Cannoli, and future effort Loutermilch return to the show to help us understand and then afterwards promote the redone, ramastered and polished version of his main band's first EP into Album "Paradism Ruination"! After then lyrically dissecting "Paradism Ruination LP" we made some other incredible announcements as well that I think will shake the Crosscast as we know it going into the near future!
-Another one of our legacy bands returning to the Crosscast, in Episode 85 we offered an epic shounen "Welcome Back" to Franki and Suki Hyde from Kawaiicore Pioneers Lucrecia, and then my younger sister appeared for the first time on the show as well! In this episode, we brainstormed on the Lucrecia Club Patreon that they might cook up going forward to match the budget of the music videos and other efforts then correlating to their music going forward, we did a #seancrossfront2backsesh for "Meyneth", and we went Under The Skin with Franki and Suki's help for their debut EP "Meyneth"! It was so fun to relieving to finally get this session for "Meyneth" cooked up, and I look forward to the uncertain future as they prepare for us their first full-length Kawaiicore album!
3 Years and 4 months after our very first Podcast session period, we welcome Jack Simioni and the rest of Australian Deathcore band To The Grave back to the show. After all, the show has structure now!
We had plenty of laughs throughout this Podcast, me and Dane went Under The Skin of their new album, and Dane recommended that we host Bound In Far, Pintglass, and Waking The Cadaver sometime in the near future!
In Episode 82, we hopped across the pond to the UK to talk with Guitarist and Vocalist Radu Vulpe and Bassit Alin Iordache from Sci-Fi Horror/Thriller rooted Brutal Death Metal band Pathogenic Virulence!
In this Podcast we also thought to include the Front 2 Back Session as during the Front 2 Back Session is really the only time we would receive anything similar to Under The Skin as far as the movies and games that some of the tracks are meant to pay homage to whilst still attempting to develop an original sci-fi dystopian narrative!
It was so much fun welcoming another band from the UK, specifically London to our lineup, and as per Radu and Alin's recommendation, we will be reaching out to 357 Homicide and Spawn From Hate to host them on the show next, proceeding of course any bands we already have scheduled going into the near future!
-In Episode 81, now a couple months ago at the very least, we hosted guitarist Anders and vocalist Magnus from Traditional Death Metal band Gluttony! In this session, Magnus had the opportunity to reminisce upon his legacy in Swedish black metal bands that did indeed confirm certain horror stories and culture depicted in Lords of Chaos, both Anders and Magnus talked about reading of the events between both Mayhem and Burzum in their local newspaper, and they admitted that the formula of Gluttony as far as musical composition would be balancing heavy and simplicity!
