Terminus Interview - Trash

In Episode 27 of Terminus, we reviewed Forbidden Rites, the debut full-length of a band called only "Trash." Their chugging Florida-man thrash metal sounds like no single other band, but makes surprising connections between all manner of 80s and 90s filth.

On this special episode of Terminus, The Death Metal Guy shoots the shit with frontman Zach. He leads TDMG through Trash's unusual range of influences, as well as the nuts and bolts of their songwriting process, from the joys of sampling a hurdy-gurdy to the challenges of writing his unusually detailed, rhythmically tailor-made lyrics.

Throughout, they explore the differences between what Millenial and Zoomer metalheads listen to, how they get into it, and what they actually hear when they listen to it. Zach comes across as an understated, witty dude with a singular perspective on metal, and a fearless willingness to get raw.
