Mental Anguish (The Band & The State of Mind)

Ever wondered where a Grindcore band finds inspiration? The Grims find out when they chat with Mental Anguish from Buffalo! They meet and roast guitarist Carl for the first time, delve into the band's origins, explore the differences between Mental Anguish and Anthropic, uncover their writing process, and discuss their latest EP and potential future recordings. And, of course, no episode is complete without a completely absurd game of 'Would You Rather'!
