🎙 **Metal Maniacs Podcast – Episode 105**

**"Living Dissection: Filth, Fury & the Future of Slam"**

Hosted by **Jay Ingersoll** & **Modd**

In this episode, we sit down with Detroit’s own **slammy death metal juggernauts**, **Living Dissection** — a band dripping in brutality, precision, and passion. From grotesque riffs to guttural breakdowns, Living Dissection is helping put Michigan on the map for **slam and brutal death metal**, and we dive deep into their past, present, and what’s still to come.

🔥 **Members Featured:**

* **Troy** – Guitarist, original vocalist, founding member

* **James** – New vocalist bringing the fury

* **Mike** – Guitarist, a.k.a. “The Witch”

* **Ben** – Blastbeat machine on drums

We cover everything from the **origin of the band's name** (yes, there's a **Cannibal Corpse** connection 👀) to the real grind of songwriting, practicing, and gigging as an extreme metal unit in the Midwest. This is a must-listen for fans of underground brutality and DIY hustle.

🧠 **Topics Covered:**

* How the band was formed and where it all began

* Transition of members and how that’s impacted the sound

* Band chemistry & writing dynamics — riffs, solos, slams, and song structures

* Practice regimens, live prep, and navigating stage chaos

* Tone, gear, tuning preferences, and recording setups
