Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 12: Matt Hyde of Beastwars (New Zealand)

Lingua Brutallica

In this episode, we return to the New Zealand metal scene by interviewing Matt Hyde, the vocalist of Wellington's sludge metal band Beastwars. Throughout the interview, we touch on the changes in Matt's writing style over time, how he has learned to weave his personal experiences into his music, and the ways that songs can become "spells". Further, Matt's straightforward expression and propensity for monosyllabic words, allows listeners to more easily connect with the stories composed in Beastwars' songs and relate it to their own experiences with adversity.
