See You Next Tuesday x CHOP7TIMES – Brothers EP Deep Dive (Grindcore / Noisegrind Interview) #150
The Metal Maniacs PodcastShow Notes
Episode 150 of the Metal Maniacs Podcast is here, and we’re going heavy. Hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd sit down with Drew Slavik of See You Next Tuesday along with CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP CHOP (CHOP7TIMES) to break down their brutal collaborative release, “Brothers.”
We dive deep into the creative process behind the EP, how this unique collaboration came together, and what it means to fuse grindcore chaos with noisegrind intensity. Drew gives insight into producing, engineering, and mixing the record, while Chop brings perspective from the raw, one-man noisegrind side of things.
The Brothers EP draws inspiration from The Brothers’ War (Magic: The Gathering lore), telling a split narrative: – Side A (See You Next Tuesday) from Urza’s perspective – Side B (CHOP7TIMES) from Mishra’s perspective
We talk themes of conflict, creation, destruction, and how those ideas translate into some of the most aggressive music in the underground right now.
