All Consuming Podcast

Matt from Remedial joins us to talk about his time fronting Exiting the Fall, returning to heavy music after nearly a decade, and the concept behind Remedial’s new EP. We get into faith, philosophy, MySpace-era metalcore, the trolley problem, and what it looks like to make heavy music with something deeper to say.

Gary and Tyler recap their weekend in Pomona, California for the Sleeping Giant reunion shows at The Glass House. From traveling with their wives and meeting online friends in real life, to merch line chaos, pit injuries, guest vocalists, and powerful moments of worship, this episode covers the full experience of two unforgettable nights. They talk through the bands, the crowd, the Christian heavy music community, the return of Sleeping Giant, and what made the weekend feel less like just another concert and more like a reunion, a pilgrimage, and a reminder of why this music matters.

On this episode of All Consuming Podcast, we hang out with Justin from Propositions to talk about his new song “Death Plan” featuring Unworthy. Justin breaks down what it looks like to be the one-man force behind Propositions, writing the riffs, vocals, bass, drums, and bringing songs as far as he can before handing them off for that final production push. We also get into the origin of Propositions, how grief and loss helped push him toward creating heavy music, and how bands like Pipebomb helped him realize he could build something powerful on his own. The main focus of the episode is “Death Plan”, a heavy, deathcore-leaning track centered on the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Justin talks about the song’s meaning, how the title came from his son, and how the feature grew from a vocal spot into having most of Unworthy involved in the track. We also talk about Christian heavy music, bold gospel-centered lyrics, the difference between being a Christian band and Christians in a band, the Heavy Collective, group shouts, dream tours, Bloodlines, Sleeping Giant, Holy Name, and why this scene still feels like a place where worship and heavy music can collide in a real way. Stream “Death Plan” by Propositions featuring Unworthy, and then come hang out with us for the conversation behind it.

In this episode, Tyler and Gary sit down with pop-punk band Cold Streets to talk about how the band formed out of longtime friendships, shared faith, and a love for early-2000s punk influences like MXPX, Relient K, and Blink-182. The band discusses their songwriting process, the making of their new single “Over and Over” and its music video, and how their sound naturally leans toward nostalgic, melodic punk. They also share plans for their first full-length album, reflect on what it means to be Christians in a band without labeling themselves a “Christian band,” and keep the conversation light with stories about tours, influences, and fandom moments.

Gary and Tyler are joined by Chris from For The Rock and Michael from Diatheke for a special album draft episode! Each host builds their ultimate lineup of 2010 Christian heavy music albums—but only one can come out on top. Tune in for stories from 2010, plenty of laughs, and a nostalgic trip through one of the wildest years in heavy music history.
