<p>Prepare to go deep with <strong>Michael Hill </strong>— the incendiary guitarist, singer, and founder of <strong>Tombs</strong>, a band that has relentlessly pushed the boundaries of metal, hardcore, and intense and experimental heaviness for close to two decades. In this conversation we trace Michael’s musical evolution from the early days of forging his current sound in the present moment, where his creativity continues to thrive not just through music but through thoughtful focus on being present and being intentional. Beyond brutal dark riffage, Michael hosts two podcasts — the horror-focused <strong>Necromaniacs </strong>and the genre-spanning <strong>Everything Went Black</strong> — platforms where extreme music, art, and community collide in mind-expanding ways.</p><p>This episode also dives into the urgency of <strong>free thinking and resistance</strong>, as we discuss why it’s essential for artists and citizens alike to push back against the rising tide of authoritarian and fascist impulses in the current Trump regime. We talk about why questioning power isn’t just good politics — it’s vital to protecting creativity, human rights, and the very culture that makes music matter.</p><br><p>TOMBS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCL1nmsjw_uvq05qHZAu66kQ</p><p>Everything Went Black: https://everythingwentblackmedia.com/everything-went-black</p><p>Necromaniacs: https://everythingwentblackmedia.com/necromaniacs</p><br><p> * * * * </p><p>PLEASE FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA:</p><p>Website:</p><p> https://www.TheCApod.com </p><br><p>Facebook:</p><p> https://www.facebook.com/TheCApod/ </p><br><p>Instagram:</p><p> https://www.instagram.com/CreativeAsylumCA/ </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
