Bloodletter's Pete Carparelli Talks Influences, Leave the Light Behind Album, THRASH and so Much More!

from The Distorted Dialogue Podcast · host Metal Institute of Thrashology

On Episode 65 of the Distorted Dialogue Podcast, Pete Carparelli stops by from the Chicago based band Bloodletter. We talk about the 2025 album, Leave The Light Behind, the writing process, and the progression of sound over the course of their discography. We discuss influences, which leads to discussions of thrash bands, punk bands and all what makes Bloodletter's sound. We discuss the mental state of what drives his writing process, and the feels they put into each song. I want to thank Pete for stopping by, and make sure you check out their catalog. Pick up a copy of their album at👇https://bloodlettermetal.bandcamp.comWelcome to Distorted Dialogue, the official podcast of The Metal Institute of Thrashology. Where I interview each guest, getting to the bottom of what you want to know. Wether it’s a Headlining Act from the other side of the world or a thrash band next to a river, I am always searching for the next riff, album or tour, and this is where to find out about it. Discussing topics such as new albums, inspirations, concerts, crazy road stories and wherever else the conversation takes us. Don’t think of this as a rapid fire, monotone filler, but rather a conversation where we can all learn about albums, tours and more, while laughing along the way Some keep coming back, so find out why! I don’t just interview musicians, but techs, label executives, industry attorneys and anything else that is metal as hell. Why limit the fun?
