EP328 Warside’s Vince on Cognitive Extinction Album, Touring Japan & Raw Death Metal Evolution

Tom is joined by Vince from Warside to dive deep into the band’s highly anticipated full-length album Cognitive Extinction, set for release on April 17, 2026 via Gruesome Records. In this episode, Vince breaks down the band’s intense new direction — a rawer, more direct death metal sound driven by an evolved lineup and shaped by themes of mental breakdown, technological overload, and cultural decline. The first single “Synthetic Abyss” offers a glimpse into the album’s brutal yet thoughtful approach. They also discuss the band’s evolution since forming in 2018, the challenges of building a global team, and how touring with underground metal titans like Vader and Vomitory sharpened their performance and songwriting. Along the way, they share insights about balancing life, music, and the thrill of going international — including an upcoming tour in Japan. Whether you’re into heavy riffs, death metal storytelling, or the behind-the-scenes grind of international touring, this episode delivers a compelling look at one of France’s most relentless modern metal acts.#Warside#CognitiveExtinction#DeathMetal#GruesomeRecords#MetalPodcast#FrenchMetal#MetalInterview#UndergroundMetal#HeavyMusic
