Silence Equals Death's Frank DeAngelis: Why Hardcore Fans Suddenly Feel Divided

Hardcore was built on unity. So why do so many fans feel disconnected from the scene now?

This conversation with Silence Equals Death turned into something much bigger than a simple album interview.

GREAT DEAL ON FROM THE ASHES FROM SILENCE EQUALS DEATH ON VINYL HERE: https://amzn.to/3PC97db

Frankie DeAngelis joined Chris Akin Presents to talk about:

- modern hardcore becoming political- why fans are split right now- bands surviving on merch sales- touring becoming nearly impossible- younger fans waiting too long to support bands- hardcore evolving into metal- perseverance, survival, and loss- the moment he saw Kublai Khan before they exploded

Watch “Tortured Souls” from Silence Equals Death Here:

A lot of fans are going to agree with this conversation. Others absolutely won’t.

That’s probably why people are going to keep talking about it.
