2023/08/04

(Full transcription of this interview is available on innerstrengthcheck.com.) On the rarest of occasions, there comes along a band that latches on and annihilates your ears with such a unique combination of sounds, you find yourself dislodged from the monotony of every-day music, and rooted firmly in the terrain of admiration. We walk through John 'Human Furnace' Bullock's trajectory through the hardcore and metal scenes, lyrical and thematic inspirations and how he utilises The Riff

I was fortunate enough to provided a third opportunity to speak with metal luminary Bjorn 'Speed' Strid, frontman and vocalist of the mighty Soilwork and, more recently, disco-lovin' supergroup The Night Flight Orchestra. In this interview we discuss the upcoming Australian tour, experiences recently supporting KISS on the Swedish leg of their farewell tour, as well as how the man keeps up his vocal performances on two legendary heavy music acts after 25+ years in the business! - THE

2023/07/23

Now and then, I'll be dropping some pieces of media here and there from my GM-ing in various RPG campaigns. This is a little introductory spiel I cooked up with some corny narration, to introduce our TTRPG group to the fantastic Forbidden Lands system. It's a brief spiel around the lore. Stay tuned for more random bits and pieces of silly content in future! More Forbidden Lands content to come in future. Travel safe, adventurers. Official

2023/03/06

It's about time I put my money where my mouth is with reviews, and start putting them to audio format as well! This is an audio transcript of my written review for Ihsahn's Fascination Street Sessions EP, due for release on March 24th via Candlelight Records. It's an interesting mini-project with the completely-expected level of genre-bending antics we've come to know from Ihsahn and co.

2023/03/05

Say that title three times in quick succession to summon the extradimensional horror of your choosing! I've seen a lot of apologies and even sentiments of guilt in the everyday language within the content-creator/creative/influencer space lately. Heck, even people expressing their sincerest apologies for not having gotten pictures up on social media in an arbitrarily 'timely' enough fashion. Leaving any sort of relative silence or inconsistency in posting content (of any form) onto the Internet

Episode 5 - ISC Trajectory for 2023

Inner-Strength Check Podcast ·

2023/02/08

Hey, that rhymed! A two-fold episode, really - first part is a bit of an update from Yours Truly with regards to my situation, and some thoughts around the barriers that podcasting/content-creation-as-hustle-culture (as well as mental illness) can impose on prospective podcasters, creatives etc. The second part is a little more optimistic, where I outlay a fair amount of the specific music and hobby-related content that I will be both consuming and potentially reviewing/discussing on ISC this year

Episode 04 - The Great Sigh of Resignation.

Inner-Strength Check Podcast ·

2022/12/23

In this episode, I speak a bit to my own struggles in post-pandemic life, but moreso really drill down into a lot of unspoken/downplayed concerns that are coming up for a lot of people. Good people, who are languishing and struggling overall in the post-lockdown period, and feeling unnecessarily guilty for doing so. Particularly, we look to critique the almost-inexplicably-stupid regression back to hustle-culture in a time of ongoing ambiguity and collective exhaustion. A culture fed unrelenting

Hi All, Been a while between episodes - a LOT has gone on this year. I've had a bit of a crisis of confidence in this whole podcasting stuff, so I have avoided it for a while. Plus mental health stuff. Today's episode I do a bit of a catch-up on where I'm at in 2022 around work, hobbies, life etc, before the meat of the episode 'bout halfway through. Rounding out the first few initial episodes to give you, the listener, some overall scope on your hosts' lived experience with mental health recovery

Episode 2 - Inside the Ear Canal

Inner-Strength Check Podcast ·

2022/02/28

a.k.a. a bit of a retrospective look into the powerfully formative impact music has had for me in terms of my mental health, coping strategies, values and identity. As well, a bit of discussion around sensitivity and the arts, perfectionism and the broader millenial generational backdrop to how my musical journey has formed over time. There's a fair bit of prelude discussion before hitting the 'meat' of the topic itself however I feel it's still worth a listen to set the scene. If you'd like to (as

2022/01/10

Hi All! It's been a while. This is a between-topical-episodes-episode. Just a general catch up on where I am at/the state of affairs, but also some discussions around how I will be pivoting the ISC podcast to be a bit more broad content-wise, incorporating a larger range of topics. I also discuss perfectionism as it presents through procrastination, not a means commonly thought of in our culture but one that is pervasive with mental illness. Thank you. <3 SUPPORT OPTIONS: If you're feeling like

Episode 1 - Inside the Computer

Inner-Strength Check Podcast ·

2021/11/15

Welcome to Inner-Strength Check, a podcast at the confluence of mental health, hobbies, leisure, society and community. For today's episode, I decided to give you all a bit of an honest peek behind the GM screen and detail my own mental health recovery/neurodiversity trajectory over time, up to the present day. I felt it important not only to set the tone for the mental health side of things, but for you get a more honest and raw appraisal of your show host. Coming up next will be Behind The Screen,
