episode 7: crush the serpent
Crush the Serpent is a Birmingham metalcore and post-hardcore band held together by years of real friendship, old-school roots, and a genuine love for the local scene they came up in.
In Episode 7, the full band joins host Alan for a conversation that covers how they came back together after time apart, what shapes their sound (think Hopes Fall, Poison the Well, Glassjaw, and Counterparts), and why the Birmingham heavy music scene still matters to them deeply. They talk through their organic writing process, the reality of DIY recording, and what comes next. There's also a unique angle here: a father and son playing in the same band — and what that actually looks like in practice. This is a band that loves where it came from and plays like it.
