The Metal Mentality with Mike Smith is more than just a podcast, it’s a state of mind. The show is co-hosted by Mike Smith, long-time professional musician and founding member of New York’s death metal titans SUFFOCATION, and Elijah Hyde, entrepreneur and guitarist for the Nashville-based death metal act, ARIOCH. Join us as we explore a variety of topics from the history of death metal, music business, and real world examples on how to improve yourself both inside and outside of the music scene. Stay brutal!
