🔥 Dive into Episode 146 of the Metal Maniacs Podcast, where hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd sit down with the prolific Sean Carpenter, one of the true workhorses of the Michigan extreme metal scene. If you’ve seen the chaos live at The Jolly Lama, you already know — Sean’s riffs hit with atomic precision and passion.

In this episode, we get deep into Sean’s journey through three devastatingly heavy projects:

🎸 Goddikira – The powerhouse that took a massive leap forward when Sean officially joined the lineup (announced Jan 7, 2025, hitting stages Jan 31).

🔥 Realm of Sheol – Where riffs rule supreme, as heard on their self-titled release (Sept 2, 2022).

💀 Filth Spewer – The filthiest rhythm-destroyer move yet, with Sean stepping in as drummer (announced Oct 19, 2025).

You’ll hear the untold story behind each band, what drives Sean’s relentless creativity, and the discipline it takes to juggle three extreme metal bands — all while maintaining tone, precision, and raw energy. From tightening his practice schedule to nailing the live sound — cabs, tunings, guitars, and drum setups — Sean breaks down how to keep the chaos tight and authentic.
