Anthony DiDio: From VEIN to FLESHWATER

Welcome to HardLore.fm… Years in the making, we’re joined by longtime friend of the show Anthony Didio, vocalist of Vein and Fleshwater. We learn about his introduction to music, and how finding The Carrier early on lead to cutting his teeth at Anchor’s Up in the Merrimack Valley.We discover his evolution as a musician: starting Vein, making the landmark instant classic “Errorzone” and their mature follow up “This World is Going to Ruin You,” and ending suddenly shortly after upon the meteoric rise of Fleshwater immediately after their breakout debut LP “We’re Not Here to Be Loved”Now fresh off a tour with Deftones, their enormously ambitious sophomore LP “2000: In Search of the Endless Sky” and their biggest headlining tour ever, Anthony finally joins us for a long awaited (from us and from you) in-person sit down interview.

Craig Ahead: Straight Ahead Reunion, Sick of it All Hiatus, Quitting Youth of Today, Agnostic Front

We're joined by one of the most iconic bass players in the history of hardcore music, Craig Setari AKA Craig Ahead of Straight Ahead and Sick of it All, and formerly of Youth of Today, Agnostic Front, Rest in Pieces and more.We talked in depth about the short history, but long legacy of Straight Ahead, including their upcoming reunion on April 25th, 2026, why he chose to quit Youth of Today, joining Agnostic Front for "One Voice," and ultimately his career defining role for over 30 years in SICK OF IT ALL.This is our first ever single full three hour sit down with a guest, and it’s for damn good reason. There are only so many pioneers of this genre, and Craig is one of the greatest to ever do it.

Anthony Green: Circa Survive's Break Up, Leaving Saosin, L.S. Dunes & Addiction

We're joined by alternative music legend Anthony Green, former vocalist of Circa Survive & Saosin and currently of L.S. Dunes. We sit down in person on the S.S. Neverender to discuss his life in music, from being in bands like Jeer at Rome and Audience of One as a teenager, to joining and quickly quitting Saosin after leaving his permanent mark on the band and an entire genre, starting Circa Survive immediately upon returning home, their recent (definitive) break up, the unexpected shock of being asked to join L.S. Dunes, and battling addiction through it all/balancing fatherhood for the last 15 years. Thank you to Anthony for joining us and to all of you for watching this incredibly honest, thorough discussion with a truly one of a kind artist. ______________________ Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf) HardLore: A Knotfest Series Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepod Join the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef Cool links: HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.com Visit GUILTY PARTY, our favorite menswear store in North America and get 10% off site-wide with code HARDLORE: https://www.guiltyparty.co Try AG1 at DrinkAG1.com/HARDLORE to receive a free hat, flavor sampler kit, vitamin D/K drops, and an AGZ sample. Get 15% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code HARDLORE at MANSCAPED.com! ____________________ FOLLOW ANTHONY: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/anthonygreen666/ FOLLOW HARDLORE: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/ TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepod SPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrp APPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/ FOLLOW BO: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/ TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe #HARDLORE #HARDCORE____________________ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Claudio Sanchez (Coheed & Cambria)

We're joined in Cozumel, Mexico for a very special, long awaited conversation with Coheed & Cambria vocalist/guitarist: the great Claudio Sanchez. We discuss Claudio's journey through music discovery and picking up the guitar long before Coheed, how a trip to Paris birthed "The Amory Wars" concept, the real life events and tragedies that inspired each album's concept, existing outside of genres and scenes, the immediate impact of "Welcome Home" and the writing/recording processes from "The Second Stage Turbine Blade" all the way to "The Father of Make Believe" -- a truly phenomenal episode with one of modern music's greatest guitar players and songwriters. Thank you to Claudio for joining us and for having us on the S.S. Neverender. We are one among the fence.______________________ Edited by Steven Grise (@iamoneonenineseven) • Title sequence by Nicholas Marzluf (@marzluf) HardLore: A Knotfest Series Join the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes: https://patreon.com/hardlorepod Join the HARDLORE DISCORD: https://discord.gg/jA9rppggef Cool links: Get 15% off DUNABLE GUITARS with code HARDLORE from now until Christmas: https://dunableguitars.comGet 15% OFF @manscaped + Free Shipping with promo code HARDLORE at MANSCAPED.com! HardLore Official Website/HardLore Records store: https://hardlorepod.com ___________________FOLLOW CLAUDIO: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/claudioPsanchez/ TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/claudioPsanchez FOLLOW HARDLORE: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/hardlorepod/ TWITTER | https://twitter.com/hardlorepod SPOTIFY | https://spoti.fi/3J1GIrp APPLE | https://apple.co/3IKBss2 FOLLOW COLIN: INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/colinyovng/ FOLLOW BO:INSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/bosxe/ TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/bosxe #HARDLORE #HARDCORE00:00:00 - Start 00:03:28 - Discovering Music 00:11:56 - Punk, hardcore, death metal... 00:14:50 - Finding His Voice 00:17:59 - Shabutie 00:19:11 - Creation of Coheed & Cambria 00:22:46 - The Second Stage Turbine Blade 00:32:27 - "Everything Evil" and THE Melody 00:33:56 - Contributing To The Narrative 00:38:31 - Touring on Second Stage 00:39:03 - Blaze James 00:42:48 - Reflecting on Second Stage Songwriting00:43:53 - The Sequential Order of the Discography 00:45:27 - In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 00:49:29 - Dr. Know 00:51:27 - Touring On In Keeping Secrets... 00:53:30 - THE JACKHAMMER 01:01:00 - The Unique Production on In Keeping Secrets... 01:02:28 - Summarizing the Plot Synopsis 01:05:10 - "The Crowing" Breakdown 01:10:02 - The Heaviest Thing Claudio Listens To 01:12:53 - Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV Vol. 1 01:16:36 - Fortnite 01:18:04 - Being Hard On Yourself 01:21:19 - Apollo 1 & 2 01:25:23 - No World For Tomorrow 01:29:28 - "The Running Free" 01:31:41 - The Insane Breakdown In The Title Track 01:36:25 - Year Of The Black Rainbow 01:43:16 - Self Producing Their Records 01:48:58 - Knowing When A Song Is Done 01:53:29 - How Do You Relax? 01:55:06 - Simple Pleasures 02:02:20 - Top 4 Coheed Riffs 02:05:35 - Top 4 Punk, HC, Death Metal albums...
