Mike Browning always seems really down to earth. The Key is one of the greatest metal records ever, in my opinion, and I think Paradox is an excellent companion album to it. I think the main reason it succeeded where so many other similar albums typically fail is the fact that you can clearly tell it is an album Mike deeply cared about and he put a ton of effort and passion into it.
Totally agree. Amazing to hear about so many technical issues in the studio, yet the record still overall sounds great. Regarding more personal interview details, there is a heavy amount of comedy and tragedy concerning band members, condolences all around. Eternal gratitude for Mike and The Key 🎼
I paused this interview and rode my bike 2 blocks to get a beverage. My local record purveyor is next to the market. On the wall was 'The Key'. WTF? The gods smiled at me today.
Mike has gotta be one of the coolest people and muscians from the whole 80s/90s death metal scene. Love his drumming and The Key is one of the best Florida albums in my opinion.
The key is the more european sounding of florida albums . Because Mike and Nocturnus had even on demos even on Morbid angel AOD it have a black metal flair to it in it It keeps that era where both genres werent separated with rest of 70's influences too But ...the rawer and more sound space production sound and stuff . More impulsive agression to.it ( more like Italians bands...) If i didn't knew that mike was in the band. Even on science of horror demo , i would never say it was a tampa band .
This is maybe the 5th time I listen to this interview since it came out. Personally, Mike’s such a huge inspiration when it comes to writing music. Absolute monster.
When I put this video on I really hoped some mention on Mike Davis...that guy was out of this world and disappeared to return to his; I'd really like to know what happened to him, what he's doing now. Nonetheless listening to the legend himself Mike Browning was an immense pleasure and the 1 & half hour passed very fast. He has an impressive memory and a great way to tell stories. Bless him. Hope one day to discover something more about Mike Davis.
Thank you for this. Eternal support for Mike Browning. Total visionary, legend and an all around down to earth dude. Amazing interview. I've been a fan since 1990 when I heard both The Key and Abominations for the first time. ...Also, Reaper Metal I just want to commend you on your professionalism and the way you conduct these interviews. Your respect for your guests and your passion for their music makes for a great vibe. You have a real talent. Keep up the great work :)
The Key is one of the best death metal albums of all time, Thresholds is pretty good too, but The Key is unbeatable record! Paradox is also an excellent record! Mike (both!) were/are amazing songwriters! I will keep listening to these amazing albums till the day I die!
That is freaky. Also, congrats on the Infernal Dominion re-release, its killer! So glad I was able to finally get a copy. Let me know if you find that Blaspherian shirt.
@@TheGreatBaronOBeefDip thanks. hopefully thats the end for I.D., well after the vinyl...i looked for the shirt i have 2 xl's and that's it, I may have a 3x in another design, not sure
@@ReaperMetalProductions Yeah, and I am over here all jealous. You should have called me for this one or that Sadistic Intent one that is coming up. The fact that you have no contact info for me is no excuse, Reaper!
Great interview, Reap Dog. I'm a big Nocturnus fan. I love all the After Death stuff and that Nocturnus AD album was one of my favorite albums that year.
Cool interview. A great look into that time and area. It's funny about the tape recordings. When you go back and listen they sound different. Like you'll get a sixteenth note shaved of a measure here and there and the tempo fluctuates. But's they're all cool little pieces of art. Almost closer to live performances. After we've had so many albums using programmed drums, it's almost like people expect to hear that sound. I think some drummers have even incorporated it. But there's no replacing a great drummer. The dynamics and tone. And although the overhead is difficult, with the volume especially, it's night and day.
The artwork in the background reminds me of the work a graphic artist did covers for for an ex-guitarist of mine. What bothers me about it is I did all my artwork by hand and spent hours and months and all of it got stolen or destroyed. Its as though every idiot I ever knew said they are the only ones with an opinion that matters and they can do my themes better and more professionally. I wouldn't steal or destroy others work as they've done mine and I certainly don't draw or play to out-do someone else or speak over their opinion.

Mike is one of the most important persons of the death metal underground ever! His influence can't be over-estimated.

Can't argue with this statement. The Key is brilliant.

Alway cool hearing old stories from the early 80's.
As far as "Florida sound" goes, that's because of Scott Burns and Morris Sound Studios.
That's awesome he did drums on tape on the Nocturnus AD album makes me love it even more. Love that approach. Great interview!
Mike is always an amazing guest with tons of great stories! I'm so glad he's back doing NOCTURNUS.
Nocturnus albums The Key and Thresholds are all time classics. Mike's ability to drum and sing at the same time blows my mind.
Dude what a legend....
Totally, I always feel amazed I get to talk about legendary albums like it’s just a day in the life of.
Thanks for the upload. True Legend. Next jeff Bacerra, perhaps?:)
When I put this video on I really hoped some mention on Mike Davis...that guy was out of this world and disappeared to return to his; I'd really like to know what happened to him, what he's doing now.

MORE INTERVIEWS! Been waiting for this one for awhile!
I really believe the key is much better than threshold, i like ethereal tomb though
Amazing guy. Really dig his work. All og Morbid+ Nocturnus stuff is legendary.
Always regularly still spin The Key.
Same here. An ex-girlfriend of mine bought that for me on CD----I still have that CD. That album is paramount.
Hell yeah man! Mike Browning rules! 🤘🏻
Worth the wait. Fantastic insight into the ancient past with some new trivia's in the mix. Mike seems like a cool fella with a good memory, too :D \m/
