Jacoby is right. I appreciate the kudos of good drumming, but yeah, my head wasn't into it. I was getting burned out with metal in general and my drinking brought issues to everything and everyone around me. I was playing rock, hard-core punk, and rockabilly right before they got ahold of me. The challenge for me was to see if I was still down for the lifestyle. I wasn't. But whether they knew it or not, they still gave me a chance, and a new life experience for the time. Eric was very hospitable. Good dudes. I'm still grateful. We didn't practice a whole lot while there and I couldn't reset the drums I was provided. They were another guys, so I understood and did my best. My personal bullshit put me in jail while I was there and they dealt with it. Again, good dudes. Nothing really worked for us. So I cut loose with respect for deeds..side note, my girlfriend didn't pull me away, quite the opposite actually, it was my decision that Eric and I both felt. I ended up playing with 1 more metal band called Skinned before I set it down for good. Always wanted to say thanks and sorry for wasting any time. But obviously you kept killing it. My condolences to all family and friends for the loss of Eric. He treated me well, and with respect. I have good memories of that time. Just want to say thanks and salute to deeds. R.I.P ERIC
Aww, man... SO good to see and hear you wonderful guys again. I may have been part of the family for a short while, but the attachment lingers, my brothers. Superstoked for this new album and when I heard you guys were coming back to make it happen it immediately felt like the only way that could and should have been done. This podcast had it all. Good stories, blastbeats, Ahnuld impressions, one eyed- pirates and popcorn. Really connecting with Mike's explanation about the musician as an athlete and taking care of yourself and be the best you can be on stage. This was really the way we approached our shows as well. Be the best you can be for the fans showing up. Sure helps with staying healthy on the road as well. Talking about ups and downs on the road: remember that show on Bloodletting II in Ft Lauderdale ( I think it was) where we got booked at a GIGANTOR of a venue and maybe 25 people showed up? Sure that stings, but when you talk to guys flying in or driving 8 hours to see that show you nut up and give it your all no matter what. Read about Murray's condition a while back as well, so sad to hear that, he is such a nice guy. Can totally relate to him being a trooper and a brother in the situation you described. Like on one of the Tx shows on Bloodletting IV, where multiple incidents happened and one of the bouncers with itchy fingers started to bother Troy. Nothing bad happened in the end, because of Troy more or less defusing the situation. But I still clearly remember handing my guitar to Joey to be ready and having eyecontact with Murray being exactly where he needed to be to jump in if shit were to hit the fan. He was looking out for his mate then as well. Big love from across the pond, Anton (Pyaemia).
After hearing all storys about Deeds and everything im so proud that im a part of it as a fan of Deeds of Flesh. All respect to guys in podcast and Erik, thank you so much for this storys we wait for long time that we never hear before. This was such a dreamy podcast i just can thank you enough. I was throwing comments on deeds youtube videos Why there is no any Interview of Deeds on youtube, such a big and old band and there is nothing about it? Thank you finally, may its not like usual metal band Interview but it is what we looking for. :) Thank you so much guys! Greetings from Croatia, ex-Yugoslavia
As I'm sure you dorks read comments after publishing, hear me out - Since you have connections to Jacoby (and Mike!), get those Deeds boys to put together and sell tabs. They're saying their minds are as sharp as ever and they can remember the material vividly, and between Mike's work ethic and Jacoby's professional background, the albums would be a breeze to make happen. I really feel like the Cali BDM scene needs someone spearheading some better archiving of the internal structures going to make the musical workings of Cali Death be Cali Death, and that this group obviously cares a lot about the art and emotion of this scene. Guys like Diego seem like they would also be willing to put concrete examples of their music, given how kind and loving that dude is, and that he can acknowledge how difficult it is to parse this music without having firsthand experience. Severed put out a few official tabs and that was always such a thrill, I'd hope the scene would catch on but never did. I think asking fellow musicians that you guys have on the pod questions around preserving and handing down solid knowledge of musical works would be worth a serious consideration as a group. It's worth incorporating into conversation if only so that sentiment can start to blossom around the old guard who laid down the foundation, and the idea can both bounce around and have time to break down walls that a lot of musicians seem to put up in an attempt to keep their pieces and formula secret - a fair sentiment, but this isn't KFC's recipe, it's art. Thank you for coming to my seminar, I love you guys.
Rad!!\m/!! Deeds is such a tight unit! looking forward to Nucleus and new episodes. ?Exhumed,Vile, Necrot, POSSESSED, BrainDrill, Animosity, Decrepit Birth , Cattle Decap Sadus etc..
I love this... Ive been listening this band since 2001 and im big fan of deeds of flesh... Just nice people doing amazing music!!! Love and respect for you all guys!!!!!
Mike-This is Ryan: was in maladiction as an 18 year old from 1999 to a couple years after. awesome interview. killer insight. Brought some memories back.
I super stoked I found this podcast! I remember the THC demo with the Goodfellas intros (trunk/stabbing) We rehearsed at the same spot that gnarly 80's dude recorded. Jacoby came up stairs to watch up jam a bit because my drummer ripped. He tried teaching him the blast beat! lol, my drummer wasn't into it. We where straight thrash. Later when I got into Death Metal I always followed Deeds and rooted for them. In my current band I'm friends with Ed and Diego in Disgorge. I saw Disgorge way back then here in Slo. So awesome to see them on the podcast. I learned a lot I didn't know. Keep it going dudes!! 🤘🤘
This podcast was a great idea. Been listening to Deeds since I found them on BlackMetalRadio(I know they aren't black metal) when I was like 10/11 and was instantly the most evil sounding death metal to me, next to something Deicide Legion at the time. I searched ever since for stuff like it. It's been a very fun and inspiring ride and always a relatable, aggressive outlet when life's handing me it's worst. Also, I'm the guy who made the Xeno-Virus video for them, and 2 others I feel are noteworthy, which are Gradually Melted and Feelings of Metal Through Flesh, but didnt get alot of views back on my first channel, or this concept channel in comparison. But all credit goes to the band creating such diabolic and intricate music, and to the people behind the movies I use. I just fit them together to try to make the best visual representation of the music I can, or atleast in my perspective.
Fascinating!! I remember being in a record shop in Amsterdam in 2003 and hearing this beautiful music being played in the shop, it turned out to be deeds of flesh- reduced to ashes. As a drummer myself, my life got better from that day. Deeds of flesh has been one of my favourite bands since. Always hoping to drum as good as that. Hoped to see deeds years ago in Scotland but the gig fell through, gutted.
@@TheBramVC It's no longer open but it was absolutely full of amazing death metal, very close to Central Station, I think the sticker for the shop is still on the CD case, I will have to look. I haven't seen such a good shop since, definitely nothing like it in Scotland.
By the time Mike Hamilton came aboard, the sound, the production and the performances had become very slick and professional but ironically the music and the compositions themselves had conversely become less interesting and adventurous to my ears. The album ITA, their second one, has always been my favourite by virtue of its twisted and convoluted patterns and maniacal, relentless pursuit of the sickest, most rabid tech death. Despite the stylistic evolution, DOF has always been the home of some of the best drummers in dm and the quality never took a downturn. Working with Lindmark must've been a true privilige for all of them. DOF was a band that endowed btdm with some of its true classics.
Awesome listen guys. I was at that infamous show at the Pound, I remember that crazy chick getting up on stage and dancing around and Jacoby pushing her, everyone in the front laughed and cheered 😆 Then I saw a dude come up and uppercut Jacoby, security tackled the guy, Jacoby threw down his bass and went backstage, then comes back a couple minutes later covered in blood and finished the set. I think I was outside when the gun was pulled. Crazy fuckin show 🤘
What a trip. Great interview. I was in a band with a couple guys that I think KC was in a band with. Andrew Janich and Pat Norbeck. I always remember them taking about that song acid troops too.
I met Mike, a few times I think. I remember he was actually a little self depricating on his skills. Talked about looking forward to getting into the real groove on his 3rd appearance. I was confused cause I thought his drumming was cream of the crop level even before Deeds, on that first Vile record, and of course a home run on, what was it? Mark I think? (his first appearance on Deeds) Whatever it was, I was blown away. Coolest dude. Great attitude.
Wtf happened to Eric's gila monster? Freaked me out a little having that thing in the house. Lol just something I remembered. He told me how him and his dad would go out in the desert and catch things like his pet gila monster. I slept on the floor for a couple weeks a few feet away from a black widow web outside the front door step. Gila monster in the other room. Lol
What song are they discussing at about 32:00 or so? I'm sitting here trying to rewind the video back and I'm not hearing the song title and it is grinding my gears somebody please enlighten me.

This band has never made a bad record and I hope they continue on. One of the most important bands ever.
Deeds of Flesh is definitely one of the best to ever do it.

Thanks for the kind words! I remember watching your Xeno-Virus video back when. - Josef
First and only time I saw Deeds live was I believe at November to Dismember in like early two thousands. It was awesome.
was hoping they would talk about Darren Cesca. Great video thanks for doing this!
this was such a good listen/watch.. thank you.
The Endurance is the Rime of the Ancient Mariner of death metal!
Super-cool podcast! Thanx a lot!

@@davidmichie1449 the shop was called boudisque, bought so much there haha
@@blastyboyleon wow thanks so much. That's definitely the shop, what a dream if was. Beautiful times in the Netherlands

ITA is my favorite (early) Deeds as well - Josef
Totally agree. There first 3 albums were intense. After that it wasn’t quite the same.
Would kill for remasters of these earlier album (cough cough)and maybe remasters pressed on vinyl 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Deeds Of Flesh at the Phoenix in my hometown of Petaluma during Reduced To Ashes.
We only just discovered you guys. Stoked for you guys!! We actually just reacted to Alyen Scourge
My fellow O.G."s
I was at the vancouver stop of that bloodletting tour, such a sick night. Seeing deeds of flesh live finally was mind blowing.
Awesome listen guys. I was at that infamous show at the Pound, I remember that crazy chick getting up on stage and dancing around and Jacoby pushing her, everyone in the front laughed and cheered 😆 Then I saw a dude come up and uppercut Jacoby, security tackled the guy, Jacoby threw down his bass and went backstage, then comes back a couple minutes later covered in blood and finished the set.

Damn insane
dude the OG gradually melted album art is so sick. literally been looking for the artist for years
I was at the Rochester NY show! That was at the Penny Arcade!
First time I seen Deeds was in Tulare Ca at that death fest the venue was called Cody’s the band that set it up was Hatred
Of what’s to come is my all time fav deeds album, as well as one of my all time fav death metal albums, period. Not a lot of people talk about it.
Metalfest'98 was one big party and remember the crowd breaking the barrier during Dying Fetus, fun crazy times
Hell yes...RIP ERIK...
Deeds Of Flesh is one of my main influences even though I now play black metal.
This so interesting to watch. Absolutely awesome, killer video 🤘🤘🤘
What a trip. Great interview. I was in a band with a couple guys that I think KC was in a band with. Andrew Janich and Pat Norbeck. I always remember them taking about that song acid troops too.
Legends! Thanks for putting this together! \m/
How crazy! I’m from Tulare and my Uncle was at the show that Jacoby and Mike are talking about. I was still a kid at the time. Small world 😂
Good video! I fucking love Deeds!
I met you guys in Brisbane Australia and gave you some good weed you signed my cds.Good people.
I met Mike, a few times I think. I remember he was actually a little self depricating on his skills. Talked about looking forward to getting into the real groove on his 3rd appearance.

The band that put on the fest at Cody’s in Tulare California was HATRED.
OG's
So many deeds ..........
I hope they are not made an albums. But aslo some shows. Greeting from Indonesia
I heard someone played the popcorn prank on one of Gorgasm's drummer by putting bags of jiffy pop in this stickbag.
Jacoby's first band that I'm aware of, THC (Terminal Human Combustion), was soooo sick. Really catchy. Can't find that EP anywhere.
The pound sf!!! OG unique leader is the best ever
I grew up in pacifica! Winter's tavern lol
does anyone know what kind of guitar gear Erik lindmark used?
Wtf happened to Eric's gila monster? Freaked me out a little having that thing in the house. Lol just something I remembered. He told me how him and his dad would go out in the desert and catch things like his pet gila monster. I slept on the floor for a couple weeks a few feet away from a black widow web outside the front door step. Gila monster in the other room. Lol
KC is tighter than can be for a drummer.
Fuckin awesome podcast. Thanks so much for this.
should do a show with bands like asphyx or pestilence or monstrosity
Will this be posted on apples podcast? Great stuff!
Yep! It's on SoundCloud right now, and we're putting it on Apple and other platforms soon
Dudes of Flesh :D
What song are they discussing at about 32:00 or so? I'm sitting here trying to rewind the video back and I'm not hearing the song title and it is grinding my gears somebody please enlighten me.
The Endurance
Disgorge, severed savior and deeds of flesh..
What is the whole popcorn thing about when it comes to drumming??
Talk about the time u got punched in the face at the sf pound
