About this episode

Bobby Ferry discusses the band's music and personal struggles in this episode of The Metal Forge.

Bobby Ferry returns at the helm as the band's visceral vocalist and guitarist, and in true -(16)- fashion, belts out stories of pain and unhinged anguish. Standout tracks like "Proudly Damned” see the band playing at the crowd while Ferry shares tales of personal strife and depression: "To defile and offend/These are the demons found within/The sullen face of communion’s alarm/It’s an incentive to do more harm." Ferry is absolutely seething while the band plows through a virulent mix of rock, metal, and sludge. Dion Thurman's pounding drum set, Ferry and Alex Shuster's heavier-than-anything-else guitars, and the lowest low end from bassist Barney Firks herald tones so low they're nearly apocalyptic.
