#107 POLYPHIA

October 28, 2026 · 1 h 8 min

Show notes

Nik Nocturnal talks with Tim Henson and Scott LePage of Polyphia about “Be Not Afraid,” their approach to heavier riffs and breakdowns, and how electronic music, trap, and 808s are influencing modern heavy music. They also discuss the unexpected influence of Crazy Frog on their latest music, pushing the limits of guitar tone, and finding new ways to make breakdowns sound heavier and more extreme.
