Most bands that disappear for decades come back hoping fans remember who they were.

Spread the Disease came back determined to show everyone what they could become.

Chris Akin sits down with guitarist Dave Buschemeyer to discuss the making of The Darkness, The Dread and The Suffering, a record that pushes the band’s original sound into far darker territory while avoiding the trap of simply recreating the past.

The conversation covers everything from songwriting and influences to the legendary Hellfest appearance that still follows the band decades later. Dave also explains why the group avoids turning songs into political lectures, why today’s version of the band writes with far more purpose, and how balancing careers, families and music makes this comeback different from the first chapter.

If you’ve been searching for extreme music that still has personality and atmosphere, this conversation is worth your time.

- Support the band.- Pick up the record.- Keep independent metal alive.
