The Brutality Podcast returns with a monumental episode as hosts xTheYan and Dom Dez sit down with Josh Goddard, the legendary masked drummer from the early days of SUICIDE SILENCE. In Episode 114: The Man Behind The Mask, the trio dives headfirst into deathcore history — revisiting the band’s 2004 demos, the iconic Family Guy Demo, and the self-titled EP that helped define an entire generation of heavy music.
Goddard opens up about the formative chaos of SUICIDE SILENCE’s early years, shedding light on the band’s raw chemistry, their underground rise, and the origins of his mysterious persona behind the mask. It’s a rare, unfiltered look at one of deathcore’s most fascinating figures — a man whose style and presence helped shape the genre’s foundation before it exploded into global recognition.
But the conversation goes far beyond music. With disarming honesty, Josh discusses his exit from the band, Mitch Lucker’s memorial show, and the emotional experience of reconnecting with his former bandmates after years apart. The discussion also touches on personal growth, mental health, and the challenges of navigating anxiety while balancing life beyond the drum kit.
Brutality Podcast EP 114 stands as one of the show’s most heartfelt and revealing installments to date. Through the sharp insight and genuine curiosity of xTheYan and Dom Dez, this episode peels back the layers of myth and memory to reveal the human story beneath the mask — a story of resilience, reflection, and enduring passion for heavy music.
