For more than 20 years, the Adelaide, Australia artist has built an unmistakable legacy by combining horrorcore, hip-hop, industrial music, heavy metal, cinematic storytelling, and the twisted theatrical world of his Cannibal Clown persona. In this episode, KidCrusher takes us behind the paint to discuss the creation of his character, growing up as an outcast, building a massive independent catalog, and remaining committed to his vision when the music industry didn’t know where to place him. We also explore the major moments and controversies that shaped his journey—including his experience being denied entry into the United States before the 2008 Gathering of the Juggalos, the use of his music in the Law & Order episode “Steel-Eyed Death,” and the complicated relationship between horrorcore, fictional violence, censorship, and public perception. KidCrusher also opens up about the financial reality of independent music, streaming revenue, merchandise, creative ownership, mental health, personal sacrifice, and what it truly costs to protect your art for more than two decades. This is more than an interview with a horrorcore artist. It’s a conversation about survival, identity, independence, and the human being behind the monster.

Kentucky alternative metal band @SleepinginSilenceKult joins your host with the ghost, @BounceBallBoogie , for an emotional, unpredictable, and hard-hitting episode of the Underground Nation Podcast! Formed in 2022 by session musician and horror film producer Denny Kidd, Sleeping in Silence was born during one of the darkest periods of his life.

Amplifying Survivors: The Truth Behind Rose Cora Perry’s Warrior Women
Rose Cora Perry, singer, songwriter, guitarist, and frontwoman of the award-winning Canadian rock band The Truth Untold, steps into the hot seat of the Underground Nation Podcast to discuss the powerful story behind the Warrior Women concert series.

Warrior Women is a six-city concert and empowerment series bringing together female-fronted bands, inspiring speakers, women-owned businesses, and organizations committed to helping women and children escape abuse. The series is raising awareness and support for Yellow Brick House while transforming local music venues into spaces of strength, solidarity, and meaningful connection. During this conversation, Rose discusses the personal inspiration behind Warrior Women, discrimination within the music industry, the challenges of producing a six-city benefit series, supporting survivors, creating measurable change, and her hopes for expanding Warrior Women beyond its first year.
