It was an honor to finally sit down with Jake Henderson of the hardcore band Bitter End. Jake has been playing guitar with Bitter End since the band formed in 2005, making him a longtime part of the band’s history.
Originally based in San Antonio, Texas, Bitter End released multiple EPs and LPs between 2005 and 2015. Their most recent full-length, Illusions of Dominance, recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary. Jake and I sat down to revisit the record, discuss its creation, and talk about how these songs came together.
We also discuss the track “Conversations With Death,” which was featured in the 2021 video game The Dark Pictures Anthology: House of Ashes.
This was easily one of the most fun conversations I’ve had since starting this podcast. Jake had some great stories and insight into Bitter End’s history, and I’m excited for you all to hear this one.
Please be sure to support the Bitter End spinoff bands, Demonize and Shogun!

In today’s episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with my friend George Noble of Your Demise 2004.
Hailing from St Albans, England, YD04 released multiple demos, EPs, and LPs between 2003 and 2009, leaving behind an incredible legacy that still means so much to UKHC.
This was truly a dream interview for me. If you want to talk about someone who genuinely cares about his fans and the people who support his music, George is that guy.
We could’ve talked about the paranormal all day, and I’m sure we’ll set up a part 2 ghost stories special!
Huge thank you again to George for taking the time to hang out and share so many great stories. And an extra-big thank you for the awesome shirts, brother!
More YD04 shows coming soon!
