EP 236 Greg March of False Gods Lost in Darkness and Distance and Raw Edge

In this heavy-hitting episode of And Now The Band, host Tom sits down with Greg March, guitarist of False Gods, to dive into the band’s crushingly honest and genre-defying upcoming album “Lost in Darkness and Distance”, out July 25 via BRC Productions.

☠️ Based in Long Island, False Gods blurs the boundaries between doom, hardcore, and sludge metal, creating emotionally raw, punishing tracks that speak directly to internal struggles. Greg opens up about the inspiration behind standout songs like “Imposter”, reflecting on personal evolution, pandemic-era songwriting, and pushing beyond genre expectations.

🗣 In this episode:

• The False Gods origin story and their 10-year grind

• Behind the scenes of the new album: from vinyl setbacks to self-managed CD releases

• Touring DIY-style and booking shows in Louisville, Tampa, and the cult-favorite Metal Monday at Magbar

• Sludge metal’s slow climb to recognition and why it's one of the most misunderstood genres

• Playing with legends like Eyehategod, 16, and what that meant to the band’s journey

• Greg’s honest take on artistic growth, burnout, and the love/hate relationship with the music industry

🔥 Whether you're into doom, hardcore, sludge, or underground heavy music, this episode gives you a raw and real perspective from one of the genre's most quietly powerful voices.
