Feature: Let’s Talk Seraiah with Kyle Dietz

Three weeks to mix an album—cut to one night before the studio’s power was shut off. Seraiah drummer Kyle Dietz tells the wild story behind Carnival World and how its reissue finally gives the music a fresh hearing.

Join Jeff and Jimmy from Heaven’s Metal Magazine for a deep dive into Seraiah’s beginnings, the Soldier of Jehovah demo, the Battle of the Bands that landed their Pure Metal deal, and the infamous clown cover.

Kyle also discusses Eonian Records’ Carnival World reissue (https://www.eonianrecords.com/), the rare recordings on Demolish This, the band’s explosive live shows, life after Seraiah, and the possibility of a reunion or second-album remix.

Which Seraiah song is your favorite—and would you turn up for a reunion show? Tell us in the comments. See the album reviews posted on the site previously HERE.
