FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE: 

 

Huge double episode this week as I wrap up my coverage of Fortress Festival 2026.

First up, I’m sitting down with P.G. from GROZA to discuss their latest record, Nadir, how they evolved from a solo project into a band-led effort, dealing with the inevitable comparisons to Mgła and much more.

Then, my friend and world-renowned photographer NecrosHorns is back. He shares his perspective on the changing face of metal festivals, the commercial realities of these events and the growing prominence of photographers as an integral part of the festival experience. He also reflects on the late, great Bartholomäus Resch and the legacy of the House of the Holy festival.

If that’s not enough for you, The Sheriff - Michael Scondotto - returns to the Weekly News Rant! We answer your questions, including our favourite intro riffs, our favourite death metal album of all time and more. We round up the latest singles from Archgoat, Prong, Xentrix and Sorcery for judgment. And the torch-and-pitchfork brigade are out for Jorge Rosado’s blood, so they get their due reckoning on the Swirly Of The Week.

PLUS - New Jersey extremists Filthy Ilk step into the “Unsanctioned Filth” spotlight.

Out now on all digital platforms.

FROM OTEP: 

 hi. many are asking if I'm making new music. YES. I am. Not in the old genre. But same message, mood, atmosphere. I'm proud of all my albums & everything I contributed to that space. But it's changed, I've changed and new creative terrain was necessary for my creative engine & my sanity. The new music explores my recent battles with mental & emotional health, growing up Queer, fighting for equity & equality & the ghouls who want to destroy us, being a fighter, a survivor & living authentically. Some will hate it, they want the girl who goes grrrr, others will love it, but I have to stay true to my self. My words have always mattered most to me & that's my focus now. Centering the message, the lyrics, the meaning I have one demo near completion. I was thinking of releasing it but I dunno, needs some minor changes to the mix, etc. But my ppl are telling to wait. It's hard bcz I'm just really excited. No clue where my passions will take me except I know it will be armored with joy Love & respect to all xx #otep xx

Here's the artwork for the new Veilburner album "All That Glimmers is Gloam".

Band's statement: "Veilburner have once again joined forces with Luciana Nedelea, who has masterfully realized the cover artwork for All that Glimmers is Gloam, the ninth iteration of their ongoing exploration of the consequences born of the Curse and Cause that reside between the blurred lines of the esoteric and the psychologically absurd.

Rather than illustrating a predetermined composition, Luciana immersed herself in the music and lyrics, creating an entirely original piece through her own artistic interpretation. We couldn’t be happier with how beautifully she has brought our world to life."
