FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE: 

This week sees the long-overdue return of my brother-from-another-mother, Shayan S Trivax from Trivax and host of the Iblis Manifestations podcast.

We dive into his perspective on everything from the critical response to Trivax’s latest album, The Great Satan, to his vision for the band’s future. We also have a candid and wide-ranging discussion about the rapidly evolving situation in his home country of Iran, his views on the future of the Islamic Republic, and much more.

On this week’s Unsanctioned Filth, the spotlight falls on Polish black metallers Primitiae Dormientium. Then, on the News Rant, I round up the latest singles by At The Gates, Midnight Odyssey, Extinction A.D., Exodus, and Belphegor for judgement. I also answer your questions, including: what I’d like to see more (and less) of in the metal scene, my all-time Top 5 favourite albums, who I consider the best UKHC band and more.

Episode 306 is out now on all digital platforms. Head to intothenecrosphere.com for show links, playlists and more.
