FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE: 

 

On April 2nd, 2026, ULTHA dropped the surprise follow-up to their critically acclaimed album All That Has Never Been True with no warning, press or prior buildup.
Ahead of its release, I sat down with my good friend Ralph Schmidt, guitarist for Ultha, to dissect the new record, A Light So Dim. Ralph takes us track-by-track through the album, unpacking the personal experiences that inspired it, the evolution within the band, and how those shifts shaped its final sound.
On the Weekly News Rant: I’m answering your questions on hi-fi, grilling the perfect steak, and TV shows, while rounding up the latest tracks by Trelldom, Defiled, Aversio Humanitatis, MORK, Shane Embury and others for judgement.
PLUS: Horsemen of the Podcast Apocalypse capos Michael Hill and Karl Haikara join forces with the mighty DRUGOTH for Hollow Lands in this week’s Unsanctioned Filth spotlight, and a feeble attempt at trolling backfires spectacularly, earning its author a well-deserved Swirly of the Week.
Out now on all digital platforms.
