NECROFIER: CHRISTIAN LARSON INTERVIEWED BY INTO THE NECROSPHERE

 May be an image of guitar and text

CHRISTIAN LARSON of Houston, Texas, U.S.A. black metal warriors NECROFIER was recently interviewed by INTO THE NECROSPHERE... 

 NECROFIER have posted a video for "FIRES OF THE APOCALYPSE, LIGHT MY PATH", a track from the bands anticipated new release "TRANSCEND INTO OBLIVION",  unleashed 2/27/2026 via METAL BLADE RECORDS.  

 

NECROFIER have posted a video for  "FIRES OF THE APOCALYPSE, LIGHT MY PATH III" , a track from the bands anticipated new release "TRANSCEND INTO OBLIVION", unleashed 2/27/2026 via METAL BLADE RECORDS.  

 

 NECROFIER, via SPOTIFY, are streaming  the bands anticipated new release "BURNING SHADOWS IN THE SOUTHERN NIGHT",  unleashed 6/2/2023 via SEASON OF MIST RECORDS.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE: 

Christian Larson from US black metal legion Necrofier joins the podcast this week to discuss the band’s sensational new album, Transcend Into Oblivion. We dig into Necrofier’s decision to sign with Metal Blade Records, talk about the changing realities of the modern music industry, and Christian breaks down the real cost of touring the United States. We also go deep on his festival Hell's Heroes, which returns this year for its eighth edition.
On the weekly news rant, I round up the latest singles from Deathstorm, Archspire, Warsenal, Yoth Iria, and Trelldom for judgment. I also answer more of your questions, including ranking my favourite Marduk albums and revealing some of the cover songs I’d love to see metal bands take on.
There’s also a Premiere on the Sphere, as Australian black metallers Graveir unveil the first taste of their upcoming album, The Festering Triad. And finally, labelling bands as “sketch” based on hearsay and internet rumour earns one member of the online red guard a double dunk in the Swirly of the Week.
Out now on all digital platforms.
