FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE:

This week I'm joined by the one and only Tommy Victor, frontman, guitarist and driving force behind the mighty Prong. We go back to the streets of 1980s New York and his formative years working behind the mixing desk at the legendary CBGB's, before tracing Prong's evolution from Force Fed to Cleansing and beyond.

We get deep into the making of those landmark records, the unexpected success of "Snap Your Fingers, Snap Your Neck", the fascinating story behind the divisive Rude Awakening, and the industry decisions that shaped the band's trajectory. Tommy also shares candid recollections of working with Glenn Danzig and Al Jourgensen, the alchemy behind writing truly timeless music, and why some things simply cannot be manufactured or replicated.

Then on The Weekly News Rant, I check out new music by CLOAK, the excellent debut single from Avgrum, Nox and Necronautical, before getting into the latest Malevolent Creation line-up implosion. I also share my thoughts on the future of black metal and potential documentary projects following the release of Murtad.

Plus, a social media temper tantrum earns one Damnation Festival-goer the Swirly Of The Week, and Matt Priso  returns with another crushing SIK track on Unsanctioned Filth.

Out now on all digital platforms.

Promoters for INFERNO METAL FEST 2027, set to take place 3/25th, 26th, 27th and 28th, 2027 ROCKEFELLER MUSIC HALL OSLO, NORWAY have confirmed IHSAHN, CONJUERER, BLACK SPIKES, FRAILTYand more bands.

INFERNO FEST 2027 have also confirmed KAMPFAR, MGLA, TRELLDOM, ELLENDE, HELLRIPPER, RIUM, SHORES OF NULL, TOWARDS THE SINISTER, THE RUINS OF BEVERAST, SARKOM, HOULE, CARCASS, ROTTEN SOUND, SWORN, NEDGRAVD, MYRVANDRER, DECAPITATED, FIRTAN, VOIDSPHERE and MORE METAL BANDS...

FROM INFERNO FEST NORWAY 2027 PROMOTERS:

Five new artists are confirmed for Inferno Metal Festival 2027. This time around, we have progressive extreme metal from Telemark, British doom metal, modern metal from Lithuania, death doom from Latvia and a brand-new Norwegian black metal band. We give you Ihsahn, Conjurer, Black Spikes, FRAILTY and Nedover.

IHSAHN
For fans of Norwegian black metal, Ihsahn is a name everyone knows – first and foremost as the vocalist and guitarist of Emperor, but also for his long-running solo career. After Emperor released their final album in 2001, Ihsahn started his own solo project, and the debut album «The Adversary» arrived in 2006 to excellent reviews. Ihsahn has now released eight albums, with the latest being the critically acclaimed self-titled album from 2024. With a solid backing band, including members of Leprous, Ihsahn always delivers – and then some. Ihsahn has a long history with Inferno Metal Festival, both with Emperor and as a solo artist, and we are looking forward to having him back with us in 2027.

CONJURER
Conjurer are a British doom post-metal band formed in 2014. The band come at you with a heavy sound and a tempo to match. So far, they have released three albums, in addition to an EP and a live album, all of a consistently high quality. Conjurer care little for genre definitions and seamlessly blend sludge metal, doom metal, post-metal and elements of death metal and hardcore. Their latest album, «Unself», was released through Nuclear Blast in 2025. This will be the band’s first-ever show at Inferno Metal Festival.

BLACK SPIKES
Black Spikes are a modern metal band from Lithuania formed by four young women in 2018. Their debut album «Šešėlių Vedami» was released in 2020. In 2025, the band were nominated for the M.A.M.A. Awards, Lithuania’s answer to the Grammys, in two categories: Metal Band of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. Black Spikes have since signed with Napalm Records, where they released the follow-up album «Ydos» in autumn 2026. The band have never performed in Norway before, so this will be Black Spikes’ debut show on Norwegian soil.

FRAILTY
Frailty are a melancholic death doom metal band from Riga, Latvia, formed in 2003, and have so far released four full-length studio albums. Over more than two decades, Frailty have established themselves as one of the cornerstones of the Baltic extreme metal scene. On their latest album, «Tumši Ūdeņi» from 2020, the band moved away from English and switched to their native language. This has given Frailty an even stronger identity and a distinct local atmosphere. The band visited Norway in 2013, when they supported Dominanz at Garage in Bergen. Now they are finally coming to Oslo and Inferno Metal Festival!

NEDOVER
Nedover are a new Norwegian black metal band about whom very little information has been made public so far. The band draw inspiration from the sound and prog rock of the 1970s and blend it with Norwegian black metal from the 1990s. Despite being a new band, the line-up consists of seasoned names from the Norwegian underground, including members from Tilintetgjort, Den Saakaldte, Kvesta and Urarv. We are looking forward to hearing what Nedover have to offer when they play Inferno Metal Festival for the very first time.

BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond. A couple of issues I would like to address: ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you. ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like. It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful. ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox. I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. . ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal.. There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist. A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues. Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right. ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal. ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label. BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
