FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE: 

 

This week, I’m back at Fortress Festival 2026 for a face-to-face interview with Ken Sorceron of Abigail Williams. We dive into the early days of the band, as Ken shares stories from their first-ever tour, supporting none other than the legendary Emperor. We also talk about Abigail Williams’ evolution alongside the development of the US black metal scene, and Ken shares the story behind the making of the band’s most recent album, A Void Within Existence.

On the Weekly News Rant, I’m answering YOUR questions, including which non-metal guests I’d love to have on the show, which revered bands I just can’t get into, and which musicians I’ve interviewed whose music I ended up liking more — but the person less. Plus, plenty more!

I also round up new music from Tony Iommi, Silvertomb, Sigh, Krallice, Kanonenfieber and Critical Defiance for judgment.

PLUS — Illinois blackened death metallers @solt_metal serve up a man-sized helping of “Unsanctioned Filth”.

Out now on all digital platforms.

FROM WEREWOLVES: 

 

Suck shit posers!!

Another shit album from a shit band!!

"You're Weak And You Know You're Weak" is the seventh album from WEREWOLVES in seven years.

The band themselves have sworn to release ten albums in ten years, or commit group suicide if they fail.

Ridiculously brutal moronic caveman death metal from members of PSYCROPTIC, THE BERZERKER, ABRAMELIN, THE ANTICHRIST IMPERIUM, and THE AMENTA.

For fans of MARDUK, MARDUK, fucking MARDUK, and getting your teeth kicked right the fuck in.

Artwork regular Mitchell Nolte is back with a terrifyingly trademark cover featuring crucifixions, baby kebabs, and a werewolf army.

Mixed and Mastered in Hobart by Joe Haley (PSYCROPTIC) who has lost so much IQ from being forced to sit through WEREWOLVES mixing sessions that he has lost the power of speech.

Seasoned death metal performers who have done laps of Australia with ARCHSPIRE, MAYHEM, ABBATH, INGESTED, and ULCERATE bringing zero appeal to a wide range of audiences who all equally loathed the dirty blastbeats crammed down their worthless throats. They all purchased merchandise and albums instantly.

Released on Oct 9th

preorder details soon!
