FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE:
In this episode, I sit down with Benjamin Guerry - guitarist, vocalist and founding member of The Great Old Ones - at Fortress Festival 2025 for a discussion of their latest album, “Kadath”, French black metal, his love of H.P. Lovecraft and his perspective on who reigns supreme as the greatest metal frontman of them all.
Then, on the weekly news rant I give you my verdict on new singles by Lord Belial, Biohazard, Abigail Williams, Nailed to Obscurity, and Till Lindemann. I also answer your questions, including my top 5 favourite releases of 2025 so far, my ideal retirement (!) and the albums I’m most looking forward to for the remainder of the year. PLUS: the black metal album cover that’s got every man, woman and their dogs’ attention, and a follow-up to last week’s comments about My Dying Bride.
