RED HARVEST: Ketil Eggum On The Band’s History, Why We Haven’t Heard New Music, The Future | ITN EP333 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week I’m joined by Ketil from Red Harvest, the legendary Norwegian band whose uncompromising blend of extreme metal, electronics and experimentalism made them one of the most distinctive acts to emerge from the Scandinavian scene. In this conversation, we dig into what happened to the band after A Greater Darkness, the new material that was being developed, the financial realities that ultimately brought Red Harvest to a halt, and the frustrating circumstances that prevented their return.

DOWN WITH THE MOST HIGH: Why Black Metal Has A Legacy Worth Preserving | ITN EP332 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week I’m joined by Daniel Rabadán Gayoso, the man behind Down With The Most High. What started in 2008 as a DIY merchandise and record label has evolved into something far more ambitious, combining extreme metal, craftsmanship, art and an uncompromising commitment to doing things properly, with the spectacular Celtic Frost, Emperor and Marduk collections being perhaps the ultimate expression of that philosophy. Daniel and I get into the origins of Down With The Most High, his decision to re

We get into the band’s origins as a studio project, the evolution of their sound from their debut, “In Nauseam”, to the new record, and the intersection of Polish and Norwegian character that has emerged in their music.

MORDANT RHED: Rhevok Vermithrax Talks Black Metal, Dead By Dawg 2, Music Documentaries & More | ITN EP329 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On this episode of Into The Necrosphere, I’m joined by Rhevok Vermithrax, frontman for US black metal upstarts, Mordant Rhed. We get into the band’s origins, their killer new split with Lord Humongous, playing Dead by Dawg 2, building a band entirely on their own terms, the importance of actually having a personality in 2026, and plenty of bullshit about professional wrestling, Broken Hope, W.A.S.P., music documentaries and Christmas movies.
