Into The Necrosphere – Details, episodes & analysis

Justin Horval, host of the wildly popular Dead By Dawg Youtube channel and one of the founders of the legendary Hells Headbangers joins the podcast for the first time this week. No wimps or posers are spared as J-Dawg runs the gamut of his upcoming Dead By Dawg Fest, the evolution of his channel, the early days of Hells, bodybuilding and more.

Then it’s on to this week’s News Rant, where I’m joined by my good friend Svartalv of Nocturnal Breed, Gehenna and Engangshammer.  We round up the latest singles by Conan, Obsidian Tongue, In The Woods and Nightfall for judgement, while Svartalv gives me the low-down on all his musical endeavors.

Chris McEwin makes his Into The Necrosphere debut this week.  Chris is the bassist for Australian blackened death metal titans, Destruktor.  Their latest album, “Indomitable” is available on Hells Headbangers right now and was a featured record in my Top 30 albums of last year.  In addition, Chris is a Jiu-Jitsu black belt and coach in his hometown of Geelong, Australia.  

Also in this episode: my weekly news rant rounds up new singles from Hexvessel, Gates To Hell, Dormant Ordeal, The Haunted, …And Oceans, and others for judgement. I also share my five favorite all-time bands, tell you which now-defunct UK bands I’d love to see reform, and much more.

Plus, a killer new single from Centuries of Decay cements their place among underground legends—earning them a spot on my Unsanctioned Filth segment.

I’m back!  And to kick off another year, I’m joined by Graveir frontman, Gutter Prince Cabal head honcho and my good friend, Nathan Glover, to analyze, discuss, debate, dissect and celebrate our favourite albums of 2024. 

PLUS: an extra spicy news rant that includes my first impressions of the latest singles by Spiritworld, Kryptan, Scour and others, as well as my thoughts on some of the biggest disappointments of the past twelve months, what I'd consider a suitable punishment for animal abuser and low-IQ simpleton Tim Lambesis of As I Lay Crying, my hatred of prog and more.
