As a metalhead creeping towards middle age, it’s easy to fall back on your old favourite albums, but this podcast has specifically alerted me to new bands or records that I’d never have listened to oth... more

    This is the most entertaining and informative metal podcast I’ve had the pleasure of listening to.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

GODTHRYMM: Hamish & Catherine Glencross on ‘Projections’ & Life in Doom Metal | ITN EP318
Q: What prompted the move to a more collaborative writing process for Projections?
They describe having more time to jam in the studio, a shift from a rehearsal-room workflow to a more integrated home-studio environment, and a desire to blend ideas from multiple members, including Sean on drums and Chris on guitar.
VIA DOLORIS: Satyricon, Via Doloris & The Art Of Black Metal Chaos | ITN EP316
Q: Why did you decide to pursue Via Doloris after Satyricon, and what was the creation process like?
The decision came after a long period of jazz guitar work and a renewed metal influence; the process was lengthy and solitary, with the artist crafting the music first, then seeking a vocalist (ultimately performing everything himself), and only later assembling the production team.
VIA DOLORIS: Satyricon, Via Doloris & The Art Of Black Metal Chaos | ITN EP316
Q: What was the experience like joining Satyricon after years as a fan?
It was intimidating yet affirming; the guest felt solid about his playing and adapted to the different vibe of the band, using it as a platform to grow while maintaining his own musical identity.
CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX: Ruin, Redemption & the Making of 'Sceaduhelm' | ITN EP317
Q: How vindicating does it feel to be where you are now after two decades with the band?
The guests express that they focus on the work and value staying true to their process, emphasizing that success feels earned through consistency and personal belief rather than chasing external validation.
WEREWOLVES: Chaos, Catharsis & Blastbeats - Sam Bean Returns | ITN EP313
Q: What catalyzed your shift from other careers back into music, and how did it shape Werewolves?
The combination of seizing a regular role with Werewolves, finding the right people to collaborate with, and a bit of luck—plus strong relationships that kept me grounded—helped me re-enter music with purpose and momentum.
