  • Top Notch

    This is the most entertaining and informative metal podcast I’ve had the pleasure of listening to. The host, Jackie is a metal encyclopedia, and has a knack for doing the best interviews with some of the best guests from the extreme metal world. No stiff, boring interviews here, and his news rants are excellent.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

RED HARVEST: Ketil Eggum On The Band’s History, Why We Haven’t Heard New Music, The Future | ITN EP333
Q: How did the collaboration with Neil Cernan influence their music?
Working with Neil Cernan introduced a cleaner, more produced sound, which made the material feel more structured and professional, though it also required more discipline and altered the band's spontaneous recording process.
RED HARVEST: Ketil Eggum On The Band’s History, Why We Haven’t Heard New Music, The Future | ITN EP333
Q: What were the major factors that led to the band's hiatus?
Financial strain, the burden of management and accounting, health issues within the band, and the changing music industry dynamics—digital streaming and promotion challenges—made it hard to maintain the necessary momentum and joy for continuing.
RED HARVEST: Ketil Eggum On The Band’s History, Why We Haven’t Heard New Music, The Future | ITN EP333
Q: Is there a set of circumstances that exists under which Red Harvest gets back together?
There would have to be all five original members on board, and the timing, health, and finances would have to align perfectly; otherwise, it's unlikely. Ketil notes he would love to play greatest-hits shows if the lineup could be reassembled.
HEXORCIST: Gene Palubicki On Angelcorpse, Why Death Metal Went Soft, Never Compromising | ITN EP331
Q: Where did you grow up?
Gene Palubicki explains growing up in Winona, Minnesota, and how his early environment shaped his musical path.
MORDANT RHED: Rhevok Vermithrax Talks Black Metal, Dead By Dawg 2, Music Documentaries & More | ITN EP329
Q: How did Mordant Rhed decide to start playing live and evolve beyond demos?
The band formed gradually, with members joining over time, and they shifted toward live performance after a rough start with lineup changes, ultimately finding a drummer and building a stable lineup that could translate their recorded material to the stage.
