Into The Necrosphere: Recent Episodes

Jackie Smit

Into The Necrosphere is a weekly metal podcast hosted by Jackie Smit. Tune in every Tuesday for reviews of new music and candid discussions with the finest free-thinkers in extreme metal, where no topic is off limits.

Huge double episode this week as I wrap up my coverage of Fortress Festival 2026.

First up, I’m sitting down with P.G. from Groza to discuss their latest record, Nadir, how they evolved from a solo project into a band-led effort, dealing with the inevitable comparisons to Mgła and much more. Then, my friend and world-renowned photographer Necroshorns is back. He shares his perspective on the changing face of metal festivals, the commercial realities of these events and the growing prominence of photographers as an integral part of the festival experience. He also reflects on the late, great Bartholomäus Resch and the legacy of the House of the Holy festival.

If that’s not enough for you, The Sheriff - Mike Scondotto - is back on the Weekly News Rant! We answer your questions, including our favourite intro riffs, the best death metal album of all time and more. We also round up the latest singles from Archgoat, Prong, Xentrix and Sorcery for judgment. And the torch-and-pitchfork brigade are out for Jorge Rosado’s blood, so they get their due reckoning on the Swirly Of The Week.

PLUS - New Jersey extremists Filthy Ilk step into the “Unsanctioned Filth” spotlight.

This week, I’m back at Fortress Festival 2026 for a face-to-face interview with Ken Sorceron of Abigail Williams. We dive into the early days of the band, as Ken shares stories from their first-ever tour, supporting none other than the legendary Emperor. We also talk about Abigail Williams’ evolution alongside the development of the US black metal scene, and Ken shares the story behind the making of the band’s most recent album, A Void Within Existence.

On the Weekly News Rant, I’m answering YOUR questions, including which non-metal guests I’d love to have on the show, which revered bands I just can’t get into, and which musicians I’ve interviewed whose music I ended up liking more - but the person less. Plus, plenty more!

I also round up the latest singles by Silvertomb, Sigh, Krallice, Kanonenfieber and Critical Defiance for judgment.

PLUS — Illinois blackened death metallers Solt serve up a man-sized helping of “Unsanctioned Filth”.

This week, I'm honoured to welcome all three founding members of Sweden's legendary Vinterland - Andreas Jonsson, Pehr Skjoldhammer and D.F. Bragman - to Into The Necrosphere. Not only is this their first appearance on the show, but it also marks the first long-form podcast interview any of the three founding members have ever given together, making this a genuinely historic conversation for fans of one of black metal's most revered cult bands.

We explore the story behind “Welcome My Last Chapter” - from its enduring legacy and why it continues to resonate decades later, to the band's long absence, their return to the stage, the evolution of their songwriting, and why Vinterland has always followed its own path rather than the expectations of the black metal scene. We also revisit the chaotic journey that nearly prevented the band from making it to Fortress Festival, reflect on what it means to create timeless music, and discuss what the future holds for Vinterland after one of metal's most unlikely and celebrated comebacks.

On the Weekly News Rant, Karl Haikara returns to the show to round up the latest releases from Terrestrial Hospice, Taake, Forbidden, Rapid and others for judgement. We discuss the recently announced formation of Towards The Sinister, list the metal subgenres we simply can't get into, pay tribute to the late, great Lou Koller from Sick of it All and on the Swirly of the Week we take aim at black metal fans afraid of buying a T-shirt without first checking whether it's socially acceptable.

PLUS - two exclusive Premieres On The Sphere, courtesy of Theosophy and Conspiracy X

This week on Into The Necrosphere, I'm joined by Psycroptic frontman Jason Peppiatt to discuss the band's crushing new album, The Pulse of Annihilation, and the remarkable journey that brought him to one of extreme metal's most respected acts. Jason reflects on his early days as a fan of the band, how the opportunity to join Psycroptic came about, and what it was like stepping into the shoes of a long-established vocalist before helping ushering in the band's next chapter. From there, we dive into why so much modern metal has lost its humanity, the unintended consequences of click tracks and digital recording, and why the best extreme metal still needs a little danger and imperfection.

We also reminisce about discovering death metal through the legendary Nuclear Blast 'Death Is Just The Beginning' series, the surreal experience of eventually sharing stages - and beers - with heroes like Cannibal Corpse, memorable touring stories, and what it takes for a band to remain relevant more than two decades into their career.

Then, Nathan Glover of Graveir joins me for another instalment of the Weekly News Rant as we round up the latest singles from Veilburner, Firtan, Februus, Hesperia, End of Green and more for judgment. A demented campaign against a local metal institution earns the Swirly of the Week, while Ohio blackened death industrialists Preliminus bask in the glory of the Unsanctioned Filth spotlight.

This week on Into The Necrosphere, Alan Averill of Primordial returns to the podcast for one of our most thought-provoking conversations to date. We discuss what it means to become a legacy band, why Primordial's lyrics seem more relevant today than they did thirty years ago, the rise of AI and its impact on creativity, and whether heavy metal is still capable of producing artists with genuine authenticity and staying power.

We also explore the changing nature of the music industry, the pressures of growing older in extreme metal, why so much modern art feels increasingly disposable, and Alan shares his thoughts on the state of the scene as only he can.

On the Weekly News Rant, I check out the latest singles by Hulder, From The Vastland, Terrestrial Hospice, Mordant Rhed, Left To Die and others, debate which modern black metal bands have what it takes to replace the likes of Mayhem, Emperor and Satyricon as genuine festival headliners, countdown my favourite Motörhead songs and, of course, dunk another deserving recipient on my Swirly of the Week.

Plus: Epikoros deliver a fire-and-brimstone debut with “Black Sun Eclipse” and take a thoroughly deserved bow in the Unsanctioned Filth spotlight.

This week on Into The Necrosphere, Alex "Impaler" Friberg joins me for a wide-ranging conversation covering his journey from discovering extreme metal to founding Firespawn and, ultimately, sharing the stage with one of death metal's most iconic frontmen, the late, great LG Petrov.

We also dive into Alex's life beyond music, including his transition into professional tattooing, the story of inking the woman who would later become his wife, the enduring legacy of the Stockholm death metal scene, and why so many modern bands are still chasing the classic Sunlight Studio sound.

On the Weekly News Rant, I round up the latest singles from Fimbul Winter, Runemagick, Moonspell, Dysgnostic, Avulsed, Rapid, Viande and more. I also answer more of your questions, including my favourite doom metal releases of the 21st century, my thoughts on the recently announced Fortress Festival and Maryland Deathfest line-ups, and I reflect on last week's tragic news surrounding Shaun Glass and B. War.
PLUS: Australia's best-kept black metal secret, Permafog, return with what may well be the EP of the year in Kings of Men.

This week on Into The Necrosphere, I'm joined by Adam Gregory, Festival Director of Bloodstock Open Air, for an in-depth conversation about the past, present and future of the UK's biggest independent metal festival.

We discuss the challenge of finding the next generation of festival headliners, Bloodstock's remarkable growth, booking philosophy, the changing landscape of heavy music, and why Adam believes AI-generated bands have no place in metal. We also dive into fan expectations, social media criticism, the realities of running a major festival, and what it takes to keep Bloodstock thriving in an increasingly competitive market.

Then it's time for another edition of The Weekly News Rant, with the Reverend Karl Hikara returning to the co-host's chair.

Beyond the music, we discuss the state of modern metal crowds, "Banana-gate", and the hardcore bands that helped shape Mike's musical outlook.

Hulder

Devourment

Faustian

Originally featured on Into The Necrosphere Episode 320.

This week I'm continuing my coverage from this year's Fortress Festival as I'm joined by the legendary Yusaf 'Vicotnik' Parvez of Dødheimsgard for a wide-ranging discussion.

This week I'm joined by Jason Mendonca, David Gray and Sam Loynes from Akercocke at the Fortress Forum, part of Fortress Festival 2026, to reflect on their seminal 2003 masterpiece, Choronzon. The band reveal lesser-known stories from the making of the album, discuss its enduring legacy, and share their thoughts on how both the metal scene and wider culture have changed since its release. I also ask about the possibility of new material, and the band takes questions from the audience.

This week Catherine and Hamish Glencross join me for a raucous, wide-ranging discussion featuring a deep dive into the making of the new Projections record by Godthrymm. We explore the evolution of the band’s sound across their three-album discography, Catherine’s increasingly prominent role on newer material, and the perks and pitfalls of balancing marriage, family and careers with life in a band. Along the way, Hamish also shares insights from his time with Vallenfyre and My Dying Bride — and I drop a huge announcement of my own.

Then it’s on to the Weekly News Rant, where I round up the latest singles from Verzauber, Chamber of Unlight, Left to Die, Witch Club Satan and more for judgment.

This week I’m joined by Justin Greaves and Belinda Kordic to discuss the making of the latest Crippled Black Phoenix offering, Sceaduhelm. We dive deep into the album’s influences and the inspiration behind many of its tracks. Along the way, we also explore Justin and Belinda’s individual musical journeys — from Justin growing up around his father’s record store, which helped shape his remarkably broad musical palette, to Belinda’s evolution from extreme metal screamer into one of the most stirring and distinctive vocalists in heavy music today.

Hellripper mastermind, James McBain, joins me on the show this week to chart the band’s evolution from a one-man black/speed metal assault to one of the most electrifying forces in the underground. We get into his songwriting process, the evolution of the Hellripper sound, and how he overcame performance anxiety to emerge as one of metal’s most commanding frontmen.

On the Weekly News Rant, I react to two huge surprises from the past weekend: a new Darkthrone record and the long-awaited return of Neurosis. I also share first impressions of new material from Ashen Horde, High Parasite, and Samael, plus my take on the divisive new Exodus album—and plenty more.

On the weekly news rant, I round up the latest singles from Deathstorm, Archspire, Warsenal, Yoth Iria, and Trelldom for judgment. I also answer more of your questions, including ranking my favourite Marduk albums and revealing some of the cover songs I’d love to see metal bands take on.

There’s also a Premiere on the Sphere, as Australian black metallers Graveir unveil the first taste of their upcoming album, The Festering Triad. And finally, labelling bands as “sketch” based on hearsay and internet rumour earns one member of the online red guard a double dunk in the Swirly of the Week.

This week on Into The Necrosphere, Hellenic black metal legend The Magus joins me to discuss his new album Daemonosophia and his pivotal role in shaping the Greek black metal movement as a founding force behind Necromantia.

Martin shares the excitement and lessons from his first release, provides insight into what Prophecy looks for when signing new artists, and discusses the evolving roles of music journalism and podcasting. He also explains the beginnings of the increasingly popular Prophecy Fest, and sheds light on the modern challenges of navigating societal issues as a label owner.

Beyond the Gates 2025, held from July 30 to August 2 in Bergen, Norway, was a must-visit for metal fans. This iconic festival, set across historic venues like Grieghallen and USF Verftet, delivered a killer lineup with King Diamond’s first Norwegian show in 19 years, Paradise Lost, Misthyrming and more.

Featuring 18 bands making their festival debut and epic sets like Gehenna’s original lineup and Abbath tearing through Immortal’s discography, it was a diverse celebration of black, death, and heavy metal.

Fresh from Bergen, here’s my review of the thirteenth edition of Norway’s legendary festival.

On my Weekly News rant, I round up the latest singles by Tombs, Internal Bleeding, Esoctrilihum, Imperialist and Ofermod for judgment. Plus, I reflect on the passing of Ozzy Osbourne.

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.

This week I’m pleased to welcome the godfather of dungeon synth and former bassist for Emperor, the legendary Mortiis. Our discussion spanned all of his various eras, his decision to return to the stage after a lengthy hiatus. We speak about the realities of growing older as a musician and Mortiis reveals why he almost gave up on music altogether.

Then, it’s on to a rundown of some of my favourite releases of the last weekend, including new albums by Other World, Modern Rites, Deceased and Concrete Winds. On my weekly news rant I round up the latest singles by Nasty Savage, Aiwaz, To The Grave, Veilburner and Vulvodynia.

PLUS: Dutch black metal quartet, The Shiva Hypothesis, step into the independent band spotlight.

This is a conversation recorded at the inaugural Fortress Forum, part of the 2024 installment of Fortress Festival held in Scarborough, UK on June 1st and 2nd.

Gaerea is a Portuguese black metal band that emerged in 2016. Known for their atmospheric and intense sound, they have built a formidable reputation off the back of their intense live performances, and unique blend of raw aggression and melancholic melodies.

This week Harald Fossberg - a journalist, writer of “Nyanser Av Svart” and member of death punks, Turbonecro - joins the podcast to share his perspective on the advent and evolution of Norwegian black metal. We also talk about the influence of British bands like Judas Priest and Killing Joke on the scene, and we reflect on the panel discussion about hate speech in black metal that both of us participated in at this year’s Inferno Festival.

Later, I review one of the year’s most anticipated releases in “Cutting The Throat Of God” by unorthodox death metal visionaries, Ulcerate. And on my weekly news rant, the latest singles by Winterfylleth, Horned Almighty, ColdCell, Black Lava and others are rounded up for judgment.

This week Mateo Von Bewitcher joins me to reflect on Bewitcher’s first decade of existence by taking me on a curated tour of their new retrospective compilation, “Deep Cuts & Shallow Graves”. We also discuss the controversy surrounding Vince McMahon (formerly) of the WWE, share our opinions on the most evil sounding albums ever recorded and much more.

I also do a round-up of my favourite releases from the past few weeks, including new records by Hulder and Karkosa, and I showcase the atmospheric black metal of Ferox Occulta.

PLUS on this week’s news rant:
* The AI cover art controversy gains steam as Pestilence decide to pick a fight with their fans * Zakk Wylde says he’s open to making music with Phil, Rex and Charlie - just don’t call it Pantera * Rotting Christ’s Sakis is in an introspective mood on “Like Father, Like Son” * Crawl deliver a masterclass in relentless, bludgeoning Swedish death metal

Kyle Rasmussen joins me this week for a conversation about the making of “Suffer & Become”, masculinity, authentic creative expression, cancel culture and much more. It's a chat for the ages and definitely NOT for sensitive souls.

- Deicide commit the ultimate blasphemy by commissioning AI album artwork
- High on Fire are back and unsurprisingly their new material is top notch
- Transcending Obscurity’s latest signing, Construct of Lethe, may be one of their greatest finds to date
- There’s a new Ondfødt EP on the way and it’s a beast

This week I track down Kelly Tee and Miatt Priso, presenters of the SLAVE TO THE UNDERGROUND podcast, to find out why they’ve been quiet for the past eight months. Matt gives me the scoop on the resurrected SPELLS OV TORMENT and we discuss life, love, black metal and whole lot inbetween.

I also do a round-up of some of my favourite new releases, including albums by SPIRITWORLD, JADE and BLACK LAVA. Plus - the news rant is back and this week I’m reacting to new tracks by ENSLAVED, AND OCEANS, HOST and, of course, METALLICA.
