Into The Necrosphere Jackie Smit

This week’s episode takes me to the Munich High End Hifi Show, where I catch up with Rune Skov, Sales Director for Gryphon Audio. We dive into his inspiring journey from teacher to a leader in one of the most cutting-edge brands in high-end audio. We chat about the future of the industry, swap hifi stories, and much more.

PLUS – I break down three budget-friendly entry-level hifi systems you’ll love, give you an exclusive tour of my own hifi rack, and reveal my top six hifi test tracks. And on my weekly news rants the latest singles by Body Count, Bewitcher, Ulcerate, Black Lava and others are rounded up for judgment.

On this episode I visited with D.G., guitarist and vocalist for Icelandic black metal powerhouse, Misthyrming, shortly following their show-stealing performance at this year’s Inferno Festival in Olso, Norway.  We discussed his influences, our shared love of Rammstein, his reflections on the band’s career to date, what motivates him today and much more. 

Later in the show, I also share another round-up of some of my favourite releases of the past few weeks, including albums by Bythos, Night Shall Drape Us and Hasslig.  On my weekly news rant I give you my first impression of new releases by Gaerea, 1349, Adversarial, Cavalera Conspiracy and others.

For this very special episode of Into The Necrosphere, I caught up with Dayal Patterson, founder of Cult Never Dies, at the Inferno Festival in Norway.  We discussed his journey from photographer to journalist and eventually writer of indisputably the greatest book to chronicles black metal’s history ever published, “Black Metal: The Evolution Of The Cult”. 

Dayal went into detail about the book’s development, the obstacles he faced on the road to completing it and of course, we also shared our thoughts on the state of the black metal scene currently.
