    CHRISTOPHER DEAN (aka NECROSHORNS) | Into The Necrosphere Podcast #242

    This week I welcome a man who I consider to be the best photographer working in extreme music today, Christopher Dean aka Necroshorns.  Our conversation spans a wide range of topics that include his decision to leave behind a career as a commercial airline pilot and pursue his dream of becoming a photographer.  He shares his harrowing experiences being in Israel on October 7th last year, and I discover the story of “The Omen”, one of the most infamous black metal photos taken since Kvitrafn took a stroll down the streets of Bergen. Then Matt Priso of Conspiracy X, Spells ov Torment and SIK joins me for a packed weekly news rant, where we dissect the latest singles by Cosmic Putrefaction, Black Curse, Mother of Graves, Mörk Gryning and more.   PLUS: Another ‘Premiere on the Sphere’ as we unveil the brand new Conspiracy X single, “The Wicked Feast” for the first time ever.   ▶️FOLLOW NECROSHORNS ON SOCIAL MEDIA https://www.instagram.com/necroshorns/  ▶️SUPPORT THE BANDS FEATURED ON THIS EPISODE Darvaza https://darvazablackmetal.bandcamp.com/  Conspiracy X https://conspiracyx.bandcamp.com/  Triptykon https://www.triptykon.net/  ▶️SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST  https://youtube.com/c/IntoTheNecrosphere  ▶️STREAM & DOWNLOAD Amazon Music https://amzn.to/3epNJ4K Spotify https://spoti.fi/3iKqbIP Apple Podcasts https://apple.co/38wDYhi  ▶️SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook https://www.facebook.com/intothenecrosphere   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/intothenecrosphere     Twitter https://twitter.com/inecrosphere   ▶️INTO THE NECROSPHERE MERCH https://into-the-necrosphere.creator-spring.com ▶️THE HORSEMEN OF THE PODCASTING APOCALYPSE  Horrorwolf666 https://thehorrorwolf666podcast.buzzsprout.com/  Everything Went Black https://everythingwentblack.podbean.com/  Necromaniacs https://necromaniacs.podbean.com/  Sol Nox https://www.solnoxpodcast.podbean.com/  Iblis Manifestations https://linktr.ee/iblismanifestationspodcast
