Into The Necrosphere

On this episode, I talk to Adam Agius of Alchemist (also The Levitation Hex and Pilots of Baalbek) about the early days of the band, signing to Relapse in the early 2000s, along with the events that led up to the band disbanding in 2010. I also ask the question: "What would it take for Alchemist to get back together?" PLUS - I review "Svartsyn", the comeback record by Norwegian black metal collective, Khold. And in another epic news rant, I check out latest tracks being dropped by Panzerfaust, Grima, Vimur, Gaerea and more.
