Into The Necrosphere

This week I'm joined by Wyatt Turner, the force behind the ever-popular Wyatt's Metal YouTube channel and frontman for California death metal band, Dark Insanity.
 
We dive straight into Wyatt’s fiery take on group-think and conformist attitudes in the metal scene, the origin story behind his YouTube channel, and a look at the future of his band. Plus, he shares his fascinating experiences working as an extra on film sets alongside legends like Paul Thomas Anderson and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
 
On the Weekly News Rant: I round up the latest singles by Megadeth, Enthroned, 1914, Abysmal Grief, Martröð, and more. I also give my take on Decibel Magazine’s traditionally premature Top 40 Albums Of 2025 list, and Predator: Badlands director Dan Trachtenberg lines up for a dunkin’ on my "Swirly of the Week".
 
PLUS: UK black metal band Suffering star in my Premiere Of The Sphere, with a world-first listen to a track off their forthcoming album, “Things Seen But Always Hidden”.

Death metal legend and one of my favourite guests to ever appear on the show, Chris Pervelis (Internal Bleeding), makes a triumphant return for a bourbon and red wine-fueled, no-holds-barred catch-up. We dive deep into the writing and recording of Internal Bleeding’s blistering new album “Settle All Scores”, then spiral into several unhinged tangents including the secret to a perfect steak, the unholy roar of muscle cars, Chris’s take on Black Sabbath’s final bow, and why we both secretly wish we’d majored in economics. 
 
On the Weekly News Rant, Nathan Glover from Graveir - freshly signed to Apocalyptic Witchcraft Records - joins me to dissect brand-new tracks from The Ruins of Beverast, Veilburner, and Gloriously Depraved, plus we deliver the definitive verdict on Testament’s ballsy “Seek and Destroy” cover.
