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.
