CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX: Ruin, Redemption & the Making of 'Sceaduhelm' | ITN EP317

This week I’m joined by Justin Greaves and Belinda Kordic to discuss the making of the latest Crippled Black Phoenix offering, Sceaduhelm. We dive deep into the album’s influences and the inspiration behind many of its tracks. Along the way, we also explore Justin and Belinda’s individual musical journeys — from Justin growing up around his father’s record store, which helped shape his remarkably broad musical palette, to Belinda’s evolution from extreme metal screamer into one of the most stirring and distinctive vocalists in heavy music today. On the Weekly News Rant, Sheriff Mike Scondotto returns by popular demand to help round up the latest singles for judgment and mull over the metal issues of the day. We give our first impressions of new tracks by Anthrax, Madball, Forsmán and others, while also answering some of your questions. PLUS: two servings of Unsanctioned Filth courtesy of Christbane with a track from their upcoming record, Antichrist, alongside the bleak death metal stylings of UK extremists Aeffect.    Featured Bands Crippled Black Phoenix: https://crippledblackphoenixsom.bandcamp.com/   Christbane: https://christbane.bandcamp.com/  Aeffect:  https://aeffect.bandcamp.com/  Danzig: https://danzigsingselvis.bandcamp.com/    Visit intothenecrosphere.com for playlists and more.
