Send us a textWe're joined by guitarist and founding member Maik Weichert of German metal titans Heaven Shall Burn, as the band returns with their latest and most striking release to date—Heimat. Known for fusing unrelenting heaviness with deep social and political themes, Heaven Shall Burn once again proves why they've remained one of the most respected voices in modern metal.In this conversation, Maik dives into the broader meaning behind Heimat—an album that expands on the idea of “home” beyond geography. It reflects on both the physical homelands of different people and the spiritual sense of home—something that shapes identity, drives belief, and influences how we move through the world. It's a bold, thoughtful take that reinforces the band's commitment to making music with purpose.After more than two decades as a band, maintaining urgency and relevance is no small feat, but Heaven Shall Burn continues to evolve without compromising their message or power.AOTY contender, Heimat is out now worldwide via Century Media Records.

Présentée par Jeff - Partie BELENOS à 0:31:36   BELENOS fait partie des murs de la scène extrême hexagonale. Avec son nouvel album Egor, le projet breton célèbre aussi son trentième anniversaire. Ce dixième enregistrement studio clôture une trilogie débutée avec Kornog de 2016. Basée sur les trois éléments chez les Celtes, Egor représente ainsi l'élément feu. Il s'agit toutefois d'un feu stellaire, vu à grande échelle, à l'image de l'artwork qui représente cet opus. Nous en discutons avec son compositeur Loïc Cellier, avec qui nous prendrons un certain plaisir à observer le chemin parcouru par Belenos au cours de ses trente années actives… Pour la première partie d'émission, nous terminons cette saison avec trois nuances de black metal. Nous démarrerons avec le depressive black à tendance fortement atmosphérique d'AUSTERE. La formation australienne, très prolifique ces dernières années, propose The Stillness of Dissolution dans la droite lignée de ses deux prédécesseurs. Plus rentre-dedans, les Suédois de LORD BELIAL sont aussi à notre programme. Le dixième album Unholy Trinity sortira le 27 juin prochain. Enfin, nous diffuserons un titre de Nocturne, nouvel album de l'atypique formation HEXVESSEL. Album assez inclassable stylistiquement, mais qui parlera forcément aux amateurs de la scène.  

Interview by Kris PetersFrom the fractured depths of Australia's extreme metal underground emerges Hebephrenique, a sonic entity conjured to annihilate the boundaries between chaos and control. Rooted in a volatile blend of death metal and blackened dissonance, Hebephrenique deliver auditory psychosis with surgical precision and unrelenting ferocity.Formed to embody the fractured psyche of the modern world, Hebephrenique channels themes of mental decay, institutional horror, and existential collapse through relentless blastbeats, jagged riffs, and unhinged vocal torment. Unapologetically raw yet technically calculated, Hebephrenique are not here to entertain—they're here to rupture minds. In 2023, they inflicted their debut EP Non Compos Mentis upon the masses, and with a debut album due in 2025, prepare for the sonic depravity.With Hebephrenique one of 30 bands at Necrosonic Festival 2025 playing over three stages at the Mansfield Tavern on August 23 - joining Portal, Bolzer, Abramelin, Beanflepper, Frankenbok, Alarum, Massic, DaysEnd and more - HEAVY caught up with frontman Chris to find out more."We're really, really excited," he beamed when we asked how the band are feeling about Necrosonic 2025. "We actually got asked to play last year, and unfortunately, just with scheduling, we couldn't make it happen, and luckily we got to do it this year. We're actually bringing in our debut album this time around with us, so we get to play some live songs that have never been played before, which is really exciting."In the full interview, Chris expressed excitement about the festival's strong line up and reflected on the previous year's success while emphasizing the importance of showcasing Australian talent. He acknowledged the efforts of Kent, the festival organizer, in coordinating the event with 30 bands. He also discussed Hebephrenique's musical style, which combines early Black Death Metal with themes of mental health, and highlighted the differences between their new album, set for release on August 23, and their 2023 EP Non Compos Mentis.We spoke about the band's brutal live shows and what to expect and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Présentée par Jeff - Partie DARKENHÖLD à 0:33:47 Darkenhöld déploie depuis 2008 un univers autour d'un imaginaire médiéval onirique, arpentant les légendes et des forêts et les montagnes élevées du Sud-Est de la France, sur fond de black metal inspiré des 90's. Le sixième album, Le Fléau du Rocher, raconte plusieurs histoires en une, la principale étant tissée autour d'une guerre fratricide et d'une conspiration pour le trône… À cela se mêle mysticisme, sorcières et fantômes. Nous discutons de ce nouvel opus avec le chanteur et parolier Cerventes dans ce nouvel épisode de PFA.  Également au programme pour la première partie d'émission : SARGEIST, TRIVAX et OBSIDIAN TONGUE.

Présentée par Jeff  Trente-septième épisode de l'émission metal extrême de Radio Metal PFA pour sa treizième saison. Quatre nouveautés dans la procession avec ...AND OCEANS, MARTWA AURA, FEVERSEA et BALMOG. Également au programme, un entretien du lundi soir de Jeff... avec lui-même. Pour ne pas tomber dans la solitude narcissique la plus profonde, les questions sont posées par les fidèles de l'émission !

Présentée par Jeff  Trente-sixième numéro pour la treizième saison de la session extrême PFA avec notamment le schizophrénique black metal de MEDICO PESTE, les créatures de DECIMA, l'ambivalence de ONDFØDT, le death metal tranchant d'ANTROPOMORPHIA et les êtres mystérieux de IDOLOS.

Présentée par Jeff  Trente-cinquième numéro pour la treizième saison de la session extrême PFA avec notamment les cultissimes BEHEMOTH, les spirituels ΑΧΕΡΟΝΤΑΣ, les humeurs de GHOST BATH, les orgues de MÜTTERLEIN et les explorations spatiales de LABYRINTHUS STELLARUM !

In this episode, we definately talk about Coroner's 1988 album Punishment for Decadence, and definately don't spend most of the episode talking about anything but due to a total lack of attention span. 

From addiction to Czech prison: Lamb of God vocalist Randy Blythe shares his journey of sobriety and accountability in extreme metal's unforgiving world.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1150What We Discuss with Randy Blythe:In hindsight, Randy Blythe is grateful his metal band, Lamb of God, grew a gradual following over 30 years instead of catching instant fame and fortune. He credits this slow growth from humble beginnings for his survival, maintaining perspective and gratitude for the band's success.After battling alcoholism for 22 years, Randy made a life-saving choice in 2010 that he's maintained ever since: sobriety over ennui.In 2012, Randy was arrested in the Czech Republic on manslaughter charges after a fan died following a concert two years prior. Despite advice not to return, he chose to face trial to give the family answers and was eventually acquitted.Randy emphasizes the importance of regularly examining and questioning your own beliefs — despite how scary the answers you find might be.If you feel powerless and you're looking for a small way to have a big, positive impact on the world, Randy suggests joining the National Bone Marrow Registry (formerly Be The Match). It's free, only requires a simple cheek swab, and you could potentially save someone's life. Contributions are especially needed from underrepresented minority donors.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Présentée par Jeff  Dans un cadre bucolique, en plein cœur de la Bretagne à Querrien, un Rituel Noir vient de s'achever. Quatorze groupes se sont produits dans une grange aménagée : un lieu idyllique pour les musiques extrêmes. Tout en conservant l'esprit des Feux de Beltane ou du Satanas Ebrietas Conventus, le label Les Acteurs De L'Ombre renouvelle une expérience hors du temps. Des contes, des animations culturelles et des arts obscurs se sont mélangés le temps d'un week-end. Convaincus des éditions précédentes, nous avons pu nous rendre de nouveau sur place sur cet évènement. Équipé de micros et de nos cartes son, nous avons profité de ce cadre intimiste pour croiser et échanger avec des artistes aux actus très fraiches. Timeline : • Partie VERSATILE à 0:22:55 • Partie ǤỨŔŪ à 0:43:10 • Partie CERCLE DU CHÊNE à 01:11:06 • Partie ABYSSAL VACUUM à 01:44:27 • Partie ALUKTA à 02:08:10 Venus de Suisse, les troublions de VERSATILE ont fait sensation avec une proposition scénique forte. S'ils sont catégorisés dans le black metal industriel, les musiciens fusionnent aussi quelques influences symphoniques pour appuyer leur récit. Le quatuor raconte en effet des histoires qui mêlent fantaisie et univers post-apo, avec quatre personnages incarnés par les musiciens eux-mêmes. Les quatre membres du line-up nous parlent du premier album Les litanies du Vide et de leur univers atypique. ǤỨŔŪ a ouvert le Rituel Noir en grande pompe ! Avec un nom explicite et une scénographique déjà bien développée pour un deuxième album, le concept ritualiste du projet est une évidence. Toutefois, contrairement à d'autres groupes de la scène, nulle question ici de se prendre trop au sérieux. Bien qu'on parle notamment de cannibalisme dans le rituel, tout est fait avec un certain détachement. Pour le spectacle avant tout, mais surtout pour la musique. En effet, Jerry, le gourou du groupe, est aussi derrière la compo des Chants De Nihil. Ce nouveau projet est donc l'occasion d'expérimenter audacieusement de nouvelles choses avec un black doom très varié. Il nous explique tout cela, accompagné de ses musiciens. Le label Antiq est connu pour ses projets atypiques. Nous avons profité de la présence du stand pour parler avec Hyver du projet CERCLE DU CHÊNE. Le premier album, Récits d'Automne et de Chasse, est sorti le 21 mars dernier. Projet cofondé avec La Griesche, le conte a une place centrale dans le concept thématique du projet. Sur un fond de black metal atmosphérique épique et dungeon synth, l'influence d'un Summoning est évidente. Mais ici, pas question de chercher chez Tolkien pour raconter des histoires… Notre patrimoine regorge aussi d'histoires tout aussi maléfiques. Dès la sortie de son set avec BORGNE, nous avons pu discuter avec le prolifique et polyvalent musicien Onbra. Le guitariste a accepté d'échanger avec nous à l'occasion de la sortie du premier album d'ABYSSAL VACUUM. Après une série d'EP, le groupe essentiellement basé sur Lyon sort un album mystérieux. Le disque s'aventure dans les profondeurs des cavernes avec un black metal inspiré. Sébastien Besson, qui prônait l'élévation avec DYSYLUMN, prend donc une direction opposée avec ce projet qu'il a fondé. Son compère nous raconte les contours de ce disque qui nous plonge plus bas que terre… Le rituel est au centre de nos préoccupations. Impossible donc de passer à côté de la question du rite funéraire. ALUKTA traite de la mort et de ses rites avec son premier album. Merok est un disque qui part d'une volonté de faire du doom ritualiste, mais qui par la force des choses s'avèrent profondément black metal. Derrière ce projet, on y retrouve Brouillard (BROUILLARD, VERTIGE, SPHERE, etc), fondatrice du label underground Transcendance. Accompagnée par le multi-instrumentiste Déhà, ce nouveau projet pensé dans un contexte de deuil est un nouveau défi pour la musicienne. Elle nous présente ce premier album, sorti le 2 mai, dans notre entretien.  

Présentée par Jeff  Nouvelle émission metal extrême qui revient sur cinq sorties parmi les (très) nombreuses sorties de la fin avril 2025, de COFFIN FEEDER à KARDASHEV en passant par HATE FOREST.

Présentée par Jeff - Partie Glorior Belli à 0:33:19   Dans un contexte de guerre en Europe, GLORIOR BELLI est de retour. Sept ans après The Apostates, l'album qui affirmait le plus clairement l'étiquette de Southern Black Metal, le projet de Billy Bayou ouvre une nouvelle page. Le huitième disque porte sobrement le nom du groupe, avec un virage musical qui résonne comme un retour aux sources. Glorior Belli propose un black metal sombre et froid, qui illustre aussi le contexte actuel. Dédiée aux forces ukrainiennes, la guerre est au centre de ce nouvel opus. Nous parlons cauchemar rouge sur fond de metal extrême avec le musicien dans l'entretien du lundi soir. Pour la première demi-heure d'émission, l'ambiance n'est pas plus à la fête. Mais la musique est bonne, avec le black metal vampirique du projet allemand SUMERIAN TOMBS. Nous faisons également une petite escale en Pologne avec un disque qui sera, à coup sûr, remarqué par les amateurs de metal underground. DORMANT ORDEAL, groupe de death metal, sort Tooth and Nail, un album qui s'inscrit dans la lignée d'un Ulcerate. Enfin, le maître à penser d'HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY expose à nouveau ses névroses avec son side-projet KARG. Marodeur marque le huitième album pour le projet de post-black autrichien.

Présentée par Jeff  Nouvelle salve de sorties avec cinq nouveautés pour une procession des plus versatile... PUTRID OFFAL explore la vie de Dominique-Jean Larrey, CYTOTOXIN revient sur les racines de la catastrophe nucléaire de Tchernobyl, IN THE WOODS... nous conte les légendes de l'Otra, KORSAKOV nous parle des pertes de mémoires et BLOOD ABSCISSION nous amène dans les abysses...  Concours Rituel Noir à 00:43:00

It has truly been a while since we have listened to an album that has provoked this type of reaction from the boys, what exactly that reaction is, you'll have to listen to the album for.  This week is Matando Gueros by LA's own Brujeria

Présentée par Jeff - Partie FRACTAL UNIVERSE à 00:33:34   La machine Fractal Universe a été lancée il y a dix ans maintenant aux alentours de Nancy. Le groupe de death metal progressif et technique a rapidement forgé son nom sur la scène. Au point que les deux précédents disques, Rhizomes Of Insanity et The Impassable Horizon, sont sortis dans la prestigieuse écurie Metal Blade Records. Avec ce quatrième album, Fractal Universe veut poursuivre son univers conceptuel. Les riffs de death tech solides se mêlent aux réflexions philosophiques et au chatoyant saxophone. Fractal Universe n'a pas fini de porter le savoir-faire hexagonal hors de nos frontières. Le guitariste Yohan Dully sera dans notre entretien du lundi soir pour évoquer tout cela avec nous ! Pour lancer cette grande partie d'émission réservée à Fractal Universe, pourquoi ne pas commencer dans la même veine ? Le groupe américain ALLEGAEON présente son septième disque The Ossuary Lens, qui voit le retour d'Ezra Haynes au chant. Ce disque a deux faces, technico-brutal et plus progressif, confire que le groupe est toujours debout. La première demi-heure est aussi l'occasion de revenir sur le nouvel album d'une légende du death metal britannique, avec BENEDICTION. Ravage of Empires est sorti vendredi dernier, prouvant l'efficacité du groupe. Nous ferons aussi une petite escapade vers le black metal, avec un groupe grenoblois cette fois-ci. ALDAARON nous emmène par-delà les cimes avec son nouveau méfait.

Présentée par Jeff Podcast et émission metal extrême avec une heure consacrée aux sorties du 28 mars 2025. Une émission qui est donc riche en post-black avec DEAFHEAVEN et le disque posthume de HEIR, les expérimentations entre bouddhisme et black metal de CULT OF FIRE, le premier méfait des français de PATHS TO DELIVERANCE et la déflagration grecque de LUCIFER'S CHILD.

### English below ###In dieser Episode von Leise War Gestern spricht Flo W. mit Sean, Gitarrist und Songwriter von Worga, über einen ganz besonderen Aspekt der Musik: den perfekten Refrain. Direkt vom Hellfire over Ilsenburg Festival tauchen sie in die Welt des Extreme Metal ein und wählen ihre Favoriten – von Mgła bis Hypocrisy. Was macht einen Refrain unvergesslich? Welche Songs lösen Euphorie aus? Hört rein und findet es heraus!

Présentée par Jeff - Partie HEXECUTOR à 00:30:00 Formé en 2011, le quatuor rennais Hexecutor a démarré avec une inspiration speed/thrash metal old-school. La formation a par la suite évoluée dans d'autres directions, aussi bien plus heavy que vers une tendance extrême et un son brut. Très rapidement, Hexecutor s'est fait une solide réputation sur scène. Sa force est de parler aussi bien aux nostalgiques du thrash old school qu'aux amateurs de metal plus contemporain. Le troisième album continue d'explorer les sombres légendes et des figures de l'histoire celtique bretonne. Nous en discutons avec le chanteur guitariste Jey Deflagratör et le batteur Putrid Vön Rötten dans l'entretien du lundi soir ! Lors de la première demi-heure, nous évoquons trois sorties de la semaine passée. Focus d'abord sur les new-yorkais d'IMPERIAL TRIUMPHANT. La formation de metal extrême avant-gardiste va marquer les esprits avec son nouveau méfait très urbain Goldstar. Ensuite, nous quitterons la ville pour la forêt avec le nouveau disque Shadow Play du groupe de black metal atmosphérique ukrainien DRUDKH. Enfin, nous découvrirons les atmosphères méditerranéennes et éléments folkloriques nordiques infusés dans le metal extrême d'ARAN ANGMAR.

Dani Filth dive into Cradle of Filth's brand-new album, reflects on his band's legacy and shares a hilarious story about Ed Sheeran's first connection to the band.

The boys continue a decidedly metallic non-metal March with the titanically gnarly new album from Tennessee deathcore legends Whitechapel, the fantastic Hymns In Dissonance!

Interview by Angela CroudaceCradle of Filth's frontman, Dani Filth, sat down with HEAVY to discuss the band's 14th studio album, The Screaming of the Valkyries, their evolution over the years, and the provocative themes they've explored in their music.Dani shared that the new album brings a modern sound while still nodding to Cradle of Filth's roots, with a blend of fresh ideas and older influences. "It's a modern sound record, one step forward, but it also has a passing nod back to previous incarnations," he explained. This new direction is, in part, thanks to new members Donnie and Zoe, and the band's increased playtime during the pandemic, which helped refine their sound.Although the album doesn't have a central concept, Dani describes it as a celebration of escapism, rituals, and vampirism. He elaborated on the inspiration behind the album's title, revealing that it stems from the final track, When Misery Was a Stranger. The title The Screaming of the Valkyries was inspired by the impending doom of the Doomsday Clock, likening the sound of Valkyries' screams during Ragnarok to the existential realisation of impending disaster.On the subject of religion, Dani was candid about his views, stating that while he respects others' beliefs, he finds the notion of religion's validity in the modern age absurd. “I think time has just worn out the message,” he said, pointing to the age of science and the contradictions he sees within religious teachings. However, he emphasised that it's the belief itself, not the dogma, that holds value.Over the years, the band's dynamic has evolved significantly, with Dani noting that the band and crew have become a tight-knit family. He shared a personal moment, reflecting on a recent wedding within the band, symbolising the strong bond they now share. The influence of the band's longevity and experience shows through in the new album, which recalls elements of their older works.When asked about his favourite track from the new album, Dani pointed to Ex Sanguine Draculae, a song that takes him back to the band's earlier work in the ‘90s. “It just reminds me of the era that we did the Dusk and Her Embrace record,” he said. He also revealed the band's collaboration with renowned producer Scott Atkins, praising his approach to refining the band's sound and ensuring the production was sharp and true to their vision.Dani also shared that, if given the chance, he'd love to collaborate with Lana Del Rey, citing her gothic sensibilities and haunting voice as a perfect fit for Cradle of Filth's style. Fans of both artists may just get lucky one day.As for the fan experience, Dani recalled a bizarre moment in Australia when a fan gave the band a prosthetic leg as a gift, only for it to later be tossed onto the stage during a performance. "I don't know whether it was a gift or whether we should have given it back," he mused, "We did give it back though" he confirmed.With The Screaming of the Valkyries out this week, Cradle of Filth continues to push boundaries while honoring their legacy in the metal world. Fans can expect a thrilling mix of old and new, with Dani and his bandmates at the forefront, creating music that's as unpredictable and darkly captivating as ever.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Présentée par Jeff - Partie AKIAVEL à partir de 0:30:33 Akiavel dessine une esthétique remarquable depuis sa création en 2018. Le quatrième album InVictus est l'occasion pour le groupe d'explorer davantage ce qu'il a su créer. Son death metal puissant va toujours chercher plus loin en mélodie et en efficacité. InVictus propose des riffs mémorables qui sont taillés pour faire sensation sur scène. Naturellement, la charismatique chanteuse Auré franchit aussi un cap sur ce nouvel opus. InVictus va manier des émotions contradictoires et complexes. Puisant à la fois dans la douleur profonde, il va aussi être tiré par un brin de lumière avec l'espoir et le courage. Avec ce nouvel album, Akiavel semble donc invincible… Auré est avec nous pour parler de tout cela dans l'entretien du lundi soir. Pour la première partie d'émission, trois disques seront à l'honneur. Autre projet avec une frontwoman, DAWN OF OUROBOROS présente son troisième disque. Un album surprenant où le black et death metal progressif rencontrent des atmosphères bien plus éthérées. Nous parlons aussi blackened sludge à la sauce hardcore avec THIS GIFT IS A CURSE. L'album Heir peaufine l'esthétique singulière de ce projet suédois. Autre groupe suédois, ISTAPP revient après six ans d'absence pour présenter Sól Tér Sortna. Le groupe de black metal mélodique est en grande forme pour ce quatrième opus.  

Présentée par Jeff Le mois de février 2025 a été riche d'excellentes sorties black metal !

Death Metal December 2024 continues with a look at the second and final album from Germany's Necrophagist, 2004's Epitaph. 

Send us a textValletta's fusion of blackened arena rock and melancholic grunge n' roll creates a sound that defies easy classification. Their upcoming debut album Summer promises to dismantle metal conventions with its raw, electrifying energy, pushing the genre into new, uncharted territories.Comprised of seasoned musicians, Valletta's lineup includes drummer Justin Valletta and bassist/backing vocalist Donald Boyd (both from Mo'ynoq), guitarist/lead vocalist Keenan Carroll (Lord Almighty, ex-Barishi), and guitarist/backing vocalist Will Goodyear (Hopesfall, Prayer for Cleansing, ex-Between The Buried and Me). With their diverse musical backgrounds, each member brings something unique to the table, culminating in a sound that's fresh, innovative, and unrelentingly powerful.The band's debut full-length Summer promises to take their musicianship to the next level. Featuring 12 tracks, the album is built on the foundation of heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and a dynamic exploration of contrasts—elements that make Valletta's sound so distinctive.In discussing the creative process behind Summer, the band offered insight into the album's thematic exploration of contrasts:“The new album has been a real exploration in tearing down walls that we had previously built up over the years. Each of us comes from different musical backgrounds, and there's been a strong sense of letting go and allowing the music to unfold, regardless of how uncomfortable it may be. That's been the beauty of this journey we've started together, and it's been a great ride so far!During the writing process, a constant theme that emerged was the idea of duality. From heavier, grimier riffs to beautiful, stoic melodies. From slower, muddy depths to faster, anthemic leads. From frozen wastelands to summer nights, we've been on a journey to explore our limitations musically and emotionally. Spin that shit up!”Summer will be available on October 4 via Forcefield Records in CD, vinyl, and digital formats, delivering a sonic experience that's sure to leave a lasting impact.www.BetterHelp.com/TheBarnhttp://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn http://www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnThis episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and brought to you as always by The Barn Media Group.
