Death Blow Podcast

HKSPK formed in Brandenburg in 2023. From the beginning, the music, arrangements and production have been developed within the band. Their debut album Holy Scum arrived in 2024, followed by the EP The Human Butcher in 2025. The 2026 singles "Torture" and "Rot In Despair" opened the next chapter. Heimkehr connects black metal and death metal with melodic, atmospheric, doom-laden and occasionally punk-driven elements. The lyrics draw on the band's experiences, stories from their immediate surroundings and historical motifs. Reality is not hidden behind grand fiction. It is heightened until it fits the music. HKSPK deliver focused, high-impact live performances. They have supported Asagraum, Enisum and Waldgeflüster, appeared at M.U.R. Open Air, Godless Mountain Open Air and Summer Ends, and played a headline show in Brno. The band has recently been featured in international media including Legacy Magazine, RAMzine, Whiskey Soda, Rock Era Magazine, Acta Infernalis, Fatal Underground and Slowly We Rot.

Paradogmata is a Norwegian progressive extreme metal band from Trondheim, blending melodic thrash, death metal, black metal and doom into one distinctive sound. Formed in 2018, the band evolved into a new chapter after guitarist Øystein Granamo Iversen and drummer Kim Sætre joined in 2025, broadening their sound even further. Their new EP, "Necrosian Tastings," serves as a first glimpse into the upcoming full-length album "Necrosian Litanies," due in early 2027. The EP features two new tracks — "Leave the Crippled Behind" and "Maladieu" — alongside two reimagined versions of their single "Kråkevisa": a harsher black metal rendition and a folk-driven version featuring Ingvild "Sareeta" Strønen Johannesen on Hardanger fiddle and violin.

In this episode of Death Blow Podcast, we sit down with Naïwyn, the mastermind behind AZGAAL — a French metal project that's been quietly carving out its own dark, esoteric path since the early 2000s. We trace the full journey: from an unreleased demo tape that laid the groundwork for the project, through nearly a decade of underground releases including Solitude & Wisdom (2011) and A Matter of Death (backed by Vrangsin of Carpathian Forest), to the 2022 turning point Apotheosis — the album that redefined AZGAAL's identity and unveiled the occult, magical universe the project is now known for. We also dig into the 2025 collaboration with dungeon synth artist Werna Wolf on the EP Holy Grail, and the brand new release Divine Hitman, out now via Fetzner Death Records. If you're into atmospheric, occult, and esoteric metal — this is a conversation you don't want to miss. 👉 Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more interviews from the underground metal scene. 🎸 Find AZGAAL: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/azgaalmusic Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Azgaal/61593280785222/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/intl-it/artist/7r5w6MqYUziGpnwhSVIkaM Bandcamp: https://azgaal.bandcamp.com/album/a-mort-la-tyrannie YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Azgaal #AZGAAL #FrenchMetal #OccultMetal #BlackMetal #DungeonSynth #Naïwyn #DivineHitman #Apotheosis #DeathBlowPodcast #UndergroundMetal #MetalPodcast

Before his name became synonymous with the birth of Norwegian black metal, Euronymous lent his hand to helping produce Mortem's "Slow Death" demo — a lesser-known chapter in extreme metal history. Decades later, the band is back with their new album "Mørketid," out July 3rd via Peaceville Records. In this interview, I have written questions with the Norwegian band Mortem to talk about the making of "Slow Death," their collaboration with Euronymous, the early Norwegian black metal underground, and their brand new album "Mørketid." From old memories to what's next for the band, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
