    NUKEM: Steve Brogden On Landing His Dream Job, Playing Thrash & ‘The Grave Remains’ | ITN EP314

    Steve Brogden of California thrash upstarts Nukem joins the podcast this week to dive into the band’s ferocious new record, The Grave Remains. Beyond the music, Steve breaks down how he landed a dream job as a guitar tech for the legendary Gary Holt, and offers a candid, behind-the-curtain look at life on tour with high-profile bands. We also talk about the lessons that the new generation can take from the old guard and talk about some of Steve’s favourite thrash albums and influences.

    WEREWOLVES: Chaos, Catharsis & Blastbeats - Sam Bean Returns | ITN EP313

    Sam Bean, bassist and vocalist for Into The Necrosphere favourites Werewolves, returns to the podcast this week for a wide-ranging discussion spanning both musical and personal territory. He reflects on his experiences as a musician, shares a surprising update on Australian noise merchants The Berzerker, and offers insight into future plans for Werewolves and Faustian. In a surprise twist, we also get unexpectedly deep on our respective journeys through adulthood, careers and relationships. On the Weekly News Rant: I rank my favourite drummers and guitarists, and round up the latest singles from Reeking Aura, At The Gates, Cognizance, Behemoth, Wandar and more for judgement. PLUS: SIK’s new single, “Sons of Pestilence”, basks in the glow of the Unsanctioned Filth spotlight, while a chance discovery of a black metal “sketch” list merits a brutal Swirly of the Week—and a one-way trip to the porcelain bowl of justice.

    ULTHA: Ralph Schmidt Breaks Down "A Light So Dim" (Track-by-Track) | ITN EP312

    On April 2nd, 2026, Ultha dropped the surprise follow-up to their critically acclaimed album All That Has Never Been True with no warning, press or prior buildup. Ahead of its release, I sat down with my good friend Ralph Schmidt, guitarist for Ultha, to dissect the new record, A Light So Dim. Ralph takes us track-by-track through the album, unpacking the personal experiences behind it, the evolution within the band, and how those shifts shaped its final sound. On the Weekly News Rant: I’m answering your questions on hi-fi, grilling the perfect steak, and TV shows, while rounding up the latest tracks by Trelldom, Defiled, Aversio Humanitatis, Mork, Shane Embury and others for judgement. PLUS: Horsemen of the Podcast Apocalypse capos Mike Hill and Karl Hikara join forces with the mighty Drugoth for Hollow Lands in this week’s Unsanctioned Filth spotlight, and a feeble attempt at trolling backfires spectacularly, earning its author a well-deserved Swirly of the Week.
