Paul Ledney Of Profanatica On "Wreathed In Dead Angels", Black Metal’s Evolution, And The Life-Changing Conversation With His Wife That Raised His Game

The legendary Paul Ledney of Profanatica makes his long overdue debut on Into The Necrosphere this week. Profanatica has just released their new EP, “Wreathed In Dead Angels” through Hells Headbangers. Paul is also a four decade veteran of extreme and underground music, who has literally seen every trend you can imagine - and was more than happy to share his unique perspective on the evolution of death and black metal, along with discussing a host of other topics.

Then it’s on to the news rant and this week I’m rounding up the latest singles by Thronum Vrondor, Dark Angel, Baest, Gaahl’s Wyrd, Necrophobic, Sodom and others for judgement. I also comment on the recent attempt to cancel Glenn Danzig, Metallica appearing ever-so-smug on the teaser to their latest documentary, and I answer more of your questions.

PLUS: a premiere on the sphere courtesy of Australian war metal brigade, Deathorde.
