This week, Harri Kuokkanen from Finnish death doom ensemble, Hooded Menace, joins me to unpack their upcoming record, “Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration”. We explore the band’s sonic evolution, their decision to no longer play live and our shared obsession with all things Danzig and Samhain.

On the Weekly News Rant, the latest singles by Enthroned, Agnostic Front, Corrosion of Conformity, Bliss of Flesh, Kreator and Soulfly are rounded up for judgment. I also answer your questions, including my take on W.A.S.P’s “The Headless Children”, what veteran bands I consider to still be at the top of their game and much more.

PLUS: London legends, Corpsing, just dropped a live EP and you get a taste of what to expect on this week’s edition of Unsanctioned Filth.
