Into The Necrosphere Eoghan (AKHLYS) On Meeting Naas Alcameth And Joining Akhlys, His Metal Journey, Being A Multi-Instrumentalist And More
This week, Eoghan, the drummer of Akhlys, steps into the spotlight to discuss the creation and recording of their 2024 triumph, House of the Black Geminus. We dive deep into his personal journey—from his early days as a guitarist, to picking up the bass, and finally finding his place behind the drum kit. He opens up about his initial encounter with Naas Alcameth, how he became part of Akhlys, and the unique musical perspective he brings to the band’s creative furnace.
Then, brace yourself for this week’s News Rant: no wimps, no mercy. I answer more of your questions, including the ultimate death metal showdown—Glen Benton vs. David Vincent for the title of supreme frontman. As always, I sift through the latest metal headlines so you don’t have to, delivering my first takes on new singles from Benediction, Nattverd, Blood Abscission, and others. PLUS: Australian death metal juggernauts Nothing take center stage in this week’s Premiere on the Sphere, unleashing a fresh track from their forthcoming album, The Self Repair Manifesto.
