#150 | David Gray on THE ANTICHRIST IMPERIUM, the early days of AKERCOCKE & more

This week I have the pleasure of welcoming Blast Vader himself, aka David Gray of Akercocke, Voices and The Antichrist Imperium to the podcast for the first time. We discuss the making of the spectacular new Antichrist Imperium record, “Vol III: Satan In His Original Glory”, the early days of Akercocke, what drew us both to metal and much more. Later on in the show, I also review the new Strigoi album, “Viscera”, and on my weekly news rant, I listen to and give you my first impressions of new singles by Noctem, Veilburner and Mord’A’Stigmata. ▶️SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST ▶️INTO THE NECROSPHERE MERCH: ▶️LISTEN ON: Amazon Music Spotify Apple Podcasts ▶️SUPPORT THE BANDS FEATURED ON THIS PODCAST: The Antichrist Imperium Akercocke Voices Strigoi ▶️SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook Instagram Twitter Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 4:25 Welcome David Gray 15:16 Authentic, Expressive Drumming 27:23 Cover Art & Comic Books 38:00 The Belfast Incident 50:30 The Next Akercocke Record 1:15:37 David’s Dad & The Early Days Of Akercocke 1:29:25 My Review Of “Viscera” By Strigoi 1:41:26 No Mercy, No Wimps (News Rant Begins) 1:56:14 Keep Toxic People Out Of Your Life 2:19:56 Noctem’s New Single Is A BEAST 2:37:32 Outro #theantichristimperium #akercocke #voices #strigoi #metalpodcast
