  • Interview with Roy Kristensen of Imhotep fanzine on Deathspell Omega

    A few years ago, Damon conducted his first interview with the underground legend Roy Kristensen, author of Imhotep Zine and conductor of the final interview with Deathspell Omega. They spoke primarily about his contact with Deathspell and why the fascination with this mysterious band is so strong amongst their fans. What makes them so special to Roy? How much, or how little, does the man in contact with them for 13 years know about their inner workings? Find out in this episode!
