You all know how I feel about horror and horror podcasts.  This week, I’d like to welcome Kainan Becker, the host of Ghost Pirate Entertainment, a great YouTube channel that covers horror on the streaming platforms.  I check in with Kainan on a weekly basis to get the lowdown on what to check out on the seemingly endless content available out there.

Continuing my dive into sick Australian musicians with intense work ethics, I chat with Drugoth.  It was another early morning for me, but we had a great conversation.  For those of you who tuned into the Into the Necrosphere Best of 2023 episodes, you will remember that Drugoth’s LP “Battles May Cease But War is Forever” rated quite high on my list.

Outro:   “Primordial Savagery” - Drugoth

Horseman Known Associate Matt Priso joins us this week.  Matt has appeared on Into the Necrosphere and Sol Nox and is the creative force behind Sik, Conspiracy X, Spells ov Torment and his newest project Intrafear. Addionally, he is an incredible visual artist and painter.  We get deep into the creative process and the conversation veered off into some very cool places.  I’ve always felt that it was inevitable that we would talk, so it was a great pleasure to sit down and get after it with Matt.

Outro:  “Torture” – Conspiracy X

It seems like we are living in a Conan the Barbarian Renaissance. Just over the past month, we had the latest issue of Titan’s outstanding Conan the Barbarian color comic, the debut of the new Savage Sword of Conan and the Conan Chronicles, a mammoth collection of the two films, hours of extra and a book, all brought to you in 4K by Arrow.

It was inevitable that Karl and I sat down and discuss all of this action.
