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.

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.
