A bit of a trailer from all fo them:

Episode 4 – Casting Down the Heretic: Akhenaten, Amarna and Metal Music

Amenhotep IV or more commonly known as Akhenaten is one of the most interesting pharaohs of ancient Egyptian history. The pharaoh who tried to reform all Egypt’s religion was later cursed for eternity, a great topic for metal musicians to talk about. Please be welcomed for a short analysis of his reform and its impact on metal lyrics, featuring bands like Nile, Therion, Nightfall and Bay Leaf

Episode 5 – Sumerian Mythological War from Germany: Lugalbanda by Eridu

Lugalbanda, Eridu, Sumerians, a mythological war – Fascinating expression that still has something to do with metal. In today’s episode I am going to analyse and contextualize the 2019 album of German “Sumerian metal” band Eridu entitled as Lugalbanda.

Episode 6 – Necromanticism or in Deathly Memory of Necros Christos

Berlin based genies Necros Christos was one of the best of mystical crypt lurking death metal acts. As the new formation of former band members named as Sijjin is going to publish soon their debut album it could be time to a look back on the career and works of Necros Christos. I do not claim to be in possession of the whole truth about the band but here you can listen to my reading of their work. Come with me to a katabasis into the depths of graves and mysticism!
