PSYCROPTIC: Jason Peppiatt On Modern Death Metal, Joining Psycroptic & The Making Of The Pulse of Annihilation | ITN EP325

This week on Into The Necrosphere, I'm joined by Psycroptic frontman Jason Peppiatt to discuss the band's crushing new album, The Pulse of Annihilation, and the remarkable journey that brought him to one of extreme metal's most respected acts. Jason reflects on his early days as a fan of the band, how the opportunity to join Psycroptic came about, and what it was like stepping into the shoes of a long-established vocalist before helping ushering in the band's next chapter. From there, we dive into why so much modern metal has lost its humanity, the unintended consequences of click tracks and digital recording, and why the best extreme metal still needs a little danger and imperfection. We also reminisce about discovering death metal through the legendary Nuclear Blast 'Death Is Just The Beginning' series, the surreal experience of eventually sharing stages - and beers - with heroes like Cannibal Corpse, memorable touring stories, and what it takes for a band to remain relevant more than two decades into their career. Then, Nathan Glover of Graveir joins me for another instalment of the Weekly News Rant as we round up the latest singles from Veilburner, Firtan, Februus, Hesperia, End of Green and more for judgment. A demented campaign against a local metal institution earns the Swirly of the Week, while Ohio blackened death industrialists Preliminus bask in the glory of the Unsanctioned Filth spotlight.    Featured Bands Psycroptic: https://psycroptic.bandcamp.com/ Preliminus: https://preliminus.bandcamp.com/music Metallica: https://www.metallica.com/   Visit intothenecrosphere.com for playlists and more.
