Keefy sits down with Nick Smith, bassist of New Zealand-based progressive death metal collective Blindfolded and Led to the Woods, to discuss the band’s fifth full-length offering, The Hardest Thing About Being God Is That No One Believes Me, out now via Prosthetic Records.The conversation takes place at the end of the band's most recent US tour with Volcandra. The album is an ambitious and immersive work built around obsession, psychological collapse, and emotional disintegration. Exploring what happens when fixation overtakes identity, the record channels the intensity of a psychotic break through tightly constructed progressive death metal, eerie production, and visceral vocal performances.Nick breaks down how the band translated these themes into sound. How they shape intricate arrangements, building narrative cohesion, and balancing technical precision with emotional impact. #BlindfoldedAndLedToTheWoods #NickSmith #ProstheticRecords #ExtremeMetal #MetalInterview#gcshoutout - This video's shoutout is to the band: MISERYhttps://www.instagram.com/miserybandadeathmetal1997/The Usual Suspects: Interview by Ghost Cult Keefyhttps://www.instagram.com/ghostcultkeefyEditing by Omar Cordyhttps://www.instagram.com/ojcpicsTheme music by Salted Woundshttps://www.instagram.com/saltedwoundsnycCheck out our linktree - updated daily with top stories:⁠https://linktr.ee/ghostcultmag

Keefy speaks with Todd Severin, founder, President, and CEO of Ripple Music, as the independent label celebrates its 15th anniversary. Known in the heavy music community as “The Toddfather,” Severin launched Ripple Music in 2010 alongside co-founder John Rancik with a mission to champion independent artists in the worlds of heavy metal, doom, and stoner rock.In this conversation, Todd reflects on the growth of Ripple Music over the past decade and a half, the label’s role in supporting underground heavy music, and the philosophy behind building a community-driven record label.Beyond his work in music, Severin also leads a remarkably diverse professional life. He is a professor of ophthalmology at the University of California, Berkeley, and a practicing eye surgeon. Recently, he expanded his creative pursuits into fiction writing with the release of his debut thriller novel, Deadly Vision, published in spring 2025 by Penmore Press.The discussion explores music, publishing, entrepreneurship, and how Severin balances his work across medicine, literature, and the independent music world.#RippleMusic #ToddSeverin #TheToddfather #HeavyMetal #StonerRock #DoomMetal #IndependentLabel #GhostCult#gcshoutout - This video's shoutout is to the band: Truckstop Dickpillhttps://www.instagram.com/truckstopdickpilltn/The Usual Suspects: Interview by Ghost Cult Keefyhttps://www.instagram.com/ghostcultkeefyEditing by Omar Cordyhttps://www.instagram.com/ojcpicsTheme music by Salted Woundshttps://www.instagram.com/saltedwoundsnycCheck out our linktree - updated daily with top stories:⁠https://linktr.ee/ghostcultmag
