  PODCAST: Episode 1042 - Dry Wedding's Davey Ferchow on "The Back of Beyond" and Portland's Most Unclassifiable Band 09.09.2026 34min

  Chris Elliott (Cell Arts Media and  ⁨@Black-Angeles⁩ )  caught up with Davey Ferchow, vocalist and guitarist of Portland's  ⁨Dry Wedding⁩, to discuss the band's third album, "The Back of Beyond," released July 31, 2026, via Vesperian/ Metal Blade Records. Davey breaks down the making of the band's heaviest and most ambitious record to date, how the volcanic badlands, forested valleys, and Painted Hills of Oregon shaped the album's atmosphere, and what it took to get here after the band's van and all of their gear were stolen at the end of a West Coast tour in 2023 , forcing them to rebuild from scratch before returning to the road only months later.Dry Wedding formed in 2018 after vocalist and guitarist Davey Ferchow posted Craigslist ads searching for musicians inspired by The Birthday Party, Swans, and 16 Horsepower. "The Back of Beyond" follows their pandemic-era debut, The Long Erode, recorded with legendary producer Billy Anderson (Neurosis, SLEEP, Witch Mountain), and their self-financed second album, "Sway." Operating across post-punk, gothic country, noise rock, black metal, and doom, Dry Wedding has built one of the Pacific Northwest's most singular and unclassifiable sounds.Special thanks to Earsplit PR for setting up this interview.This video's #gcshoutout → Enderahttps://www.instagram.com/enderamusic/The Usual Suspects:Interview by Chris Elliotthttps://linktr.ee/c.ellartsEditing 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#DryWedding #TheBackOfBeyond #DaveyFerchow #PostPunk #GothicCountry #NoiseRock #BlackMetal #Doom #Portland

  Chris Elliott (Cell Arts Media /  ⁨Black-Angeles⁩ ) caught up with James McHenry, the songwriter and producer behind Chicago cybergrind project Blind Equation, to discuss the band's latest album, "A Funeral in Purgatory," released in 2025 through  ⁨Prosthetic Records⁩. James breaks down how a solo internet project started in 2012, blending abrasive electronic beats, 8-bit video game aesthetics, heavy bass synths, and emotional screaming, eventually expanded into a full live lineup and one of extreme music's most genuinely genre-resistant projects.The conversation covers the creative DNA behind Blind Equation, what sets cybergrind apart from every adjacent subgenre, and how "A Funeral in Purgatory" pushes darker and further than 2023's "Death Awaits," into territory that defies easy categorization.Buy "A Funeral in Purgatory" and find more info here:https://prostheticrecords.com/artists/blind-equation/This video's #gcshoutout → Temple of the Fuzz Witchhttps://www.instagram.com/templeofthefuzzwitch/The Usual Suspects:Interview by Ghost Cult Chris Elliotthttps://linktr.ee/c.ellartsEditing 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#BlindEquation #JamesMcHenry #AFuneralInPurgatory #Cybergrind #ProstheticRecords #8BitMetal

  GhostCultKeefy caught up with Igor Amadeus Cavalera to discuss Nailbomb's first-ever U.K. and U.S. tours, running alongside headliners  Soulfly  and, in the U.S., special guest Incite, through September 2026. Igor breaks down what it means to front the legendary industrial thrash cult project his father, Max Cavalera formed in 1993, how the elite touring lineup came together, featuring Travis Stone, Adam Jarvis, and Alex Cha of  Pig Destroyer alongside Jackie Cruz of  Go Ahead And Die , and what Nailbomb sounds like unleashed on a live stage for the first time in the United Kingdom.Nailbomb originally formed as a side project between Max Cavalera and Alex Newport of Fudge Tunnel, releasing one abrasive studio album before going dormant. Newport is not part of the current reunion, but Max and Igor have assembled one of the most formidable touring lineups in extreme music to bring the band's fusion of thrash metal fury, industrial rhythms, and crust punk energy to U.K. audiences across five dates in September before they hit the States.Find tour dates and tickets here:https://www.soulfly.comSpecial thanks to C-Squared Music and Marketing for setting up this interview.This video's #gcshoutout → Smokeborn Blasphemyhttps://www.instagram.com/smokebornblasphemy/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#Nailbomb #IgorCavalera #MaxCavalera #Soulfly #Incite #PigDestroyer #IndustrialMetal #ThrashMetal

  PODCAST: Episode 1037 - Anatomy of Habit on "Paired Sentinels" and the Genre-Resistant Sound Nobody Else Is Making 31.08.2026 32min

  Chris Elliott  (Cell Arts Media  @Black-Angeles ) caught up with Mark Solotroff, vocalist and analog synth player for Chicago's Anatomy of Habit, to discuss the band's fifth full-length album, "Paired Sentinels," self-released and available on LP, CD, cassette, and digital. Mark breaks down the album's four expansive compositions, the themes of repetition, memory, identity, and emotional erosion that run through the record, and what it means to reach this level of internal chemistry with the band's longest-running lineup. "Paired Sentinels" was recorded and mixed by Sanford Parker, marking the band's fourth collaboration with the renowned producer, and mastered by Collin Jordan. The LP version includes an exclusive bonus seven-inch featuring two instrumental tracks created by Solotroff from practice space recordings, not available on any other format. Cover art features Untitled (Sedlec Ossuary)(2022) by artist Jeff Gibson, with visual presentation by longtime collaborator Jonathan Canady.Since its formation in 2008, Anatomy of Habit has carved out a singular space at the intersection of post-punk, doom metal, early industrial, noise rock, and shoegaze. "Paired Sentinels" is their most cohesive and most vulnerable record to date.Buy the album here: https://anatomyofhabit.bandcamp.com/album/paired-sentinelsSpecial thanks to Earsplit PR for setting up this interview.This video's #gcshoutout → Blandadhttps://www.instagram.com/blandad_band/The Usual Suspects:Interview by Chris Elliotthttps://linktr.ee/c.ellartsEditing 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

  PODCAST: Episode 1032 - Exumer's Mem V. Stein on "Death Mask Messiah," Waco, and German Thrash's Renaissance 24.08.2026 25min

  Chris Elliott caught up with Mem V. Stein of veteran German thrash institution Exumer to discuss the band's new studio album "Death Mask Messiah," set for release on August 28, 2026, through  Metal Blade Records, their first new full-length in seven years. Mem breaks down the album's politically charged conceptual framework, drawing on US politics of the last decade, the pandemic, the weaponization of misinformation, and the thirtieth anniversary of the Waco standoff with the Branch Davidians, which inspired the track "Allocated Savagery.""Death Mask Messiah" was produced by Dominic Paraskevopoulos, known for his work with Kreator and Caliban, and mixed and mastered by Arthur Rizk, whose credits include Soulfly and King Diamond. The eleven-track record also marks the first Exumer LP recorded with drummer Jerome Reil and bassist Alex Voss, and features Nasty Ronnie Galletti of Nasty Savage on a cover of his band's track "Unchained Angel," completing a full-circle moment dating back to the two bands' shared 1988 European tour.Buy "Death Mask Messiah" and find more info here:https://www.metalblade.com/exumerSpecial thanks to Earsplit PR for setting up this interview.This video's #gcshoutout → Suicide Cageshttps://www.instagram.com/suicidecages/The Usual Suspects:Interview by Chris Elliotthttps://linktr.ee/c.ellartsEditing by Omar Cordyhttps://www.instagram.com/ojcpicsTheme music by Salted Woundshttps://www.instagram.com/saltedwoundsnyc Check out our linktree - updated daily with top stories: https://linktr.ee/ghostcultmag#Exumer #DeathMaskMessiah #MemVStein #MetalBladeRecords #ThrashMetal #GermanThrash #NastySavage
