Katy Irizarry makes her fourth appearance on Into The Necrosphere, and true to our tradition, we hold nothing back as we set the world to rights. We delve into the influence of AI in music, the chaotic state of today's politics, and much more. Katy also provides an exciting update on the rapid expansion of Suspiria PR, and we offer a sneak peek into the panel she will be moderating, which I am proud to be a part of, at the upcoming Inferno Festival at the end of this month.PLUS on this week’s news rant:- Civerous, Misotheist, Lhaad, Benighted and Coffins spew pure fire with their latest singles- Blake Ibanez of Power Trip lands himself in a spot of bother with NYC’s local cancel mob- Transcending Obscurity strikes gold yet again with Malconfort▶️SUPPORT THE BANDS FEATURED ON THIS EPISODEConvulsing https://convulsing.bandcamp.comMotorheadhttps://imotorhead.com/ Azayahttps://azzaya.bandcamp.com/ ▶️SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST https://youtube.com/c/IntoTheNecrosphere ▶️STREAM & DOWNLOADAmazon Musichttps://amzn.to/3epNJ4KSpotifyhttps://spoti.fi/3iKqbIPApple Podcastshttps://apple.co/38wDYhi ▶️SOCIAL MEDIAFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/intothenecrosphere Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/intothenecrosphere Twitterhttps://twitter.com/inecrosphere ▶️INTO THE NECROSPHERE MERCHhttps://into-the-necrosphere.creator-spring.com▶️THE HORSEMEN OF THE PODCASTING APOCALYPSE Horrorwolf666https://thehorrorwolf666podcast.buzzsprout.com/ Everything Went Blackhttps://everythingwentblack.podbean.com/ Necromaniacshttps://necromaniacs.podbean.com/ Sol Noxhttps://www.solnoxpodcast.podbean.com/ Iblis Manifestationshttps://linktr.ee/iblismanifestationspodcast
