"I found myself preoccupied by death." Meet Ante-Inferno, the British band bringing black metal to the seaside

Feb 8, 2025 | loudersound.com | Perran Helyes

Scarborough, one of Britain’s original seaside resorts, does not fit the mental image of a hub for black metal in the UK. Far from the Fens of East Anglia that birthed, well, Fen, or the Peak District where Winterfylleth snap their album covers, Scarborough has nonetheless played host to an influx of kvlt visitors in recent years.

"My first concert was The Black Crowes, but my second was ZZ Top. That would've been the cooler answer!" Brat's Liz Selfish: 10 Records That Changed My Life

Jan 16, 2025 | loudersound.com | Perran Helyes

You should never, as the saying goes, judge a book by its cover. New Orleans sludge newcomers Brat might be pretty in pink in their press pics, but the second you hear the wail of feedback and a bark of feral viciousness, you know you're in the same familiar mires that spawned the likes of Eyehategod and Crowbar. We caught up with vocalist Liz Selfish to find out what records make her tick - these are her picks. 1.

"I'm talking about people doing some despicable stuff...I’m also talking about my first ex-wife." Nile leader Karl Sanders on the fun of the 80s, being a black belt badass and how to stay authentic while writing death metal about ancient Egypt

Nov 10, 2024 | loudersound.com | Perran Helyes

Karl Sanders is the resident mummy master of metal.
