Erika Osterhout joins Iblis Manifestations to talk Nephasto, Scolex, Cthonic Deity, and starting death metal later than everyone told her she could.
In this episode, Erika breaks down the Nephasto EP with Luana Dametto of Crypta. remote writing, one rehearsal, then tracking in Philly, and why a full length only happens if they can play the songs together first. She also covers growing up in Southern California, moving to Oakland, being told she was too uncoordinated to play, learning bass from Sean McGrath, first vocals on the Scolex mini LP, and writing Cthonic Deity lyrics from horror films, notebooks, and even the artwork.
Full episode now available to watch on YouTube.
