    EPISODE 121 CENTURY
    Dec 9 2025
    In this episode, I sit down with Staffan Tengner, one of the driving forces behind Century — one of the most exciting new forces in the Swedish heavy metal resurgence. Having witnessed their electrifying set live in Oslo, I reflect on that unforgettable performance and the raw, melodic power that defines Century’s sound. Together, we dive into the band’s origins, influences, and the spirit of traditional heavy metal that fuels their music. With having seen their live performance alongside Flight, Amethyst, and Helvetes Port, I can’t hide the excitement for what promises to be a monumental celebration of true metal energy. Prepare for riffs, passion, and steel — this is a conversation forged in the fires of heavy metal

    EPISODE 118 DEATHHAMMER PT. 2 FT. SADOMANCER
    Dec 9 2025

    On this blistering episode of Tales From The Riff, Moe sits down with Sadomancer, the riff-slinging force of Norway’s Deathhammer. With their unrelenting devotion to the ancient spirit of thrash and black metal, Deathhammer has carved out a cult reputation built on raw speed, unholy riffs, and a refusal to compromise.

    Sadomancer takes us deep into the origins of the band’s hell-charged sound, reflecting on their early days of channeling Bathory, Kreator, and Slayer through a basement-born fury. He shares stories of underground gigs, the band’s rabid dedication to keeping the old ways alive, and what it means to stand as torchbearers of true, violent thrash in a modern scene.

    This is an episode for die-hards of speed and darkness, and for anyone who believes the riff will never die.

  • EPISODE 117 BLOOD INCANTATION - PAUL RIEDL

    EPISODE 117 BLOOD INCANTATION - PAUL RIEDL
    Dec 9 2025
    In this episode, I sit down with Paul Riedl, guitarist, vocalist, and founding force behind the Denver death-metal collective Blood Incantation. Known for their otherworldly blend of cosmic death metal, progressive ambition, and ancient mysticism, Paul dives deep into the band’s creative vision and the philosophies that shape their sound. Listeners will hear Paul reflect on Blood Incantation’s rise from the underground to worldwide acclaim, the balance between brutality and atmosphere in their music, and the influence of outer space, Egyptian mythology, and ancient alien theory on the band’s lyrical and artistic direction. He also discusses his role in the wider Denver metal scene, the importance of analog recording, and how Blood Incantation continues to push boundaries with every release. Whether you’re a die-hard fan of Starspawn and Hidden History of the Human Race or just discovering the band’s sprawling cosmic death-metal journey, this episode offers an intimate look into the mind behind one of modern extreme metal’s most visionary acts.
