This week the legendary Chris Pervelis of Internal Bleeding lights a cigar and shares some great stories about the early days of the band. We also chat about what the future holds for Internal Bleeding, discuss how growing older has changed both of our respective attitudes to life and talk about Chris’ recently launched website, https://themetalgentleman.com. Then it’s on to my weekly news rant where I hold up Decibel’s Top 40 albums of 2023 to intense scrutiny, and give my first reactions to new tracks by Ihsahn, Madder Mortem, Judas Priest, Black Altar and more. ▶️SIGN UP TO THE AMPWALL MAILING LIST https://ampwall.com/ ▶️VISIT ‘THE METAL GENTLEMAN’ https://themetalgentleman.com/ ▶️SUPPORT THE BANDS FEATURED ON THIS EPISODE Internal Bleeding https://uniqueleaderrecords.bandcamp.com/ Pyrexia https://pyrexia.bandcamp.com/ ▶️SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST https://youtube.com/c/IntoTheNecrosphere ▶️STREAM & DOWNLOAD Amazon Music https://amzn.to/3epNJ4K Spotify https://spoti.fi/3iKqbIP Apple Podcasts https://apple.co/38wDYhi ▶️SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook https://www.facebook.com/intothenecrosphere Instagram https://www.instagram.com/intothenecrosphere Twitter https://twitter.com/inecrosphere ▶️INTO THE NECROSPHERE MERCH https://into-the-necrosphere.creator-spring.com ▶️THE HORSEMEN OF THE PODCASTING APOCALYPSE Horrorwolf666 https://thehorrorwolf666podcast.buzzsprout.com/ Everything Went Black https://everythingwentblack.podbean.com/ Necromaniacs https://necromaniacs.podbean.com/ Sol Nox https://www.solnoxpodcast.podbean.com/ Iblis Manifestations https://linktr.ee/iblismanifestationspodcast
