DOWN WITH THE MOST HIGH PRODUCTIONS: INTERVIEWED BY INTO THE NECROSPHERE

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Record and merch label DOWN WITH THE MOST HIGH PRODUCTIONS was recently interviewed by INTO THE NECROSPHERE.

FROM INTO THE NECROSPHERE:

This week I’m joined by Daniel Rabadán Gayoso, the man behind Down With The Most High Productions. What started in 2008 as a DIY merchandise and record label has evolved into something far more ambitious, combining extreme metal, craftsmanship, art and an uncompromising commitment to doing things properly, with the spectacular Celtic Frost, Emperor and Marduk collections being perhaps the ultimate expression of that philosophy. Daniel and I get into the origins of Down With The Most High, his decision to resurrect the label and take it full-time, the years of work that went into the Celtic Frost project, and why preserving the spirit and legacy of extreme metal means refusing to compromise. 

Then it’s time for another news rant, and this week I’m rounding up the latest singles by OVÁTE, Armagedda (Official), Werewolves, Mother of Graves, Servant, Konvent and others for judgement.  I also talk about some of my favourite black metal songs recorded after 2020, I scour Slayer’s post-Diabolos back catalogue in the hopes of finding something worth listening to and it all culminates in a savage Swirly of the Week, as Slipknot and their maggots pay a visit to the Porcelain Bowl of Reckoning. 

Plus: Australian black metallers, Duskveiled soak up the glory of the Unsanctioned Filth spotlight with a track from their debut record, Winters of the Soul.  

Out now on all digital platforms.

OBSCURA: "We are issuing this statement to provide clarity to our fans, business partners, promoters, media representatives and the wider OBSCURA community regarding a number of legal matters."

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 15:28:57 +0000

German technical death metal warriors OBSCURA have announced legal proceedings will commence vs. publications that posted defamatory content about the band.

OBSCURA have announced FALL 2026 MEXICAN TOUR DATES WITH ABYSMAL DAWN, THULCANDRA and ORION RISE.

OBSCURA have posted a video for "STARDUST", a track from the bands anticipated new release "A SONICATION", unleashed 2/7/2025 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.

OBSCURA have posted a video for "IN SOLITUDE", a track from the bands anticipated new release "A SONICATION", unleashed 2/7/2025 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.

OBSCURA unleashed "A VALEDICTION", 11/19/2021 via NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.

THULCANDRA, via SPOTIFY, are streaming the bands anticipated new release "HAIL THE ABYSS", unleashed 5/19/2023 via NAPALM RECORDS.

FROM OBSCURA:

OFFICIAL STATEMENT – LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are issuing this statement to provide clarity to our fans, business partners, promoters, media representatives and the wider OBSCURA community regarding a number of legal matters.

Since February 2026, criminal complaints and applications for prosecution have been filed in Germany concerning several individuals in connection with publications and conduct which we consider to contain defamatory, insulting, factually inaccurate or otherwise potentially unlawful content.

In parallel, civil legal steps are also being pursued in relation to the losses and other legal claims arising from these matters.

For the avoidance of doubt, these matters do not concern a single incident. The material submitted to the relevant authorities relates to publications and conduct dating from 2015 to the present day, including disputed factual allegations concerning OBSCURA and its members, copyright and intellectual property matters, the publication of personal information, and other conduct which we have asked the competent authorities to examine under German law.

The consequences have extended beyond OBSCURA itself. Several international companies and professional partners have also been affected, including companies which have reported receiving threats or other forms of improper pressure in connection with these matters. Some have suffered significant financial losses and are providing relevant information and supporting documentation to the competent authorities.

The public allegations have also had practical consequences for our international activities, including significant difficulties in obtaining the necessary visas for performances in China.

We have submitted supporting documentation and relevant evidence and will continue to co-operate fully with the competent authorities.

We respectfully ask our fans, media representatives, business partners and fellow musicians not to contribute to speculation, personal attacks or further public disputes concerning these matters. We believe they should be dealt with through the established legal process.

Please do not mistake allegations published online for established facts.

We will therefore refrain from making further public statements regarding the substance of these matters whilst the relevant legal processes are ongoing.

Listen to music, not allegations.

OBSCURA

ITP V.026 SPORTS: THANK YOU HOWIE ROSE (NEW YORK METS RADIO ANNOUNCER)

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Sun, 20 Sep 2026 15:15:23 +0000

PUT IT IN THE BOOKS!

Legendary NEW YORK METS BASEBALL radio announcer HOWIE ROSE is retiring and today is his last game, on the last home game of the season for the NEW YORK METS.

HOWIE ROSE was also a radio announcer for the NEW YORK ISLANDERS and NEW YORK RANGERS hockey clubs back in the 90's.

ITP V.026 EDITORS NOTE: Here in New York we've been lucky to have great sports announcers. From MARV ALBERT, (NEW YORK KNICKS, NATIONAL ANNOUNCER), JOHN STERLING (NEW YORK YANKEES RADIO BROADCASTER-RIP),and the NEW YORK RANGERS TV ANNOUNCER SAM ROSEN.

Also current announcers MIKE BREEN and WALT CLYDE FRASIER for the NEW YORK KNICKS..

GARY (COHEN), KEITH (HERNANDEZ) and RON. (DARLING) for the NEW YORK METS.

I'll miss HOWIE ROSE's calls on the radio, he was "Amazin'". Hopefully THE NEW YORK METS and PHILADELPHIS PHILLIES can get a game in today vs. inclement weather as the game starts at 1:10pm.

FROM 7 LINE:

The Mets aren't responsible for the weather, but having this forecast on the last day of the home schedule, and on Howie's retirement day is such a bummer. Par for the course with how this season went. Still no call on the game. Hopefully soon.

DRAGONFORCE have posted a video for "SONG TITLE HERE", a track from BRAWL STARS....

DRAGONFORCE, via SPOTIFY, are streaming the bands anticipated new release "WARP SPEED WARRIORS", unleashed 3/15/2023 via NAPALM RECORDS.

FROM DRAGONFORCE:

Due to an ongoing issue with tinnitus, Marc Hudson is stepping back from DragonForce music duties for now including the forthcoming album and touring plans in 2026/2027.  In the meantime, he’ll still very much be involved with DragonForce behind the scenes, working with the band’s management on some exciting stuff you’ll start seeing later this year!

Joining us for the next chapter is our longtime friend and Marc’s former vocal coach, Alessio Garavello. He will be handing the male vocals supporting frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz. DragonForce’s forthcoming album will feature a dual-vocals format, with new songs dropping starting next week.

“For the last fifteen years, Marc has poured his heart into this band, and his voice has become such a huge part of who we are. Protecting his hearing isn’t something we’d ever ask him to compromise on. We’d much rather have him healthy and with us for the long haul than push through now and risk that. He’s still in the room with us every day, just wearing a different hat, and we wish him a speedy recovery.” - Herman Li

“When we started talking about who could step in, there was really only one name on the list. Alessio has been part of our story longer than most people realize. He helped shape Marc’s voice in the first place, so he understands these songs from the inside. But he’s not here to be anyone but himself, and he brings his own warmth and energy to everything he sings. Hearing him on the new material has lit a real spark in all of us, and we think you’re going to love him as much as we do.” - Sam Totman

FROM SINISTER:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE SINISTER NAME AND LINE-UP

Hi everyone,

I would like to briefly address the recent announcements on social media involving former Sinister members who haven't been in the band for almost 30 years. Our concern is specifically the use of the name. We believe this can create confusion for fans and promoters, giving the impression that this is an official or current incarnation of Sinister, which it is NOT.

First, let me make it clear who the original founders of the band are. In 1986, in my basement in Ridderkerk, a good friend of mine, Ron vd Polder and I started a band called REDEEMER, later on joined by Klaas Zwaving We changed our name to Sinister. Later on Corzas Nanuruw joined on bass.

Over the years, the band has gone through different line-ups, but Sinister has always remained the same band, with its own history, identity, and legacy. We fully respect the contributions that former members have made to Sinister's history and the music we created together. But that does not make someone a current member of Sinister, nor does it give them the right to represent themselves as another version of the band.

We understand that musicians may perform and celebrate music from their past. Tribute bands and former members playing songs from their history are nothing unusual in the music world.

So, it is very important to know: the name SINISTER is a registered trademark. We will take the appropriate legal steps to protect our rights and prevent unauthorized use of the name towards the other line-up and promoters booking that band. We would prefer to handle any legal or business matters privately and professionally, rather than turning them into a public dispute.

Most importantly, we want to focus our energy where it belongs: on the music, our fans, and the future of my band, with the new album coming out and live gigs our agency District19 is booking for us.

And for everyone wondering: I AM NOT DEAD. I am healthy again, feeling strong and looking forward to getting back on stage with Alesa, Stefano Rumich , and Frank Kruger to continue the story of Sinister. This line-up feels like family, and we are focusing on playing old-school sets that haven't been heard in decades.

So, REMEMBER: There is only one Sinister, and this is the real Sinister.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support us. We appreciate it more than you know. See you on stage! 

Adrie Kloosterwaard

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
