Step inside the world of underground metal, radio, and modern music chaos in this in-depth interview on the Mike James Rock Show with Dann & Mike 🎙️
We sit down with UK black metal legends Winterfylleth to talk about their 9th studio album, the evolution of their sound over nearly 20 years, and how the music industry has completely transformed in the streaming era.
From the grind of running a long-standing radio show with millions of listeners, to breaking into podcasting, to the overwhelming flood of new music releases every week — this conversation dives deep into what it really takes to stay relevant today.
⚔️ Topics covered:
The shift from radio to podcast dominance
Building a loyal audience over 18+ years
The reality of promoting music in 2026
Writing and recording a 9th album as a band of lifelong friends
The emotional story behind the Sycamore Gap / “Robin Hood Tree” track
Balancing aggression and atmosphere in black metal
Why albums still matter in a playlist-driven world
🌲 Plus — we explore the band’s deep connection to history, folklore, and nature, and how real-world events inspired some of the most powerful moments on the new record.
🎧 If you're into metal, music culture, podcasting, or just real conversations about creativity — this is one you don’t want to miss.

New album dropping March 27 via Napalm Records
