Attila Csihar Interview (MAYHEM) - METĀLKĀSTS LV Podcast #193

In this episode we speak with Attila Csihar of the legendary Black Metal band MAYHEM, as they perform and bring Death Over Europe in support of their latest album ''Liturgy of Death'', just days before their show in Riga, Latvia. Our conversation goes far beyond the surface. Attila reflects on the creative process behind the new record, and how the material evolves once it reaches the stage. We discuss meditation and yoga as forms of mental discipline, the role of philosophy and esoteric traditions in his life, and how ancient texts, mysticism, ideas like samsara and reincarnation continue to shape his perspective. The discussion moves through themes of consciousness, near-death experiences, the limits of perception, and the idea that black metal can be a vehicle for something deeper than aggression. Mayhem will perform live at Riga, Latvia, 25.02.2026.

Ryan Förster Interview (DEATH WORSHIP, BLASPHEMY, CONQUEROR) - METĀLKĀSTS LV Podcast #192

A conversation with Ryan Förster - from BLASPHEMY fan to member, later co-founding CONQUEROR and continuing the lineage with DEATH WORSHIP. He remains one of the defining figures behind the term "War Metal". Recorded during Death Worship’s 2026 European tour at their January 25th concert in Riga, Latvia, we discuss the origins of the "War Metal" label, the early chaos of the scene, memories tied to the infamous ROSS BAY CEMETERY, and how the shock value of the genre has evolved over time. Ryan also shares his experience of being in Israel while missiles were landing nearby - a perspective that puts the sound and its themes into a very real context. Ryan also runs the ROSS BAY CULT ETERNAL merch store and socials, that is all about War Metal, Blasphemy, Conqueror, Revenge, Death Worship and other related bands.
