AKERCOCKE @ FORTRESS 2026: Choronzon Revisited & The Possibility Of New Material | ITN EP319

This week I'm joined by Jason Mendonca, David Gray and Sam Loynes from Akercocke at the Fortress Forum, part of Fortress Festival 2026, to reflect on their seminal 2003 masterpiece, Choronzon. The band reveal lesser-known stories from the making of the album, discuss its enduring legacy, and share their thoughts on how both the metal scene and wider culture have changed since its release. I also ask about the possibility of new material, and the band takes questions from the audience.

On the Weekly News Rant, Dan Barkasi of No Clean Singing joins me to round up the latest singles from Psycroptic, Seven Chains, Flykt, Witches Hammer and more for judgment. Dan also shares his experience of Fortress Festival 2026 as we discuss our standout performances of the weekend and the bands we'd most like to see added to the line-up in 2027.

PLUS: Wyrdstaef unleash "Great Migrations", the first single from their forthcoming debut album, Primordial Bloodlines.
