2019-04-29 : New anthology of doom interviews by Cathal Rodgers

"Existentiell ≠ Boundaries and Paradigms"

Cathal Rodgers, multi-instrumental musician with bands such as Wreck Of The Hesperus, Crypticum, Spermicidal and Wereju, presents a huge volume of music-related music and musing.

From the author's Blogger page:
"After over 2 years of work I can now offer a new anthology of interviews in Existentiell form. 402 pages of musings on consciousness, imagination, metaphor, mysticism, mythology, psyche, soul, symbolism; and how any or all of these things might be applied to modern culture in general and Heavy Metal in particular."

Recommended by Aesthetic Death:
"After 30 years of listening to extreme/underground music, this is pretty much the best publication I have ever come across - "Existentiell" - written by Cathal Rodgers in Ireland.
It features in depth interviews with bands, giving more epistemological and ontological perspectives in one page than in 100 issues of mainstream mags!"

Includes interviews with bands right across the underground spectrum from Mourning Dawn to Tyranny, Fates Warning to Striborg, and more...
