  • The Sonic Symphonic Podcast: Episode 21 - l0rd kha0s: ’One Nation, Over Satan’
    2023/07/27

    WHAT AN EP!!! I loved this foray into blackened death metal reminiscent of early Borgir and Shylmagoghnar amongst others. The intro is scenic, the title track RELENTLESS and 'Perpetual Winter' unexpectedly took me on a quite the emotional journey and as if that wasnt enough; a translated to English version of Dodsmarj TiIl Helvette seals the deal and underlines the level of muscial, lyrical and linguistic talents of this one-man-propelled-project from  @l0rdkha0s78 .

    The EP is currently available on bandcamp and it can also be found as custom DLC for the game "Rocksmith".

    Ben Sebastian's 'Kalasin' series is a demonstrative outpouring of the extremes of epic symphonic and maniacally progressive metal musicality as in each instalment he unleashes his latest vivid instrumental, filmic, and mind-bending creations pushing each release to its absolute limitation. Each track is a journey in its own right, a navigation through seething sound-sphere seas whose tides seek to push, pull, unite, divide, ameliorate and obliterate the expectations of the listener. As if penned by a quill whose ink is dipped in the well of madness; Ben writes with fight, fervour and fever, yet is untiring in his desire to always be dynamically prolific in his dramatic proliferations. He is also curator of The Sonic Symphonic Podcast; an outlet for unsigned metal artists to get heard along with imaginative real-life story-telling and colourful interviews - all immersed in his philosophical mission to promote and engender musicians to invest in the furtherance of their own unique talents above all else as a mechanism for overcoming, and surpassing, the frailty of personal mental health and the general vicissitudes of life.
