Mycelium Signal #5: Furoris Divinales - With Naas Alcameth (2024 Remastered Version)

We're delighted to introduce our special guest from the United States, Kyle Spanswick, also known as Naas Alcameth. He's an exceptionally talented multi-instrumentalist reowned from the occult black metal bands Akhlys, Aoratos, Bestia Arcana, and Nightbringer. In our insightful conversation, we delve deep into a myriad of compelling topics, including:

- Synchronicities and the need for pragmatism to avoid the infamous ‘liminal rabbit hole.'

- Akhlys’s eagerly anticipated new album and it's themes.

- The thematic layers of Aoratos’s album, 'Gods without name'.

- The meaning behind Aoratos’s 'Parallax Pt. I and II' and 'Dread Spirit of the Place,' as well as Akhlys’s 'Pnigalion' and 'Incubo.'

- The Abject dread aspect of Genius Loci.

- Sleep paralysis and other disturbing parasomnia.

- Daimon as a ruthless Muse for the artist.

- Sacred Horror and 'Metaphysical panic'.

- The Dark Night of the Soul and harrowing transcendental experiences as means of ultimate catharsis.

To round off the episode, our previous guest, Dr. Martin Locker, graces us with a dramatic recitation of a section from Bestia Arcana’s apocalyptic 'Hellmouth' lyrics.
