With its unholy mix of thrash speed, guttural vocals, and blasphemous themes,&nbsp;<em>Seven Churches</em>&nbsp;pushed metal into darker, heavier, and more dangerous territory. We’ll dig into its riffs, its chaotic energy, and how it influenced the rise of extreme metal that followed.</p><p>For the break, I’ve got something brand new for you —&nbsp;<strong>Heads for the Dead</strong>&nbsp;return with their chilling new single&nbsp;<strong>“Phantasmagoria”</strong>, taken from their forthcoming album&nbsp;<em>Never Ending Night of Terror</em>, due out October 10th. A perfect blend of horror and heaviness to pair with this week’s classic deep dive.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>As promised the Heads For The Dead links are here.</p><p><a href=\"https://pulverised.bandcamp.com/album/never-ending-night-of-terror\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://pulverised.bandcamp.com/album/never-ending-night-of-terror</a></p><p><br></p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRbOxi9gm-dLfLy7B-y-YDw\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRbOxi9gm-dLfLy7B-y-YDw</a></p>","author_name":"Tony Evans"}
