Ghost Cult Magazine Podcast

Tom Osman spoke with Kenny Hickey, longtime guitarist for Type O Negative, about his band Silvertomb and their sophomore album, "The Interpretation of Nightmares," out November 13, 2026, via Steamhammer. Kenny digs into the album’s recording, music theory, how the band blends heavy metal with dark doom melodies, and what's next. Silvertomb formed in Brooklyn, New York, when guitarist and vocalist Kenny Hickey teamed up with drummer Johnny Kelly. The band took its name from words in Black Sabbath’s classic track “Symptom of the Universe.” Silvertomb will celebrate the album with a 21+ record release party on Saturday, November 14, 2026, at Saint Vitus Bar in Brooklyn. Doors open at 6:00 PM EST, with support from Blood Vulture, Somnuri, and Sister Thieves.Tickets and event info: https://dice.fm/event/yoqwxp-silvertomb-blood-vulture-somnuri-sister-thieves-14th-nov-saint-vitus-new-york-city-ticketsSpecial thanks to Atomsplitter PR for setting up this interview.This video’s #gcshoutout → Crumbsnatchers https://www.instagram.com/crumbsnatchersband/ The Usual Suspects:Interview by Ghost Cult Tom Osmanhttps://www.instagram.com/tomosmansoundsEditing by Omar Cordyhttps://www.instagram.com/ojcpicsTheme music by Salted Woundshttps://www.instagram.com/saltedwoundsnycCheck out our linktree - updated daily with top stories: https://linktr.ee/ghostcultmag

Keefy sat down with Chuck Billy, iconic frontman of Bay Area thrash legends Testament, to discuss his memoir Holding My Breath: The Two Testaments of Chuck Billy, out November 10, 2026, from Permuted Press. Chuck opens up about the explosive early days of Bay Area thrash, his cancer diagnosis and survival, his Native American and Mexican-American heritage, and the legendary Thrash of the Titans benefit concert that galvanized the metal community behind him when he needed it most.Structured as two interlocking testaments, the memoir spans forty-plus years of one of heavy metal’s most enduring careers alongside a deeply personal account of mortality, recovery, cultural identity, and chosen family. Co-written with Dave Erickson, Holding My Breath features a foreword by Rob Halford of Judas Priest and an afterword by Randy Blythe of Lamb of God.Pre-order Holding My Breath here:https://chuckbillybook.com/Special thanks to Maria Ferrero at Adrenaline PR for setting up this interview.This video’s #gcshoutout → Transplants Brewinghttps://www.instagram.com/transplantsbrewing/The Usual Suspects:Interview by Ghost Cult Keefyhttps://www.instagram.com/ghostcultkeefyEditing by Omar Cordyhttps://www.instagram.com/ojcpicsTheme music by Salted Woundshttps://www.instagram.com/saltedwoundsnycCheck out our linktree - updated daily with top stories: https://linktr.ee/ghostcultmag#ChuckBilly #Testament #HoldingMyBreath #TwoTestaments #PermutedPress #ThrashMetal #BayAreaThrash #ThrashOfTheTitans #RobHalford #RandyBlythe

Tim Ledin sat down with Keziah “KZ” Staska, vocalist of  Dreamwell, to discuss the band’s third full-length "Hymns for the Denial of God," released August 28, 2026, on Prosthetic Records.
