Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel met up with the members of Lunar Chamber - "They, Who May Not Be Perceived," "Timeworn Nexus," and "Æther Lotus" - to talk about their debut EP "Shambhallic Vibrations" and their esoteric - and the word absolutely applies here - approach to death metal.

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel, joined by An Evening Redness's Brandon Elkins, sat down with Khanate members Alan Dubin and James Plotkin to talk through the band's surprise-released newest album.

Invisible Oranges editors Jon Rosenthal and Ted Nubel, joined by Musk Ox's Nathanael Larochette, talk to Tenhi members Tyko and Ilmari about the intricacies of the creative process, the inner workings of Tenhi's discography, and why it took over ten years for this Finnish band to release the followup to 2011's Saivo.

Invisible Oranges editors Jon and Ted, joined by Ben Smasher, talk with Majesties about their recent album "Vast Reaches Unclaimed." The band, comprised of Carl Skildum and Matthew Kirkwold (both of Antiverse and Inexorum) and Tanner Anderson (Celestial, Obsequiae), plus new drummer John Kerr, are keenly interested in melodic death metal's earliest iterations, and that passion inspired a record which brings that past to new, vivid life.

Enlisting Doldrum and Erraunt multi-instrumentalist Oneiric (aka Ben D.) and our friend Ben Smasher, Invisible Oranges spoke with the sole remaining founding member of Dødheimsgard, Vicotnik–also of Ved Buens Ende and Dold Vorde Ens Navn. We discussed their upcoming record "Black Medium Current," which represents yet another leap forward for the adventurous band, as well as their past history–notably Vicotnik's experience in Norway's burgeoning early '90s black metal scene.

Writers Jon Rosenthal and Brandon Corsair sat down with Blood Incantation members Jeff Barrett, Isaac Faulk, and Paul Riedl to discuss the band's new album "Timewave Zero," which sees them eschewing death metal entirely in favor of a cinematic ambient, synth-driven release. To Blood Incantation, though, it all falls under the greater banner of 'cosmic music for cosmic people.' Learn about the album's genesis and what went into making it here.

Editor Jon Rosenthal sat down with John Haughm, Don Anderson, and Jason William Walton to discuss Agalloch's first EP, "Of Stone, Wind, and Pillor."
