This episode presents our interview with Frank Albanese - guitarist and vocalist of New Jersey's arcane progressive blackened death project, Hath. Although Hath is often described as having lyrics referencing dark souls lore, Frank discusses how this was more of a consequence of time crunch for their first release than a vision for the band. Rather, his lyrics instead more broadly draw on a wide range of fantastical and historical references, ranging from real-world mythology to the Jungian approach to alchemy, that give their music a distinctly dark and theatrical feel. Frank's lyrics are also not just inspired by existing works of fantasy and literature, as his lyrics' neologisms assist in developing lore unique to Hath's music.
