About the podcast
Traces of Sorcery is a monthly radio show on Sphere Radio, a moderated descent into black metal and its shadowed fringes, where blackened punk and death doom dwell.
The show moves through textures and ritualistic atmospheres, favoring immersion over exposition. Episodes are threaded with original ambient works and field recordings, extracted from shadowed spaces, ephemeral echoes and the edges of perception.

Show notes
The fourth episode of Traces of Sorcery follows Pit Iskariot aka Doctor Sargnagel into the depths of francophone black metal: from a storm on the Atlantic to besieged Québec, from medieval battlefields through Metz, Strasbourg and a strange Parisian circus, all the way to the stars. Sargnagel never returned. Scarlett Churchburner reads the letter he left behind.
The cover art is based on Hans Holbein the Younger’s Les simulachres & historiées faces de la mort (Lyon, 1538).

The cover art is based on a painting by Katja Ulbrich.
