Death Angel's Shadow Part One

About this episode

The episode discusses Karl Edward Wagner's dark fantasy anti-hero Kane and his story in the collection Death Angel's Shadow, along with updates on Dave's band SÖNUS.

Dave is back in Derry & Toms as we finally turn our attention to Karl Edward Wagner and his towering dark fantasy anti-hero... Kane! We've been talking about doing some KEW for a while now, so what better time than a grim, miserable Yorkshire winter to tackle a chilly werewolf whodunnit. The story, Reflections for the Winter of My Soul, is the first of three in the collection Death Angel's Shadow, and we'll be back at some point in the future to look at the other two. As KEW also wrote an Elric/Kane crossover story called The Gothic Touch, we took a look at that too. Dave's band SÖNUS will release the first single from their new album on 14th February - Pagan Woman - and in the meantime you can join the countdown to the video and pre-save the single. New album Planes of Torment will follow in May and we'll keep you up to date on that too.
