Erikk Stroude Returns: Morbosidad Tour & Black Temple Album | Metal Maniacs Ep. 151

Episode 151 of Metal Maniacs hosted by Jay Ingersoll and Modd welcomes back a longtime homie and 3-time returning guest—Erikk Stroude. A producer, guitarist, and relentless drummer deeply rooted in extreme metal, Erikk lives and breathes the underground.

We tap into his journey since Episode 79 (Jan 7, 2025) and go even further back to Episode 26 with The Black Temple. A full year later, we break down everything happening now—and what’s taking priority across his growing list of projects. With Morbosidad returning from a Mexico and Colombia tour . Erikk talks about the grind, preparation, and what it means to reach this level after years of dedication. From international shows to upcoming US dates, a new split record, and the early writing stages of a new Morbosidad full-length, there’s no slowing down.

We also dive deep into: The evolution of The Black Temple and the long-awaited full-length album Belial Infernum, Mercenario, and Underground Onslaught
