Episode 144 – V. Santura

Victor Bullok, better known as V. Santura, is the guitarist for the Swiss band Triptykon and was a long-time member of the now-defunct German black metal band Dark Fortress.

In addition, he runs Woodshed Studio in Landshut, Germany.

In this episode, we dive into the recent Celtic Frost tribute sets performed by Triptykon, the legacy of Dark Fortress, the role and implications of AI in music, art vs a "product", questions of legitimacy within black metal, and much more.

Special thanks to Kathy Lenze for facilitating this conversation.

Iblis Manifestations

Weekly podcasts featuring guests and solo episodes, with heavy focus on observations and discussions of life and its mysteries, as well as music, discipline and mindset.


One of the mail goals of this podcast is to increase our understanding of the nature of the universe and the divine.


It focuses on all and any topics of discussion that helps further this understanding and is not limited to one point of view or perspective.


The subjects are often free and detached from the limitations of organised religion and modern taboo thinking, and rather viewed from a point of curiosity and exploration.


Powered by Black and Heavy Metal.


About the host:


Shayan is a musician and fitness coach, born in Tehran, Iran, post the Islamic Revolution. He is best known as the Frontman and Guitarist of the Black Death Metal band, Trivax.


The band was originally formed in Tehran back in 2009. For the first few years, there were many clashes and threatening situations with the authorities and the strong uphold of Islamic laws in the country, as they prohibit many cultural forms of expression by ways of legal punishment, which include performing Metal music.


Shayan relocated to the United Kingdom later and reformed Trivax with a new line-up and they have been actively performing live and exercising their freedom of speech since.


On a personal level, he is best described as a fitness fanatic, paranormal inquisitor, spiritual explorer, psychedelic adventurer (ex), as well as a Rock n Roll/Extreme Metal connoisseur.
