Alright, let me tell you about something I've been living and breathing for a long time now. If you've ever listened to my podcast, The Rock and Roll Twilight Zone, you know I've always believed there's more going on in rock history than chart positions and gold records. There are shadows, patterns, strange turns of fate that don't quite add up. Well now, I've pulled it all together in my new book, Tales from the Rock and Roll Twilight Zone, Eerie Enigmas and Supernatural Secrets from Rock's Darkest Corners. This isn't just a music book, it's a journey into the unexplained, mysterious deaths, whispered conspiracies, cursed chords, and moments where the veil between this world and something else feels paper thin. It's based on years of research and conversations from the podcast, but expanded, deepened, and taken further than I've ever gone before. The book publishes July 9th, 2026, but you can pre-order right now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or directly from my publisher, Trine Day. For all the details, just head over to therockandrolltwilightzone.com.
If you love rock and roll and you suspect the story didn't end when the music stopped, this book is for you.

The amazing thing, and this is going to be a shocker, I'll go ahead and give you a name of someone who I think could really fit the bill. And they've been talked about big time in the news, especially recently.

Richard Syrett's Strange Planet. Following the truth wherever it leads. Exposing evil and corruption, and the secret machinations of powerful elites. Revealing the highest strangeness beneath the surface of our supposed reality. Coming to you from the Great White North, and his studio beneath the stairs.
Here's Richard.
**Richard Syrett** (3:01)
Hey, welcome to Strange Planet. Most people think they know what the Antichrist will look like. A ruthless dictator, a military strongman, a godless tyrant marching across the world stage with evil written all over his face. But what if that's exactly why we'll miss him?
What if the greatest deception in human history doesn't arrive wrapped in darkness but bathed in light? What if the man's scripture warns us about doesn't promise war but peace? Doesn't attack religion but embraces it? Doesn't persecute believers but inspires them? My guest is Mark Biltz, and in his provocative new book, The Final Tyrant, Unmasking the Antichrist and His Last-Days Agenda, he argues that generations of Christians may have misunderstood some of the Bible's most important prophetic warnings. Drawing on biblical patterns, the mysterious significance of 666, and the surprising connection between King Solomon and the coming Antichrist, Biltz contends that the Ultimate Tyrant will not seize power through fear alone. He'll be welcomed, celebrated, trusted, perhaps even loved. And that's what makes him so dangerous. As wars rage, global tensions rise, and calls for peace grow louder across the world, Mark Biltz warns that the greatest threat may not be recognizing evil when it appears frightening, but recognizing it when it appears righteous.
Mark, welcome back to Strange Planet. How are you?
**Mark Biltz** (4:32)
Oh, great. I so love being on your program. It's great.

What do we know from either Daniel or Revelation? What does it say specifically about the Antichrist?
**Mark Biltz** (4:44)
You know, that's interesting that you said that most people do not realize there's over 600 verses from the Old Testament that are referred to in the Book of Revelation.
And if you don't know the comparison of all the verses in Revelation that are referring back to these 600-some verses, how in the world would you ever understand it? But it's because the church has disconnected the Old Testament so much, that's why they don't know where the answers are.
**Richard Syrett** (5:15)
Six hundred verses, really? I had no idea.
