Sadomassacre Interview

 

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the solo project?

1. I conceived of this project earlier this year, and put a demo together in June. The idea was to be straight to the point, old school, and DIY. I wanted to make short, simple tracks that would be enjoyable to make and give off a don't-give-a-fuck attitude.


2.So far you have released a demo, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?

2. It's basically a mix of black metal and punk, styles i really enjoy and find fun to make.


3.Some of your lyrics cover occult themes, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in the dark arts?

3. I've always found that stuff fascinating, as does basically everyone involved in this style of music. I'm not an expert on the occult or demonic to be honest. But it always evokes something nothing else can. 



4.What are some of the other lyrical topics and subjects you have explored so far with the music?

4. The lyrics aren't very complex and aren't really discernable in the music, mostly they're about satanic stuff, violence, alchohol, and fucking.


5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Sadomassacre'?

5. It's pretty self explanatory i think.


6.With this project you record everything by yourself, are you open to working with other musicians or do you prefer to work solo?

6. I'm not really sure yet with this project. At the moment I'm more than happy doing everything myself, but who knows what will happen in the future. 


7.So far very little is  known about the musical project other than the bandcamp page, do you prefer to maintain a lower profile?

7. I didn't want to fuck around with social media and shit with this project, it's supposed to be old school, the magic would be taken away if i was posting stuff on instagram or whatever. I always think it's funny when bands try and present themselves as being esoteric and elitist then have pages on every social media, have all their music on all the streaming services, ETC. Nothing wrong with doing that in itself but it feels like a non sequitur to me.


8.Currentlyyou are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?

8. I've been sending it to some small labels, but this project is for the underground, I definitely do not want involvment of any major labels (not that i'm delusional enough to think fucking nuclear blast or some shit would have the remotest interest in this lo-fi messy shit though haha)


9.Do you have any experience working with other bands or musical projects?

9. Yes, I've always been releasing music since I was about 15. I've made a lot of music by myself and I've been in a couple of bands. I'm the drummer in a sludge metal band called Bullhead, and in the past i've had a couple of solo projects making black metal and ambient music. 


10.When can we expect a full length and also where do you see yourself heading into as a musician during the future?

10. I have no idea. Probably never to be honest. Right now I just want to make demo tapes and hopefully release a split or two with some like minded bands. It's just suppoed to be DIY noise. nothing as polished as a full length album is planned any time soon. 


11.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

11. For Sadomassacre in particular, it's mostly influenced by Bathory, Abigail, Barbatos, Sarcofago, Blasphemy, early Sigh, and punk like GG Allin and Bad Brains. Lately i've been listening to those bands i just listed, as well as tons more 90s black metal, and a couple of newer bands with an old school style. I do listen to a lot of styles of music but the last few months I've been completely possessed by metal and had no time for anything else. 


12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

12. Cheers for the questions! Keep the flame of underground metal burning.

Sadomassacre/Demo 2022 Review

 


  Sadomassacre  are  a  musical  project  from  the  United  Kingdom  that  plays  a  raw  and  old  school  mixture  of  black,  thrash  metal  and  punk  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2022  demo.


  A  very  dark  yet  distorted  sound  starts  off  the  demo  while  also  introducing  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  onto  the  recording.  Keyboards  can  also  be  heard  briefly  before  going  into  a  very  fast  and  raw  musical  direction  which  also  utilizes  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats  which  also  gives  the  music  more  of  a  raw  feeling.


  Most  of  the  music  is  also  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  90's  era  while  all  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  short  in  length.  at  times  the  songs  also  capture  the  raw  energy  of  punk  rock  as  well  as  mixing  in  elements  of  thrash  metal  along  with  some  of  the  riffing  also  adding  in  a  small  amount  of  dark  sounding  melodies,  all  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.,  most  of  the  demo  also  sticks  to  a  faster  direction  and  only  a  small  amount  of  sow  or  mid  tempo  directions  can  be  heard.


  Sadomassacre  plays  a  musical  style  that  takes  a  very  raw  and  old  school  form  of  black  metal  and  mixes  it  with  punk  and  thrash  metal  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  darkness,  death,  occultism,  sex  and  alcohol  themes.      


  In  my  opinion  Sadomassacre  are  a  very  great  sounding  raw  and  old  school  mixture  of  black,  thrash  metal  and  punk  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  musical  project.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Caverns"  "Asmodeus  Torture"  "Cult  Slaughter"  and  "Medusa;s  Cries".  8  out  of  10.
