Deeper Vileness/Shadows Of Medieval Torment/Funeral Silence Productions/2018 EP Review


  Deeper  Vileness  are  a  duo  from  Texas  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  and  on  this  recording  plays  a  mixture  of  occult  black  metal  and  dark  ambient  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2018 ep  "Shadows  Of  Medieval  Torment"  which  was  released  by  Funeral  Silence  Productions.

  A  very  dark  and  heavy  sound  starts  off  the  ep  along  with  some  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  a  few  seconds  later  while  the  music  also  brings  in  a  great  amount  of  90's  influences  along  with  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  using  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats  which  also  gives  the  music  more  of  a  raw  feeling.

  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  while  the  keyboards  bring  in  a  mixture  of  horror  movie  music  and  dark  ambient  along  with  the  music  also  having  its  atmospheric  moments  and  they  also  bring  in  an  instrumental  before  closing  the  ep  with  a  heavier  track  which  also  introduces  melodic  riffing  onto  the  recording.

  On  this  recording  Deeper  Vileness  plays  a  style  of  occult  black  metal  that  is  very  raw  and  old  school  sounding  while  still  bringing  in  some  of  the  dark  ambient  elements  of  previous  releases,  the  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  Occultism,  Demonology,  Left  Hand  Path  and  Darkness  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Deeper  Vileness  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  raw  occult  black  metal  with  some  ambient  elements,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Daemonolatria'  and  "Kingdom  Of  Ruin".  8/5  out  of  10.

Deeper Vileness/Daemonolatria/Cvlminis/2016 Full Length Review





  Deeper  Vileness  are  a  band  from  Texas  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  and  plays  a  musical  style  that  they  refer  to  as  'necro  dungeon'  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2016  album  "Daemonolatria  which  was  released  by  Cvlminis.

  A  very  dark  and  ritualistic  synth  starts  off  the  album  and  after  a  couple  of  minutes  the  music  gets  heavier  and  goes  into  more  of  a  fast  and  raw  black  metal  direction w hich  also  uses  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats  as  well  as  introducing  grim  yet  high  pitched  screams  onto  the  recording.

  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  hear  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  the  ritualistic  elements  are  a  very  huge  part  of  the  songs  that  they  are  utilized  on  along  with  the  synths  also  bringing  in traces  of  ambient  music  along  with  a  couple  of  tracks  being  dungeon  synth  instrumental  while  the  music  is  still  mostly  rooted  in  the  second  wave  style  of  black  metal  and  a  later  song  also  introduces  clean  guitars  briefly  before returning  back  to  a  heavier  style.

  Deeper  Vileness  creates  a  recording   that  takes  the  raw  and  necro  black  metal  style  of  the  previous  recording  and  expands  on  it  by  making  the  music  more  ritualistic  and  adding  in  elements  of  ambient  and  dungeon  synth  to  create  something  very  original,  the  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  Darkness,  Occultism  and  Left  Hand  Path  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Deeper  Vileness  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  raw  and  necro  black  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Sacrifice  Upon  The  Altar  Of  Infernal  Mysteries"  "Death's  Embrace"  and  "Shrieks  From  the  Dungeon".  8  out  of  10.

Deeper Vileness Interview


1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?
1. DV is now a one man band , making raw and ambient music. I originally came up with the idea for Deeper Vileness in the end of 2012 while I was still in highschool , I've always been into a variety of music, but the band that changed my view on music the most was Burzum, following Vikerness words of Advice I aim my music to please myself and not other people , The main influences for the band at this point in time are Burzum, and Sodom.

2.Recently you have released a demo, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording?
2. The music I wrote under the influence of Sodoms early Work, Burzums early work and various raw bands that have balls like Necrofrost, I was more concerned with putting out music rather than how it sounds, in my view demo's should be raw slabs of evil in metal music. Not overproduced bullshit made with the same programs rappers use to make beats.

3.According to the fb page you prefer to label your music style as 'necro metal', can you tell us a little bit more about this term?
3. The Term Necro-Metal I came up with after watching the documentary Until The Light Takes Us, where Varg describes his sound as "necro sound or corpse like" , I thought it fit the sound well , as Black Metal its self is now run by Rich european kids with good production and rich parents, I've been poor since day one, I've lost many friends in my quest to give everything for music.

4.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
4. Well, I like fantasy and occult type lyrics, While writing the lyrics which I have not published I was reading H.P. Lovecraft, John Dee, Crowley, and Robert E. Howard , A lot of black metal bands have Tolkien influence in their work, I wanted to be different and focus more on Purgatory , Fantasy worlds such as that in Conan or Kull , real swords and sorcery type stuff, I'm also very obssessed with Medieval times.

5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Deeper Vileness'?
5. Deeper Vileness describes the music I want to make, Dark Music. I honestly ripped the name off from a close friends facebook acount, his url was set to /thedeepervileness ,  it was a tough time in my life as I had just dropped out of highschool , and he had gotten arrested so I had no close friends at that point, so when I saw those words I immediately knew it would make a good band name. As it turns out there is a band who has a song named the deeper vileness , this I did not know at the time.

6.So far this band has been a studio project, are there any plans in the future to expand the line up and do any live shows?
6. I was never able to find any members, Everyone locally is too busy jacking off to deathcore and shit like that. Not that I would want my band to even be associated with this area. Basketball shorts, disco lights, and drum machines, the fuck is that bullshit? the one other member who was going to be in  the group is in jail for stabbing some guy in the face.
We were going to play a show once but the band "lending" us their equipment bitched the fuck out  , the song was Bite it you scum by G.G. allin , Also I personally am banned from playing any local venues for starting too many fights with people. I'd also prefer to remain a solo project, no one can really be depended on.

7.You have a couple of former members incarcerated, what kind of effect has this had on the music and also would you work with these musicians again after they finish their jail sentences and also has this created any controversy for the band?
7. It made me a lot more determined to make music, the other member in jail "Gutsfuk" was one crazy guy, We used to visit graveyards, drive around shouting obscenities at random people, we even got shot at from 10 feet away once just for walking around at night dressed how we do. This has not really affected me musically, my music used to be way angrier to be honest, now it's just very meloncholy. I have no idea when this guy will get out of jail, but when he does I'm going to sign his shit, I lost the recordings we had but it was intense music, if you were to combine Nirvanas angry music with GG allin, thats what it would sound like, people would probably call it black metal but it was straight Noise/punk music. It has caused a bit of controversy locally, but everyone locally just likes to stand around drinking beer and talking shit.  If you aren't 100% evil you have no business making Evil fucking music, all the little wank stain fucks that like to sit at home and wear nice little suits when they arent pretending to be black metal need to fuck off. This isn't some weekend hobby for kids , and people need to start realizing that.

8.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?
8. We'll if it is offerred maybe, I hold myself in high regard I would rather self release then be some petty labels Bitch. The labels I have talked to say the music is shit and people will have no interest, Peaceville said the same of Darkthrone and look at them! A lot of people are going to feel very stupid when the debut album comes out.

9.Where do you see yourself heading into as a musician in the future?
9. More Ambient, fuller Distorted atmospheric sounding I suppose. Or I'll probably be dead before releasing anything else.

10.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?
10. Burzum changed my life , I hold Vikernes in High regard. Also Tom Angelripper of Sodom, the early shit is raw. Although in ideas I come up with in the more ambient sense, I would say probably classical music, I was at one point training to be a concert pianist but I have a shit sense of timing and I was an antisocial wreck. I've been listening to a lot more classical, darkwave, and punk music. Stuff like christian death, GG allin, soft cell, sisters of mercy, and some judas priest thrown in there...

11.How would you describe your views on Occultism?
11. It's too much to get into with Occultism, Mainly a great amount of metalheads are attracted to it for some reason, but the people that would know the most about the occult would be people like Doctors, lawyers, College proffessors ,people in High standing places, Obviously  brilliant people, If you look into Occultism, all the original Occultists were also scientists, mathmeticians, and astrologists, it is a lot of studying.

12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
12. Wake me up before you go go , don't leave me hanging on just like a yo yo.....

Deeper Vileness/Of Darker Realms/2015 Demo Review


  Deeper  Vileness  are  a  musical  project  from  Harlingen, Texas  that  plays  a  very  raw  and  necro  form  of  black  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  2015  demo  "Of  Darker  Realms".

  A  very  dark  and  evil  sounding  organ  starts  off  the  demo  and  after  the  intro  the  music  has  an  even  more  haunting  atmosphere  which  leads  up  to  a  very  raw  and  lo-fi  black  metal  sound  that  also  uses  high  pitched  screams  and  noisy  reverb  along  with  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.

  You  can  hear  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats  being  utilized  in  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  and  you  can  hear  the  early  90's  garage  like  quality  of  the  demos  that  where  released  back  then  in  the  bands  musical  style  and  you  can  also  hear  a  small  amount  of  ritualistic  chanting  being  used  on  one  of  the  tracks  and  the  vocals  at  times  also  add  more  of  a  grim  feeling  to  the  songs  and  there  is  also  a  brief  instrumental  track  that  gives  the  music  more  of  an  ambient  feeling  and  they  close  the  ep  with  an  organ  outro.

  Deeper  Vileness  plays  a  style  of  black  metal  that  is  very  dark,  raw  and  lo-fi  and  has  a  sound  that  would  be  too  underground  for  a  lot  of  people  that  are  into  the  more  well  known  bands  of  the  genre  but  would  appeal  to  people  that  prefer  the  side  of  the  genre  that  most  people  would  consider  listenable,  the  production  sounds  very  dark,  raw  and  necro  while  the  lyrics  cover  darkness  and  occultism  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Deeper  Vileness  are  a  very  great  sounding  lo-fi,  raw  black  metal  project  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  demo.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Of  Darker  Realms"  and  "Where  Evil  Dwells".  8  out  of  10.
