Mors.Void.Discipline/Txketh)eke/Sentient Ruin Laboratories/2026 Full Length Review

 

  Mors.Void.Discipline  are  a  band  from  Chile  that  plays  a  bestial  mixture  of  war,  black,  death  metal  and  goregrind  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2026  album  "Txketh)eke"  which  will  be  released  in  march  by  Sentient  Ruin  Laboratories.

  A  very  dark  and  distorted  sound  starts  off  the  album  before  going  into  a  heavier  direction  while  the  vocals  are  mostly  bestial  growls  mixed  in  with  a  few  black  metal  screams.  All  of  the  musical  instruments  bring  in  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  and  the  songs  also  add  in  a  lot  0f  90's  era  goregrind  touches.

  When  the  music  speeds  up  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking,  war  metal  elements  and  brutal  blast b eats  can  be  heard  which  also  gives  the  recording  more  of  a  raw  feeling.  Throughout  the  album  you  can  also  hear  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  along  with  a  couple  of  tracks  also  being  very  short  in  length.

  Mors.Void,Discipline  plays  a  musical  style  that  takes  war,  bestial  black/death  metal  and  goregrind  and  mixes  them  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  Solomon's  Demonology  and  multicultural  esoteric  warfare.

  In  my  opinion  Mors.Void,Discipline  are  a  very  great  sounding  bestial  mixture  of  war,  black,  death  metal  and  goregrind  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Morde  Faciem  Cherubi"  "Calix  Bilis  Benedictae"  and  "Cultis  Abominationum  Nigrarum".  8  out  of  10.

Summoning Hellgates Interview

 

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

 New Black/Death project coming from Madrid. We know what we want to do and how to execute it, we’re not new to this. Our debut EP, Spear of Conquest, was just released through Osmose last month. 

2.Recently you have released your first full length, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording? 

Trying to describe music with words and labels never does it justice. Everyone should listen and judge for themselves. What we aim to do with Summoning Hellgates is aggressive, violent, frantic black/death with no room to breathe, and with a real sense of structure and composition. I think we’ve already achieved that with our debut (which by the way is technically an EP), but of course there’s still a lot we want to improve and develop in the future. 

3.Both of the band members are also in other bands, what is it that you bring into the music of 'Summoning Hellgates', that you have not been able to do with your other groups? 

A. García comes from a purely death metal background. His previous band SOTA DE BASTOS only released one EP (recently reissued on vinyl by Ixiol Productions), but it’s absolutely crushing. As for me, I come from a predominantly black metal background. So we’re both bringing our experience and previous knowledge to the table while also learning from each other and letting both trajectories collide to create something that feels new for both of us. Personally, it’s my first time composing and playing black/death, so in that sense it’s been a challenge. In many aspects, A. García has set the direction for the band, but I’ve shaped his ideas and pushed Spear of Conquest down the right path to become a competent and worthy debut. Most of the songs start with my riffs, and then A. García throws in his bursts of chaos to push the songs into a more frenzied, unhinged place. It’s been an extremely collaborative process, which is also new for me, as I’m used to writing almost all the music in my other bands.

 4.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music?

Most of the lyrics were written by A. García (except for Prisoner of Your Own Flesh, which we wrote together), so he’d be better suited to explain this, but since I’m answering the interview, I’ll try to give you a general overview. I’d say the lyrics are existential and introspective, written in a somewhat abstract, psychedelic and primitive tone, bordering on madness or hysteria. They mix raw and sometimes chaotic reflections about human existence, spiritual decay, identity, hatred and violence. I believe A. García wanted to maintain a certain level of mystery and abstraction, not spelling everything out too clearly, but instead planting the seed of certain ideas through specific phrases and words, leaving space for everyone to interpret. 

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

 The name is pretty self-explanatory, it’s a way of saying we’re invoking violence, destruction, the occult and the corrupt. 

6.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?

 As you can see, the cover is a direct reference to the band name. A. García and I shaped the idea of the portal after doing several sketches, and we passed on a rough but detailed concept to our friend Carla from @cardaver.art, who has a lot of experience doing illustration and acrylic painting. She materialized our vision into a truly impressive painting with incredible detail, which I now have hanging in my studio. The combination of that artwork with the logo by Mika / Unholy Designs Art is absolutely brutal. 

7.Currently there are only 2 members in the band, are you open to expanding the line up or do you prefer to remain a duo?

 We’ll probably continue as a duo. We work really well this way, and we’re not particularly interested in anyone else coming in with their ideas or tastes. SUMMONING HELLGATES is the two of us. When we bring the band to a live setting, we’ll work with competent session musicians. And who knows, maybe we’ll manage to assemble a stable live lineup at some point. That’s something we’d definitely like.

8.Can you tell us a little bit more about the masks the band members wear in the promo pics? 

Not much to say, they’re not masks, they’re balaclavas to cover the face. Just an aesthetic and artistic decision, nothing more.

 9.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black and death metal?

 People around us have responded well, and I’ve seen quite a few positive reviews online. But you’d have to ask the label about sales, that’s the real indicator of how much interest a release is generating. It’s always nice to hear good words, it helps keep you motivated. But to be honest, I don’t really care too much. I’ve been making records with different bands for years and I know when I’ve done a good job, I don’t need anyone patting me on the back. If I put something out, it’s because I believe it’s worth it. And this is the case with Spear of Conquest. I know it’s a strong release, regardless of the reaction. 

10.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

 We still need to get our shit together and sit down seriously to start working on our next release. These things are done with the guitar in hand, spending many hours. But we’ve already talked about it and we have some ideas of what we want to change and what we want to keep. Overall, we’re pretty satisfied with the sound of Spear of Conquest and we don’t plan to change it too much, we just want to refine and sharpen it for a full-length. The project is still very new and we’ve got a long road ahead and a lot of ideas to explore. 

11.What are some of the bands or musical styles the band members are currently listening to nowadays?

We’re both the kind of people who are constantly listening to new bands and new albums. We really don’t relate at all to those types who’ve been listening to the same ten records for decades. That’s just absurd to us. Personally, I could mention bands like Adversarial, Black Curse, Katharsis, Proscription, Of Feather and Bone, Azarath… In the last few days I’ve been listening to the new Perdition Temple and Abominator records. A few months back I liked the debut by Osgraef, etc. 

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

Thanks for your interest in SUMMONING HELLGATES. S. Augusto

GoatScrote Interview

 

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

GxSx is an extreme metal duo from southern Ontario Canada, going on our tenth or so year. We play primitive blackened/death metal that advocates for the abolition of (most of) the human race. Cro-Magnon pounding beats underneath heaps of distorted filth riffing using the absolute minimum number of notes.  Bile-soaked hatred chants complete the aural rituals. FFO Beherit, Blasphemy, Abysmal Lord, Beherit, Archgoat, and Beherit.  

Since 2022 you have released a good amount of material, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?

Musically, we’re always striving for a mix of primitive caveman riffs coupled with dark, oppressive atmosphere.  It’s not enough to just be brutal and extreme – anyone can put blast beats to tape – we always want to challenge ourselves to write actual riffs and passages that are heavy, menacing, and memorable.

What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored on the releases and also how would you describe your progress as songwriters over the years?

As far as song writing goes, the riffs always come first - lyrics and vocals are almost an afterthought. However, most of the lyric topics and themes revolve around seeing the vast majority of humanity as a cancer that has to be eradicated. Everyone worships, but we choose to worship war, destruction, and chaos – things that will bring about the great cull that is long overdue at this point.

What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Goatscrote'?

There honestly wasn’t a lot of thought put into the band name as it is secondary to the music and the mission itself. Obviously, there’s a nod to the history of influential ‘goat’ bands, but overall, we just wanted a name as ugly and depraved as the music we create.  

Currently there are only 2 members in the band, are you open to expanding the line up or do you prefer to remain a duo?

We had a third member, a drummer, we recruited briefly to play live – he appears on the ‘Humanity Must Be Destroyed’ tape, but overall, it wasn’t a good fit.  We’re not opposed to bringing in others but they must be like-minded soldiers fighting for the same cause.

Has the band done any live shows or open to the idea?

We’ve performed live a handful of times thus far. Maybe we’ll do more in the future, but it’s not something we actively pursue right now. 

Recently you were a part of a split with 'Pillagery', what are your thoughts on the other project that had participated on the recording?

Pillagery reached out to us initially, and normally we wouldn’t see a split as something worth doing unless the other band was offering something beyond the typical blown-out blast-fests you hear from 90% of ‘war metal’ bands. But these guys actually brought the riffs! They reminded me of some early Bathory but with the speed and chaos pumped up to the extreme. Also, in talking to them we realized that they were the kind of soldiers we could man the trenches with in the on-going war against humanity. It was a natural fit.    

 

On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of war and bestial black/death metal?

We don’t pay too much attention to reactions or reviews. Ultimately this music is for us and our cause. If it resonates with others, great, but that’s not the point of this. With that said, we’ve been fortunate to recruit a few in the scene worldwide who’ve championed us.

When can we expect another full length and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

We are always writing and recording. The next LP is essentially written. We will always strive to make the same mix of barbaric, oppressive, human-hating metal that makes a GxSx record what it is. We’ve recently tweaked the line-up, with me taking on guitars while Genital Masticator has moved to drums – this is the line-up on the new split and will likely be the configuration moving forward.  Masticator’s drumming is more primitive and chaotic than mine, so if anything, the music will only devolve further. We also plan to continue incorporating synths and other sound textures.

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?

Beherit is obviously a big inspiration, particularly the DDtM record. Beyond the other obvious classics in the genre by Blasphemy, Impurity, Sarcofago, Archgoat, etc.. we don’t listen to a huge amount of war/black metal. With that said, Abysmal Lord’s last record is a masterpiece, and definitely gets a lot of spins around here. Both Masticator and I have pretty eclectic record collections – if anything, the common thread among it all is intensity and purity of vision.  We have very low tolerance for contrived bullshit. Speaking for myself, I’m currently going down an early industrial/neofolk rabbit hole, but I don’t see this seeping into future GxSx output.

Does Satanism or Occultism play any role in your music?

Only as a stand-in or representation of the dark side of man. Spiritualism, both positive and negative, is wish fulfilment. The universe is exactly as it appears – cold, dark, and indifferent. Man is another animal, and a pathetic one at that.    

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

Our campaign against humanity will continue until we are mere ash and dust. Thanks for the interview and interest in the band.

Pillagery Interview

 

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

We are PILLAGERY and we are bludgeoning primitive Black Metal from Victoria , BC

So far you have been a part of a spit and released a couple of demo's, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on these recordings?  

We pay homage to the old sounds of black metal past in whatever way feels natural to us.  The idea was definitely to be primitive violent and bestial, with cold riffs that bleed in as well.

Both of the band members are in other bands, what is it that you bring into the music of 'Pillagery', that you have not been able to do with your other groups?  

This band being a 2 piece just makes it very stripped down and lets us be very chaotic and aggressive.  

What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music?  

Generally Satan, war, medieval torture, castration.

What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Pillagery'?  

It’s a word we made up.. Like when a barbarian horde sacked a village, there was a shitload of rape and pillagery.

Currently there are only 2 members in the band, are you open to expanding the line up or do you prefer to remain a duo?  

This is the way Pillagery is.

Recently you were a part of a split with 'Goatscrote', what are your thoughts on the other musical project that had participated on the recording? 

We had both gotten copies of Goatscrote tapes before we met and always worshipped that band. Total underrated bestial Canadian horde!  We ordered some cds from them and began corresponding. Asked them to do a split and they were interested. Totally an influence on this band so that is very cool to work with those guys. 

On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of war and bestial black/death metal? 

The reception has been great, people seem to want what we are offering. Fuck this tame polished trend, there will always be an audience for braindead hammering chaos! Huge thanks to WolfKult Religion for taking notice of us and releasing this split.

When can we expect a full length and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?  

We are currently in the caverns smashing together the LP. You should be able to expect it sometime in 2026. It will be the logical next step down the path of barbarity.

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?  

Obviously this band is influenced massively by bands like MORBOSIDAD, BLACK WITCHERY, BLASPHEMY, ARCHGOAT etc etc. We worship all sorts of metal that is not false and shitty.  

Does Satanism or Occultism play any role in your music?  

PIllagery exalts Satan and defiles all things holy.

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

Hails to all who have supported us! Hail the true underground. Fuck off all fake black metal.

  When  the  music  speeds  up  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking,  war  metal  elements  and  blast beats  can  be  heard  which  also  gives  the  recording  more  of  a  raw  feeling.  Vocals  are  a  mixture  of  high  pitched  black  metal  screams  and  bestial  growls  and  the  songs  also  add  in  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.

  Power  electronics  are  also  added  into  certain  sections  of  the  album  along  with  the  programmed  beats  also  taking  the  music  into  more  0f  a  psy-trance  direction  when  they  are  introduced.  Clean  playing,  operatic  singing  and  spoken  words  can  also  be  heard  briefly  as  well  as  some  saxophones,  flutes  and  trumpets  also  being  introduced  as  the  recording  progresses.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  science  fiction  themes.

  In  my  opinion  Raumordnung  are  a  very  great  souning  mixture  of  war,  metal,  power  electronics,  dark  ambient,  opera  and  psy-trance  and  if  you  are  looking  for  something  very  original,  you  should  check  out  this  collective.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Interspehereon'  Beacon".  8  out of  10.

Trance Of The Undead/Dawn Of Resurrection/Unpure Records/2025 EP Review

 

  Trance  Of  The  Undead  are  a  solo  project  from  Brazil  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  and  on  this  recording  goes  for  a  very  experimental  and  bestial  mixture  of  war,  black  and  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  2025  ep  "Dawn  Of  Resurrection"  which  was  released  by  Unpure  Records.

  A  very  dark  yet  heavy  sound  starts  off  the  ep  while  the  vocals  also  add  in  a  mixture  of  bestial  growls  and  black  metal  screams.  Melodies  can  also  be  heard  in  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  at  times  along  with  the  spoken  words  and  chants  also  adding  in  a  ritualistic  touch  when  they  are  utilized  and  synths  can  also  be  heard  on  a  few  tracks. 

  A  great  portion  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length  while  the  faster  sections  of  the  songs  also  add  in  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats  and  war  metal  elements.  A  lot  of  the  music  is  also  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  old  school  era  of  the  genre  along  with  the  tremolo  picking  in  the  fast  riffing  also  giving  the  recording  more  of  a  raw  feeling.  

  The  songs  also  add  in  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  along  with  one  track  also  sticking  to  more  of  a  synth  orientated  style  and  the  ep  also  closes  with  a  cover  of  mayhem's  "Funeral  Fog".  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  death,  darkness  and  necromancy  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Trance  Of  The  Undead  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  experimental,  war  and  bestial  black/death  metal,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Dawn  Of  Resurrection"  and  "Retribution  For  The  Dead  (Astral  Punishment)".  8  out  of  10.

Satanicristo Interview

 

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

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: First of all, thank you for your interest and attention. I'd like to say that SATANICRISTO isn't a project, as we're established as a two-member band and will continue to do so, focusing on this extreme music, with a sound geared towards that transition period of the true underground, of bands from our city that we passed through, as well as others from abroad, from the period from 1986 until the beginning of the 90s.

2.So far you have released an ep and been a part of a split, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recordings?

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: I could be describing this song as what SARCÓFAGO described when they made their first sound recordings: a total Satanic Fucking Metal, considering that the drummer passed through that band and brought with him the influence from that time, so I don't know a better definition for our sound.

3.The project has been around since 2017 but you waited until 2024 to release any music, can you tell us a little bit more about the long wait?

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: Exactly. I started the band in 2017, initially looking to be a one-man band. After that period, when the first record was made, recording a cover for a tribute compilation to IMPURITY, I was involved with other bands, but creating new music, until the drummer offered to join me and we could record a debut EP. I agreed to the proposal, and so we did.

4.Both of the band members are  also involved with other bands and projects, what is it that you bring into the music of 'Satanicristo', that you have not been able to do with your other groups?

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: The sound we make in SATANICRISTO is another type of sound that, despite some differences, follows a more extreme and raw line in relation to the other bands we play in, although the other bands we are part of also influence us a lot, for sure.

5.A lot of your lyrics cover Satanism and Blasphemy themes, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in the black arts?

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: If you refer to the black arts, associating them with the occult, this theme has fascinated me since the 80s, even before my connection with Metal music, because I already had a fascination and interest in literature about the occult and magic, but the themes addressed by SATANICRIST are different, as they are restricted to the violation of moral codes and biblical principles, that is, pure hatred for the Christian gospel.

6.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Satanicristo'?

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: There's no specific meaning, per se. I created this name and realized it has a blasphemous connotation, which is what the band aims to do.

7.Currently there are only 2 members in this project, do you feel you are able to accomplish more with your musical style with less members?

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: Exactly, the band's proposal is to move forward with just two members, and always distilling that same sound, without changes.

8.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of war, black and death metal?

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: So far, our 7th debut EP, in addition to the song I recorded for the Tribute to IMPURITY, has been well received by the underground audience that appreciates this genre. I've seen and heard many supportive and encouraging comments.

9.What is going on with some of the other bands or musical projects these days that some of the band members are a part of?

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: IMPURITY recently completed a 40-day European tour, and recently we played here in Brazil, one of which was in Brasília, the federal capital. We continue rehearsing for future performances with IMPURITY and other bands we're part of.

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

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: We're organizing and preparing for both our first full-length album and future tours in Brazil and abroad. Stay tuned for updates soon.

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

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: As I said, bands we were part of and some that even say they were influenced by us. The veterans from here like SARCÓFAGO, HOLOCAUSTO, MUTILATOR and others that came later like BLASPHEMY, BEHERIT, SAMAEL, and some current ones like TORMENTADOR, BLOODY VENGEANCE, CONQUEROR, BLACK WITCHERY, and others…

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

Morbid Lord Ron Seth: I conclude this interview by thanking you for your strong support and interest, and also to all the underground maniacs who took the time to read this interview. Long live Occult Black Metal Zine and may you always continue in complete blasphemy, in nomini Satanas. Hail!

Uranium/Corrosion Of Existence/Sentient Ruin Laboratories/2025 Full Length Review

 

  Uranium  are  a  solo  project  from  the  United  States  and  on  this  recording  goes  for  a  mixture  of  war,  bestial  black/death  metal,  harsh  noise  and  death  industrial  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  2025  album  "Corrosion  Of  Existence"  which  was  released  by  Sentient  Ruin  Laboratories.

  Spoken  word  samples  start  off  the  album  before  going  into  more  of  a  heavier  industrial  direction  which  also  adds  in  some  harsh  noises  and  power  electronics.  Vocals  are  also  a  mixture  of  black  metal  screams  and  bestial  growls  while  all  of  the  drum  beats  are  also  programmed  and  a  couple  of  the  tracks  are  also  very  long  and  epic  in  length.

  When  the  music  speeds  up  a  decent  amount  of  blast  beats  and  war  metal  elements  can  also  be  heard  while  some  tracks  also  add  in  some  heavy  and  brutal  guitar  riffing.  All  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them,  synths  can  also  be  heard  in  certain  sections  of  the  recording  and  each  song  also  sounds  very  different  from  each  other.

  On  this  recording  Uranium  keeps  the  harsh  noise  and  death  industrial  elements  of  previous  releases  and  mixes  in  influences  of  war,  black  and  death  metal  to  create  something  very  different.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  while  the  lyrics  cover  nuclear  devastation  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  album  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  war,  bestial  black/death  metal,  harsh  noise  and  death  industrial,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Traffic  Warden"  and  "Corrosion  Of  Existence".  8  out  of  10.

  BANDCAMP RELEASE    

Deathwinds Interview

 

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

Deathwinds is ripping Black Death from Vancouver BC:

Nocturnal Black: nuclear chainsaws, death chants

Bestial Desolator: hellfire battery and graveside invocations

Nuclear Hammer Throne: bass savagery. 

TOWARDS DOOM is out now on LP on Sentient Ruin and CD/cassette on Headsplit Records, our first full length attack of black fucking knifing metal. 

Deathwinds formed in 2013 in Vancouver BC and recorded Endless Wastelands shortly thereafter, for release on Vault of Dried Bones / Iron Bonehead. Live attacks were perpetrated in the Pacific Northwest 2014-2019 and the bleak fire was kept burning through many years of chaos and upheaval. Filth Destroyer savaged bass from the onset until 2021 or so, when he left the band permanently. A close associate of the cult took over on bass in 2022 or so, but it wasn't his strain of madness and he departed shortly thereafter. In 2023 Ripping Annihilation was recorded and mixed in our rehearsal dungeon by Nuclear Hammer Throne, and released on Headsplit Records. Nuclear Hammer Throne subsequently joined the cult full-time on bass destruction.

2.Recently you have released your first full length, musically how does it differ from your previous ep's?

Pretty much not at all. It’s exactly the same ripping attack. Some of the songs go back to the early years of the band. The song Towards Doom goes back like ten years; it was the fourth Deathwinds song written after Endless Wastelands. The whole concept of the LP was cemented well in advance. We tracked at LRS in New Westminster BC with Michael Kraushaar during the dismal Mar 2024, with additional recording by Anju Singh in Burning Hell, Vancouver over Apr-Aug 2024. Bestial Desolator performed the morbid synth intros. NH of Heresiarch mixed and mastered it into jagged stabbing form. Being Heresiarch fans, it was great to have that total maniac desecrating the mix. Nathan made a descent into madness and obsession to deliver the fuckin goods. 

3.Form 2014 to 2023 there was no music being released, can you tell us a little bit more about what has been going on during that time frame?

All of us play in other bands which were active during that time, but honestly the main factor in the lack of releases was chaotic personal lives. But really, for those nine years Deathwinds was always alive and festering in the shadows, and even during the bleak pandemic years, Bestial Desolator and I kept the noxious flame burning. 

4.All of the band members are also involved with other bands, what is it that your bring into the music of 'Deathwinds', that you have not been able to do with your other groups or projects?

When Deathwinds spawned in 2013, the three of us were all in Radioactive Vomit. RV’s drummer the Shatterer of Wooden Crucifixes had a very fucked up schedule and was all tied up during that time, and the three of us were at our rehearsal dungeon getting trashed. We started fucking around with Bestial Desolator on the drums, and the concept took form pretty fucking quick - a ripping black death attack with faster riffing and drumming, as opposed to the primitive hammering obsession of Radioactive Vomit. Deathwinds has always stayed within that poisoned vein. 

5.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music?

Death, suicide, apocalypse, Armageddon, doomsday, murder, total destruction, psychosis, hell.

6.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Deathwinds'?

The blasting pestilent winds of ripping Black Death! 

I came up with the name and did the logo very early on, but don't remember what inspired it. It all just embodied the necro attack we were thrashing out. Sometimes ideas will accrete in my mind and I'll have completely decided on a name, idea or image without realizing it, or consciously understanding it.

7.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?

I did all the art and layout. I’ve always liked when bands did their own art, like rok from sadistik exekution, or Tom g warriors art for hellhammer/CF, or Chany from Inepsy. The cover image and some of the other art had been in my head for a very long time, and I had sketched it out many years ago. An image like that will often emerge unconsciously, like in a dream state, and it's important to try translate it without fucking with it too much, so it will hopefully retain some of its obscure mystery. 

8.Has the band done any live shows or is this strictly a studio project?

We've always done live attacks. From 2014-2019 we played a bunch of shows around Vancouver and Seattle. We played our first show with Nuclear Hammer Throne on bass at a show in Vancouver with Abysmal Lord and Disimperium in 2023, and have played a couple local shows since then with Dipygus, Anthropophagous, Petrification, and Reversed. It’s always good to see a dangerous meeting of degenerates and die hards at shows. 

9.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of war, black and death metal?

We've gotten good feedback from maniacs and psychos, and the black blood is spilling on many shores. We always get fired up seeing heads whipping around and the blood flowing during live assaults too. 

10.What is going on with some of the other bands or musical projects these days that some of the band members are a part of?

Nuclear Hammer Throne and I both play in Ceremonial Bloodbath; we just toured Europe with Antediluvian and will be getting back to recording soon as well. Bestial Desolator and Nuclear Hammer Throne are both in Temple of Abandonment. Bestial Desolator is also crushing the coffins for Mortuary Cave now.  

11.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

Deeper into the depths of hell!

12.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?

Core influences would be: Black witchery, axis of advance, revenge, angelcorpse, Archgoat, Blasphemy, old Destroyer 666, Truppensturm, impious Baptism, Bathory, Slayer, Sepultura, Celtic Frost, Terrorizer, Darkthrone, bolt thrower, incantation, doom, state of fear, and many more. 

Lately I've been blasting Hadopelegyal, Abhorration, Deathsiege, Har. 

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

Spill the fucking blood!

  This  is  a  review  of  a  split  ep  between  Spain's  Warslaughter  and  U.S.A's  Red  Right  Hand  Of  Plague  which  was  released  by  Elf  Eggs  and  we  will  start  off  the  review  with  Red  Right  hand  Of  Plague  who  returns  with  his  mixture  of  war,  black,  death  metal  and  grindcore.

  His  side  of  the  split  start  out  with  a  very  fast,  raw  and  brutal  war  metal  direction  which  also  utilizes  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast beats.  Vocals  are  a  mixture  of  bestial  growls  and  black  metal  screams  while  all  of  the  musical  instruments  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  along  with  the  solos  and  leads  also  adding  in  a  more  of  a chaotic  style.

  Throughout  his  side  of  the  split  you  can  also  hear  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  as  well  as  the  music  also  capturing  the  brutality  of  grindcore,  melodies  are  also  added  into  some  of  the  guitar  riffing  as  well  as  all  of  the  drum  beats  also  being  programmed.  Th e production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  war  and  gender  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Red  Right  Hand  Of  Plague  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  war,  black,  death  metal  and  grindcore,  you  should  check  out  his  side  of  the  split.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "The  Fatal  Throne".

  Next  up  is  Warslaughter  who  return  with  their  mixture  of  war,  black  and  death  metal.

  Their  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  a  very  dark  yet  heavy  sound  before  going  into  a  very  fast,  raw  and  brutal  war  metal  direction  which  also  utilizes  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking  and  blast  beats.  Vocals  are  mostly  bestial  growls  while  black  metal  screams  can  also  be  heard  at  times.

  When  guitar  solos  and  leads  are  utilized  they  are  also  done  in  a  very  chaotic  style  along  with  the  their  side  also  adding  in  a  good  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  all  of  the  music  sticks  to  a  heavier  direction.  The  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw  while  the  lyrics  cover  death  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Warslaughter  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  war  and  bestial  black/death  metal,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of  the  split.

  In  conclusion  I  feel  this  is  a  very  great  sounding  split  and  I  would  recommend  it  to  all  fans  of  war  and  bestial  black/death  metal.  8  out  of  10.
