Interview - MORAST


For an introduction to Morast, see here.

"F.", the band's vocalist, answered a few questions...

1. Ancestral Void (2017) was an excellent debut, how has the response been?

So far we can't complain. For such a dark sound you need the right mood. 

2. How would you describe the style of metal you play?

Uncompromising darkness. No matter which genre you want to put it in, darkness connects all our songs.

3. How did the band form?

Somewhere in 2015 by me and J.. The other boys (L. & R.) connected with us in August 2015.

4. It’s a clichéd question, but who are your main influences (if indeed you feel you have influences)?

From my side it is Celtic Frost, Burning Witch, Beatrik, Mortifera, Satyricon, Triptykon.

5. Could you talk a little about the band's lyrical content?

My texts are very personal and mostly report sad topics. But always from a certain solid position, I'm not whining 🙂

6. Do you have any future plans you can share with us?

Something's about to come, we can't tell you any more.

7. Is there any chance you’ll be playing in the UK any time soon?

Our home base is less than 600 kilometres from London. So far there has been no offer from the kingdom but we would like to drop by.

Incantation - Unholy Deification [REVIEW]

Image
Following the  Tricennial Of Blasphemy  compilation late last year, Incantation are back. This time with their twelfth full-length, Unholy Deification. This band doesn't have a bad album, and the bar is particularly high going into this one - following 2020's excellent Sect Of Vile Divinities, and other modern classics such as 2014's Dirges Of Elysium. ...and it doesn't disappoint. If anything, it surpasses expectations. Aggressive-but-accessible; well-written, well-executed; and it flows very well indeed. Just the right amount of dirt in the production, and also just the right amount of sheen. It's great to see a band still making inspired music more than three decades into their career. You can stream the release below, and purchase a copy here .

Banished By Sin is album number thirteen from these death metal legends. It has been six years since Deicide 's last effort, and has felt like longer thanks to this one having been teased for so long - it was announced seven months ago, and we only got to hear the first single (which can be found at the bottom of this post) on Christmas Day. It will finally be released on 26th April, brought to us by new label Reigning Phoenix Music. The last couple of albums were excellent, so hopes are very high going into this one.
