Interview - ANTICHRIST


For an introduction to Antichrist, see here.

Funebrarum, the band's drummer, answered these questions.

1. Pax Moriendi is an outstanding album, how has the response been so far?

The response has been too good, both in our country and around the world. We never imagined that this humble project would come so far, made above all with the passion we feel for the underground.

2. Antichrist originally formed in 2004, and was active for many years before splitting in 2010 and reforming in 2011... was any material recorded during that first incarnation of the band?

Only some homemade recordings, nothing was edited in those years.

3. How would you describe your sound?

Antichrist evokes the dead and dense sound of the glory era of death metal.

4. Could you talk a little about the band’s lyrical content?

Although many think the band would have directly satanic lyrics, that isn't the reality. We take our name in honor of the book The Antichrist, by Friedrich Nietzsche. The lyrics speak of the introspective side of being, except Obscurantism which deals more with anti-Christian content.

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

From the masters Black Sabbath, to experimental music, to the golden age of death metal and funeral bands from the '90s.

6. What is the extreme metal scene in Lima like?

As everywhere, it's hard to find an audience in your own city.

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

This year we plan to produce an EP with new songs.

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 .

Deicide - Banished By Sin [Forthcoming Release]

Image
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.
