Ancient Thrones Interview

 

1.Can you give us an update on what has been going on with the band since the recording and release of the new album?


We released the album in September, and then played release shows in December. We had a great 2025 and we’re looking to continue that momentum into the new year. 


2.A few months back you released a new album, musically how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?


It’s much more aggressive, with a focus on extremity. We purposefully wanted to look at Melancholia through a death metal lens and pay tribute to bands like The Black Dahlia Murder and The Red Chord, bands we came up on in the early 2000’s. Our previous record was more atmospheric and carefully constructed. We took that structure from The Veil and obliterated it through the intensity in this album. As a band we never want to make the same album twice, and we’re always looking at pushing ourselves and our listener into new territories. 


3.This was also your first album since 2020, can you tell us a little bit more about the long wait between releases?


We had this album written in 2021, and began recording in 2022. We wanted to maintain our DIY focus in everything about this band, and so we were able to take our time with the production, mixing and mastering. We made mistakes, and we learned a lot of valuable skills in making this record that will be beneficial to whatever we decide to do next. It’s good to have that space you need to ensure the end product meets the high bar we set for ourselves as an independent band. 


4.The lyrics on the new recording are a concept album, can you tell us a little bit more about the story you have covered with the release?


The album follows a person who’s colourblind and takes psychedelic drugs to see colour. They start to see the life they think they would have if they were given that privilege. That’s the initial idea, and it sort of speaks to a cautionary message about what happens when you give yourself over to external things to cure what’s missing inside of you.


5.Originally the band was known as 'Abysseral Throne', what was the cause of the name change and also the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Ancient Thrones'?


Abysseral Throne was a band that I started in 2011, so it didn’t make sense to continue to use that name when the lineup drastically changed in 2018. We loved that band, but if you listen to the music we did then and what we do now, there are few parallels. Ancient Thrones was sort of a way to let the fans of Abysseral know we were still here, with the same drive but that we were reinvigorated to be something new. The new name comes from Wolves in the Throne Room lyrics from the song “Astral Blood”. 


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


It was painted by Carter Doody, a local Canadian artist who we were fans of for many years. The idea is sort of to present an idea of a beautiful, but dangerous place with elements from real life that could possibly exist within nature. It’s like looking at a landscape when you’re tripping on acid. The colours and shapes are unnatural, twisted and distorted purposefully. There’s a lot of direct translation from the lyrics of the record on full display throughout the art. 


7.Out of all the shows and tours the band has done so far, which one stands out the most?


We’ve been blessed to open for so many great bands, The Faceless, Black Crown Initiate, Rings of Saturn, etc. It would be hard to pinpoint a favourite. Our last run with Necrohol and Omnivide was a highlight from recent years. 


8.Do you have any touring or show plans for 2026?


Under wraps at the moment, but short answer is yes. 


9.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received ant interest?


It’s hard to say. We’ve done this for so long on our own, a label would really have to provide us with something unique. When we don’t even have our own government providing us any kind of funding, you really start to see outside resources as a fantasy. There’s a lot of positives being with a label and the idea of it is cool to us, we’ve just been very focused with keeping this band internal to our wants and needs. If there are any labels interested in talking to us, we’d certainly have the conversation. 


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


Internationally it’s cool to see people are digging the album. We’ve seen a spike in people buying and supporting the record sort of throughout the world. It means a lot to us. 


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


We’re back in our writing dungeon to figure out what comes next. I can’t say much else, other than we don’t intend to write the same thing twice. New influences, perspectives and experiments are what we’re always looking for. 


12.What are some of the bands or musical styles the band members are currently listening to these days? 


Our music tastes are pretty diverse in the band but some things we've been listening to recently are Deafheaven, Blood Incantation, Archspire, Ulcerate, The Armed, Drain. 


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


We're thankful for all the support for our music and you can check out Melancholia wherever you stream your music or purchase merch & vinyl through our Bandcamp.

Tümör Interview

 


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


 


The band was formed in 2025. We are three experienced musicians based in Turkey, each involved in multiple projects. Due to the lyrical content and the concept, we decided to keep our identities hidden. This choice is not about following the recently fashionable mystical imagery; rather, while allowing complete freedom in our music, it also enables us to remain in a personal safe zone. Because in Turkey, things can get rather problematic at this point.


2.Recnetly you have released an ep, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that is presented on the recording?


 


“DOĞUM” is our first EP. Musically, we draw from an unlimited spectrum. All band members are middle-aged musicians who are known within the Turkish underground scene. In general, we are all experienced in Thrash, Death, and Black Metal. Looking at the final outcome, we can say that it is a form of Black Metal leaning heavily toward Thrash and Death Metal, gathered around an Anatolian background.


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


 


As its Turkish title suggests, “DOĞUM” tells a story of birth. This birth is depicted through a curse created by the union of a human and “Al Karısı,” a mythological figure from Anatolian folklore known for devouring newborn children, in an Anatolian village. As a result of this union, the child has no physical human vessel and instead takes form as a tumor born from a black goat in a stable. Throughout the album, you hear the sentence “Kara Keçi Tümör Doğurdu” (“The Black Goat Gave Birth to a Tumor”) several times in Turkish.


Behind this dark narrative lies a non-mystical form of social Satanism. While our perspective is closer to Anton LaVey’s approach, the concept mainly revolves around misanthropy, the way state and religion rot human beings, how all social bonds enslave us, and how humanity is destroyed by becoming detached from nature. We also address certain contemporary social and religious realities currently experienced in Turkey—particularly religious cults with massive influence in the country, which function not only as belief systems but also as cartels involved in chemical drugs.


4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Tumor'?


 


If you imagine society as a healthy body as defined by power structures, and religion, nationalism, gender, and economy as the organs of that body, with people as its cells, then we position ourselves as a malignant tumor that infiltrates this body to alter its cells and damage its organs. Our aim is to first penetrate our own society’s listeners and convince the cells that these organs are in fact dysfunctional and rotten—and ultimately to bring about the death of the body itself.


5.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the ep cover?


 


The goat you see on the cover artwork symbolizes the birth of the tumor we described earlier. In a sense, it also represents our own birth.


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


 


We haven’t played any live shows yet, and for now we don’t have a concrete plan regarding concerts. Our primary focus is to create more songs. Maybe one day we will bring this project to the stage.


 


7.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?


 


If the conditions are reasonable, why not?


 


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


 


The feedback on the two singles released so far has been quite positive. For now, most of the response naturally comes from Turkish listeners.


 


9.Do any of the band members have any experience playing in othe bands or musical projects?


Each member is involved in bands that have released albums both domestically and internationally. We recommend keeping an eye on the Turkish underground scene—there are many truly valuable works being produced.


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


 


We will, of course, release a full-length album eventually. However, we prefer to release short songs that deliver their musical message directly without overstaying their welcome. We think this thrash/punk-oriented attitude is connected to the freedom of this project and the fact that it consists of musicians who do not limit themselves behind anonymity. Whether the next release will be an EP, single, or album will depend on the length of the story we want to tell. Still, we have no desire to create 11-minute songs that place an unnecessary burden on both ourselves and the listener.


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?


We listen to and appreciate many styles, ranging from classic Heavy Metal to extreme metal and Anatolian folk music. If we were to name influences, both local and international, bands such as Deathspell Omega, Belphegor, Destroyer 666, Deicide, Gorgoroth, Sodom, Zifir (TR), Suicide (TR), and Vortex of Clutter (TR) can be mentioned.


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


Thank you for listening to our very first release and for giving it space. Watching the path that Tümör will take as it emerges from Anatolia will be a pleasure to share together. The world is standing on the threshold of a new era moving toward destruction. Perhaps these are the last songs we will ever listen to. Who knows?

Bläkken Interview

 

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


1. Bläkken was formed in late 2016. We play a mixture of death, black, and other extreme metal influences without limiting ourselves to a single genre. We just play what we feel like playing at the moment.


2.In December you released your first full length, musically how does it differ from your previous ep?


2. Compared to the EP, the full-length album is much more mature and focused. The songwriting is more deliberate, the structures are more developed, and the atmosphere is darker and more coherent. We allowed ourselves more space to explore dynamics and emotion instead of relying purely on aggression.


3.This is also your first release in 6 years, can you tell us a little bit more about the long wait in between releases?


3. The gap wasn’t planned. Life happened — lineup stabilization, personal issues, the pandemic, and a lot of internal work on our sound and identity. We didn’t want to release anything until we felt it truly represented us. In hindsight, the time helped us grow both musically and as a band.


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


4. Our lyrics deal mostly with internal struggles — depression, emotional paralysis, alienation, moral decay, and social indifference. These are silent, personal battles rather than external conflicts. The themes are bleak but honest, rooted in real emotions and experiences rather than abstract concepts.


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


5. The name doesn’t have a literal meaning. We tried to find a name for our band for a few days, but we couldn’t find anything that satisfied us. One night, I was sitting at home listening to Metallica when Blackened started playing, and I thought to myself, “Fuck, how great is that song.” Then I started thinking about a name for our band, and suddenly Hetfield screamed in my ear: BLÄKKEN (obviously inspired by Blackened). I immediately thought it sounded like a great name. The rest of the band loved it, so it stayed.


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


6. It fits the name of the album. Światowstręt, in a literal translation, would mean something like “disgust towards the world,” and the cover represents exactly that. The main character is drowned and pulled down against its will into the depths of a rotten society.


7.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?


7. Our debut show supporting Vader was definitely one of the most memorable experiences — playing in front of such a large and intense crowd right from the start was unreal. We also had a great show at the MV Metal Meeting Festival in Germany. There were maybe 30 people in the crowd, but we had a lot of fun. After our show, we displayed our merch in front of the venue and started playing songs on a classical guitar — some pop songs and some Tenacious D. We were having so much fun playing and singing that the crowd felt it, and we actually ended up with more people hanging out and singing with us at our merch table than at the bands playing on the main stage at that time.


8.Do you have any touring or show plans for 2026?




8. In a few weeks, we’re hitting the studio to record our next album, and then we want to play some live shows in autumn and winter. Will it happen? We shall see!


9.Currentyl you are unsigned, are you looking for a level or have received any interest?


9. We’re open to working with the right label, but we’re not desperate. We’ve received some offers in the past, but none that felt fair or trustworthy. If the right opportunity comes along, we’ll consider it — otherwise, we’re comfortable staying independent.


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


10. The response has been surprisingly positive, especially considering we’re independent and not heavily promoted. We’ve received good feedback from listeners across different countries, so we’re really happy.


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


11. We don’t plan to radically change our sound, but we want to push it further — deeper atmosphere, stronger songwriting, and more emotional weight. The future material will likely be darker and more refined rather than more extreme for the sake of extremity.


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?


12. We listen to everything, really. The main influences for Światowstręt were definitely bands like Lamb of God, Behemoth, Children of Bodom, and Bolt Thrower.


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


13. Thanks for the interest and the thoughtful questions. We appreciate everyone who takes the time to listen to our music and support independent bands. Stay tuned — the next chapter of Bläkken is already in the works!

Hellslaught Interview

 

1.Can you give us an update on what is going on with the band these days?

Our album is out, we have some killer shows booked, with some irons in the fire for the future, and I’m writing more riffs everyday. What more could we want?


2.A few months back you released your first full length, can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording/

Yes, Violent Iconoclasm has been unleashed! We really wanted to create an esoteric, obscure album that challenged the confines of ‘blackthrash’ while still delivering riffs and atmosphere as expected. An album that sits in the murky margins between many spaces.


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

There is a freedom here I think. Death metal has its confines. Black metal is notorious for being rigid. Likewise other styles. Blackthrash is the true gods rock ’n’ roll. Atmosphere and riffs, mysticism and brutality. Perfect.


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

We worship true metal and forever raise our middle fingers to the face of authority and sanctity. That is our message. There are enough references peppered throughout for those with the sight to find them. Prepare all sacred cows for slaughter!


5.Originally the band was known as 'Kömmand', what was the cause of the name change and also the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Hellslaught'/

We wish to create an absolute Hellish Onslaught. We used to be called Kömmand, but I guess the world needed another Bolt Thrower rip-off.


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

We’ve always worshipped Rok’s immortal artwork. His art is a true vision of hell, twisted and visceral in its execution. We opted for a mostly dark blue/purple color scheme to honor a few classic, magical albums. Storm of the Light’s Bane, In the Nightside Eclipse, etc.


7.Out of all the shows the band has done so far, which one stands out the most?

I have a couple personal favorites. The inaugural Soldiers of Steel Fest in Seattle (as Hellslaught), the show with Ares Kingdom and Witches Hammer in Victoria BC (as Kömmand), and the show with Desolus and Nuclear Tomb in Baltimore (as Kömmand). We also love local shows and thrashing with our friends.


8.Do you have any touring or show plans for 2026?

We’re playing a few area shows in February, Northwest Massacre Vol 2 with Massacre and Sadistic Intent in March, and hopefully a short tour in late summer. We’re already writing for another album.


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

The response has been overwhelmingly positive from people with ears attuned to listen, however we haven’t reached all the ears we would’ve liked… yet! There is a lot to sift through these days no mistake, but there’s always gold for those who seek.


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

The other members would have to speak on that. We are all very busy, so I’m sure none of us is able to focus as much on our projects as we’d like. Such is life.


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

We will only go further and further into the void. Further chasing the vision of our craft. Challenging, stubborn, obscure, esoteric riff-centric black thrashing madness. This is what I want to be doing forever.


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

We are all well-versed in many styles. Carnage is an old head who worships at the altar of ancient black and thrash metal, Bael’Zharon is a thrash and punk madman, Destrukutor is a death metal fiend, and while I listen to a little of everything, I probably listen to more classic heavy metal and progressive music than any of the others.


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

Fists raised high for Witches Brew, all the bands we’ve been honored to play with, and everyone who listens to Hellslaught! And a massive fuck off to all modern, conformist metal! Cheers!

Orbstruct Interview

 

ORBSTRUCT – INTERVIEW (Answers – Goreon: founder, leader, vocalist/guitarist of Orbstruct) 1)


 Can you give us an update on what is going on with the band these days? 

We’re very much alive and pushing forward. After the upheaval of the last years we rebuilt momentum, locked in a live lineup in Europe, and kept the energy focused on taking Ostracism to the stage and opening new creative doors. The drive is the same: stay active, stay sharp, and keep moving past the hardships. 


2) A few months back you had released a new album, musically how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past? 

Ostracism doubles down on what defines Orbstruct: a grim, oppressive atmosphere and that unusual-for-death‑metal coldness, constantly knotted with bursts of aggression and fury. If earlier material hinted at this balance, the new record carves it deeper—bleaker air, tighter dynamics, and harsher contrasts—without losing the bite. 


3) This is also your first release since 2021—can you tell us a little bit more about the 4‑year wait?

 The timeline tells the story. We began writing in May 2020 and had the album nearly finished by the end of 2021. The plan was to enter the studio in early 2022—then the full‑scale war began and everything collapsed. We were forced to move from Kharkiv to Kyiv. After this relocation we rethought and rearranged the material in Kyiv between June 2022 and March 2023, and finally recorded there between June 2023 and February 2024—navigating rolling blackouts, shelling, and the psychological toll that came with it. That’s why the wait was long, and that’s why the record sounds the way it does. 


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

 Actually, Orbstruct is the center of gravity for all of us. We’ll occasionally jump in to help friends—one‑off live appearances or a studio session here and there—but there are no other permanent bands pulling us away. That focus is what lets us pour everything into Orbstruct and shape the sound exactly as we envision it.


 5) What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explored with the newer music and also how would you describe your progress as songwriters over the years?

 Lyrically, the heart of Orbstruct is the clash between the individual and the forces that try to bend them—inner conflict versus pressure from the outside. On Ostracism that thread sharpened into a satirical cut at herd instinct: three interwoven vantage points—the outcast’s eyes, the herd from within, and a detached observer—constantly force a shift in perspective. The war made those emotions raw and immediate; what once came from literature and cinema now comes straight from lived experience. As writers, we grew more deliberate: ideas arrive in fragments, we mosaic them together, and the band’s arranging phase turns a skeleton into a living, breathing thing. 


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

 We framed the record around the historical idea of ostracism—the Athenian practice of exiling someone for the perceived good of the many—so the visuals echo exile, fracture, and the tension between the individual and the herd. It’s less a literal illustration, more a conceptual mirror to the themes running through the album. 


7) Out of all the shows and tours the band has done so far, which one stands out the most? 

Two nights burn brightest. First—Kyiv: the very first metal concert in Ukraine after the war began. It was madness in the best sense—unity, catharsis, and a pit so wild the club had to call an ambulance five times. Second—Mladá Boleslav in the Czech Republic: the welcome was so intense we had to stop mid‑song just to calm the room down. Those crowds carried us.


 8) Do you have any touring or show plans for 2026?

 Yes—club shows and festivals across Europe are the focus. We’re building on the circuit we’ve already hit (Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, Latvia) and aiming to add Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands as we expand. Promoters can reach us directly—we’re ready to bring Ostracism to more stages. 


9) On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your newer music by fans of blackened death metal?

 The underground has been responsive—zines, blogs, and readers across scenes have given Ostracism real attention, and those conversations matter to us. The dialogue is thoughtful and often raw, which fits the album’s spirit. 


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?

 There aren’t other permanent bands at the moment. If friends call, we’ll help—one‑off shows or a studio favor—but Orbstruct is the priority and where the long‑term work happens. 


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

Deeper into the shadows we already inhabit—further refining that bleak, oppressive atmosphere and cold emotional palette, while keeping the striking surges of aggression that define our spine. The influences evolve, but the aim is the same: make the darkness speak more clearly. 


12) What are some of the bands or musical styles the band members are listening to nowadays?

 Across the spectrum of heavy music—but to name names: early masterpieces of Morbid Angel, Bloodbath, Sepultura, Arch Enemy and Carcass have left a serious mark. If we talk about something newer, then it would be Analepsy and Mgła. Secondary influences come from bands such as Opeth, Paradise Lost and Triptycon, adding a touch of melodic and doom depth to our sound. 


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

 Stay strong and take care of the people close to you. Thanks to everyone who listens and stays with us—your support gives us the strength to keep creating and to believe in a brighter tomorrow. We’ll see you on the road.

Valletta/Bitter Lucid Truth/Lifeforce Records/2025 EP Review

 




  Valletta  are  a  band  from  North  Carolina  that  has  had  music  reviewed  before  in  this  zine  and  on  this  recording  goes  for  a  mixture  of  blackened  death  metal  and  black'n'roll  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2025  ep  "Bitter  Lucid  Truth"  which  will  be  released  by  Lifeforce  Records.


  A  very  heard  and  heavy  sound  starts  off  the  ep  along  with  some  death  metal  growls  and  few  seconds  later  and  the  riffs  also  add  in  a  decent  amount  of  melody.  Elements  of  black'n'roll  are  added  into  the  mid  tempo  sections  of  the  songs  and  all  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.


  A  lot  of  the  music  also  mixes  in  influences  of  crust  and  hardcore  while  the  solos  and  leads  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style  with  some  old  school  rock  and  metal  touches.  Screams  are  also  utilized  at  times  along  with  most  of  the  tracks  sticking  to  a  mid  tempo  direction  and  a  couple  of  songs also  adds  in  a  small  amount of  clean  playing  and  clear  singing  can  also  be  heard  brieflu.    


  On  this  recording  Valletta  takes  blackened  death  metal,  black'nroll,  crust  and  hardcore  and  mixes  them  together  to  create  a  very  aggressive  and  heavy  sound.  The  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover  anger  towards  today's  political  climate.


  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Valletta  and  if  you  are  a f an  of  black'nroll,  blackened  death  metal,  crust  and  hardcore,  you  should  check  out  this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Blood  And  Jesus"  and  "Spitting  The  Word".  8  out  of  10.
