Discography
God in a Trench (2007),
Relentless is our Strength (2011),
New Beginnings are Met (2020).
What are your Influences?
Most of the bay area / Teutonic thrash metal, 90’s death metal, with a lot of other stuff as well. We all listen to a lot of different kinds of music. Nowadays, when we write songs is just a way of translating the experiences that you have daily into the music and the lyrics. I find this to be a ever flowing source of inspiration.
What do you write about?
Our last record kind of comprises it the way it is: social / political lyrics, personal and spiritual too. It has been like this since day 1. Our next album though will be a little different, when it comes to that, because we want to avoid repetition.
Your favourite live performance so far?
There are some, but I think our favourite one until today was Relentless is our Strenght’s showcase, also the Guayaquil rock festival in 2011, and some other individual shows played around Venezuela. There are a lot of memorable ones!
Your favourite records?
I usually say Kreator’s “Coma of Souls” is my favourite. That’s how I’ve discovered my favourite band!
A musician you would like to meet for a beer?
King Diamond.
What will you ask backstage if you were the most important band on earth?
Actually we’d ask just what it takes to be comfortable. I don’t know if I ever will get to be extravagant.
