Interview with Alex Venders (Devangelic)


1: How did you guys get together as a band?
We got together in August 2012 when Mario (guitar) and David (former bass player) came up with the idea of this project, and since we knew each other for a while Paolo (vocals) and me (drums) completed the line up pretty fast! Then after David left the band for personal reasons we got our current bass player Damiano in mid 2013.

2: You released your debut album "Resurrection Denied" in 2014. How has
the feedback been? When do you think something new could be out?Well, the responses from the fans as well as the insiders and the press were amazing as we never expected. We had to immediately reprint and re-release a lot of merch and cds as we sold out almost everything after the first leg of the Resurrection Denied Tour last year!
We’re now in the writing process of the new album, don’t know it yet but let’s say a possible period to release a new album is mid 2016. In the meantime we have in program to release Resurrection Denied vinyl and cassettes version on limited quantities, and we’ll release as well an exclusive Ep that will contain our first two promo tracks and one of two live songs!



 3: You've toured internationally since the release of the album. What's
the best experience you've had on the road?
European tour and festivals were amazing but I think that the US tour was even better, at least because it was something totally new! The fans were crazy, we met so many great people around and Steve from Comatose did a GREAT job caring for us. The highlight of the tour is definitely when we played in Las Vegas at Las Vegas Deathfest, playing there in front of 600 people, hanging around with the guys of Mortal Decay, Gorgasm, Condemned and bands like these… it was awesome!


4: What are your future plans/ambitions?
We’re gonna take a little break from touring constantly this year doing only selected live gigs, to focus on the writing process for our new album that is already in the making, so this is our plan for now. Talking about “ambitions” we want to keep this band going as much as possible, recording, touring and visiting as many countries as possible meeting awesome people!


5: You have strongly anti-religious lyrics and themes. What's the story
behind that?
We wanted to touch those themes precisely because we come from a city and a state where the Christian bigotry is everywhere. To be clear, as a lot of people asked us, we’re not satanic or something like that, we’re just against this religious bigotry who ruins the mind of people.


6: Has your music caused you any trouble? You do live in Rome after all.
We don’t have any problem with our music or lyrics yet, as explained before, we’re not touching satanic or weird kind of things we just express our thoughts on the matter.


7: One band you'd like to share the stage with?It’s quite impossible to take just one, so I’ll say a couple like Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Morbid Angel, Suffocation and Disgorge. Of course there are a lot more but let’s stop here for the moment!


8: Alien invasion or zombie apocalypse?
I’m a Devin Townsend fan you know, and as he’s addicted to aliens, I’ll just say Alien Invasion!


9: Say anything you want to our fans.

Thanks again for having us and keep your great work up! Just want to remind everyone to follow us on facebook to be updated on the band's activity at this link https://www.facebook.com/devangelic.official.

Photography: Chi Baluran Shoots 1. How have you been? Yoooo, I've been good. First week of working this year and we had over 50 cm of snow and temperatures under -10 Celsius. But I'm holding on!  2. What are you currently listening to that you would recommend? Currently on a black metal binge due to obvious reasons like all this fucking snow and cold, haha. But I have also been jamming some classics of slam and BDM. Trying to get into some new bands and releases, but honestly I always end up going back to the classic stuff. A few bands: Akhlys, Vinterland, Cephalotripsy, Lust of Decay, Cannibalistic Infancy. 3. You announced a new project called Cadaveric Necropsy. Can you tell us more about it?  Oh, it's gonna be slammy as fuck. Surprised? (laugh) It's a project with me on strings, Justin from Murdered on drums and Ondrej, who used to sing in Epicardiectomy, on vocals. Expect a huuuge inspiration of Cephalotripsy on this one! We plan to release a promo track soon with ...

What are your musical plans for the future and when can we expect new Pestilectomy music?  No plans for the future as Pestilectomy is over. At least now we are. We may come back som...

Interview with Donovan Fox (Defenestrated Treachery)

1. How have you been? I’ve been good, though my life’s been pretty uneventful other than the slam shit. 2. What are you currently listening to that you would recommend? I’ve been spinning some classic slam albums like Rationing The Sacred Human Remains by Parasitic Ejaculation and Uterovaginal Insertions of Extirpated Anomalies by Cephalotripsy. A newer band I’ve been listening to is Cranioclast, an oldschool deathcore style project that my friend has. He also has a slam project called Nephrostomy that DT is actually getting a feature on! We recorded our feature a few days ago, actually.  3. You have a 4-way split coming out in January. Are there any plans for a solo EP/album? Yes actually, we’ve been waiting on our homie Alex from Inherited Suffering Records to finish mixing up our full length. We’ve worked so hard on this album and it actually took us a year. The dudes in DT are pretty eager to hear the finished product, including me. Don’t know when the initial release date will...
