Interview: Shyaithan ( Impiety and Devouror)

Interview written and conceived by me (Giuseppe Belfiore), for my previous page.

1-Templo del Diablo Prod. welcomes the Goatfather, a legend of the Underground world. Let's raise the horns of victory and Let's Slay for Satan!!!
Between pandemic and war, the world knows no peace, in the midst of all this chaos is there any news regarding a live return of Impiety or Devouror?

Goat- Hail and yes! Devouror will first tour early 2023 followed by the Mighty IMPIETY summer 2023 onwards. Looking forward to hitting the stage savage and hard, too many years have passed since the pandemic and the continuation of blood, death and chaos need to resume and flow once again!

2-After 30 years of marching with Impiety you have decided to form this new horde called Devouror with: Shyaithan (Impiety) Guitar, Hades (Battlestorm) Vocals, Dizazter (Impiety) Drums, Asura (Deus Ex Machina) Guitar and Cryptor on bass. Under what foundations did you create the band?

Goat- Well first and foremost I think I wanted to shred on guitars on stage and secondly, the love for early deathmetal led me to create Devouror. It was not spontaneous affair but it was actually thought and planned around 2016 or so. Just that I always take my time to carefully plan and not just jump into a project of sorts. Devouror is a separate entity to that of IMPIETY, so 2nd love after IMPIETY. I am glad things have been smooth for us since forming the band in 2018 until today.

3-In 2018 Devouror was presented to the world with a destructive EP Slay For Satan, 3 songs plus Sarcófago's cover I.N.R.I.,from what we've seen, there is unwavering support in many countries, did you anticipate this?

Goat- Actually with the scene or industry so saturated with bands I never anticipated for better or worse. Yes I did have my doubts but I am one who moves with confidence never concerned about hurdles or obstacles all around. Am glad it all turned out well and support has been tremendous! Really appreciate to hear so much positivity all around, thus far.

4-On September 30, the French label Listenable Records will release the first album, Diabolos Brigade (available on LP, CD and Cassette Tape), 9 songs plus the Possessed' s cover Death Metal. What are your prospects for this album and looking to the future, will Devouror be a project that will continue its blasphemy?

Goat- The album has been released in digi cd, tape and vinyl formats. We thank everyone for buying and supporting. Reviews have been good as well, but more or less, the support has been tremendous from both Asia and the world. Next up will be tours to further promote this sick fu***ng devastation!

5-The song Oath Of Devil's Cross (extracted from the album), adheres to the profaning offense dictated by Black/Death Metal, without plastic grafts and modern flourishes. You who were one of the creators of this barbaric style, are you surprised that despite the passage of decades and related fashions, the fulcrum of this blasphemous art has remained immune to change?

Goat- Primary aim with Devouror was to keep it in tradition with the first wave of black and especially death metal! Stuff like early Death, Possessed, old Sepultura, Masacre (col), old Morbid Angel, old Holocausto, Sarcófago, Necrovore, Ravage (pre-Atheist) never cease to inspire!! Plus the sound on these records had a tremendous impact and very much adored! Concerning the lyrics and song writing, I never get tired writing up songs that may seem pretty ugly, crude by title, ‘old school’ by nature. The album blows you away completely! And No surprise since I am one who chooses to make the world a hellish place for everyone. So f**kin’ beware!

6-Salvador Dalí said: Without my enemies I would not be what I am. The lyrics and art of Impiety and Devouror intend to demystify any religious postulate, in a hypothetical plane if religion had not existed, what other enemy would be a target of war for you in this world?

Goat- I would say politicians and shoddy/deceptive governance of countries and communities sicken me. It’s lies upon lies that have deceived millions centuries on and one that will continue to do so. Oppression, slavery, persecution and genocide still exist rampant. Histories have been forged and re-written the way the victor wills it. Sure thing and sad reality – cash is king. Humankind have progressed, but today far too many are blinded by wealth and power and morals are washed down the gutter. It’s either you walk their way or you perish. This s**t is deep. So let’s keep it at that just to answer briefly.

7- The illustrations of the Impiety and Devouror albums represents: Goats, Demons and other infernal creatures acting in an iconoclastic way. Do you believe in the existence of such beings or is yours just a subversive form of artistic expression?

Goat- Growing up first reading the works of Aleister Crowley,The Necronomicon, books on Demonology and then Anton Lavey was just the beginning back in highschool. I began to research and reason more thereafter, surrounded by art of demons, hellfire, penta-goats, demonic angels, ghouls, witchcraft, sorcery and the likes. I guess it’s something that has long fascinated, influenced and which resonates perfectly to my soul. It is something I will never outgrow. Where there is light, there is also darkness – and that is where I reside and proudly govern with fury. I am a desecrator, destroyer, one that chooses to tear down that false narrative on creation man has theorized of fantasy and the fear of not knowing what actually lies beyond the grave. 1000 wars have been fought over religion, many innocents have suffered and perished! Pearly Gates or Fiery Inferno? The weakling trembles in uncertainty and fear and he falls prey to deception from bulls**t missionaries and priests. I am sickened by the lies that have brainwashed humankind. This is one reason to walk the path of darkness and chaos, choosing to be a desecrator and ruthlessly tearing down that silly, beautiful vision of heaven into nothing but utter chaos, plumes of smoldering ash and flames. Unnecessary for me to reiterate further…as you, my wise friend, already get the point!

8-The musical exploits of Mighty Impiety have enshrined the band in the annals of this dark art. The passion and authenticity you perpetrated, allowed the band to exist for 32 years. Impiety is currently one of the most well-known and revered bands in the entire underground, thanks to its cult albums and world-wide tours. How can you define your feelings through these 3 decades of blood and honor?

Goat- Incredible journey indeed. A ton of skulls as trophies over decades of unholy conquering – albums, tours etc. Made a ton of really good mates and Legions throughout the world. Also cool to have met so many bands we played with, much respect to these guys who support our shows. Hard at times to keep up with mail but we always look forward to meeting old friends and new ones during tours. Yes, I am thankful we have gotten this far and yes, it was never easy – especially for a band out of wonderful Singapore where there is still to this day, little support for the arts. I guess accomplished is the word when it comes to Mighty IMPIETY and we look forward to what lies ahead – the new album and a couple of good tours/concerts. Never looking far always, we keep it practical, straight from the heart and without fu***ng compromise - Always!!

9-Since the first album Asateerul Awaleen (1996), the band has never had a stable formation, is this because it is difficult to play with you, or can a broader variety of creativity be defined by the ability to always bring in fresh musicians?

Goat- I think that applies to most established bands to be honest and yes, sometimes it’s due to personal reasons. Unforeseen at times, someone leaves to focus on life and I can’t prevent that. Other instances of course will be the fact that not everyone can play extreme metal for decades straight. The human body can only take so much, I speak mainly when it comes to drummers. Injuries, wear and tear are common. Minor instances will be personality disorders, haha, all bands have faced this problem. There will be one or two with personality disorders, letting their ego take control thinking they are the best and all after one or two albums. Who is to say? But IMPIETY have indeed had a fair share of line up changes, teaching new comers is an not easy task. It takes great will and determination and of course plenty of hard work, perseverance and right attitude to be in the band. Not only IMPIETY, but I guess I speak for all established bands.

10-Which are the musicians that have lived up to the Impiety name and with whom have you had bad collaborative experiences?

Goat- Honestly almost all in the various line-ups over all the long years, have contributed well to the band! Personalities may differ but every demon that rehearsed, recorded and toured with are respected and saluted! If there has to be one as***le then I would nominate Andrea Cipriani, this fella from Imposer who back in 2010 who ‘joined’ us. Completely wasted time and effort of me turning up in Trieste, Italy when he was supposed to have learnt songs, and in the end I had to take on guitars and he switched to bass for a tour we did that year. After that tour he was booted and in came Guh Lu and Eskathon who were really solid individuals and cool to work with.

11- Save the Goat: Iblis Exelsi (1994), in addition to having become an acclaimed EP among maniacs, is also famous for what can be read in the booklet, that is; "To all Norwegian "Black-Metal" Clowns, We desecrate your so-called Northern Kingdom & Sky of White Falseness... Afterwhich, We Baptise All of thee in P**s!!!"
What does this thought refer to and what is your consideration today towards the Norwegian scene that seems almost gone, compared to the glory of the past?

Goat- As many know by now that was the result of a spat between ex-bassplayer in Emperor during their ‘Wrath…’ demo years, Mortiss and his blatant racism towards Asians at the time. He must surely remember what a jack ass he was in character and attitude of that era. I made it clear in maybe over 100 interviews since then – I am often and always asked. Most popular question. Ha. So anyways fast forward today it’s all cool and since I have met and talked to so many great bands from Norway and Scandinavia in general, a number of bands and musicians I personally know. Cool guys. The world is small and in the end, we will come face to face. And then they will know where I command and reign. No matter whatever race, culture, social status and background you come from, everyone needs to be respected equally. This is what fu***ng humans sometimes fail to comprehend, we are just dust in the universe. An insignificant speck in comparison to the great vastness out there. So I don’t give a f**k if you are son of a prince, minister, ‘famous’ or feel ‘important’… shove that ego up your arse and respect everyone equally.

12-After the excellent Versus all Gods (2019), are you working on something new?

Goat- Yes half way through the new IMPIETY opus. I am looking forward to recording this 10th full length and I will take my time slightly more as I prefer not to rush. But indeed, early 2023 it will be recorded and released. Really looking forward!

13-The Asian scene has always stood out both for its musical activity and for Die-Hard's dedication to Extreme Metal, you who are considered a mentor, how do you consider the scene today?

Goat- Well the Asian underground has grown and developed well over the years. More support and more cool concerts/gigs etc. Censorship still prevails but not as bad as years ago. There are also more cool labels and distros. So I think it’s been positive and has even the potential to grow even bigger. Hard for me to even keep up with so many bands so I appreciate it a lot when bands write and trade their merch. I thank them for reaching out and building that friendship.

14-Not long ago, Watain and Marduk were banned from playing in Singapore due to the intolerant government, did you have problems expressing your art, given the irreverent content? Censorship is the mother of ignorance, but looking at the facts from another point of view, can this be a sign that Black Metal is considered dangerous and unconventional, and not treated as just simply music?

Goat- Honestly some fans informed me it was a sabotage by someone who envied the promoter and then things got out of control with the national media and especially when church ministries intervened. Mayhem and Marduk had played Singapore previously without problems prior. Yes, a pity for that fiasco with the media blowing everything out of proportion after ‘one person’ filed a letter of complaint to the media authorities! Unbelievable and embarrassing if you ask me for the media authorities to blow everything up to the news network. And then - the blackmetal issue started becoming a topic of worry and ridicule of the population. Anyways, that same period in 2019 the council of churches in Malaysia also banned our show in Kuala Lumpur because news of the blackmetal ban on Watain also spread across to neighboring Malaysia. The domino effect took control. The news media wanted to interview me, I ignored them all. BUT - Devouror managed somehow to play that show to some 50-60 maniacs. Was cool that the promoter Goatlordth Records had the balls to pull this off. No other promoter would have dared. We salute them! Things in the region are under control now, but then again - who is to say? We hope for the best always and a middle finger to these rats because no matter how they try to obstruct - nothing stops us.

15-Two Majesties: An Arrogant Alliance Of Satan's Extreme Elite (2004), the split album between Impiety and the mythical Surrender of Divinity to remember the eternal Avaejee (R.I.P. 2014), killed by a coward. In light of what transpired, do you believe that a similar incident is likely to occur again if individuals in unstable psychological states listen to this extreme music, such as Black Metal?

Goat- To cut a long story short, this nutjob who savagely murdered brother Avaejee was an egomaniacal psycho who claimed he was a real practicing satanist and NOT the guys from Surrender of Divinity who he claimed were ‘fake’ and using satanism as a gimmick/fashion statement. He started out a fan of S.O.Divinity and later on all that changed when he begun to proclaim himself as a real satanist after self studying and then mocking others who claimed to be satanists. Point of the entire mess is yes, a real psycho who silently harbored revenge for over 2 years over a heated exchange of words. Who would have thought?!! It’s hard to ever know what lies in the heart and minds of people you meet. This guy even released a statement and said he would take his own life after the murder, but funny how he eventually surrendered himself to the cops after days on the run.

16-Cold-hymns to Satan Speed metal hell! War metal f**kin HELL!
Goatfather, our interview has come to an end, we wish you another 30 years of insane desecration. Give one last shout out to the entire hell legion that has been true to Impiety's word for all these years.

Goat- Thank you very much and I wish to apologize for keeping you waiting since Slayer put out their record Hell Awaits since 1985! Haha! Big thanks to the Templo Del Diablo team and hope to meet you on the road. Eradicate the False and Stay Elite! Get the new album ‘Diabolos Brigade’ on tape, digi and lp format from Listenable Records and bleed to it. DEATHCULT 666 HAILS!!!

Entrevista: Abhorrence (Brazil)
Português/English

Evocamos a abominação através das palavras de Rangel Arroyo, mente criativa da banda brasileira Abhorrence.
Para todos os fãs de death metal old-school, esta banda (infelizmente extinta) é imperdível!

1-Rangel, bem-vindo ao nosso Bunker. É um grande prazer entrevistá-lo.
Antes de voltarmos no tempo, gostaria de perguntar se você está trabalhando em um novo projeto musical.

RA: Desde que encerrarei as atividades com o ABHORRENCE em 2009, eu fiz participações em albums do Impiety, Hellish God e mais recentemente Wargrinder. Além desses não tenho trabalhado em nenhum projeto ou participação musical. Nos dias de hoje, apenas atualizando meu rig e tocando por hobby como de costume, isso é uma válvula de escape, mas sem compromissos.

2-Vamos falar sobre uma das melhores bandas de death metal, sem dúvida: Abhorrence.
Você se lembra do que te inspirou a criar essa criatura?

RA: Quando decidimos montar o ABHORRENCE, eu e o Fernando tínhamos diversas inspirações, desde as bandas mais antigas tipo Slayer, Kreator e S***m, assim como bandas mais tradicionais do estilo tipo Death, Morbid Angel e Deicide. Porém, fomos diretamente influenciados por Sepultura e Sarcófago daquela época principalmente. Na realidade a idéia basicamente era ter uma banda de Death Metal para tocar da forma mais agressiva possível.

3- Em 1997, a primeira blasfêmia foi forjada com uma demo muito sólida chamada Ascencion. Em 1998, foi relançada pela importante gravadora Wild Records.
Que memórias você tem daquela época?

RA: Foi uma época muito fértil, muitas bandas famosas surgindo, muito história sendo escrita, muitas obras sendo lançadas. Porém, na prática, foi uma época diícil, onde cada conquista tinha um significado maior, se comparado com os dias atuais. Tudo era feito na força de vontade, sem recursos de gravação e de divulgação. Então quando lançamos a demo e rapidamente obtivemos interesse da Wild Rags, ficamos muito empolgados pela oportunidade de divulgação daquele material fora do Brasil. Isso só já foi uma grande conquista para o ABHORRENCE com apenas uma demo de estréia no underground.

4-Com sua primeira demo, sua música era um death metal furioso, rápido e direto!
Como você chegou a esse estilo e quais foram suas principais inspirações?

RA: Como mencionado anteriormente, as inspirações e influências eram diversas, mas certamente Slayer em suma, sempre foi o ato principal. Entendo ser comum para uma estréia, com a primeira gravação, a banda ainda não ter estilo apropriado e asssim sofrer diversas influências no som. No caso do ABHORRENCE, aquele Death Metal mais rápido e furioso, veio mesmo da época que vivíamos, com a escalada dos blastbeats, buscando brutalidade incessante. Dessa forma fomos aprimorando nosso estilo a cada nova tentativa. Se você ouvir em sequencia cada um dos trabalhos, ao final sentirá a necessidade de ouvir mais e mais daquela brutalidade.

5- Evoking the Abomination (2000), na minha opinião, um marco do gênero. 28 minutos de blasfêmia e violência sonora.
Por que você não escreveu nada depois de um álbum desse calibre?

RA: Talvez não exista uma justificativa concreta, foram diversos percausos que a banda passou após o lançamentodo álbum que fragmentaram a nossa jornada. A banda passou por mudança na formação e até encontrarmos um membro a altura para poder se ajuntar a batalha, perdemos shows e oportunidades de tournês. Muitos não sabem dessa história, mas quando reformamos a line up, já estavamos ensaiando em preparação para tour com o Krabathor e Evil Incarnate na América do Norte, quando recebemos a notícia de cancelamento dos shows, devido aos ataques no 11 de Setembro 2001. Assim perdemos o embalo na campanha de divulgação do álbum Evoking no exterior entre 2001 e 2002. Em meio a tudo, a gravadora Evil Vengeance encerrou as atividades. Acabamnos por ficar sem contrato. A Listenable Records que detinha os direitos do álbum na Europa nos cobrava a gravação de um novo trabalho, mas nada concreto aconteceu. Foi quando gravamos o EP Shatterer Merciless em 2004 para mostrar que estávamos aqui, ativos e prontos para um novo acordo para um novo álbum. Após isso, fizemos diversos shows e então, novamente, passamos por baixa na formação. Decidimos tirar um tempo para reestruturação da banda, estudar técnicas e desenvolver melhor o próprio estilo. Foi assim que em 2008 chegamos ao split Two Brarbarian com Impiety pela Agonia Records. Esse trabalho representa a essencia do ABHORRENCE e a extremidade que traríamos para um segundo album carregado no calibre de Evoking, um próximo nível.

6-Na sua opinião, por que este álbum conseguiu resistir à erosão do tempo após 26 anos?

RA: Acho que o álbum carrega a aura, nele está contido uma dose cavalar das características extremas que um álbum de Death Metal essencialmente deve possuir. Vocais agressivos, riffs cortantes e pesados, tonelada de blastbeats, dive bombs e solos shred no estilo clássico. Visual ameaçador e a sonoridade violenta, eu acho que todos esses elementos somatizados fizeram do álbum uma experiência brutal e memorável em cada aspecto.

7- Entre as décadas de 1990 e 2000, o Brasil foi o berço de bandas excepcionais de death metal. Para citar algumas: Krisiun, Rebaelliun, Horned God, Be***al, Abhorrence, etc.
Hoje, parece que essa aura de violência e rebeldia está se dissipando.
Quais são as causas, na sua opinião?

RA: Acho que tudo é cíclico. Tudo acontece de tempos em tempos. A música de forma global não está passando por um momento criativo. Na atualidade, as coisas parecem soar automáticas, produções padronizadas e sonoridade sem feeling. Entendo que isso não é intencional, é algo inconciente que reflete o mundo que nos cerca. No Brasil, antes daquele período de 90´s a 2000, aconteceu dilema parecido, tudo estava engatilhado, haviam dezenas de bandas talentosas trabalhando no underground, até que a cena Death Metal estourou com a ascensão do Krisiun e então com as demais bandas como você citou. Então, certamente neste momento atual existem muitas bandas fazendo seus trabalhos firmes e contribuindo para o Detah Metal com a mesma força e honra de sempre. Realmente existe esse desafio, manter a chama e o legado de violencia sonora característica do Brasil acima de tudo. Certamente ainda veremos grandes bandas surgirem daqui.

8- Em 2009, você participou como guitarrista principal do devastador álbum do Impiety, Terroreign - Apocalyptic Armageddon Command!! Como foi essa experiência?

RA: Após o lançamento do split Two Brarbarians em 2008, Shyaithan me chamou para fazer parte da nova campanha do Impiety. Conversamos algumas idéias e então participei do álbum apenas com a criação e gravação dos solos. Também definimos mudar a afinação para o album soar mais pesado. Então Shyaiyhan me enviava as composições e eu trabalhava em cima das idéias de solos para cada faixa. Quando tudo ficou pronto, gravei aqui no Brasil e mandei os arquivos para ele mixar. Também juntos fizemos apresentações ao vivo no México com os irmãos Edgar e Oscar Gracia na formação. Foi uma expreriência muito loca. Uma honra. Honestamente considero Terroreign o álbum definitivo do Impiety.

9- Rangel, dando um salto ao passado, quais álbuns e guitarristas te guiaram para este universo amaldiçoado do metal?

RA: Sempre admirei trabalhos de duplas de guitarristas como K. K. Downing e Tipton, Kerry King e Hanneman, Chuck Schuldiner e Murphy, Trey Azagthoth e Brunelle, Brian e Eric Hoffman. Também sou admirador de nomes como Gene Palubicki, Eric Rutan, Phil Fasciana e Moises Kolesne para mim também são monstros do Death Metal. Tecnicamente, Malmsteen sempre foi o tipo de guitarra solo que eu gosto de estudar. Em termos de albuns, são incontáveis obras, mas principalmente Reign in Blood, Covenant, Exterminate, Legion, Black Force Domain e I.N.R.I. Quando eu me preparo para compor, são estes os álbuns que alimentam o meu espírito.

10- Nossa entrevista terminou. Obrigado pela oportunidade!
Encerre a entrevista com uma última mensagem!

RA: Obrigado pelo apoio de sempre. Agradeço pelo chamado e a participação. Prazer atender e voltar a falar sobre música extrema após tantos anos de retiro. Recentemente montei as páginas nas redes sociais para publicação de imagens, mercandise e divulgação de qualquer novidade que seja. A todos interessados sigam e confiram o conteúdo oficial. Fico exaltado pela quantidade de apoio que sempre recebi dos maníacos em Death Metal ao redor do mundo. Eles nunca cessam! Força e honra!! Um salve a todos!!!

English

We evoke abomination through the words of Rangel Arroyo, the creative mind behind the Brazilian band Abhorrence.
For all fans of old-school death metal, this (sadly defunct) band is a must-hear!

1- Rangel, welcome to our Bunker. It's a great pleasure to interview you.
Before we go back in time, I'd like to ask if you're working on a new musical project.

RA: Since I ended my activities with ABHORRENCE in 2009, I've participated in albums by Impiety, Hellish God, and more recently Wargrinder. Besides those, I haven't been working on any other musical projects or collaborations. Nowadays, I'm just updating my rig and playing as a hobby as usual; it's an escape, but without commitments.

2- Let's talk about one of the best death metal bands, without a doubt: Abhorrence.
Do you remember what inspired you to create this creature?

RA: When we decided to form ABHORRENCE, Fernando and I had several inspirations, from older bands like Slayer, Kreator, and S***m, as well as more traditional bands of the style like Death, Morbid Angel, and Deicide. However, we were directly influenced by Sepultura and Sarcófago from that era, mainly. In reality, the basic idea was to have a Death Metal band that played as aggressively as possible.

3- In 1997, the first blasphemy was forged with a very solid demo called Ascension. In 1998, it was re-released by the important label Wild Records. What memories do you have of that time?

RA: It was a very fertile time, many famous bands emerging, a lot of history being written, many works being released. However, in practice, it was a difficult time, where each achievement had a greater significance compared to today. Everything was done through sheer willpower, without recording or promotional resources. So when we released the demo and quickly gained interest from Wild Rags, we were very excited about the opportunity to promote that material outside of Brazil. That alone was a great achievement for ABHORRENCE with just a debut demo in the underground.

4- With your first demo, your music was furious, fast, and direct death metal! How did you arrive at this style and what were your main inspirations?

RA: As mentioned before, the inspirations and influences were diverse, but certainly Slayer, in short, was always the main act. I understand it's common for a debut, with the first recording, for the band not yet to have an appropriate style and thus suffer various influences on the sound. In the case of ABHORRENCE, that faster and more furious Death Metal really came from the time we were living in, with the rise of blastbeats, seeking relentless brutality. In this way, we refined our style with each new attempt. If you listen to each of the works in sequence, at the end you will feel the need to hear more and more of that brutality.

5- Evoking the Abomination (2000), in my opinion, a landmark of the genre. 28 minutes of blasphemy and sonic violence.
Why didn't you write anything after an album of that caliber?

RA: Perhaps there isn't a concrete justification; there were several setbacks the band went through after the album's release that fragmented our journey. The band went through lineup changes, and until we found a suitable member to join the battle, we lost shows and tour opportunities. Many don't know this story, but when we reformed the lineup, we were already rehearsing in preparation for a tour with Krabathor and Evil Incarnate in North America when we received the news of the shows' cancellation due to the attacks on September 11, 2001.
Thus, we lost momentum in the promotional campaign for the album Evoking abroad between 2001 and 2002. In the midst of all this, the Evil Vengeance label ceased operations. We ended up without a contract. Listenable Records, which held the rights to the album in Europe, pressured us to record a new work, but nothing concrete happened. That's when we recorded the EP Shatterer Merciless in 2004 to show that we were still active and ready for a new deal for a new album. After that, we played several shows and then, again, experienced a change in the lineup. We decided to take some time to restructure the band, study techniques, and further develop our own style. That's how, in 2008, we arrived at the split Two Barbarian with Impiety on Agonia Records. This work represents the essence of ABHORRENCE and the extreme level we would bring to a second album of the same caliber as Evoking, a next level.

6- In your opinion, why has this album managed to withstand the test of time after 26 years?

RA: I think the album carries an aura; it contains a massive dose of the extreme characteristics that a Death Metal album should essentially possess. Aggressive vocals, sharp and heavy riffs, tons of blastbeats, dive bombs, and classic-style shred solos. A menacing visual style and a violent sound—I think all these elements combined made the album a brutal and memorable experience in every aspect.

7- Between the 1990s and 2000s, Brazil was the birthplace of exceptional death metal bands. To name a few: Krisiun, Rebaelliun, Horned God, Be***al, Abhorrence, etc. Today, it seems that this aura of violence and rebellion is dissipating.
What are the causes, in your opinion?

RA: I think everything is cyclical. Everything happens from time to time. Music globally is not going through a creative moment. Currently, things seem to sound automatic, standardized productions and a sound without feeling. I understand that this is not intentional, it is something unconscious that reflects the world around us. In Brazil, before that period from the 90s to 2000, a similar dilemma occurred, everything was in motion, there were dozens of talented bands working in the underground, until the Death Metal scene exploded with the rise of Krisiun and then with the other bands as you mentioned. So, certainly at this current moment there are many bands doing their work firmly and contributing to Death Metal with the same strength and honor as always. There really is this challenge: to keep the flame and legacy of sonic violence characteristic of Brazil alive above all else. We will certainly still see great bands emerge from here.

8- In 2009, you participated as lead guitarist on Impiety's devastating album, Terroreign - Apocalyptic Armageddon Command!!
What was that experience like?

RA: After the release of the split Two Barbarians in 2008, Shyaithan called me to be part of Impiety's new campaign. We discussed some ideas and then I participated in the album only by creating and recording the solos. We also decided to change the tuning to make the album sound heavier. So Shyaithan would send me the compositions and I would work on the solo ideas for each track. When everything was ready, I recorded here in Brazil and sent the files to him to mix. We also did live performances together in Mexico with the brothers Edgar and Oscar Gracia in the lineup. It was a very crazy experience. An honor. I honestly consider Terroreign the definitive Impiety album.

9- Rangel, jumping into the past, which albums and guitarists guided you to this cursed universe of metal?

RA: I've always admired the work of guitar duos like K.K. Downing and Tipton, Kerry King and Hanneman, Chuck Schuldiner and Murphy, Trey Azagthoth and Brunelle, Brian and Eric Hoffman. I also admire names like Gene Palubicki, Eric Rutan, Phil Fasciana, and Moises Kolesne; for me, they are also monsters of Death Metal. Technically, Malmsteen has always been the type of guitar solo I like to study. In terms of albums, there are countless works, but mainly Reign in Blood, Covenant, Exterminate, Legion, Black Force Domain, and I.N.R.I. When I prepare to compose, these are the albums that feed my spirit.

10- Our interview has ended. Thank you for the opportunity!
End the interview with one last message!

RA: Thank you for your continued support. I appreciate the invitation and your participation. It's a pleasure to speak about extreme music again after so many years of retreat. I recently created the pages on social media to publish images, merchandise, and announce any news. Everyone interested can follow and check out the official content. I am overwhelmed by the amount of support I have always received from Death Metal maniacs around the world.
They never stop! Strength and honor!! A salute to all!!!
