A Statement from Matt "Skitz" Sanders:

"After nearly four decades behind the kit, countless shows around the world, and a lifetime of unforgettable memories, I have made the difficult decision to retire from playing live.

This isn’t a decision I’ve taken lightly – it’s something I’ve been contemplating over the past year for many personal and professional reasons.

Drumming has been my life’s passion, and the journey it has taken me on is something I could never have imagined.
From the sweat-soaked stages of underground venues to the massive festivals, I’ve been privileged to share this wild ride with incredible bandmates, loyal fans, and a thriving community that has supported me every step of the way.

The time has come, however, for me to step back and hang up the drumsticks when it comes to live performances. While I may no longer be behind the kit on stage, my love for music and the extreme metal scene remains as strong as ever.

To everyone who has come to a show, banged their heads, or shared this journey with me: thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your energy and support have made it all worthwhile. This isn’t goodbye – just a new chapter.

Stay Brutal.
Support the Underground.
Murder the fxckin' mainstream.

Stay tuned for more info for my final ever show."

From the festering darkness of Australia’s metal underground, Dreaming Death rises to unleash Sinister Minister, a five-track maelstrom of unrelenting, classic Death Metal.

Forged in the viscous depths of ancient matter and baptized in the fumes of primeval possession, this debut EP is a grotesque homage to the unholy spirits of '80s and '90s Death Thrash.

It is an offering to the eldritch gods of metal, delivered with reverence but unafraid to channel their essence and mutate its form and fury, creating a soundscape that is both haunted and utterly alive.

This is Death Metal that claws at the edges of orthodoxy, dragging you into swirling bowels of morbid, thrash-fueled riffs, pounding drums, and haunting atmospheres.

The Culprits:
Pahl Hodgson - Guitar & Vocals
Ross Duncan - Bass & Vocals
Matt ‘Skitz’ Sanders Blast Abyss - Necro-Percussion

It was with great pleasure to support Triumph Of Death & meet with the Dark Master of Satanic ceremonies, a man who has been a great inspiration to me for many decades now and continues to with his morbid artistic vision, Mr Tom G. Warrior!!

The Lycanthropic Moon was full and the blood was pumping at the Gov in Adelaide last night - 18/8!! Triumph of Death laid Adelaide to waste with an amazing force of true old school demonic grit!!

Much gratitude to Doug/Amabelle - Hardline Media & crew for having Diabolic Rites play support, and to the metal maniacs who were there to see us open the show, Thankyou.

See you next time!!! 🤘

In late February/March I had the absolute pleasure of smashing the skins for New Zealand's Legendary Lord's of Speed Metal, the mighty Stalker - Speed Metal!!

I am truly grateful to Chris & Dave for the invite and enjoyed the tour madness!!

It was a great chance to play some blistering 80's style thrash metal, which is what I grew up with and still love to this day!!

Thanks to my great mate Anthony YOUR MATE Bookings for making this all possible, it's greatly appreciated!!

And to all the headbangers, thankyou for coming to the shows & supporting the band!!

Go & see STÄLKER next time they plunder your city & get an evil dose of old school metal kaos!!!
