Interview by Jason Williams

Maryland death metal mainstays Dying Fetus have been slaying masses across North America for the past four weeks and are now nearing the last rites of this headline tour of theirs, with support from Exhumed, Abiotic and Rivers Of Nihil. This is still a continuation of the touring cycle to promote their latest album ‘Reign Supreme’ which came out via Relapse Records in mid-2012. Dying Fetus played a crushing show at the Constellation Room in Santa Ana on October 15, and our writer Jason Williams not only attended and reviewed the show but also caught up with drummer Trey Williams at the start of the evening. Read the conversation below along with a taste of some latest Dying Fetus music, and use the links at the bottom to check out Dying Fetus on the web or to read a review of the Santa Ana show.

 Warhound is a death metal quartet based out of Dhaka, Bangladesh which started out in 2012. Members of this band originally started out under the name Carnage in 2005 but that band split up in 2008, and Warhound was born from its ashes four years later. This is a very young entity as of now, with only an EP called ‘Ominous Death Carnage’ under their belts, but it’s a set of tunes that truly justify and represent the title of the EP, and through the seven songs on this 25-minute EP, the band shows plenty of menace and promise for the years to come. But as of now, they are preparing to play the upcoming ‘Banish The Posers’ Fest in their hometown on November 16th. A gig put together by local promoters Primitive Invocation, this gig is all set to bring together the best of Bangladeshi underground extreme metal with bands from Malaysia, Thailand and India. A few days ago, I caught up with the band to discuss their participation in this fest, their history and lots more. Read the conversation below, along with a taste of their music. If you’re in Dhaka, make sure you catch Warhound at the gig later this month. And for extreme metal fans elsewhere, treat this as an introduction to a band that you might enjoy checking out. Continue reading “In Conversation With Bangladeshi Death Metal Band Warhound”

Modern progressive metal band Periphery are currently on the ‘This Tour Is Personal’ North American headline tour, with support acts Born Of Osiris, Dead Letter Circus and Twelve Foot Ninja. A highly active touring outfit, they were on the Summer Slaughter trek this year as well, and prior to that they toured with Deftones. Approaching the end of the cycle for their sophomore album, they are now getting ready to start work on the next album.  They brought their ‘personal’ tour to the Roxy in West Hollywood last night, and before the show I caught up with bassist Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood for a chat about touring, the next album, the band’s stage setup, the recent India show, and more.
