…tories. I have been playing World of Warcraft for a long time. I think its coming up on its 20th anniversary this year. I’ve been playing for probably 18 years. Games like Skyrim and those I really like. But I’m also a fan of trading card games like Magic: The Gathering. It’s one of my favorites. I played for over 10 years, but not anymore on a professional level because it requires a lot of money to play it competitively. But I’m really enjoying…

Complexity in technicality and composition shines in the tensely engaging “Atto quarto, the Horror Paradox,” with guitarist Enrico Schettino showcasing some of his finest creative juices.

…t of material – and where do you see the biggest differences in this album compared to Despondent Death from 2015 and the follow-up Abhorrent Disease released in 2019? Perez: Defiance was written in a very different way. First of all, the pandemic happened, so everyone had the time to work on music. Especially during 2020, we had a lot of time to do what we love, we got to develop everything way more, these riffs and songs into advanced music. We…

Bask in the natural prowess present in these nine tracks (shorter instrumentals “Morituri Te Salutant” and “A Mourning in August” open/close the record), followers of culturally motivating riffs, larger than life vocal choirs, as well as galloping, kick ass tempo work will find plenty to treasure here.

…“Bent On Disaster” encapsulates that feeling perfectly. Really the record comes together almost seamlessly. My one complaint is the intro track “Of Ruin”. I’m not a fan of these at all – something that should be taken into consideration in the future. But that’s a minor blemish on an otherwise very strong Wounds album, so enjoy!

We were right there for that. There’s a local band called Doomriders, and they were big. We would go see them anywhere, they opened up that Sleep show in 2011. I felt like seeing Sleep that day, we were watching the beginning of this wave that went on to where we are now. That…
