Interview with Progressive Death Metal Band Sadist (2025)
In the early days of death metal, when it was a hybrid of heavy metal and hardcore punk, it was widely viewed as technically incompetent especially by the jazz, rock, blues, and emo punk audience that was dominating record stores at the time. A few death metal bands set out to prove them all wrong, including Sadist, who kindly agreed to an interview for our readers, many of whom are Sadist fans.

Proscriptor McGovern’s Apsû – Proscriptor McGovern’s Apsû (2021)
The organization that was Absu before transsexualism destroyed it has been steadily moving away from songs in its works after The Third Storm Of Cythrául, with a brief jaunt into its influences with In The Eyes Of Ioldánach, but at this point it has become merely a riff carnival.
