<\/p>\n\n\n\nFor black and thrash metal fans, the latest split EP featuring Atlanta\u2019s Sadistic Ritual and
Vancouver\u2019s own Wormwitch couldn\u2019t have come at a better time. Released by underground
label, Boris Records, it\u2019s the three tracks from the former that are sure to blow minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while the quartet are not yet a household name on the touring circuit, the songs are the
perfect precursor to the band\u2019s forthcoming record on Prosthetic Records. Already darlings
of Decibel Magazine, the new music is sure to draw comparisons to such disparate acts as
Naglfar, latter era Satyricon, Aura Noir, and even Sodom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Longtime fans will remember the band issued \u2018The Enigma, Boundless\u2019 over two years which
solidified the group as a formidable force both in the studio and on the live front. And while
many different press outlets have scrambled to pigeonhole the band\u2019s sound \u2013 some call it
\u201cpsychedelic thrash\u201d even \u2013 what\u2019s most evident is the group\u2019s songs on the nine-song platter
transform the listener to another dimension. Starting with the plodding rhythms of the lead
track, \u201cEnd Of All Roads,\u201d there is no shortage of insane riffs and killer leads. Other standout
tracks include \u201cMurmur,\u201d \u201cArea Denial,\u201d and \u201craving Voyeurism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today the band is rounded out by guitarist \/vocalist Charlie Southern, guitarist \/ producer
Alex Parra, bassist \/ vocalist LaMar George, and drummer Joe Sweat.
We caught up with Alex as he was preparing to hit the road for a US tour that will take them
from San Diego, California on May 16th to the tour\u2019s inevitable closer in Brooklyn, New York
on June 8th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

your longevity as an underground metal band?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knife\u2019 EP. Ever since the band got together, we\u2019ve been through our ups and downs with
members changes but never had a good enough reason to split the band up. Today, Charlie
writes the majority of the music. I produce the albums and add my ideas and solos during
that stage. It\u2019s has been that way for the last nine years and is still going strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
from that session that weren\u2019t released? The production is absolutely killer. Tell us about who ran the boards and recording process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
records. The songs are ideas we had shortly after the release of \u2018The Enigma, Boundless.\u2019 It\u2019s
very much a continuation of the concepts from that record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
releasing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
resume right after this tour with Masacre. Prosthetic Records will be releasing the next full-
length album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you guys do to save money on tours in smaller venues?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on it. The show guarantees insure we have the gas covered getting from venue to venue, but
the rest is dependent on merch sales. Other ways we save money is by having bunk beds in
our van to save on hotel rooms. We try to only get a room when we need one. It is a lot of
planning and thinking ahead to pull of a tour successfully these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
back in latter 2024? How did the Masacre tour come about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
fans overseas so hopefully one day. It is a much bigger risk to tour over there for US bands so
it depends on a lot of conditions. The Masacre tour was put together by our booking agent,
Amos Rifkin under Heavy Talent, so it was not hard to add us to the tour as we have been
looking for the right tour to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
than others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
share members with Vimur, a black metal band that l recently completed work on their
fourth album. Charlie also plays in Alabama\u2019s Ectovoid which also has a new album I am
working on. It\u2019s really good death metal. I play in Paladin a power\/thrash band that focuses
on infectious riffs, solos, and soaring vocals. Definitely real Guitar Hero kinda stuff.
Moonlust, Cemetery Filth, Turn Cold, Cloak, Cauldron Born, Metaphobic, and Shepherds ov
the Veil are all bands we\u2019re close friends and associated with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/capitalchaostv.files.wordpress.com\/2024\/05\/masacre-sadistic-ritual.jpg?w=662&h=1024\")
