Effortlessly mixing and matching melodeath, black metal and doom for the last 20+ years, Swedish powerhouse Draconian has a new weapon in their melodic arsenal in the form of vocalist Heike Langhans.

A battle for the ages. Who ya got?

We like to think you guys just innately understand all the insane sub-subgenres we throw at the wall, but “powerviolent prog ‘n’ roll”  may require actually pressing play.

They count James Hetfield, Phil Anselmo, Fenriz and Nergal among their fans. No pressure, right? Not for cloaked Swedish occultists Ghost, who should only expand their global dominance with third album Meliora. 

Six months ago, Google mandated that we remove the hate speech contained in comments for interviews that editor-in-chief Albert Mudrian and staffer Justin Norton conducted with (respectively) Inquisition (May 1, 2014) and Daniel Gallant (May 5, 2014). At the time, we were unable to delete those comments, so we simply took the interviews down. Now we’re able to better moderate the Deciblog, so here are the interviews as they were originally printed.

The Dinosaur Jr shredder and Witch founder was part of seminal proto-grind band Deep Wound, and in that a critical historical figure in Choosing Death.
