On the day of the release of their debut album, ‘Sepulchral Torment’, and minutes before they hit the stage for their debut hometown show, Planet Mosh’s Ireland editor sat down with Andrew and Dave, guitarist and vocalist respectively with Belfast based death metallers Rex Shachath.
Battling against the background noise of support band The Obscene Machine soundchecking at the other end of the room, we talked about how the band came about their influences and their take on the current state of the Northern Ireland metal scene…
