An interview of Kamal Khalil from Deathless Anguish,a one man old school deathmetal band from Saudi Arabia :"it really describes what I want to say in this album. That uncle sam got the earth in his American flag bag and still ordering his army to kill more"

We'd like you to give us a fast overview about your band and what style you play?
Well deathless anguish is a one man band that plays death metal with some thrash and old school death/grind stuff.

Can you tell us about your music influences?
Mostly cannibal corpse, morbid angel, slayer, napalm death, carcass, deicide, dying fetus, disgorge, sacred Reich all these bands are musically influenced me except for napalm death and sacred reich even lyrically.

What are your lyrics about?
It is all about political situation that we live in the mid-east. How unfair it is and how those rich people can control our fate and it also against atheism.

Give us some info about your band members?
Well currently no members it is only one man band but I hope to get and I'm looking for members but it is still hard to find ones.

Give us some info about your cd "World Domination"?
World domination got 5 songs "sinner", "world domination", "revolutionary carnage", "sick soul" and "kingdom of hypocrisy" in "sinner" and "sick soul" I talked about people who think that they know the truth and found the answers of everything. "Revolutionary carnage" and "world domination" are about the American domination and their control on our lands. "Kingdom of hypocrisy" talks about our leaders and how they fuck up everything and take everything and still lying to us and take religion and loyalty as a shield.

Where did you record your album?
At home using PC software, 10 watt amp, guitar, bass and electronic drums.
Any upcoming album, in the near future?
Yeah actually I'm working on the second demo these days. It is called (BILLEGERNCY) and it is totally different from world domination. It will sound different and another style which is kind death/grind only and way faster.

What is your favorite band and album?
Well I like many bands I can't mention them all in here but the ones I really like would be cannibal corpse, nile, morbid angel, dying fetus, napalm death, carcass, pantera, slayer, old sepultura, destruction, sacred Reich, testament etc…

For albums I'd go for:
Suffocation - despise the sun.
Cannibal corpse - vile.
Cannibal corpse - butchered at birth.
Slayer - region in blood.
Napalm death - death by manipulation.
Carcass - neuroticism descanting the insalubrious.
Sacred reich - independent
And many more .

Tell us, why you choose this cd cover for your album?
Coz it really describes what I want to say in this album. That uncle sam got the earth in his American flag bag and still ordering his army to kill more.

Lets talk about the situations in the Arabian country; I think that the most wrong the citizens in the Arabian country are mute, also we must change our self to change everything and back to our religion to be better then this time, what you think?
Well this is right. One of the biggest problems that we have these days in our world is hypocrites and people who deny their origins which really lead us to stop taking care of our lands and kill our loyalty to our soil. They successed in diverting the people to things that really mean nothing but just to keep them busy with that.

How's the metal scene in the country? Can you recommend us any band?
It is mostly dead. But still some bands are trying to make something. I heard about lots of bands all over Saudi but u know we can't reach'em all but from what I know so far I would recommend sound or buy which is non-metal band. They play grunge but they are the most serious band I ever seen in Saudi.

Tell us about the concert in your country and did you perform in any concert?
Well we don't have concerts as concerts that you know. Stages and large areas and stuff like that. We make underground small gigs in farms or something like that. And we invite the people we know so they can bring other metal heads that they know. I performed once with the x-band (wry wreathe)

(You can read the interview in the site with killer zone (morocco) and esodic (Jordan) and what happened with them…
As I see in this time the Arabian metal it grow up, but the bad situation let's us down, how you can view it?
Well I never had problems of that kind as long as I'm not disturbing the public. But I heard a lot about other bros. from other countries got that and this is stupid in my opinion I mean those people really don't know what metal is all about. They all think that it is only about Satanism which is totally wrong. I guess we need to let these people know what we talk about and what it is about.

What you think about the idea to make Arabian metal festival?
This is one of my dreams man. I really like this idea as long as I believe that bands from our areas must be more cooperated.

Is there any band you would like to play with as a support act?
Cannibal corpse and napalm death.

Message for the Arab underground?
Stay heavy and keep it metal. You got great talents and with some luck we will rise.

Thanks for the interview, wish you the good luck…
Thank you too for this chance and thanks for your support to the underground scene in this area. I wish the best for your site.
