-ei randyl, how are things going? thanxxx for accepting this interview
Hell-O Kenneth, before I go further I would like to apologize it took me ages before I started answering these questions. I’m a hell of lazy big fat motherfucker hahaha!!! Things are okay with us man, we’ve been very busy these past few months and still got a lot of shits to do. I just finished my school I enrolled a short term course and now just waiting for the result of my assessment. Tristan and Jeff go to work 8-5 by the day and sometimes night shift. Jayquin? He’s a fucking house bum. Besides that, we still manage to rehearse and find time to write new shits, play live, drink, drugs, and girls.
-how is the progress of DFTW? any new projects coming?

We have an upcoming 5way split with Cumbeast (Finland USA
-I've heard that you are currently working a 5 way split, is it true and anything you can share with us about this said split?
Actually, the split will be unleashed anytime soon from now. As I mentioned, on the splits are Defleshuary
Killings www.myspace.com/heinouskillings , Decrepit womb www.myspace.com/decrepitwomb, and us Down from the wound www.myspace.com/downfromthewound . Originally it was a four way that turned 5way. We took replacement for the band Torsofuck. They weren’t able to finish their materials for the split and unfortunately time has wasted and couldn’t deliver any of their materials for the release. The label together with Cumbeast and Defelshuary decided to ask other bands that are interested to join. Rick of Defleshuary contacted me and asked if we could deliver our shits and be part of the said split, we said yes immediately. Heinous Killings is the latest addition delivering their 3 promo tracks making it 5way to complete the most devastating split of the year. It should be out by September and despite all the delays encountered this release has gone through, I think it’ll be all worth the wait. It’ll be out under Pathologically Explicit Recordings (Spain
-under what label will this be release and what are the other four bands signed for this split?
It’ll be out under Pathologically Explicit Recordings (Spain
-when will this be release?
Don’t have exact date for the release but it’ll be out very very soon.
-for the benefit of some readers, can you share us the history behind DFTW? also tell us what are the influences behind your pit devastating music. both musical and non-musical
-for the benefit of some readers, can you share us the history behind DFTW? also tell us what are the influences behind your pit devastating music. both musical and non-musical
The band was formed back in 2001 with original members Jeff on guitars, Jantzen on Bass, Nino on Vocals and me Randyl on drums. The band undergo to a lot of lineup changes until gained stability by 2007 with Jeff on guitars, Randyl on drums, Tristan on vocals and Jayquin on bass. The band has three demos out, two splits out, one full length album and now we have an upcoming 5way split cd coming out very soon.
We are heavily influenced by brutal death metal bands like Suffocation, Disgorge, Devourment, Decrepit Birth, Disavowed and many more. As for non-musical influences, spiritual, hypocrites, church, religion are basically the main topics that keeps us writing our lyrics.
-I've seen you play live at Rural Carnage (where I also bought my 1st DFTW logo shirt). You where 3 sickos doing the massive kill then after that I saw your photos at Hymns of Disembowelment II, the missing piece was filled in. so what made you decide to get a bassist?
The first bassist left the band to pursue a non-musical direction. The second bassist wasn’t able to make it with us on rehearsals and on writing new materials that’s why we decided to kick his ass off the band. We remain as a three piece band for a while until the latest addition. We always wanted to have a bassist it’s just that we cannot find a perfect one that fits on the missing slot.
-you had a tour in
It was one of a hell experience bro, that’s the first time we played outside the country. The show went very well we enjoyed watching the opening acts, hanging out with some thai metal heads, we enjoyed the entire atmosphere in the venue, as well as the crowd and the extreme pit during our set. I got an unforgettable disembowelment experience back in Thailand Bangkok
-are you satisfied with the whole tour? From the show itself and to the other things that goes in between with it?
Very well satisfied in every way bro!!!
-you've released your first FL under Sevared Records. Are you satisfied with its whole out-CUM. Also congrats with that material just got my copy last month from a friend of mine who has a spare copy. haha
Thanks bro, lucky that you have one. I wasn’t able to keep a piece for myself it was sold out and the one that I have as my personal copy I gave it to a special friend. Anyway, back to the question, it was our first professional studio recording and everything was like, hell yeah the production is a lot more better compare to our previous recording, so we we’re like fucking satisfied and happy with the entire production even though it was recorded live. But as we keep on listening to the entire cd we noticed and realized that it could have been better if we have sufficient fund for the mixing and mastering. Still good though, we got a new recording and it’s not a live process anymore. It has a huge difference between the first studio recording, production wise. As far as the distribution is concerned, yes we are very satisfied. Sevared Records did a pretty good job on spreading our shit. In fact, the cd is sold out I don’t know if Sevared will re-press some copies again, I hope they will.
Desecravity Gig-DFTW Set
-Aside from the FL "Agony Through Rituals of Self Purification" have you released any other material? if yes can you tell us something about each material. At least a short background for each title.

5-way split with (Cumbeast, Defleshuary, Heinous Killings, Decrepit womb, Down from the wound) Pathologically Explicit Recordings (coming out 2009)
-Aside from all those labels that you've worked with, are there any specific label that you wish to work with? why?
Sevared and Pathologically Explicit Recordings are two of the best labels out there that supports underground bands, and it really feels great to work with the guys behind it. There is no particular label that we wanted to work with. We can work with labels that are willing to work with us. Depends on the deal off course, hahaha!!!
-As I was reading your lyrics, I've noticed that most tracks tackles about the topics regarding religious bullshits and hypocritic religious beliefs w/c is quite unique for BDM bands now a days. so how does the writing go on process and how long does it take to finish a single track?

Nothing unusual though, Jeff creates the guitar riffs first and we arrange it until we are satisfied with it. Vocals will be incorporated after the music has been perfectly mastered. It depends on our mood before we finished a single track, sometimes a week, a month or more.
