Sanguinary Verdict - Interview 2026

Colombia's mighty blasting brutal death metal four-piece, Sanguinary Verdict, has their full length album recorded, mixed, ( Iron Hand Audio ) and ready to release via New Standard Elite soon.                                              It will be called "Brute Force Supremacy".  

We caught up with the band a little bit below:

Hello!  Who are you?  Who are all of the members of Sanguinary Verdict?

Hello, thank you again for your incredible work and support, I am Sebastian, the vocalist.  Sanguinary Verdict has maintained all of the original members!

Alberto M

Sebastian G

Nadher T

Josheph L

Are all of you in Colombia?

Currently we are all located in the United States

I kind of feel like SV has gone under the radar for a lot of people for some reason.  Can you tell us the whole story of the band?  From the very beginning, to where we are today, with a new full-length coming out soon!

Well, the band was really born when Beto and Sebastián met in Colombia then we recorded what was our first album Mastery of The Killing Craft without thinking about any shows since the band was divided into two countries each one had and still has other projects.

After years Sebastian and Beto decided to settle in the United States.

Our full album is done, and in a few days will have a preview song released,  also what we never thought could happen will begin to take shape with different shows in the state of New York being planned!

So far, with Mastery of The Killing Craft (2023), how would you describe Sanguinary Verdict's sound?

We describe our sound as fast and dirty and some technique

Would you say that sound has changed much on the upcoming album?

It has and it will be notorious, it is already something much more elaborate by the whole band, it will be something more technical and fast, be prepared, it is something totally brutal !!!

Are you still with New Standard Elite?

Yes absolutely !!!

Lyrically, the songs on killing craft were all about murder, killing, violence.  Does the new album stick with those themes?

Taken from Grand Arsenal of Gore:

drilling through the sockets of what once were eyes
body parts to random pieces by the axe
many lacerations made with sharpened chainsaw
you will not survive much longer
screams are heard but well ignored
your life is held with no regard
every tool is utilized

your intestines shoveled out
genitals are set aflame
pain will be your last sensation

i kept this place a slaughterhouse
for those who dare to trespass
each and every one become
experiments for testing
none have survived my trials of death
the pain far too great
for humans to fathom
after the carnage is fully complete
i learn what to do with the next one in line

Yes we continue with this type of theme but we add something even darker!!!

The artwork for Mastery was done by Mottla, and was amazing!  Who is doing the art for the new album?  Can you tell us anything about it?

Mottla's work has always been incredible!  The new album will have something more specific in terms of art, designed by Arda Lepha who has been working with various bands around the world.  He has done an incredible job.

The Colombian scene is known to produce some of the nastiest, filthiest brutal blasty BDM, What are some bands from Colombia that we should be keeping our ears perked up for?

Of course! Colombia has had strong exponents in brutal death and now there are incredible new and experienced bands such as Morgues, Ripping Flesh, Basatan, Suppuration, Decarabion, Exhaurity, Imperial Execration etc... many that I am not naming just because they have had a fairly extensive career.

Thank Sebastian and SV for your time!!  We can hardly wait for the new release!!!

Support the band !!

SANGUINARY VERDICT

NEW STANDARD ELITE

Hypertrichosis - Interview 2026

From the underground depths of Belarus emerges Hypertrichosis, a band rooted firmly in the traditions of slamming brutal death metal. Delivering pummeling riffs, guttural vocals, and an atmosphere steeped in hatred and apathy, their sound doesn’t aim to reinvent the genre—but rather to embody it in its purest, most punishing form. Drawing from the genre’s established blueprint, Hypertrichosis leans into raw aggression and heaviness without compromise. We caught up with the band to talk about their formation, influences, and their place within the scene.  Enjoy!

Yo!  Who are we talking to and what do you do in Hypertrichosis?

Hey man! My name is Alexey, I’m the vocalist and founder of Hypertrichosis.

Can you tell us all the member and their ages?

At the moment we have 3 members: Dmitry plays guitar, he’s 20; Pavel plays drums, he’s 18; and I’m Alexey, the vocalist, I’m 23.

What is the story of the band?  How did Hypertrichosis get started?

A long time ago, back in 2014, I got into heavy music and wanted to start a band, but nothing really worked out. I put Hypertrichosis together a little over half a year ago, but I couldn’t decide on a genre at first. Originally, I wanted to play deathcore, but it just didn’t feel right—I wasn’t enjoying it.

I have a good friend from the band Venom Symbiote who introduced me to slamming brutal death metal around 2020. At first, I didn’t like it at all—I didn’t get the point. It just sounded like random gutturals and one or two riffs per track… basically, I didn’t like it whatsoever.

But about five years later, I came back to the genre and decided this is exactly what I wanted to do. As usual, I put a band together, but it fell apart in a pretty funny way. I invited a second guitarist, and the first guitarist suddenly decided he wasn’t needed and just left without explanation. Then, about three days later, the bassist left too—he couldn’t keep up with the level and didn’t like the speed.  That left just two of us, and then guitarist Dmitry brought in his friend Pavel on drums, and that’s when we really started working on the album.

Hypertrichosis is a rare condition characterized by excessive hair growth anywhere on the body.  How did the band members choose this name?

That’s a really good question. I (Alexey) came up with the name. I wanted something that was both kind of funny but also serious at the same time. I spent a long time thinking about it—I didn’t want a typical name like “torn anus” or something like that so I chose something more unique, connected to a medical condition.

Are any of the band member in other bands or projects?

At the moment, only Dmitry and Pavel are involved in another project together—they play death metal as a duo. You can find them on Spotify; the band is called Octogenisis.

Who created your logo?

The logo was created by Alexander Infection.

Kirill Decay Art has done your album art.  How did you get to work with him?  How was that experience?

We’ve known Kirill for a long time, and I highly recommend him as an artist. Everything came together pretty quickly—I told him I wanted torture, maniacs, and lots of blood, and within a week, the artwork was done.

What is the Russian scene like these days?

We’re guys from Belarus. As for our local scene, there are quite a lot of bands that could achieve great results in the future. Some of the more well-known Belarusian bands are Extermination Dismemberment, Venom Symbiote, and Porphyria.

There are also many up-and-coming bands like Dendrobium, Makauri Pie, and our genre brothers ManGore, and many more.

There haven’t been many shows lately—mostly only Belarusian bands are playing. There’s a lot of black metal, hardcore, and other genres, but not many bands break out internationally; most stay within the country. Still, we play just as well as bands from other countries.

How would you describe Hypertrichosis's music?

I’d describe our music as dark, full of hatred and despair.  Since childhood, I’ve always been drawn to horror movies, books about decomposition and surgery—our lyrics speak for themselves: it’s all about death and apathy.

I’d say we’re still searching for an even better sound. The album we’re releasing is kind of like a test—we want to see how people react so we can improve and avoid mistakes in the future. There are definitely some strong tracks, but we’re aiming for a more professional-level sound overall.

What or who inspires you guys?  Other bands?  Other works of art?

We’re inspired by a lot of bands. Some of our favorites are Devourment, Abominable Putridity, Defeated Sanity, Epicardiectomy, Cephalotripsy, and Cerebral Incubation. If you listen to our upcoming album, you might hear some similarities to these bands.

When can we expect the full-length?

The album is set to release on August 15, 2026. 

I think in some ways it fits the genre, and in others it doesn’t. I hope people will like at least some of the tracks—maybe even the whole album.  It was recorded pretty quickly, so there are some flaws—like guitar tone issues, mic noise, and other imperfections. We’re planning to start working on the second album later this year. We’ve also proposed some collaborations, including with bigger bands like Cephalotripsy, which should be interesting.

Thank you for taking the time to answer some questions!!!   Anything you would like to say to your fans?

We don’t have a big fanbase yet, but I want to say we appreciate every single person who listens to and supports us. Support is really important for new bands right now.

Thanks for inviting us, and thanks to everyone who read this all the way through.
