Interview with Lack of Truth - 2013

As 2013 comes to its end, Lack of Truth's "Under the Torn Flesh" (REVIEWED HERE) remains my favorite release of the year.  The debut full-length from this Russian brutal death metal band stays true to the genre's roots AND manages to be original!  I was lucky enough to conduct a short interview with the band.  Thanks for checking it out!




Cerebral Reviewment-  Could you tell everyone your name and what you do in the
band?

Lack of Truth-

Valentin Khramtsov - bass,
Alexey Grigoriev - drums,
Sergey Minaev -guitars,

and two past members:

Anton Kazakov - guitars
Alexey Remizov - vocals.


CR-  Could you give a brief history of Lack of Truth?

LOT-  Lack Of Truth is a brutal death band from St. Petersburg (Russia).  The group
was founded in the late summer of 2010 by musicians who previously played in
various local groups. bIn a short period of time we released a demo entitled Graveyard
Of Fools and played concerts in St. Petersburg and other Russian cities.  2013 brought the release of our debut, full-length album, "Under the Torn Flesh" on Italian label Death Metal Industry.


CR-  How did you guys decide on the name Lack of Truth?

LOT-  Very good question!  We wanted our lyrical themes to be more than just gore and the usual things many BDM bands write about.
We decided to add things into our lyrics such as topics on social problems and politics.  And most importantly, about the lies that the media reports.  Then came the name Lack Of Truth.

CR-  “Under The Torn Flesh” is an amazing piece of brutal death
metal. Did it receive good feedback from your fans?   Is the band pleased with how that album came out?


LOT-  Yes!  Many people in Russia and all around the world write to us to give good feedback!  We are very pleased with how everything turned out.

CR-  Can you tell us how your relationship with Death Metal Industry came about?

LOT-  Eddy Smith, the owner of the Death Metal Industry, wrote to us saying that he had listened our songs, and was interested in releasing our first album on his label.  The band is very grateful to the label Death Metal Industry for the publication of our debut album.

CR-  Have you lost or gained any members since the release of “Under The Torn Flesh?”


LOT-  We have recently parted ways with our vocalist Alexey Remizov because we had some disagreements.  Currently, the group has found a new frontman!  He will participate in the recording of our second album and we hope that the new voice of band will appeal to all our fans.  Soon we will announce the name of our new vocalist.

CR-  What can you tell us about the upcoming album and how it’s coming along?

LOT-  We are planning to start recording a new album at the beginning of the new year.  It will be more fast and brutal than “Under The Torn Flesh,"  and the group plans to change the style of lyrics but for now it's a secret.




Thank you so much to Lack of Truth!  We cannot wait to hear more!
