Who is Exfeciate?
PARWEZ:
Just me, Parwez, a one-man brutal death unit from Germany. I write, record and mix everything. My neighbors hate me.
What is the history of Exfeciate?
I used to write riffs and record countless ideas but never bothered to finish a song. Then, in late 2023, I figured I might as well make it official and start ruining eardrums. Since then, I’ve been diving deep into recording and production—learning as I go and finding the sound I'm looking for along the way.
None. However, I played guitar for Endometritis over a decade ago and dabbled in different genres for a while. My legendary former bandmates Rafael (now Figging, Theatre's Kiss) and Andree (now Verachtung, Genital Mutilation, ex-Stillbirth) have supported me a lot in realizing Exfeciate.
How did you first get into this kind of music?
It all started when a friend sent me a YouTube video of the German classic "Cock and Ball Torture - Aphrodisianius" when I was about 15 years old. I didn’t even know music like that existed. From there, I dove into the MySpace rabbit hole, constantly searching for more underground sound.
I am beyond pumped for the new full-length to come out! Can you share a little about the writing of "Enthroned in Desiccation " and the concept behind the album?
Thanks! I started writing ‘Enthroned in Desiccation’ in August 2024. After my last releases, which were mostly thrown together within a couple of weeks with me locking myself in a room, I wanted to change my approach. This time, I really took my time with the writing process and tried to focus on crafting something more cohesive.
‘Enthroned in Desiccation’ tells the tale of a dark emperor ruling over a fallen civilization. Obsessed with immortality, he uses a grotesque mix of ancient bones and machinery to transcend death, resurrecting the deceased and merging flesh with machine. His empire is empty, but through these rituals, he expands his cult and achieves a twisted form of enlightenment.
Who did the artwork?
The art itself is made by Fear Of Napalm. My brother Hudana put it all together and is currently in the process of creating the design for my physical release.
Can you recommend any up and coming bands from your area?
You should definitely stay tuned for the upcoming 'Figging' album. Finest vomit blasting deathgrind
Who are some artists that have inspired you that may surprise people?
Apart from Yoko Ono, whose avantgarde screeching is basically proto-pig squeals, I’d say Balkan music has some seriously intricate rhythms, especially with all the odd time signatures and unpredictable syncopation.
In fact, I actually used a Balkan-inspired tune as the outro for the first track—it adds a wild, unexpected twist to the brutality.
Thanks so much for doing this!
Anything to say to fans?
Thank you so much for the support! It truly means the world to me as fans and reviewers like you are the ones who keep the underground spirit alive and thriving.
Much love from Germany!
Greetings
Parwez
