Spit on your Grave - Death Metal from Mexico
Spit on your Grave are
a Brutal Death Metal
band from Mexico.
Andrew Stanton talked
to Marlene Muñoz
about their new album.
- Can you tell our readers
a little about your
story, please?
“Well,
Spit on
your Grave
was founded
in 2012,
since then
we have
tried to
do the best
we can to share our music
with the world.”
Interview by Andrew Stanton
- What bands did
you like growing up?
“I remember as a kid
watching MTV and VH1
all day, some of my favorite
bands were
Queen and Pantera.”
I think some people think
that Death Metal has silly or
meaningless lyrics and don't take
the time to pay attention to it.
Interview with Marlene Muñoz
- What
are your lyrics about?
“The lyrics of this new album
were like a mental
detox, it talks about an internal
struggle to restore
your inner self, where your
demon’s surface and everything
you believed in is
questioned,
that moment
when you
realize that
for years you
have followed
someone
else's
example...
You've had
enough and decide
to leave it all behind.”
- How different is your
real life to your lyrics?
“Well, the lyrics are inspired
by past feelings
and experiences, so I'd
say they're pretty
similar.”
- What can
you tell us
about your
new album?
“The creation
process was a
very fun and
exhausting experience,
and
that is why we
can assure you
that at least one
song will make
you headbang!”
- Do you think
Death Metal
has a bad
reputation
for its lyrics?
“Maybe, I
think some people
think that
Death Metal has
silly or meaningless
lyrics
and don't take
the time to pay
attention to it.”
- What is
the Mexican
scene like?
“Wild, there is
a very big scene
here and people
are passionate
about it.”
Have you
played shows
outside of Mexico yet?
“Yes, last year we went
to the United States.”
- Do you have a message
for our readers?
“Support your local
metal bands!”
Thanks for
your time.
“Thank you
for giving
us the space
to talk about
our project!”
