Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 22: Kyle Beam of Undeath (New York)
Manage episode 323806091 series 2912897
In this episode we talk to Undeath's guitarist and lyricist Kyle Beam, the first of our interviewees whose lyrics seriously engage with such well recognised death metal themes as gore, murder and, well, death! Kyle details his recipe for unpretentious lyrics that tell a good-humoured horror story and allow the listener to draw on their own imagination to depict violent acts that are not explicitly described in the songs' lyrics. Far from trying to be shocking for the sake of being shocking, Kyle's lyrics describing zombies and undead skeletons are decidedly fantastic and removed from real-world human experiences of violence so that they may serve as source of entertaining escapism rather than genuine offense. Kyle explains how Undeath's lyrics are, in continuing a long tradition of metal spawned by bands like Cannibal Corpse and Carcass, aimed at curating an atmosphere of horror that is fun, exploratory, and above all, very metal. Undeath's latest album "It's Time...To Rise from the Grave" is out April 22. To keep up with all Undeath's latest releases go to https://undeath.bandcamp.com/
