Tetragrammaton – The Slayerking Art: Costin Chioreanu The Slayerking is the lizard whose snake ancestor offered the apple to Eve. It is about the serpent’s story; God cursed us to crawl after seducing her in Paradise. In the untold part of it, it grew its legs back and became a lizard seeking revenge. Since then,…
Terrorizer – Brandon Hunt Art: Brandon Hunt I’ve been one of the artists for the band so far in its lifetime. My background is in creative and digital art, so I jumped at the chance to make our first single artwork. ‘Terrorizer’ is about being a voice and rising to fight whatever injustices may come.…
With: Kyle Severn, Matt Sorg Art: J. Meyers HMA: What are your lyrics generally about? Chuck: Evil, or what one would interpret as evil, without the boundaries or opinions/ethics of faith.

Hilton: Writing riffs can feel like a deep meditation and spiritual on top, but not religious. We have our rituals by which we write songs together; it is a very constructive atmosphere and high-quality conversation between men and…
Dawn of Annihilation – Tom Kuzmic Art: Tata Kumislizer No rituals. This stuff is only for the weak. Whether you’re into the goat guy or the white-bearded one, we don’t care about religion. No jokes aside, we jam and come up with a riff, then another one we combine, look for significant drum parts, and…
