DAATH’s Eyal Levi chats with us IN A STAIRWELL

Daath's new album

DAATH is gearing up for the imminent release of their latest album, a self-titled thrash-fest of brutal time-changes, aggressive vocals, hyper-precision drumming, and all-around destructive omnipotence (not to be confused with degenerate impotence).  Boasting a crew of wrecking balls on their instruments — Sean Zatorsky, Emil Werstler, Kevin Talley (ex-CHIMAIRA), Jeremy Creamer, and Eyal Levi — this album is one of those albums that really speaks for itself…so go listen to it!!

Back yet?  Good.

Because now it’s time for a little behind-the-scenes on the new album, courtesy of guitarist EYAL LEVI.  Chatting it up with Release List/BANG YOUR HEAD!(lines)’ Dave Brooks, you are about to find out what it was like working with Mr. Talley behind the drum kit, why over 100 tracks of rhythm, melody, and harmonies have been layered together, and…well, a lot of other really esoteric shit.  In fact, here’s a run down:
