Back on T37, we delved into the sophisticated songwriting of The Visceral Sovereign, the debut of a brutal death project named, unforgettably, "Anal Stabwound." Needless to say, The Death Metal Guy had to get in touch with sole mastermind Nikhil T., also known for his guitar and drum covers on Youtube. In an all-killer no-filler 45 minute conversation, Nikhil outlines his methodology for writing brutal death metal, discusses his journey to multi-instrumental mastery, and sheds some light on the strangely-structured internet scene at the vanguard of brutality.
