Into the Abyss: VISITANT, Defiler of the Crown Art & Reapers Underground Join The Zach Moonshine Show
Last Friday night, The Zach Moonshine Show on Metal Devastation Radio plunged headfirst into the shadows of extreme music, art, and underground culture with a special double-feature episode presented by Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest 2025 .
The first half of the show featured Chelsea Marrow , frontwoman of cinematic symphonic death metal act VISITANT , in an exclusive interview filled with raw emotion, dark inspiration, and behind-the-scenes insight into the band’s meteoric rise.
“I’m just putting every bit of my spirit into it,” Chelsea revealed, speaking on the intense grief and transformation that fueled their breakout single “Fodder.”
When discussing their latest track “Starless” , Chelsea described it as “the embodiment of shadow work,” a haunting representation of internal battles and divine feminine rage that shape VISITANT’s creative identity.
She also offered a glimpse into what fans can expect from their upcoming set at TMDMF 2025 , the band’s bold DIY visual aesthetic, and even teased exclusive merch like their custom dark roast coffee blend.
Later in the show, the spotlight shifted to the minds behind Defiler Of The Crown Art and Reapers Underground , two driving forces in underground media who not only document but actively shape the extreme metal and horror communities.
Defiler’s creator shared their origin story:
“It was just a passion project... I wanted to bring together horror and metal in one brutal format.”
Meanwhile, Reapers Underground reflected on their mission to support the scene:
“If a band’s putting in the work, we want to help them get seen.”
Together, both outlets emphasized the powerful synergy between music, horror, visual art, and grassroots journalism — an alliance that keeps the underground fierce, vibrant, and unbreakable.
🕯️ Throughout the episode, we also paid heartfelt tribute to Ozzy Osbourne , sharing personal memories, emotional reflections, and the massive impact he’s had on generations of metalheads worldwide. His spirit loomed large over the broadcast, reminding us why we do what we do.
This wasn’t just another radio show — it was a living, breathing manifestation of underground culture at its finest. A space where sound, story, and spirit collide to create something unforgettable.
