HOMICYDE Featured in Exclusive Metal Hammer Italy Interview

South Carolina Melodic Death Metal Standouts Earn International Recognition as Metal Hammer Italy Celebrates a New Issue Featuring Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, System Of A Down, Taylor Momsen, Max Cavalera and More

Charleston, SC – South Carolina melodic death metal powerhouse HOMICYDE continue expanding their international reach with an exclusive in-depth interview published by Metal Hammer Italy , one of Europe's premier heavy metal publications.

The feature explores the band's acclaimed album Immortal , their uncompromising DIY philosophy, songwriting process, personal journey, and the evolution of one of the American underground's most dedicated melodic death metal acts.

The interview arrives as Metal Hammer Italy unveils its latest issue, featuring Judas Priest on the cover along with coverage of Iron Maiden , System Of A Down , Taylor Momsen , Max Cavalera , and more, giving metal fans another reason to check out one of Europe's leading voices in heavy music.

Throughout the interview, the members of HOMICYDE candidly discuss the deeply personal experiences that shaped Immortal , touching on themes of grief, perseverance, loss, and honoring those who continue to inspire them.

Speaking about the emotional foundation behind the record, vocalist Jacob Parrott explains:

"We personally had gone through a lot of losses before we wrote these songs. The songs are the product of the emotions we felt because of those losses and the situations that resulted from them."

Drummer Carl Parrott II also shares how the loss of his son became the emotional catalyst behind much of the album, making Immortal the band's most personal and heartfelt release to date.

The interview also highlights HOMICYDE's unwavering commitment to the DIY spirit. Bassist Shane Parrott discusses the freedom that comes from remaining completely independent, allowing the band to control every aspect of its music, touring, and direct connection with fans.

The feature comes as HOMICYDE continue supporting their latest single, "Puppet to Disease," while bringing their crushing live performance across the East Coast and Southeast on The Riff Rampage Tour .

Recorded and mastered at Exodian Studios , Immortal has earned praise for its devastating blend of melodic death metal, crushing grooves, technical precision, and emotionally charged songwriting. Since forming in 2010, brothers Carl Parrott II (drums), Jacob Parrott (vocals), and Shane Parrott (bass), alongside guitarists Wayne Palmer and Thomas Weidick , have steadily built a reputation as one of the Southeast's hardest-working independent metal bands.

As international media continue to take notice, HOMICYDE remain committed to doing things on their own terms while bringing honest, emotionally driven extreme metal to audiences around the world.
