We're heading into darker territory this week as we welcome a force from the Kentucky extreme metal underground!
Tonight on Metal Devastation Radio, we're sitting down with Matthew Smith, guitarist and vocalist for Kentucky black/death metal band SINISTRUM!
Combining the crushing brutality of death metal, the savage darkness of black metal, and the aggressive riff-driven energy of thrash, Sinistrum delivers an absolutely punishing brand of extreme metal.
The band is gearing up to unleash its second full-length album, The Hammer Of Conquest, arriving November 13, 2026 through Remorseless Records!
Their first single, "Scourge Awakened," recently received an exclusive premiere through No Clean Singing, giving metalheads their first taste of the band's darker, more chaotic, and more violent new material.
We'll be talking with Matthew about the band's formation, Kentucky's extreme metal underground, the evolution of Sinistrum, the making of the new album, working with the current lineup, and what listeners can expect when The Hammer Of Conquest drops!
With influences and comparisons ranging from Zyklon and Belphegor to earlier God Dethroned, this is one conversation that's going to get downright vicious!
DARKNESS. CHAOS. VIOLENCE. RELENTLESS METAL!
