Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 30: Jason Nitts & Alex Damske of Warforged (Illinois, USA)
Manage episode 342134783 series 2912897
Our interview in this episode focuses on the writing of drummer Jason Nitts and bassist Alex Damske - the dual lyricists of progressive death metal project Warforged. Focusing on the band's 2022 release The Grove: Sundial, Jason and Alex describe how, in taking over responsibility for Warforged's lyrics after the production of their first album, they were determined to challenge the established boundaries of their music, creating lyrics for their second album that are entirely distinct from those on their first. In contrast to the narrative-driven fantasy of their first album, the lyrics of The Grove: Sundial are firmly rooted in the real world, with repeated images of cars, houses, anger and self-contempt offering a sense of mundane brutality. The construction of this brutal domesticity realizes Jason and Alex's goal of avoiding metal language and typical metal themes, pushing the boundaries of what makes Warforged still a band and asking what can a metal band do? How far can you take that idea?
