INTERVIEW DEATH TOLL 80K

This is an interview with Finnish grindcore outfit DEATH TOLL 80K. They released their second album entitled "Step Down" which should be a listening pleasure for all lovers of old school grindcore.Join us on a trip in the deepest Finnish underground...

First of all, please tell us more about the new record "Step Down“. How do you feel about the new record ? What about the  process of writing and recording this album ?

It’s very much the album we wanted to make. Faster, noisier and more out of control than "Harsh Realities", but still having the same type of recognisable songwriting. The oldest songs were written back in 2011 and have appeared on the split with Sete Star Sept and the rest at different points between that and 2016. Now we had a clearer vision of the album as a whole than with "Harsh Realities", so instead of just writing songs we were writing songs for this album. How we write really varies, sometimes a song feels ready the first time we play it together, sometimes it keeps changing from rehearsal to rehearsal. And considering how rarely we’re able to rehearse that can literally take years. Finding time was the most difficult thing about writing and recording the album, it was actually recorded at four or five different sessions in various places during a couple of months. Big thanks for how the record turned out goes to our friend Mikael who recorded and mixed the whole thing, and who really helped us achieve our vision.
