A few questions - interview with black/death metal band from Israel - DEATHSIEGE.



A few questions - interview with black/death metal band from Israel - DEATHSIEGE. 

Answered Jeff, thank you!

Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? – When was it founded and what style of music do you play etc.? 

Deathsiege was founded by A.M. in 2019, shortly thereafter joined by J.S. on vocals and additional guitars. Our music is probably described as Death Metal with some sensibilities borrowed from its obvious sibling genres Black and Thrash Metal. 

Where and under what conditions were you recording the new album? Who was in charge of sound, production and mastering? 

Unworthy Adversary is 100% self recorded and self produced. All instruments and vocals were recorded by us at our rehearsal space affectionately named The Pit, mixed and mastered by A.M. 


How many copies were released and which medium was used for this new edition (CD, digital, vinyl, cassette)? 

Unworthy Adversary was recently released on cassette by Dawnbreed Records and is also available digitally through our Bandcamp page. 

Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with? 

Most lyrics were penned by J.S. and deal with murder, violence and war as inescapable elements of our regrettable existence as humans in this poisonous world. 

Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important? 

Deathsiege’s logo was created by A.M. and the cover art for Unworthy Adversary by brilliant local artist Jessica Astral Odyssey. The year is 2020 and so some presence on social media seems unavoidable if we wish to have our music heard by anyone. The underground remains underground and having a Facebook page for your band does not mean you’ve signed with Warner Music.


Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you? 

Dawnbreed Records from Netherlands fucking rules and we hope to continue the great collaboration started on this cassette. 

Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration? 

We idolise nothing and no one. We honor and take inspiration from many Old School American Death Metal acts, South American Metal is also a big influence on us, as well as indirect influence by all forefathers of extreme metal – Sodom, Mercyful Fate, Bathory, etc. 

Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response? 

We did send the demo to a few labels we appreciate, responses were pretty much positive. 

Eventually, Dawnbreed records made this release possible physically and we are happy with this collaboration. 




How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether it's (clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best? 

Deathsiege is currently a duo and we hope to expand our lineup and take this music live during 2021. 

What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band? 

We are currently writing our debut full-length, to be recorded hopefully by the end of 2020. Playing live which will require additional members to the band is also in mind of course. Basically, Creating new music, extreme metal in particular, is our constant desire and so we are committed to it, Deathsiege is the spawn of this desire. 

How and where can your fans contact you? Can you provide some contact information?
