Murdery return with new fire, reflecting on Poland’s metal scene, creative evolution, upcoming releases, and their growing presence in Europe. In this interview, the band dives into influences, goals, and what fans can expect next.
1. You’re returning to Poland for your second tour in 2026. What made you choose Poland again as a key destination for this next chapter of Murdery’s journey?
Well, Poland has one of the best active extreme metal scenes (if not the best)
in Europe, and both bands and fans are very supportive, committed and
knowledgeable about it.
2. How did the pause caused by COVID-19 impact the band creatively, and in what ways has it shaped your new material?
It unfortunately stopped the band after the first release which kind of
broke the creative rhythm. Back then we were not used to work from the distance
and it made us come with ideas that afterwards were key to keep working in a
more professional way towards Bloodshed, our second album.
3. You’re
bringing Godslut as special guests on this tour. What made them the perfect fit
to join you on this run?
Godslut is
a young yet very technical, talented and promising death metal band, they can
absolutely defend their work and deliver a very high quality, technical death
metal.
4. Fans
are excited about your upcoming single—can you share what themes or emotions
you explored in this new track?
We wanted
with this new track a whole fusion between the golden old grindhouse death
metal topics with our I think starting to be signature groovier and more modern
version of old school death. I can just say for now the elderly load up on guns
again in this track *laughs*.
5. Your
EP is also on the way. How does its sound compare to your previous releases,
and what new elements are you experimenting with?
We have
been wondering since our new line-up on how to approach a final version of our
whole concept as musicians, artists and people. In the last album we reached
the production we wanted to achieve, but in this one what we looked for is to
shape our sound to finally give a detailed expression of what’s Murdery,
6. Murdery
formed in Spain back in 2018. How do your Spanish roots influence your approach
to death metal today?
We have
been well inspired from very big artists such as Avulsed, Wormed or Haemorrhage
that carved the spirit of death metal from our nation and digged all the way up
to the rest of Europe. It showed us that we can as well use our cultural
characteristics and imprint them in our death metal as well, typically more
present on northern/central Europe.
7. You’ve
shared the stage with giants like Avulsed and Brujeria. What lessons or
inspirations did you take from those experiences?
It’s
incredible to be able to meet some of your musical idols and share a chat or a
beer with them, or in the case of Brujería, some “cigarettes” the Mexican way!
Both Avulsed and Brujería are bands we’ve listened to since we were really
young and have always respected immensely. On the musical side, you realize
there’s so much to learn from bands that have been crushing stages for decades,
and if you’re observant enough, you might even find pure gold.
8. Poland
has a strong extreme metal culture. What distinguishes Polish crowds from
others you’ve played for across Europe?
The level
of technicality Polish people are used to is incredible, after big bands of the
extreme metal scene such as Vader, Behemoth or Decapitated just to mention a
few, they are not only fans of these genres but also critical and yet very
passionate about it. In our opinion they might be a bit more ‘picky’ to
9. As
your presence grows in the European metal scene, what long-term goals does
Murdery have for the next few years?
We would
like to keep growing our presence enough to have the budget and the recognition
to finally get to one of the ‘meccas’ of death metal, USA – Which to be honest
already holds a good chunk of the total of our on-line listeners. We can’t wait
to make that real.
10. What
should fans expect from the live shows on this tour—any surprises, new setups,
or elements you’re bringing to the stage for the first time?
We are working every year on going beyond our boundaries. In this case, we invested on new equipment, merchandise and even stage elements. If we are growing it means more people will come and the bigger the venues, so we have to be at the same level as what fans deserve when they go to the concerts.
