Necrodeath has been one of the most important and respected extreme metal bands in Italy and Europe since the 1980s. They've stayed true to their roots, continuing to deliver Old School Thrash, Black, and Death Metal with satanic and dark lyrical themes. Over the years, they've held their place among the leading bands in the European metal scene. We recently had a short but meaningful interview with Peso from the band. Thanks again to Peso for this brief but intense chat with Morbidzine.
MORBIDZINE: Hi, how’s everything going? First off, thank you so much for taking the time for us. We really enjoyed “Draculea”! It was an interesting album, as Necrodeath managed to blend various musical elements without losing its old school essence. How would you describe the new album and the feedback it received?
PESO: Well Thanx A Lot For Your Nice Words...
MORBIDZINE: There was a guest female musician featured named “Lady Godyva.” How did that idea come about?
PESO: The Idea To Finish The Cd Was Write A Requiem Song...
MORBIDZINE: Why did the band go on hiatus after 1990? Can you tell us about the period when the band reformed?
PESO: There Was Too Much Depression In The Last Year...

PESO: Well I Think Is The Right Evolution Of Theperson As Musicians...
MORBIDZINE: What do you think of other Italian thrash bands, especially Bulldozer? And which bands do you personally follow from around the world?
PESO: Necrodeath Together With Schizo And Bulldozer Has Been...
MORBIDZINE: How do you feel about the reunions of old thrash bands in recent years—such as Onslaught, Celtic Frost, At War, Possessed, Sacred Reich, and others? Would you call this a second wave of thrash metal?
PESO: I’m Very Happy That The Old Thrash Metal Band Are Back Again...
MORBIDZINE: What are the band’s current plans for the future? Are you working on a new album? Is there a European or world tour coming soon?
