I explain my projects

Død Beverte, the industrial mastermind behind Dethcentrik explained why he releases under two names, and publicly revealed a new collaborative project.

"I'm releasing this next album Crucified Babies, under my own name rather than Dethcentrik because the sound is far more industrial. I will use the Dethcentrik name again when it sounds more metal/grindcore, rest assured. Locals want Dethcentrik to go away, which is partly why it won't, but I think with a fluctuating sound having a name for two extremes rather than confusing the Hell out of people when the sound goes back and forth is only logical."

Død stated that he plans on keeping the contracts that maintain the current Dethcentrik releases, keeping them available everywhere they are now.

"The problems I had with distribution was the amount of distributors and labels I had to contact. I will maintain relationships I have. The reason I chose CD Baby for my solo release was too see if this would be easier to initiate than some of my previous contracts."

He added that licensing agencies were his top frustration. Work has been reject due to offensive content sometimes even after a contract had been signed.

"Licensing agencies have been my biggest hassle, sometimes in retrospect I feel my only hassle. I debate whether I should use them sometimes, but I look for unique ways to expose my music. Of course the lyrics are violent, but why is rap so much less bad?"

Død revealed a new collaborative project as well.

"I am teaming with S. Inferno, originally of the cult-followed black metal band Vampiric Tyrant, to create a avantgarde metal project called 'Divine Punishment.' Material should be in the works soon, so it's one to keep in ear open for. I've 'leaked' info on the web if you can find it."

The Simples Answers Can be the Best

I'm still getting over an illness. But I have decided to sink in and distribute through CD Baby. I am frustrated by other distributors and labels, namely in how poor they are at maintaining communication, and I look forward hopefully being able to distribute an album without as much required "middle-man" contact. While I will start with fewer stores, I may contact some myself. Having said that, a lot of the Død Beverte solo work may be less accessible than the last Dethcentrik release. I plan on gradually building up the label to distribute to stores more directly, seeing as how I am generally so bothered by having to go through someone else first. I am willing to help artists still, and I may still work with some labels my friends own, but I wanted to make this clear before any surprises came about...

BIG changes for the band

Apologies for the lack of video log updates, progress is going good, will make one soon. The band name will be changing by the next release. Since Dethcentrik has generally been the solo project of Død Beverte, it will be named as such. All material released under "Dethcentrik" will remain under that name, but future release will be by "Død Beverte." I will slowly be transitioning sites, etc to reflect this change. Thank you all for the support, and no the music won't stop, the band won't cease to exist, the information and structure is just changing.
