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."
