Interviews: Death Chamber

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Death Metal band, Death Chamber from Germany. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

The name ‘Death Chamber’ was already planned for a long time by Tim to be chosen as a band name. After writing the first instrumental version of a song, he immediately knew that this name fits to the written song.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

Death Metal or Metal in general is one of the most sophisticated genres that are out there. Tim wanted to dedicate himself into writing fast music and Death Metal gave him the perfect feeding ground to realize his ideas.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

We did not know each other before the band was officially called a band. The current formation developed with time. In 2018 Tim laid the ground for ‘Death Chamber’ by himself and later in 2019 got to know Pat from ‘The Course is Black’, who is now responsible for vocals in the band. In 2020 Immanuel from ‘Chokehold Policy’ joined the band on bass.

4. Each band member favourite band?

Although listening to much ‘heavier’ music now, Immanuel still worships The Four Horsemen a.k.a. ‘Metallica. Tim feels absolutely comfortable when listening to bands like ‘Vomitory’, ‘Fear Factory’ and ‘Dying Fetus’. Patrick is listening to a wide range of bands, but it’s impossible to give like the one favorite band, but to name a few of his favorites: ‘The Ocean Collective’, ‘Cattle Decapitation’, ‘Hath’, ‘Dark Sermon’, ‘Morbid Angel’ and ‘Obscura’.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

Tim draws his inspiration from the sheer will to write kick ass music. He describes this as his own style.

6. Where was your last gig?

This is just the beginning of ‘Death Chamber’. We did not have the chance to play a gig until now, due to the ongoing pandemic, but we are looking forward to a future with a lot of gigs.

7. Where would you like to act?

Being locked up due to the current corona situation, we’d like to play anywhere! Apart from that we’re looking forward to play festivals, as well as smaller club shows.

8. Whom would you like to feature with?

There are a lot of talented musicians around, to collaborate with. ‘Death Chamber’s first three demo songs are a good example for that. It features different Munich based vocalists. Even if we haven’t concrete feature plans now, it surely is an option for future recordings. Patrick would like to feature Travis Ryan from ‘Cattle Decapitation’ or Christian Älvestam from ‘Miseration’ on vocals. Tim would really like to feature Dino Cazares from ‘Fear Factory’ on guitar.

9. Whom not?

Especially bands who use their music and their influence in the scene to spread hatred, intolerance or racism.

10. Any of you has ever suffered from stage fright? Any tip for beginners on how to beat that?

Who didn’t? Everytime before getting on stage there is this strange feeling, but whenever you’re on stage it’s normally gone. Whenever this feeling is gone, live gigs aren’t special to you anymore. To combat this a bit, it’s good to make you familiar with the location and the other groups playing there. Feel free and relaxed wherever you play. This takes some of the tension. Just enjoy it and show the people what you got!

11. What bands have inspired you the most?

Considered the instrumental part of ‘Death Chamber’ it’s probably bands like ‘Vomitory’ and ‘Benediction’. When it comes to vocals it might be bands like ‘Cattle Decapitation’, ‘Deicide’ and ‘Morbid Angel’.

12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for?

We are right at it to get a growing fanbase. We are looking forward to all the crazy questions we may be encountered with.

13. What do you think of your fans?

Fans are really important to us and the feedback we got so far was very positive. We hope to get more feedback soon. Anyone is welcome to contact us and tell us what they think about our music!

14. What do you think of our site?

It’s very informative and one can see that you put a lot of effort into it. There are a lot of recent news for metalheads. We consider looking it up more often in the future!

15. Something to add?

We’d like to thank you for the interview and to all you folks out there: Keep on supporting artists in this very special times.
