When I saw the email with your album I thought that old thrashers Soothsayer from Canada came back with a new album. But it was a pleasant surprise that you come from the land of Primordial and Cruchan and that’s an extra from its own. So, what had to happen, musically, emotionally and collectively, before “The Unbinding” could finally emerge, and why was this the right moment to release it?

“When Gods Walked The Earth” builds connections between ancient mythology and today’s world. What inspired you to that direction, and why does it remain relevant in 2026?

“Swarm Of Insects” has a very disturbing and symbolic title. What inspired the image behind it?Andreas: The title is meant to be just that: disturbing and symbolic. Of course, a swarm of insects can be a very concrete threat, but not least it invokes strong images of divine oppression, sin, and rebellion. The Bible, and religious fables in general, remains a great source of shared cultural metaphors.

Congratulations on the release of “Endless Beginnings…”. As a band, how does it feel to finally have your most ambitious and fully realized work out there? How does it feel to see fans fully experience the complete story and atmosphere behind the record?

After such a long gap between albums, what pushed Deathstorm back into writing “Cascophonies”? How does it feel to finally unleash this beast upon the metal underground?

Michael-George Browning was an American drummer, vocalist and songwriter whose imagination helped shape the early Florida death metal scene. Born on May 26, 1964, in Tampa, Florida, Mike began playing drums at the age of 13, practicing along with records by bands such as Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. His developing style was also influenced by the darker and more aggressive sounds of Slayer, Mercyful Fate and Angel Witch.

“Known Unto God” arrives more than three decades after your last studio release. Looking at the EP today, do you see it primarily as the closing of unfinished business, or as the beginning of an entirely new chapter for Cyclone? Which is the impact you have til today for it since its release?

"Catarsi" takes us directly into the horrors of the First World War. What drew the band to this specific historical nightmare?
