SYSTEM DESTROYER is the name for a one-man grindcore band from Salta, Argentina. After participating in several compilation releases including Bestial Noise Compilation, The Sound of X 3, and 1, 2, 3, 4, BLAST!, the band released a very interesting full-length entitled “Dying” in June 2018. Angel (all instruments and programming) is here talked about his band, new album, future plan, and the likes! – Interview by Harshziqr [26.07.2018]
Introduce us about System Destroyer, the band history and lineup?
First, greetings to you and all the bastards who are devouring the pages of Fast As Fuck fanzine. I’m Angel, the only member and founder of System Destroyer. It’s a D.I.Y one-man grindcore band you know… I’m from Salta, a filthy urban located in the north of Argentina. I started this shit in 2011 under the name of Anal Abort. But after recording some demos, eps and splits as Anal Abort I decided to change the name of the band to the current one in 2016.
Please define your music style and the trademark of System Destroyer if any?
System Destroyer is grindcore, completely influenced by the primitive, raw and dirty sound of the old school.
What encourage you to really into grindcore music?
Well… mainly because I love grindcore, I love blast beat. I listen to different music styles but grindcore is my favourite one par excellence. The feeling I get from listening grindcore isn’t caused by any other style. It’s total ear destruction fella!
Please talk further about your release entitled “Dying”, the tracks recording and distribution?
Dying was recorded at the end of 2017. I recorded the guitars, the bass, the vocals and I have even programmed the drums too. I also did the mixing as well as the art cover, all in a fucking simple PC that I have in my room. The title “Dying” refers to this moribund and decomposed system which is destined to end in any moment. Right now it is only available online for free download for any grind maniac, but I will make physical copies soon.
Do you plans for more compilations and splits?
Yes, I am de-composing new noises for a new split, it will possible be edited at the end of this year.
What themes and messages written within the lyrics?
The themes of the lyrics are associated to social issues. I do not pretend to give a message; I just try to shape my critical point of view and my disgust for different aspects of the shitty system in which we live in. For example in “Dying” I talk about media manipulation, injustices, human defects, slavery, parasitism.
How does the brutal / extreme / noise music scene look like in your homeground?
My country has a good extreme scene, but unfortunately in my town there is a shortage of grindcore, crust, d-beat, noise bands.
Thanks for your time. Last words?
Thank you very much for this interview and for your support. Stay grind!
