Godless Creates Thrashing, Pummeling "States of Chaos" On New Record (Early Album Stream + Interview)

Telangana, India based Godless deliver their full length debut full of the familiar sounds of death metal, even if the Indian metal scene might be unfamiliar to most reading this site. Godless’ sound is that of a well-oiled machine, with each member doing their part to bring about melody and brutality that never indulges in too much of either —this isn’t heavy just for the sake of being heavy. This calibrated approach is what has made Godless one of their city’s torch-bearing (by their scene’s standards, which we get into below) bands.

This 5 piece play modern death metal with plenty of thrash and excellent production for a band that doesn’t have a major label footing their bill, and States of Chaos sets out to and succeeds at crushing skulls in a 1987 meets 2021 kind of way. Think of Demolition Hammer meeting the fury of Dying Fetus: the death thrash of old is strong with this band as well as some modern brutal death metal sections with everything heavy from that middle ground thrown in for good measure.

In the interview you’ll read below, we chatted about the Telangana scene and what it’s like to make music in India, and how religion (or lack thereof) plays a factor in potential legal problems. The band shared their ideas for future touring plans and outlined some of their favorite albums for 2021 as well. They seem like quite a crew, so perhaps they can make it to North America at some point. Only time will tell. Read on and check the full album stream as well.
