Oath to Vanquish on BBC Radio
 |
Oath to Vanquish‘s Applied Schizophrenic Science (Grindethic, 2006) was one of the better death metal albums I heard last year (you can read my review of it here – scroll down or search).
Thus, I was intrigued by BBC Radio 4’s Tim Samuel’s recent interview of the Lebanese band for a show on censorship called “Guerrillas of Pop.” Here is a clip of the interview with guitarist/vocalist Elias Abboud, who appears about two minutes in, along with “Executive Onslaught” from the ASS album.

Sure, censorship of metal is nothing new, but this clip is a reminder that the ability to go to shows, and to buy and listen to music – we shouldn’t take it for granted. To see the band discuss these issues further, here is a video interview with it in Beirut.
