Q. Hi guys, welcome to VENTS! How have you been doing?
Thank you so much for having us, it’s a pleasure to be included in the interview!
We’ve been doing really well recently, with a plethora of gigs outside of our hometown during the November run of gigs. Taking our music from Newquay to Nottingham, Bristol and Torquay, as well as our music starting to reach radio play.
This is a really good time in the band right now!
Q. So you guys are back with your new single “We Will Remain” – can you tell us more about the single?
Of course! “We Will Remain” is a song that started out as a poem about the band, one of the earlier songs in the writing process of the album and one that was written by our Bassist Wiktor Weinreb Osiecki.
This poem about the band aimed to convey the connection we have through our music and portray the brotherhood within DeathAssault.
Throughout time, after it was initially written and we started to play it live, the meaning of the song evolved from its core to relate to the Metal community and how I find it to be a beautiful thing that we are all united under music.
Music is such a powerful art form and for people to be gathered under one roof for the love of music. That’s a special thing.
Q. The track also comes with a music video – how was the filming experience?
While the video is not a proper music video so to speak, the video is a lyric video that is accompanied by visuals from gigs across our time as a band.
Showing off the evolution of the band throughout time paired with the lyrics for people to read and be able to learn as well as understand at their core.
Editing this was a throwback to the many memories we’ve shared over the course 4 years from our first gigs back in 2022.
We’ve come a long way. It’s so nostalgic and humbling to see the roots of the band and the evolution of what we love.
Q. “We Will Remain” comes off your new self-titled album – how was the recording process?
The recording process of this album was spread across almost a year. With the first couple songs being recorded back in late 2024/ early 2025 in PMC studios in Plymouth.
We recorded drums in the studio, then took both strings and vocals independently at home as well as production such as mixing and mastering.
The recording process was very different from our EP but more in terms of our experience and musical maturity rather than the method.
The overall process of this record was smooth sailing, with the occasional drum re-track being necessary before completing the rest of the instrumental parts.
Q. What role does the likes of Lamb of God and Sepultura play on this album?
Both bands play such a large role in influencing our playing styles as we are huge fans of both bands. Lamb of God influence is most notable is the guitar playing of this album, specifically some of the last songs on the album.
Whereas, Sepultura influence is more found within the drumming. Our drummer Levi is an absolute beast behind the kit and is the heartbeat of the band. With inspiration ranging between Eloy Casagrande, Igor Cavalera, Mario Duplantier and many more, his style is both a mixture of pummelling precise and controlled chaos.
There are many other bands that play such a significant role in our inspiration but you may notice these two here and there.
Q. Has your native Plymouth play any role in your music?
I think the biggest role coming from Plymouth has played in our music is the fact we came together in the first place.
It’s not a huge place so we’ve all, without knowing, lived relatively close to each other.
Sharing a passion for music and a craving to be in a band with not much to do, really does force you to pursue what you love. Many of us were not doing much prior to the band, that was fulfilling in life. It felt like it all forced us to pursue purpose, meaning and fulfilment through our passions.
It’s really special. The brotherly bond that’s been forged through music and the shared location of where we live.
Q. Where did you find inspiration for the record?
The inspiration for the record lies within both a conceptual and realistic world, drawing from personal feelings and experiences, dealing with mental health issues and using music as a cathartic release to cope with such problems.
Conceptually drawing from a dystopian world on the brink of collapse that remains to also be based somewhat in reality.
These are the main driving forces and themes within the album, however it’s not without its social commentary as we view music as a vessel to put out a message.
Those songs, namely “Falling Down” and “Pro Crisis” aim to discuss issues of alcoholism as a coping mechanism and political corruption that drives the ever hungry war machine.
Q. What else is in store for your world?
Growth. Our main objectives are reaching as many people with our message and music as possible. This year we’ve seen such significant jumps in growth from hitting 1k followers to the growth to the current 1.6k followers we are at currently.
We’ve been gaining attention from both interviews, radio play and begun working alongside SAN PR which all of these aspects are such a large milestone within the band.
With our eyes set on the coming year and the release of the upcoming album in 2026 we aim to put together a mini-tour and to play around the UK in areas we haven’t before.
It’s time to expand the family and spread the infection to new people.
