King Demogorgon of Sardonic Witchery Unleashes Chaos on The Zach Moonshine Show

from The Zach Moonshine Show · host Zachary Moonshine

Texas-based black thrash warlord Ricardo “KD” Mota, better known to the underground as King Demogorgon of Sardonic Witchery, storms onto Metal Devastation Radio for a raw, unfiltered conversation about the band’s savage compilation Under The Sign Of The Trident and the relentless force driving one of the underground’s most uncompromising projects.Broadcast straight from the trenches of the extreme metal world, this episode dives deep into the origins, philosophy, and future of Sardonic Witchery as King Demogorgon breaks down the decision to unleash a collection of re-recorded black metal anthems while the band prepares its next full-length assault.“We do exactly what I wanna do and we don’t have compromises with nobody.”During the conversation, Demogorgon reveals that the band has already completed their upcoming fifth album, a record he promises will push Sardonic Witchery into even more aggressive territory.“That will be a very different album. Some people will say, ‘What the hell is happening here?’”While fans wait for that next chapter, Under The Sign Of The Trident serves as both a celebration of the band’s past and a warning of what’s coming next.The interview also explores Demogorgon’s personal journey from Portugal to Switzerland and ultimately to Texas, where he rebuilt his life and reignited his musical mission after a turbulent period.“I came to Texas to clean my mind… it was supposed to be three months. I’ve been here fifteen years.”From those dark beginnings, Sardonic Witchery was born as a fiercely independent project that allowed Demogorgon to work without compromise.“When you do music by yourself, you can do whatever you want when you feel it.”Throughout the discussion, Demogorgon opens up about the occult inspiration behind the band’s name, the experiences that shaped his worldview, and the intense mindset that fuels Sardonic Witchery’s sound.He also reflects on his early influences, tracing his path from classic heavy metal and hard rock into the darker realms of extreme music.“When I discovered the more extreme stuff, I said, ‘This is what I like.’”The conversation doesn’t stop there. Fans also get a preview of what’s coming next for Sardonic Witchery, including international festival appearances, underground shows, and a brutal touring schedule that will bring their black thrash ritual to stages across the globe.Among the highlights:• Upcoming shows in the UK• A long-awaited appearance at Maryland Deathfest• A U.S. tour with Poland’s Besatt• Debut performances in both the UK and Mexico“Maryland Deathfest is something I wanted to do for a long time.”The interview is packed with stories from the road, reflections on the underground metal scene, and the kind of honest, no-filter discussion that only happens when true metal lifers sit down and talk shop.And of course, the show wraps exactly the way it should… with the command to turn the volume up and let the chaos flow.“Put your speakers in your windows… put them in your neighbor’s driveway… crank it loud.”If you live for raw black thrash, underground metal culture, and conversations with artists who refuse to play by the rules, this is one episode you don’t want to miss.Crank it up and step into the ritual.Check out the full show on mixcloud:https://www.mixcloud.com/thezachmoonshineshow/king-demogorgon-of-sardonic-witchery-unleashes-black-thrash-chaos-on-metal-devastation-radio/
