Every band needs something that sets them apart. For some, that thing is a lively frontman that commands stages of any size. Others find their niche in the precision of their instrumentation. But, for The Day Of The Beast, the one thing they do better than anyone else is telling stories. Indisputably Carnivorous, the band’s brutal new record with a great name, is a compendium of all things dark. The relentlessly aggressive release channels the darkest corners of the human psyche into a macabre collection of horrific visions meant to elicit a strong response from listeners. It’s the kind of album that nightmares are made of, and we mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Indisputably Carnivorous is a brazenly imaginative and nihilistic metal record you have been unknowingly waiting for your entire life. Set aside some time to take this one in because once you start, you won’t be able to stop. But is it enough? Competition for attention is at an all-time high, and being good is never good enough. The bands that emerge from the underground to take the world by storm have something else to offer. There is a dedication to craftsmanship that listeners can detect in every note and lyric an artist provides. That intangible “it” factor is the key to meaningful success, and lucky for The Day Of The Beast, that devotion is apparent in everything they create. In this episode of Inside Music, host James Shotwell speaks with The Day Of The Beast guitarist Steve Redmond about the tremendous power of Indisputably Carnivorous. Steven recounts the album’s creation and the stories behind some of the group’s most infamous song titles. He also shares the story of how The Day Of The Beast joined Prosthetic Records and his advice for others hoping to do the same.
