Nihilist - Interview

Hey, Breathing The Core fans, here we bring you another interview of the Blackened Technical Deathcore band Nihilist from USA, so here you can see and give a like to his FACEBOOK PAGE. We have nothing more to say, so enjoy this interview!

1.Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

It just kinda came out like that, honestly. We all discussed many names and one of the members came up with it on the spot and it stuck!

2.Why did you want to play this genre?

We all like a wide variety of different aspects of metal, whether it be heavy breakdowns or technical riffing or polyrhythmic grooves or symphonics or what have you, so we dont really like sticking to genre titles. But we decided that blackened technical deathcore (or death metal, either way) really fits our feels quite well,

No, none of us really knew eachother at all before we formed the band.
