For nearly four decades, NunSlaughter has occupied a unique corner of extreme metal. While countless bands have come and gone, reformed, reinvented themselves, or chased trends, the Ohio-based death metal institution has remained stubbornly committed to its own path. Their latest release, Satanic Chaos Legions, continues that tradition—delivering blasphemous aggression without sacrificing the band’s unmistakable identity.
In a wide-ranging conversation, Don of the Dead discusses everything from riding motorcycles along the China-Vietnam border and surviving treacherous winter tours to the origins of death metal, punk rock influences, Satanism, and why memorable songs matter more than relentless blast beats.
As Nunslaughter embarks on another European tour and releases Satanic Chaos Legions, Don remains curious about one thing above all else: which songs will survive.
Every album produces tracks that become live staples and others that quietly disappear. The audience ultimately decides.
After nearly 40 years, 300 songs, countless tours, motorcycle crashes, lineup changes, and endless debates about death metal history, NunSlaughter continues moving forward the same way it always has—without chasing trends, without reinventing itself, and without asking permission.
That’s a rare achievement in any genre.
And judging by Don of the Dead’s outlook, the chaos legions aren’t slowing down anytime soon.
