Thanks a lot for all the positive feedback on the MANTAS / DEATH / MASSACRE interview so far. Since the answer about the different versions of the “Death By Metal” demo might have been a bit confusing, Kam came up with a clearer version, which is part of the interview now. So, the answer to the “There have been two editions of the “Death By Metal” demo…” question was changed a little bit.

On March 13, 2026 Primitive Reaction will release “Hate Speech”, the debut full-length from Ukrainian Black / Death Metal duo BRAS D’HONNEUR, on CD and vinyl LP formats. It will feature the following tracks: ‘Trench Knife’, ‘Scum Of The Earth’, ‘Regicide’, ‘Main De Gloire’, ‘Eaten Alive By The Pigs’, ‘Crown Of Nails’, ‘Stench Of The Rotten Blood’, ‘Poisoning The Hearts With Malice’, ‘Disemboweled’, ‘Goat Rapists’, ‘Judas Cradle’, ‘Bras D’honneur’ and ‘Sheep In Wolf’s Clothing’. BRAS D’HONNEUR is a new project of R and V, who are together already known for DRUDKH, PRECAMBRIAN, BLOOD OF KINGU and RATTENFÄNGER among others. www.facebook.com/primitivereaction666
