This Podcast Kills Planets

Recently, we sat down with our komrades Panos Kourgiounis and Dimitris Skouras from the blog/podcast NDRGRND KMMNDZ, cracked open a few Alea beers, and dove into what turned out to be the most in-depth Dephosphorus interview to date.

The conversation traces our journey — from the Straighthate days all the way to the Planetoktonos era — touching on everything in between.

One thing though: it’s in Greek.

🎨 The diskette cover was designed by Tolis Yovanitis.

A conversation with Dephosphorus that traces events from the late 2000s to the present — a retrospective on their journey, an analysis of their discography and collaborations.
A voyage through a metastable universe, where sound becomes memory, thought becomes resistance, and creation becomes an act of cosmic survival.

Μια συνομιλία με τους Dephosphorus που καταγράφει τα γεγονότα από τα late 00’s έως σήμερα, αναδρομή στην πορεία, ανάλυση δισκογραφίας και συνεργασιών. Ένα ταξίδι σ’ ένα μετασταθερό σύμπαν, όπου ο ήχος γίνεται μνήμη, η σκέψη αντίσταση και η δημιουργία πράξη κοσμικής επιβίωσης.


In Memory of Tomas Lindberg (and an Unearthed 2002 Interview)

Here’s our thoughts in memory of Tomas Lindberg, as well as a special bonus.

  • Τhanos:

Yesterday, Tomas Lindberg passed away at the age of 52.

I will never forget the first time I listened to Terminal Spirit Disease back in my teenage years; that was when I realized how far ahead of their time At The Gates were, and what a phenomenal vocalist Tomas was. He and At The Gates became a major chapter in my life, and one of the serious reasons why I eventually moved to Sweden – to witness the Gothenburg sound phenomenon up close.

I first met him in Greece, when The Great Deceiver played there – a band I already admired since their epic EP Jet Black Art. I remember how relaxed and approachable he was, without the slightest trace of “superstar” attitude. Later, I was thrilled to attend the sold-out At The Gates show in Gothenburg, right after the release of At War With Reality. It was surreal to be in that city, in a venue packed to the brim, singing line by line classics like Suicide Nation and Slaughter of the Soul.

I will also remember the random times I ran into him in Gothenburg. I’ll never forget when he was DJing at a show in the legendary Truckstop Alaska – spinning Breach and other great bands, during the Oranssi Pazuzu + Atomikylä gig. Always restless, always a true music lover.

It is still very hard to believe that such a fantastic human being is gone – passionate, curious, and an inspiration for life itself.

My thoughts are with his family and close ones. His passing is a harsh reminder that nothing lasts forever.

Farewell Tomas, and thank you for everything.

  • Panos: 

I am heartbroken and shocked by the passing of Tomas Lindberg. He was one of the most prominent figures of my generation (Gen X) and a huge influence on me.

First and foremost, as a vocalist and lyricist. Back in 1995, Slaughter Of The Soul opened my eyes and ears to how screamed vocals—fitting and, in my opinion, more expressive than growls—could elevate aggressive, low-tuned music.

A few years later, I started screaming myself, and more than once my style was compared to his—a comparison I was humbled by and proudly embraced.

I also had the chance to interact with him on a couple of occasions, especially for Metal Hammer interviews (I still somehow have his number saved in my contacts). He struck me as a down-to-earth, gentle, humble, and deeply sensitive person.

I admired the fact that he was well-educated, politically conscious and engaged, carried a constructive attitude towards life and society, and managed to balance family life with his music career.

A small episode I’d like to share: on 14/4/2005, he played with The Great Deceiver at AN Club in Athens, with comrades Konkave as the main support act. We had prepared a song together, never recorded, entitled “Crooked Nose Messiah.” After Konkave’s set, Tomas came over and complimented my performance. My reply was little more than fanboy mumbling—a shy thank you.

It was just a short word and a pat on the back—but it meant, and still means, the world to me.

Oh, and let’s not forget: he co-designed one of the coolest—if not the coolest—metal band logos ever: Darkthrone’s.

Rest in Power, Tompa.

Your screams will resonate for eternity—through this universe and the next. 🖤

  • BONUS 2002 INTERVIEW

As a bonus, here’s something special: an interview Panos did with Tomas back in 2002 for Metal Hammer Greece, around the time The Great Deceiver dropped A Venom Well Designed. It never made it to English until now — so here it is, along with the original for our Greek-speaking friends.

The talk shows a lot of what we’ve been saying about him — his fire for music, his sharp mind, his love for life, family, and people. He was 30 then, seven years after Slaughter of the Soul, finally free from Earache, diving into new projects, already a dad of two.

So grab a beer, roll a joint, and ride with us back to that moment in time.

DEPHOSPHORUS

Τυχαία σύγκλιση
Βία εσκεμμένη και απάνθρωπη
Χλωμές φλέβες αιμορραγούν
Ατενίζοντας το γεμάτο κενό
Η μεγάλη ανθρώπινη επέκταση προς το
σκότος
Στις παρυφές του ηλιακού συστήματος
Αέριο ακτινοβολεί
Από το πλάσμα που ψύχεται
Φλεγόμενα άνθη
Αναδύονται από τους κινητήρες
Γκέϋζερ ενέργειας
Εκτοξεύονται προς τους αστεροειδείς
Μερικά πρωτεύοντα σε ένα μεταλλικό κουτί
Ανταλλάζοντας μάζα για ενέργεια
Διασχίζουν κενό μεγαλύτερο
Από ένα εκατομμύριο ωκεανούς
Αέριο ακτινοβολεί
Από το πλάσμα που ψύχεται
Φλεγόμενα άνθη
Αναδύονται από τους κινητήρες
Η μεγάλη επέκταση προς το σκότος
Χλωμές φλέβες αιμορραγούν
Ατενίζοντας το γεμάτο κενό

Random convergence
Deliberate and inhumane violence
Pale veins bleed
Gazing into the brimming void
The great human expansion towards the
darkness
At the edges of the solar system
Gas radiates
From the cooling plasma
Burning flowers
Emerge from the drives
Geysers of energy
Are launched towards the asteroids
A few primates in a metal box
Exchanging mass for energy
Traverse a chasm greater
Than a million oceans
Gas radiates
From the cooling plasma
Burning flowers
Emerge from the drives
The great expansion towards the darkness
Pale veins bleed
Gazing into the brimming void

KOMMPOUND/NAFTHALYN “Northward Equinox” split cassette

Hey guys!

As the release details about our new album and a forthcoming Athens gig will soon emerge, in the meantime check out Northward Equinox, a collaborative release between the personal projects of Thanos and Panos!

PRESS RELEASE

Title: Northward Equinox

Artists: Kommpound, Ναφθalyn (Nafthalyn)

Format: Cassette, digital (Bandcamp)

Pressing info: 100 white tapes packaged with 6-page booklet

Release date: 20/3/2024

Record labels: Blastbeat Mailmurder, Head To Avoid Recordings

Genres: field recordings, ambient, drone, noise, avant-folk.

For Fans Of: Tribes Of Neurot, Biosphere, Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement, Natural Snow Buildings, Harvestman, Sabers.

Northward Equinox is the collaboration of Kommpound and Ναφθalyn, the experimental projects of Panos Agoros and Thanos Mantas, respectively vocalist/lyricist and guitarist/songwriter of extreme underground act Dephosphorus.

It is a work inspired by and elaborated in anticipation of the Spring Equinox. It is packaged in a 6-page booklet, sporting beautiful photography by the talented Vasilis Gorogias while the layout has been elaborated by Lethargos Visuals.

Each cassette side clocking at 30 minutes, Kommpound deliver on their part 3 tracks oscillating between drone, ambient and noise. Their soundscapes are built around nature field recordings (notably some captured in Iceland) and heavily mutated sci-fi samples.

Ναφθalyn propose an electroacoustic trip, lifting off and coming down with 12-string guitars while in-between hypnotizing the audience with analogically generated noisy drones and loops.

This cassette and digital release is brought to you by the record labels of the two partners in crime, Blastbeat Mailmurder and Head To Avoid Recordings.

Bandcamp Friday 02sep2022

In other news, our 5th full-length album is almost ready. More details will be transmitted soon. Hails for the ongoing support and stay safe out there!


Rest In Power L.G. Petrov (1972-2021)

As most (all?) of you, we are heartbroken by the tragic death of L.G. Petrov, taken away too early from this cruel world at the age of 49 after a fierce fight with bile duct cancer.

He was the emblematic frontman of one of Dephosphorus’ favorite bands and influences (the live cover of Say It In Slugs back when myself and Thanos played with Straighthate, was the high point of our opening set for Cursed (CA) -heavily influenced by Entombed themselves- in Athens circa 2005).

I still remember the excitement of seeing them live with him back in 1994 supporting Wolverine Blues by opening for Napalm Death in Paris. Even though they were technically the support act, a big part of the audience came just to see them – leaving just before ND!

LG had an inimitable voice, sounding at the same time deep, expressive and super angry.

Most importantly though, everybody knew him as an all around great guy. He was the archetype of the cool metalhead/musician/music lover: passionate, talented but never taking himself too seriously.

Our hearts go to this family, band mates and loved ones.

Gone but not forgotten – REST IN POWER!

Panos/Dephosphorus
