They formed last<br \/>\nyear and soon after made waves with their debut EP No Reason to Live in November. The band<br \/>\noffered four quick and brutal tracks of old school death metal. Now they\u2019ve signed to Maggot<br \/>\nStomp and shared three more songs on their promo. Their debut full length will come out in<br \/>\n2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First off, thank you for being down to do an interview. Can you introduce yourself and<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>what you play in the band?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yo what\u2019s up thanks for the opportunity to do this, I\u2019m Eli and I play guitar in S2D. We\u2019re a<br \/>\ndeath metal band from Minneapolis, MN.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did Sentenced 2 Die get started and what inspired you originally to want to be in an<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>extreme metal band?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We started in 2021 as a not so serious band, and we just wanted to have a band in Minneapolis<br \/>\nthat played death metal in the hardcore scene.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you feel about being on Maggot Stomp and what can we expect from the<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>upcoming album?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s awesome, the roster is full of sick bands and Scott has done really important things for<br \/>\nhardcore, which we all love. The LP will be a mix of our first two releases sonically with some<br \/>\nnew ties of inspiration that I think will make an interesting record. While staying true to the<br \/>\nOSDM revival of course.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What were some of your influences in writing for Sentenced 2 Die?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I think of writing influences more so of bands that have made me want to pick up my guitar and<br \/>\nplay and those are Mental, Carry On, Steely Dan, John Mayer, Pig Destroyer, Fontaines DC, and<br \/>\nSkinless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did Sentenced 2 Die decide to be a straight edge band? What do you think about the<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>influence of hardcore in modern death metal?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was less a decision than more so happenstance honestly, which is very cool. The hardcore<br \/>\ninfluence on death metal goes back to the \u201890s, especially with bands like Internal Bleeding that<br \/>\nwere the first bigger death metal band full of hardcore kids I believe. With that being said, I think<br \/>\nthis crossover is way more common than people think and is in a sense essential to the genre.<br \/>\nDying Fetus for example still keeps very distinctly hardcore parts in their songs, but you can\u2019t in<br \/>\nmost situations mosh to them like you would at a hardcore show, which is why bands doing this<br \/>\nstyle are important.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sentenced 2 Die are a fresh death metal from Minneapolis, Minnesota.
