在当今地下音乐场景中，来自Newfoundland的单人项目Deathexecution以高产和多变的风格逐渐受到关注。从Black Metal到Dungeon Synth，再到更极端的声音实验，他的创作始终围绕着死亡与内心世界展开。本次，我们邀请他进行了一次简单的交流，聊聊他的音乐与创作。

（V: 代表笔者 T: 代表Thanatos）

In today's underground music scene, the single player project Deathexecution from Thanatos is gradually gaining attention for its high productivity and versatile style. From Black Metal to Dungeon Synths, and even more extreme sound experiments, his creations always revolve around death and the inner world. This time, we invited him for a brief exchange to talk about his music and creations.

采访对象：Thanatos（Deathexecution乐队创始人）

采访时间：2026.04.24

V: 嘿，兄弟，你好！欢迎你接受我们的采访，这应该是你第一次接受来自中国金属乐杂志的采访。请先简单介绍一下你的单人黑金属 / 地牢合成项目。 V: Hey man, welcome, and thanks

for doing this interview. This should be your first time being interviewed by a Chinese metal magazine. Could you briefly introduce your one-man black metal / dungeon synth project?

T: 首先，感谢你进行这次采访。这是我第一次参与任何类型的采访，更不用说与来自中国的记者进行采访了。我叫Thanatos，是项目Deathexecution的创始人和唯一成员。我主要创作Black Metal和Dungeon Synth音乐dungeon synth，但也创作一些激烈的噪音音乐、氛围音乐和Keller synth音乐。

First of all, thank you for the interview. This is my first time doing any interview at all, let alone with one from china. I am Thanatos, the founder and only member of the project Deathexecution. I mainly make black metal and dungeon synth, but i also have some harsh noise, ambient, and keller synth.

V: 你在加拿大纽芬兰这个相对偏远的地区创作，这种地理环境是否影响了你的音乐氛围和表达方式？ 

You create music in Newfoundland, a relatively remote part of Canada. Has this environment influenced the atmosphere and expression of your music?

T: 纽芬兰在许多方面启发了我，主要是因为在大自然中所感受到的种种情绪：溪流缓缓流淌、风吹过森林、树叶和树枝发出的咔嚓声，但这些声音都被扭曲了，仿佛你是一个与自然格格不入的外星人。

newfoundland has inspired me in many ways, mainly feelings you get while in nature. The slow flow of a stream, wind blowing through a forest, the crunching of leaves and branches, but distorted. As if you are an alien to nature.

V: Deathexecution 最初是作为一种“应对人生创伤的机制”而诞生的，可以谈谈你的创作来源吗？

Deathexecution was originally formed as a coping mechanism for life’s trauma. Could you talk about the origins of your creative inspiration?

T: 我于2023—2024年创立了DeathExecution乐队（我记不清确切时间了）。我的父亲于2012年自杀，而我的继父则于2024年被谋杀。我需要找到一种方式来宣泄对一切的愤怒，因此我决定将这种情绪转化为音乐。痛苦依然存在，但它已成为了我生命的一部分，就像死亡始终存在一样。我学会了接受它，甚至从音乐中受益。我在死亡的过程中发现了美，从腐烂的肉体到蠕动的蛆虫都是如此。这种现象在现代社会已成为禁忌，我认为我们需要更加接受它。

I formed deathexecution in 2023-2024 (I cant remember exactly when) my father took his life in 2012, and my step father was murdered in 2024. I needed something to death with the anger of everything, so I decided to channel it into my music. The pain is still here, but its become a part of me, just as death always has. I’ve learned to accept it, and even benefit from it with my music. I find beauty in the process of death, from the rotting flesh to the writhing maggots. Its become a taboo in modern society, and i think we need to be more accepting of it.

V: 你在短短一年内发布了大约 10 部作品，这种高强度的创作状态是如何维持的？是否很消耗情绪？ 

You’ve released around 10 works in just one year. How do you maintain such an intense creative pace? Is it emotionally draining?

T: 我热爱创作音乐，我并不认为有必要为所有作品固守一种特定的风格。我许多作品的诞生仅仅是因为我遇到了其他艺术家并希望与他们合作推出合辑。我必须创作出一种能与他们的风格相匹配的作品，这导致了各种不同的声音和流派的出现。我并不觉得这比生活更疲惫，因为这是我所热爱的事情。它让我保持前进的动力。

I love making music, and i dont see a point in sticking to one specific sound for everything. Lots of my releases were only created because i met other artists and wanted to do splits with them. I had to make something that fits with their style, which leads to all the different sounds and genres. I dont find it any more tiring than living, as its what I love doing. It keeps me going.

V: 你的作品涉及Black Metal、Dungeon Synth、Harsh Noise，甚至 Keller Synth 和 Goregrind，你是如何在这些风格之间切换的？ 

Your work spans black metal, dungeon synth, harsh noise, and even keller synth and goregrind. How do you navigate between these different styles?

T: 我从其他艺术家那里获得一些随机的灵感，但有时这些灵感无法转化为Black Metal/Dungeon Synth风格的歌曲，所以我就会对其进行修改，创作一些不同的作品。Gutted Records和 Blackstar Occulto的许多人都曾启发过我，促使我尝试其他类型的音乐。

I get random bits of inspiration from other artists, and sometimes that ends up not working as a black metal/dungeon synth song so ill change it up and make some different shit. lots of the guys from gutted records and blackstar occulto have inspired me and got me to branch out into other genres.

V: 你提到“不会局限于一种风格”，这种创作自由是否会让你的音乐更接近直觉而非计划？ 

You mentioned that you don’t stick to one style. Does this creative freedom make your music more intuitive rather than planned?

T: 我的音乐氛围反映了我的心理状态，我不会对此加以限制。我很少会为某个特定想法而创作专辑，比如"Xanax Blackout"或"The Beauty of My Sorrow"……我认为与其一遍又一遍地强迫自己做同样的事情，不如直接创作自己想做的音乐要好得多。

The atmosphere of my music reflects my state of mind, and I don’t limit it. There are few albums of mine that I wrote with a specific idea in mind, such as Xanax Blackout or The Beauty of My Sorrow… i think its a lot better to just make what you want to instead of forcing yourself to do the same thing over and over.

V: 你的音乐主题集中在死亡、自杀、厌世等内容，这些主题对你来说更像是宣泄、观察，还是某种哲学表达？ 

Your music focuses on themes like death, suicide, and misanthropy. Are these themes more of an emotional release, an observation, or a form of philosophical expression for you?

T: 这既是一种情感宣泄，也是一种哲学观念。正如我之前所说，我曾多次与死亡打交道，这已使我对死亡变得麻木。我再也看不到害怕死亡的必要性了。作为人类，我们已经与死亡疏远了，对大多数人而言，死亡已成为一种未知的存在。我的目标是向他人展示，死亡并非未知之物，因为你也曾处于过那种你深感恐惧的黑暗虚无之中。

Its both an emotional release and philosophy. As I said previously I’ve death with death a lot, and its desensitized me to it. I see no point in fearing it anymore. We as humans have become estranged from death, it has become the unknown for most. I aim to show others that death is not the unknown, as you were once in the same void of black that you are so deeply afraid of returning to.

V: 在Black Metal与Dungeon Synth之间，你如何看待“暴烈”与“氛围”这两种极端表达的关系？

Between black metal and dungeon synth, how do you view the relationship between “aggression” and “atmosphere” as two extreme forms of expression?

T: 我发现Black Metal与Dungeon Synth之间的差异非常有趣。前者极其刺耳且尖锐，而后者则平静且流畅。这两种音乐风格反映了世界中的美好与丑恶。它们都可以用来传达深刻的情感，但两者（幸运的是）都被大多数社会所摒弃，就像我们的感情一样。

I find the difference between Black metal and Dungeon synth very interesting. One is extremely abrasive and sharp, the other is calm and smooth. It reflects both the good and bad in the world. Both can be used to convey deep emotion, yet both are (thankfully) dismissed by most of society, just as our emotions are.

V: 作为一个单人项目，你在创作过程中是否更享受完全的掌控，还是会感到孤立？ 

As a one-man project, do you enjoy having full control over your work, or do you sometimes feel isolated during the creative process?

T: 我非常感激自己能够成为Deathexecution背后的唯一推动力，因为这使我能够以任何我认为必要的方式充分表达自己。我喜爱与其他艺术家合作制作合辑，但我的作品始终属于我本人。这一点不会改变。我并不将孤独视为一个问题，因为我本来就不常出门，因此与他人缺乏互动并不让我感到困扰。

Im very thankful that i am able to be the sole force behind Deathexecution, as it allows me to fully express myself in any way that i deem necessary. I love working with other artists for split albums, but my work is mine alone. That will not change. I don’t see the isolation as an issue, I barely leave my house to begin with so the lack interaction with others is not a bother.

V: 你如何看待地下音乐圈对你作品的反馈？这些反馈会影响你的创作吗？ 

How do you view feedback from the underground music scene? Does it influence your creative direction?

T: 如果有人有有价值的话要说，我会将其考虑在内，但我确实努力保持我的音乐创作初衷。在很大程度上，我只接受其他艺术家的批评，因为他们比非艺术家更了解创作过程。

If someone has something of value to say i will take it into consideration, however i do try to stay true to my original intentions with my music. For the most part I only take criticism from other artists as they understand the creation process much better than a non artist would.

V: 最后你认为Deathexecution最核心的精神或理念是什么？ 

Finally, what do you think is the core spirit or philosophy behind Deathexecution?

T: Deathexecution就是我，这是我的肉体、我的血液、我的思想，以及我的死亡。

Deathexecution is me, it is my flesh, my blood, my mind, and my death.

V: 请向中国乐迷说几句话，便于让更多人关注到你。再次感谢你接受访谈！
