Lingüa Brütallica - Episode 42: Terry Vainoras of Subterranean Disposition (Melbourne, Australia)

Lingua Brutallica

In this episode, we talk to Terry Vainoras – the multitalented guitarist, vocalist, lyricist, and saxophonist of doom/death metal outfit, Subterranean Disposition. Terry guides us through the process or writing music that is decidedly experimental, featuring unexpected combinations of recognisably 'metal' lyrical themes, including death and rebirth, with non-traditional musical instrumentation involving saxophone melodies and jazz beats, which challenge metal’s archetypal genre boundaries. While Terry's lyrical composition engages with some of metal's canonical themes, he abstains from engaging with vulgarity, violence, and gore, choosing instead to blend rhyme, alliteration, and literary references to craft lyrics that are more romantic and poetic - capturing a distinctly old-world feel.
