SPITE Brothers Darius & Alex Tehrani Talk ‘New World Killer,’ Pantera, and Staying True – Metal Nation Interview

In a new Metal Nation interview, SPITE frontman Darius Tehrani and guitarist Alex Tehrani dive deep into the creation of their upcoming album New World Killer, out tomorrow, October 31st. The brothers open up about the process behind the band’s most aggressive and emotionally charged record to date—one that captures both the fury and focus of a group evolving without compromise.

Speaking about the making of New World Killer, Darius shares how the project came together through chaos and clarity: “This record is us channeling everything—anger, loss, frustration—but turning it into something purposeful.” Alex adds that the two music videos filmed for the release had their share of hurdles, including “some bad timing” with the first one’s rollout, but the results “represent exactly what SPITE stands for—raw, unapologetic honesty.”

The interview also teases SPITE’s upcoming U.S. tour, where the band plans to bring New World Killer to life with the same ferocity that’s defined their reputation. Both brothers reflect on the impact of Pantera, a band that shaped their live energy and approach to authenticity. “Pantera showed us that heavy music isn’t just about riffs—it’s attitude,” Darius explains. When asked about their favorite album, Alex doesn’t hesitate: “Vulgar Display of Power. It’s the perfect mix of groove, aggression, and soul.”

Despite their brutal sound, both emphasize kindness and gratitude as essential to SPITE’s ethos. “Be kind, respect the fans, and stay grounded,” Darius insists. The conversation closes on a lighter note with the brothers revealing their love for horror movies, from classics like The Texas Chain Saw Massacre to modern psychological thrillers.

With New World Killer arriving this Halloween, SPITE stands poised to reaffirm their dominance—driven by authenticity, brotherhood, and the relentless pursuit of truth through sound.
