The idea for the band “Auszaat” was born sometime in 2018 during a heavy night of drinking. We wanted to create music and soundscapes according to our own vision, without compromise. In 2019, we entered the rehearsal room for the first time with our initial song ideas. This eventually led to the creation of Morast menschlicher Worte, and we began playing our first live shows. Since then, the lineup has remained largely unchanged, except for one change in the vocal position. Now, in April 2026, we have released our second full-length album, Trümmerethik, and we are looking forward to bringing it to the stage soon.
2.Recently you have released a new album, musically how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?
As musicians, we’ve continued to evolve, which we hope is noticeable when comparing the two albums. The song structures on Trümmerethik are more complex overall. We also made a conscious effort to incorporate stronger influences from death metal and hardcore into our sound.
3.This is also your first album in 5 years, can you tell us a little bit more about the wait in between releases?
After the release of our first album, we tried to play as many live shows as possible, with mixed success. However, we realized that live performances can become a limiting factor in the creative process, since maintaining and rehearsing an existing live set takes up time that could otherwise be spent developing new ideas.
4.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band has explored so far with the music?
We try to incorporate a range of lyrical themes into our music—both political and nonpolitical, as well as personal and more detached perspectives. On Trümmerethik, there are five tracks, each dealing with very different subject matters. Some lyrics take a critical stance on society, including antifascist and anti-capitalist elements, while others explore darker, more personal aspects of the human condition. Overall, the lyrics are written in a very open and interpretative way
5.I know that the bands name is Austro-Bavarian for overstretched' or 'worn', how does this name fit in with the musical style that you play?
“Auszaat” is Austrian dialect for “worn out” or “drained.” To what extent the band name influences the songs—or vice versa—is something we leave open to individual interpretation.
6.Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?
The artwork for Trümmerethik was created by Stefan Rindler (Nekrodeus, Saturnists), also known as Reldnir on Instagram. For a deeper interpretation, we prefer to refer directly to him, as he is the artist and we don’t feel it’s our place to speak on behalf of his work.
7.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?
One of our coolest shows was definitely in Italy at Il Grande Baccano in the summer of 2025. We also went on tour with good friends—just to name a few, Nekrodeus and Harrowist—which left us with a lot of great memories. We want to keep our live shows dark and simple, yet captivating. No lights to the faces, no breaks during the songs, no chatter, but an onholding stream of energy that keeps you in the void from which no sound escapes.
8.Do you have any touring or show plans for the new album?
At the moment, there are unfortunately no shows planned. However, we’re keeping our eyes open and hope that opportunities will come up soon. We’d love to bring Trümmerethik to bigger stages—or just as much to DIY venues. The main thing is being able to present our music live.
9.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?
We’ll see what the future brings. For the time being, we’re taking the DIY route, which we’re very happy with. However, if the right offer comes along from a label that fits us, we’re definitely open to discussions.
10.On a worldwide level how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black, sludge and doom metal?
The response we’ve received so far has been consistently positive. We know our sound isn’t suited for everyone—and that’s exactly how it should be.
11.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
We will intensify the way “Trümmerethik” sounds and feels.
12.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
There are many bands that inspire us individually. Each of us comes from different musical backgrounds, and we try to integrate those influences into our sound. However, there are some shared references as well, such as Oranssi Pazuzu, Knocked Loose, Russian Circles, Isis, and Amenra—just to name a few.
13.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
Thank you for the opportunity to introduce ourselves and to share a small glimpse into our work. We hope that our music can enrich a few people along the way, and we would be happy to welcome you at one of our shows. Cheers!
