For this edition of Ask The Artist, we head down to North Carolina — the land of barbecue, backroads, and unholy riffs — to catch up with VALAR MORGHULIS, a death/thrash/groove metal hybrid that’s been quietly sharpening its blades for the past year.
The band just dropped their brand-new Halloween single, “Predatory Impulse,” a feral, bone-rattling track featuring Mathis Greene of ATERRA — and a taste of what’s to come from their debut full-length, set for release in early 2026.
But before we talk about the album, we had one burning question for the guys:
“What are the 7 deadly sins if you were to choose — things you just can’t forgive other people for?”
Here’s what they said 👇
⚡ VALAR MORGHULIS’ 7 DEADLY SINS
“For us? Coming up with seven really ‘unforgivable’ things was tough. We picked seven that are more like everyday crimes against sanity — things that annoy us and probably everyone else too. Unforgivable? Nah. But they definitely piss us off.”
1️⃣ Can’t forgive people who talk on speakerphone in a restaurant 🤣
2️⃣ Can’t forgive people who don’t put their cart back
3️⃣ Can’t forgive people who park like assholes and take up two spaces and shit
4️⃣ Can’t forgive people who start shit, then call the cops
5️⃣ Can’t forgive assholes who camp out in the left lane
6️⃣ And the cardinal cannot: Cannot forgive motherfuckers who do 35–45 mph getting ON THE FUCKING INTERSTATE!!!
7️⃣ People who are cunts. About everything.
Seven modern sins. Zero mercy.
👻 New Single: “Predatory Impulse” (feat. Mathis Greene of Aterra)
Just in time for Halloween, Valar Morghulis unleashed their new single “Predatory Impulse” — a twisted, groove-laden monster that stalks and strikes with precision. With the snarling guest vocals of Mathis Greene (ATERRA), the track channels the primal hunger and creeping dread of a world where instinct always wins.
Listen to “Predatory Impulse” now and prepare for the hunt:
