Underworld War is made up of extreme sounds from genres such as martial, power electronics, death industrial, harsh noise wall, gore noise, rhythmic noise, powerviolence and an aggressive style of spoken word, including parts recorded under improvisation and live performance.

Underworld War goes beyond the raw and chaotic sound it represents. Inspired a post-apocalyptic world where destruction is the only vital principle, this is a future vision of the decadent world in which we will live, where humans will be hunted by other humans, where the earth will once again be wild, where we will regress to what we were: unscrupulous beings, with a predatory instinct and with a single purpose: to survive. Man is the most ruthless beast that has ever set foot on the planet, and after thousands of years of progress towards the evolution and civilization of humanity, we are doomed to taking the reverse path towards uncertainty and the survival of our species. We are our greatest enemy, and the course of history has shown this. Economic, ideological, territorial wars, and a new model of biological warfare that is in full swing. The idea of ​​peace is far from the world today, and it is an irrevocable march towards progressive annihilation caused by competition and the visceral desire for conquest. This war has already broken out for a long time back, but it is an underground war; more complex, massive and technical. Returning to our wildest roots through the extermination of this civilization already caducous, is the only possible destination of an end that will bring a new beginning, where life and death come together in the same reality.

"I postulate the conception of an instinct for death or destruction. War is the expression of our unconscious desire for destruction. We will unmask man as a savage beast who knows no respect for beings of his own species. If I tell you to remember those horrors of the great migrations, of the irruptions of the Huns, of the Mughals under Genghis Khan and Timur, of the conquest of Jerusalem by the crusaders and even the cruelties of the last World War, you will have to humbly bow to reality of this conception".
