1- Hello, thanks for answering to our questions. What are you guys currently up to
Happy to! Brushing up on our skills to release this new record and get back on the stage to promote it
2- First off, could you make some history of the band?
We started in 2011 in Atlanta as a 4 piece. Everything coming out of the Southeast US at that time was super slow sludge stuff and we HATED it. Atlanta didn’t have anything that was fast, nasty, heavy, or really influenced by the shit we liked listening to, so we started our band. It was extremely well recieved. Eventually we recruited our 5th member Rafay and the rest is history!
3- How could you describe your sound?
Old school death metal with a touch of thrash and a bit of grind and hardcore punk. We like to call it Sewer Metal, ‘cause its not just gore, its got street grime on it too.
4- What are the band’s main musical influences?
Carcass, Cannibal Corpse, The Accüsed, Impaled, Vio-lence, countless Thrash and crossover acts, the Razorback Records bands around like 2003 and slasher movies.
5- How is the feedback for your new album being?
It hasn’t been released yet, but so far those who HAVE heard it have been really stoked on it.
6- And are your personally satisfied with the final outcome?
I think this record kicks ass. Its the best sounding stuff we’ve done, the songs are some of my favorites, my only regret is we couldn’t fit more on to the 7″
7- How could you describe this opus in just 3 words?
Real nasty shit.
8- How has the production process for your new release been?
Honestly, making this was pretty much a breeze. A couple studio sessions, remote everything else, solid end result.
9- And how do you use to work on the songwriting?
It will usually begin with a single riff, and if it inspires a mental image of a certain thing, we will work with that as a lyrical concept. From that point we will build on both the music and the lyrics at the same time, adding more or taking away until we feel we have a cohesive, finished song.
10 – Finally, what are you near-future plans?
We are just getting together to rehearse for a release show for this record. Past that, we have a ton of material just waiting to be heard.
11- That’s all from our side, thanks again for taking your time to answer our questions. If you now want to add some final words; feel free to do it.
Thanks for the interview!
