The Hypothesis/Origin/Inverse Records/2016 CD Review

  The  Hypothesis are  a  band from  Finland  that  plays  a  very  modern  and  melodic  form  of  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2016  album  "Origin"  which  will  be  released  in  May  by  Inverse  Records.

  Synths  and electronic  music  sounds  start  off  the  album  before  going  into  a  more  modern  and  heavier  metal  musical  direction  while  also  mixing  in  with  the  electronic  elements  at  times  and  after  awhile  death  metal  growls  and  screams  make  their  presence  known  on  the  recording  and  melodic singing  can  also  be  heard  at  times.

  Elements  of  groove  metal  can  be  heard  in  some parts  of  the  songs  and  the  solos  and  leads  also use  a  great  amount  of  melody  and  when t he  music  speeds  up  a  small  amount   of  blast  beats  can  be  heard  while t he  riffs  get  more  melodic  as  the  recording  progresses  and  the  songs  also  bring  in  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  all  of  the  musical  instruments  sound  very  powerful  and  some  tracks also  bring  in  a  small  amount  of  clean  guitars  while  the  synths also  get  very  symphonic  at  times.

  The  Hypothesis  plays  a  style  of melodic  death  metal  that  is  very  modern  and  also  mixes  in  elements  of  electronic  music  which  also  makes  the  songs  stand  out  a  bit  more,  the  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics  cover dark and  real  life  themes.

  In  my  opinion  The  Hypothesis  are  a  very  great  sounding  modern  melodic  death  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Leak"  "Exit"  and  "Weak  Story".  8  out  of  10.

Dead Edition Interview

1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the band?

Cheers everyone! We are Dead Edition from Kiev, Ukraine. We play modern/groove metal since 2013.  

2.In February you had released on ep, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording?

We've got a mix of really powerfull guitar sound, agressive drums, badass distorted bass and melodic parts.

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?

Our lyrics is mostly about the problems of modern society.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Dead Edition'?

We still can find some meaning in this name but to be honest it's just a band name. We have something to say to the world but it's not in our band name, it's inside of our music.

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?

Probably our best live show was the presentation of our album, we've got some special synergy that night. Besides that we played in Kiev clubs before the ep release.

6.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?

Yes, we have some tour plans: we want to visit some Ukrainian cities and hope to visit Europe this summer.

7.Currently the band is signed to 'Farn Black Productions', can you tell us a little bit more about this label?

This is a young label owned by our bassist. It was created just several months ago and is specialized on such genres as black metal, doom metal, ritual ambient, sometimes ethnic and oriental music and so on. Dark and evil. It was an exception for Dead Edition since the owner of the label is a band member.

8.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of melodic death or groove metal?

Not only MDM and groove fans listen to our music, the feedback from all metal fans is very good so far.

9.When can we expect a full length album and also where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

We are working on some new songs but now we are concentrated more on the promotion of Network Failure. Maybe after the tour we will make something new.

10.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?

We all listen to very different music: from progressive to brutal death and black metal. Main influence for me as for a songwriter comes from Machine Head, Trivium, Arch Enemy and Sepultura.

11.What are some of your non musical interests?

Our drummer is a cooker, bassist is a software engineer but for me music is my everything, I study in music college on classic guitar.

12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

Thanks for the interview, cheers to all fans of metal music, support our band and stay metal!

Subliminal Fear/Escape From Leviathan/Inverse Records/2016 CD Review

 Subliminal  Fear  are  a  band  from  Italy  that  plays  a  very  modern  form  of  melodic  death  metal  with  elements  of  industrial  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2016  album  "Escape From  Leviathan"  which  will  be  released  in  May  by  Inverse  Records.

  Industrial  style  synths  start  off  the  album  along  with some  heavy  guitar  riffing  a  few  seconds  later  that  also  gives  the  music  more  of  a  modern  prog  metal  feeling  and  after  awhile  clean  singing  vocals  and  high  pitched  screams  are  added  onto  the  recording  along  with  some  death  metal  growls  and  the  riffs  also  use  a  decent  amount  of  melody.

  All  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  and  the  music  also  mixes  in  sci  fi  elements  at  times  and  some  of  the  tracks  are  long  and  epic  in  length  and  the  songs  stick  to  mostly  a  slow  or  mid  paced  musical  direction  while  there  is  a  brief  use  of  fast  riffs  and  blast  beats  and  some  songs  also  bring  in  a  small  amount  of  symphonic  elements  and  they  also  bring  in  a  cover  of  Talk  Talk's  "Living  In  ANother  World"  while  the  remaining  tracks  are  all  originals  and  none  of  the  tracks  ever  use  any  guitar  solos  or  leads. 

  Subliminal  Fear  plays  a  musical  style  that  takes  a  very  modern  form  of  melodic  death  metal  and  mixes  it  in  with  industrial  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own,  the  production  sounds  very  professional  while  the  lyrics cover  a  futuristic  and  apocalyptic  vision  of  the  world  and  society  that  is  also  inspired  by  science  fiction  movies.

  In  my  opinion  Subliminal  Fear  are  a  very  great  sounding  modern  mixture  of  melodic  death  metal  and  industrial  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  band,  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Phantoms  Or  Drones"  "Escape  From  Leviathan"  "Living  In  Another  World"  and  "Self  Proclaimed  Gods".  8  out  of  10.

The Devils of Loudun Interview

1.Can you give us an update on what is going on with the band these days?
1. It's an exciting time to be a part of The Devils of Loudun, we have a release coming on August the 8th titled Enduring Creation, and we are touring the Western United States on the 13th for it. When we come back, we have new material in the works, as well as a host of shows across the Puget Sound to look forward to.

2.The band has a new ep coming out, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording and also how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?
2. The new EP is definitely a darker, faster, and heavier take on the sound we started with when we released Entering Oblivion, our first EP. I would say that the songs are much fuller, both in the sense of notation as well as the actual sound of the mix itself. The overall theme remains the same, we are equal parts spooky and intense, with a solid dose of shred.

3.The lyrics cover fantasy, science fiction, horror and video game themes, can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in these topics?
3. Well, we are all big fans of video games, there's talk of a WLAN party in the van for tour. A lot of us own or have used classic systems and we're all giant Castlevania nerds. Several of us enjoy a Stephen King novel or movie, and we have been known to occasionally reference Frank Herbert's Dune every now and then.

4.I know that the bands name comes form a novel written in Aldous Huxley, do the band members have an interest in the history of witch burning and also does this interest also move more into Occultism?
4. I don't think that any of us have any real interest in occultism or witch burning, but we just happened to like the story. Several of us are fans of Huxley in general, I'd definitely recommend The Devils of Loudun and Brave New World to anyone interested. I'm pretty sure they're both available in audiobook form for the audiobookers.

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played over the years and also how would you describe your stage performance?

5. Our stage performance places a lot of focus on instrumentation and our frontman, Vance. Most of the other members of the band, while attempting to headbang and move around (where possible!), are generally focused on trying to get the songs right. We eventually hope to get a light rig of our own together, but we're primarily focused on sound at the moment. As for our best shows, a lot of us like to think back to a Metal Awards Night at Hell's Kitchen in Tacoma, WA. That was several years ago, certainly one of the memorable local shows we played. We also really had a badass time at The Caravan Lounge in San Jose during our Entering Oblivion Tour, the bands, the crowd, and the house were all really wonderful to us out there.

6.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?
6. Yes, we are on tour from the 13th to the 24th of April, we have another tour in the works for late summer / early fall. Lots of Seattle shows, we use the BandsInTown app as well as our Facebook page and its built in Events app to organize what we've got going on. Our homecoming from tour and our local CD release is the 29th at The Kraken Bar in the University District of Seattle, WA. It's gonna be a killer night.

7.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?
7. We have received interest, and we are open to the right agreement if it were to come our way. Currently, we are doing very well independently, and plan to continue to move forward whether we sign to a label or not.

8.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of melodic and symphonic death metal?
8. We've been pleasantly surprised to get a lot of positive feedback worldwide. We've been played in Europe, Asia, Oceania, as well as both Americas. Our first torrent was established in Russia, and it was very interesting to read their opinions through Google Translate. We really have a lot of interest in breaking into the European market, we feel we are very compatible for an American band.

9.What is going on with some of the other bands or musical projects these days that some of the band members are a part of?
9. Vance is still working on Six Days of Darkness, but it hasn't been as busy with Devils taking up so much of his time. Still active on Facebook, though! Billy is drumming for Good Men and Thorough, and they are a very interesting jam / cover band. Ben is half-jokingly, half-serious playing around with starting an Undertale OST cover band, as well as occasionally making guest appearances for local groups in the state very rarely. Scott, Drew, and LJ are entirely focused on Devils at this time.

10.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
10. In the future, we have a concept album in the works, we are mulling around another EP, we plan to get faster, more brutal, and more technical in the future. Enduring Creation is a solid sample of the direction we are going, we plan to incorporate a lot of aspects of symphonic death metal and technical death metal into our future releases. Of course, we are not getting rid of our more melodic sections, if anything, we are working to make those some of the focal points of our songs, while still heading firmly towards a much heavier sound.

11.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?
11. We've taken a lot from many different styles. Japanese metal, French metal, Italian metal, Finnish metal, Swedish metal, American metal, even the freaking Canucks have had an influence on us. We're all fans of Fleshgod Apocalypse, Protest the Hero, Behemoth, Gorod, Archspire, we've been getting into the new Cattle Decapitation and the new Obscura as well. We highly recommend Raiju, Xoth, and Rhine recently released a new CD, definitely check it out. It almost feels like it goes without saying, but Ben was very heavily influenced by Children of Bodom.

12.What are some of your non musical interests?

12. We love a good beer, some of us are enjoying the new legal status of marijuana in our home state. Several of us are tech enthusiasts, we all have custom gaming PCs and sometimes we binge way late into a work night on games like Skyrim or DOTA. Drew is really into yoga, Billy has no non musical interests. Seriously, that guy is a machine.

13.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
13. We appreciate you doing this interview with us, we hope that everyone who checks out our music enjoys it, and hopefully if our tour isn't stopping where any potential readers can reach us, we'll be coming to their town very soon! Stay brutal!

Gluttony/Sordid Flesh/Vic Records/2016 SplitCD Review

  This  is  a  review  of  a  split album  between  Sweden's  Gluttony  and Sordid  Flesh  which  will  be  released  in  April  by  Vic  Records  and  we  will  start  off  the  review  with  Gluttony  a  band  that  plays  a  very  old  school  form  of  death  metal  and  their  side contains  2  new  songs  and  their  2012  demo  "Coffinborn".

  Their  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  a  heavy  guitar  sound  and  death  metal  growls  a  few  seconds  later  and  after  awhile  the  music  speeds  up  along  with  a  great  amount  of  blast  beats  and  melodic  riffing  and  the  music  is  very  heavily  rooted  in  the  early  90's  Swedish  style  and  the  songs  also  bring  in  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.

   High  pitched  screams  can  also  be  heard  in  some  parts  of  their  songs  and  all  of  the  musical  instruments  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  while  the  songs  also  sound  like  they  could  of  easily been  recorded  and  released  20  years  ago  and  their  side  of the  split always  remains heavy  and  they  close  with  a  cover  of  Rolling  Stone's  "Paint  It  Black",  the  production  on  their side  of  the  split  sounds  very  old  school  while  the  lyrics  cover  zombies  and  gore  themes.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Gluttony  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  old  school  death  metal,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of t he  split.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Glory  To  The  Rope"  and  "Coffinborn".

  Next  up  is  Sordid  Flesh  a  band  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  and  plays  an  old  school  form  of  death  metal  with  some  elements  of  thrash  and  black  metal.

 Their  side  of  the  split  starts  out  with  a  very  heavy  90's  style  death  metal  sound  along  with  some blast  beats  and  thrash  style  leads  and  you  can  also  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on  their  side  of  the  recording  and  the  vocals  also  use  a  great  mixture  of  both  screams  and  growls.

   You  can  also  hear  melodies  in  the  guitar  riffing  while  the  songs  also  bring  in  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  you  can  also  hear  a  touch  of  black  metal  in t he  bands  musical  style  and  there  side of  the  split  also  always  sticks  to  a  very  heavy  and  old  school  style  and  they  close  their  side  of  the  split  with  a  cover  of  Judas  priest's  "Ram  It  Down", the  production  on t heir  side  of  the  split  sounds  very  old  school  while  the  lyrics  cover  anti  religion,  the  undead  and  gore  themes.

  In  my opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  Sordid  Flesh  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  old  school  death  metal  with  a  touch  of  thrash  and  black  metal,  you  should  check  out  their  side  of  the  split.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Lowest  Of  the  Low"  and  "Sordid  Flesh".

  In  conclusion  I  feel  this  is  a  very  great  sounding  split  and  I  would  recommend  it  to  all  fans  of  death  metal.  8  out  of  10.      

Pronostic Interview

1.Can you give us on what is going on with the band these days?

Well, we've released a video clip for our song "Bécik" and people really seem to dig it. We are also starting to play outside of our home area, which is huge for us, because we've basically been playing Montreal for the most part of our shows, so now we'll get to see new faces and hopefully do more shows around the province and the country.

2.So far you have released an ep and a full length, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on both of the recordings and also how do they differ from each other?

The first record was a bit more old school, we were discovering new things and trying to find what musical directions we wanted to take to create our sound. The second time around with "An Atomic Decision" we had defined our sound somewhat, but there was still something missing... That one magic spice. So we added some "Caliente Mexicano Flammento" flavors to the mix, which explains the more aggressive sound in our music.

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?

We write about things that are going on in our actuality the way we see it. Like violence, murders, drugs, the health system... We try to no overdo it or anything and just stay true to what we think.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Pronostic'?

Pronostic is french for "Prognostic". It is a medical term used to predict what the patient's symptoms/ illness will develop into, which is pretty metal. And we can all sort of relate to it since we don't know what's coming and can only predict what we think is going to happen in the future.

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and also how would you describe your stage performance?

We've had the chance to play awesome shows with bands like Dying Fetus, Beyond Creation, Anonymus, Self Collapse, B.A.R.F. , Obey The Brave, Brought By Pain.... Just to name a few.

Our stage performance is very active. La Vie becomes an absolute monster when we perform hahaha. We just have fun and do our thing, while having visual contact with the crowd. We believe in interacting with the crowd/ fans as much onstage as off stage.

6.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?

For right now we're just trying to play shows outside of the Montreal area. We may be going in the works for a tour this summer, but that's not for sure though. We do have a headlining show booked this summer with our boiiz in First Fragment, Unbreakable Hatred and About: BlanK at The Foufounes Electriques in Montreal which we are very stoked about.

7.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest"

We are looking for a label, but haven't really gotten any interest so far. It's as easy as it is difficult to get a decent record contract - let alone being approached by a record label for a future partnership at all. We can't just wait on getting signed to keep our music alive though, so we'll just keep doing what we do and try to push ourselves to the next level. If we do get approached, well... That's another case we have yet to open.

8.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of melodic and technical death metal?

It has been extremely good. We've had a certain amount of feedback from some people in France and a few european countries with "Deviated Inner Spectrum". But when we released "An Atomic Decision", oh man, we've been getting orders from pretty much everywhere around the world and people are writting to us about how they love our music and hope to see us play in their country, which is pretty rad, man. We were even top sellers in the Tech Death Metal category on Bandcamp.com! Plus we've been getting great reviews for An Atomic Decision, which is awesome.

9.Are any of the band members involved with any bands or musical projects these days?

Le Fou currently has a deathcore band called Rosewood, a punk band called Gilbert & Les Amis de Tom with whom he also does a Tony Hawk's Pro Skater tribute and his side project Abort The Child which will hopefuly soon be coming back into the works.

La Vie has an acoustique duo called LaVie.tv with Gilbert from Le Fou's punk band. They do covers and might be writing their own compositions as well. He also plays bass in Abort The Child and has a Cypress Hill tribute called Cypress Chill and does a few featuring's in Montreal's Limp Bizkit tribute called Pimp Bizkit.

10.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?

We basically try to stick to our recipe while adding new elements to make it more interesting. We don't try to be repetitive, we want to bring something new to the table.

11.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your newer music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

The musical world and the music industry are constantly evolving with every step we take. We are influenced by practically all styles and types of music, which is why you can hear many different styles of riffs in our songs. We aren't hooked to one particular style of music. It's sort of like a painting. You can paint with only one color and be amazing at it, but it would get boring if everyone is doing the same thing. By adding different colors and textures to your painting, you can create a beautiful masterpiece and the combinations are endless.


12.What are some of your non musical interests?

Cooking, hunting, fishing, drinking, going to shows, movies, trips, gaming, partying.

13.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?

Shoutout to our homies in Beyond Creation, Brought By Pain, About: BlanK, Augury, Cryptopsy, Unbreakable Hatred, Depths Of Hatred, Obliterate, Chariots Of The Gods and First Fragment.

Dans l'cul.

VHS/Screaming Mad Gore/2016 Full Length Review

  VHS  are  a band  from  Ontario,  Canada  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  and  plays  an  old  school  mixture  of  death,  metal,  thrash  and  grindcore  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released 2016  album  "Screaming  Mad  Gore"  which  will  be  released  in  April.

  Horror  movie  samples start  off  the  album  and  after  the  intro  the  music  goes  into   a  very  fast  grindcore  direction  along  with  some  screams  and  death  metal  growls  and  the  music  is  more  close  to  the  80's  era  of  the  genre  along  with  a  touch  of  punk  and  the  riffs  also  bring  in  melodies  in  some  parts  of  the  songs.

  All  of  the  musical  instruments  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  and  horror  movie  samples  also  return  in certain  sections  of  the  recording  and  most  of  the  tracks  are  very  short  in  length  and  halfway  through  the  recording  solos  and  leads  are  added  into  the  music  along  with  some  thrash influences  and  all  of  the  songs  stick  to  a  very  heavy  and  old  school  extreme  metal  sound  and  one  song  also  brings  in  a  brief  use  of  melodic  singing  in  the  background.

  VHS  creates  another  recording  that  takes  the  80's  styles  of  grindcore,  death  metal  and  thrash  and  mix  them  together  while  focusing  more  on the  grind  a  lot  more  than  on  the  previous  release,  the  production  sounds  very  old  school  while  the  lyrics  cover  80's  horror  movies.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  sounding  recording  from  VHS  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  80's  death  metal,  grindcore  and  thrash,  you  should  enjoy  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE "Screaming  Mad  Gore"  "Fornicating  In  The  Furniture  Store"  "Radioactive  rat  Attack"  and  "Demons".  8  out  of  10.   

D.A.M/Premonitions/2016 EP Review

  D.A.M  are  a  band from  Brazil  that  has  been  featured  before  in this  zine  and  plays  a  very  melodic  form  of  death  metal  and  this is  a  review  of  their  self  released 2016  ep  "Premonitions".

  Tragic  sounding  keyboards  start  off  the  ep  which  also  leads  up  to  more  of  a  heavier  and  symphonic  musical  direction  before  adding  in  some  melodic  riffing  and  screams  that  take  the  music  more  into  a  death  metal  direction  and  clean  singing  can  also  be  heard  in  the  music  at  times  while  the  solos  and  leads  are  done  in  more  of  a  classic  metal  style  with a  touch  of  neo-classical.

  Throughout  the  recording  there  is  a  great  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  the  music  also  mixes  in  a  lot  of  prog  and  modern  metal  elements  and  the  vocals also use  growls  at  times  along  with  most  of  the  tracks  being  very  long  and  epic  in  length  and  violins  are  also  brought  into  the  music  at  times  and  all  of  the  musical  instruments  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  and  as  the  ep  progresses  black  metal  influences  and  female  vocals  can  also  be  heard  briefly  and  the  last  track also  introduces  classical  guitars  into  the  music.

 D.A.M  plays  a  style  of  death  metal  on  this  recording  that  is  very  melodic,  progressive  and  symphonic  like  the  previous  recordings  while  also  bringing  in  a touch  of  black  metal  this  time  around,  the  production  sounds  very  professional  fro being  a  self  released  recording  while  the lyrics cover  Occultism  and  the  Dark Side  Of  The  Mind.

 In  my  opinion  this is  another  great  sounding  recording from D.A.M  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  symphonic  and  melodic  death  metal,  you  should  check  out this  ep.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "The  Cage (Breaking  The  Paradigms)"  and  "Changing the  Directions  (Unresolved)".  8  out  of  10.  

 

Corprophemia Interview

1.Can you give us an update on what has been going on with the band since the recording and release of the new album?
Well, shortly after the album was recorded we ran into some issues with one of the original members, and unfortunately John Bellon (our drummer) was headed in a difference direction than the rest of the band. We parted on good terms and wished him the best in his future endeavours. We then started reaching out to some people to find a replacement, luckily for us we were in the right place at the right time and we were able to connect with Jason Longo (Blood of Christ, Mullet Corpse). He has been a welcome addition to the family and has brought a great deal of expertise to the group.
We have also been busy getting merch ready to go for our album release shows,  so make sure you stop out and see us on one of our dates to pick up the cd and some awesome merch.


2.Recently you have released a new album, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording and also how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?
Well, as you know it has been a good deal of time since Corprophemia has released an album, and I think the most notable changes to our sound are that as musicians we have matured considerably, as a by product we have a much more refined sound musically. While some of the members have changed, the heart of the band remains the same. Frank has been the primary songwriter for the band since its inception, so the bands main direction and focus has stayed on point. The other notable difference is in the vocal stylings of Matt Kelly. He has really helped to change the sound of the band and bring a more modern feel to the band.


3.This is the first album to be released in 9 years, can you tell us a little bit more about what has been going on during that time span?
Since the release of Arrived In Pieces the band went on a brief Hiatus. Frank was a pivotal part in a number of projects, notably Shinje where he started working in a band with Matt Kelly (who was playing guitar at the time), and the CDN Records Deathcore band Calculate (Matt’s first Foray into vocals).


4.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
The main lyrical topics of this album have to do with the birth of evil. This is where the title “Abhorrogenesis” comes from, the beginning of abhorrence. The lyrical content is about the evil that is inherent in all humans, and the dark and depraved things that people will do to each other. There is also some touching on the Satanic. Not that we believe in Satan, or God, as the members of the band mainly identify as atheists, but it touches on the Satanic because religion itself is such a burden to the people of this planet, and is such a hotbed of depravity in its own right.


5.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Corprophemia'?
Corprophemia was a name that the original band sat down and came up with one alcohol fueled night. It was purely an epiphany that was created one long night watching vintage horror movies. This is just one of those things that was a happy accident.


6.What are some of the best shows that the band has played over the years and also how would you describe your stage performance?
There have been so many awesome shows, with amazing bands. Anytime we ever played with Fuck the Facts, or Starring Janet Leigh were great times. Some other great bands like Dismata, Dear Black Diary, Blostomycosis, Deamon, Heaps of Dead, and obviously our most recent show at Ontario Death Fest 3.
Our stage performance in an unrelenting assault of pure Canadian Death metal. We try to stay as high energy as possible while bringing Death metal to the crowd at 300 bpm.

7.Do you have any touring or show plans for the new album?
For the new album we have a three show cd release coming focusing on our home town of Windsor, Oshawa and Toronto. These will be followed this summer by a slew of shows that we are currently in the process of booking. We are hoping to be touring the east coast of Canada this summer, with some U.S. dates later in the fall. Keep your eyes peeled for those.


8.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of brutal and technical death metal?
Worldwide we have had great success with Arrived in Pieces. The current album is moving well, better than expected in fact. We have heard only good feedback about the current album so far, and we love any feedback we get as it helps us to improve as musicians when we know what the fans are looking for. We have sent albums to Japan, Poland, Germany, Italy, France, Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia, Russia, and many other places worldwide.


9.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
Well we are constantly evolving as a band, we will always be in the bounds of Death metal, but we will continue to push the boundaries of what we do as a band and as musicians.


10.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your newer music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
As a unit we have really been listening to a lot of different bands like: Deformatory, Gravitational Distortion, Human Compost, Screams of Deimos, Viledriver.  Vulvodynia, Archspire, Jasad, Cryptopsy, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Faceless, Death, Kataklysm, Modern Day Babylon, Periphery, Red Fang, Bong Ripper, Slab Dragger, Ghost, Sea Basterd, and way too many more.
As far as musical styles, that influenced the album, a lot of Bay Area Death Metal, Melo Death, Tech Death, Djent, you name it, and it has probably influenced us in some way on this album.


11.What are some of your non musical interests?
I think everyone can agree on Cars and Motorcycles, aside from that we are mostly all old men (except for Mat), and mostly just do old men things. Like watch the news and yell at the neighbors kids.


12.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
Canadian Metal is putting out some of the best music we have ever heard. If you can’t find a new Canadian band you like then you aren’t looking. Get out there to some local shows and find some new bands to love.

  In  my  opinion  Exteminio  are  a  very  great  sounding  brutal  death  metal  band  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  re-issue.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Sentenced  To  The  Eternal  Silence"  "Bloody  Death"   "Slow  Dismemberment"  and  "mangled  And  Disembodied". 8  out of 10.
