1. hey tim.first off you are drummer of guttural engorgement now.im so
intrested
in your previous band eggbeater abortion.thats why i decided to do
intie
with
you for aggbeater abortion.first off how did the band start? and tell
us the
line up!
-Well, the band first started in 05 when a friend of ours, Matt, came
to
Brian and I wanting to start something up. We then recruited Chris to
play
bass. I played drums and Brian was the guitarist. Both Brian and I are
now in Guttural Engorgement.
2. describe the bands sound bro.you said its kinda mix of hard
core,brutal
death,grind core and some genres maybe tell us about that in detail.and
what
bands influence the band mainly?
-At the time, we were all pretty influenced by Despised icon. Brian and
I
also were influenced by Devourment and the likes. Matt was pretty big
into
hardcore and stuff like Psyopus. Chris listens to a pretty eclectic mix
of
music from grindcore to more experimental type stuff.
3. you use squeals right? so describe your vocals style and what bands
do you
compare your vocals with?
-Yeah we used a mix of squeals, growls, and screams. It's hard to
compare
how our vocals were to anyon else. Matt just kind of did what he want
without really sticking to just one type of vocal type.
4. describe each instruments sound and tell us influence bands too.and
how
did
you guys create songs for eggbeater abortion?
-Brian used a pretty low tuned 7 string which of course gives it a
somewhat
unique sound. I used a fairly large kit since I like to have a good mix
of
toms and cymbals to have more possibilities to be creative. Chris used
a 5
string bass to match Brian's low tuned 7 string.
Many bands influenced us. As I said, bands like Despised Icon,
Devourment,
The Red Chord, and anything we all really listened to.
5. for sure theres slams and breakdowns in songs right? those parts
seems
like
ones you use for guttural engorgement?
-We used breakdowns more in Eggbeater. We would throw in the occasional
slam though. Guttural Engorgement is of course more slam oriented.
6. the band logo is pretty cool.mark of GE did it right? how do you
think
about
the logo and his work?
-Yeah. Mark did our logo. Brian met Mark on a whim around the time we
started Eggbeater and I was introduced to him later. We found out he
did
some pretty sick artwork and asked him to do a logo for us. Brian and
Mark
jammed occasionally which pretty much lead to the start of GE in 06.
7. hows your state south carolina scene? and your scene and north
carolinas
scene have good connection each other and any new sick bands from both
states?
-Well, the SC scene kind of sucks really. Mostly a bunch of
metalcore/screamo bands that pop up and take over everything. NC seems
a
bit better. Atleast they have bands like Lust of Decay, Atrocious
Abnormality, and Malebolgia.
8. what bands have you been into recently?
-I've been into Dysentery a lot lately, of course the mighty
Devourment,
Abominable Putridity (their new shit sounds sick!), Crime Mob...hahaha.
9. why did the band split up and how did you join guttural engorgement?
and
you
have plan to reform eggbeater abortion?
-Well a couple of the guys started getting real busy with work and
school
and practices began to get less frequent. After a while we just kinda
stopped. I joined Guttural as it was being started. I actually got
kicked
out for a brief period since I missed some practices while being out of
town
for a bit. Stupid right? haha Just a few weeks later though I was asked
back and then we got the GE ball rolling.
As far as reforming Eggbeater, I'm not sure. I'd like to. We've all
been
talking of atleast starting a new band.
10. i heard from you that you will start new band with brian another
member
of
guttural engorgement.it seems like what you wanted to do in eggbeater
abortion?
and any more projects you plan to work on?
-Well as mentioned, Brian was in Eggbeater. This new band with all the
members from Eggbeater was originally planned to just be more grind
influenced. As I said, I'd like to just reform as Eggbeater Abortion
and do
somewhat of the same thing we were doing before.
11. thanks for the intie tim.tell us your futures plan and any last
words you
would like to add.
-Future plans include of course the release of GE's first album, The
Slow
Decay of Infested Flesh. We also are looking to do some light touring
sometime this year. Hopefully you'll hear something from Brian, Matt,
Chris
and I from whatever we decide to do this year as well.
Thanks for the interview! I as well as the rest of us appreciate what
you
do!
