Interview with Gokucho of Gorevent


1. hey gokucho,thanks for the intie bro.first off,tell us abrief history of gorevent!
Threre weren't any death metal bands in Niigata some years ago. I was born in Niigata, so I went back to my hometown and looked for members to form my band.

2. describe your music! and what bands influence you? Maybe txdm bands such as devourment,sect of execration and etc are your major influences right?
The frame of GOREVENT is certainly influenced by the abnormal, mosh-inducing beat of DEVOURMENT. The contents of our songs are based on the bizarre parts from DEEDS OF FLESH. You know, we are not a very simple band.

3. the band has two vocalists.so both you use exhale gutturals right? so what kind of vocals do you use and why? and who influences your vocals style?
There's no reason we use both low and high voices, and we want to go forward using low tones throughout our tunes. Takashi agreed with me, so we tried and succeeded. I (Gokucho) have been influenced by Erik from DEEDS OF FLESH.

4. you guys use tons of slams and breakdowns.so as i said above,i guess devourment influences you alot for creating those parts right? So how do you guys evolve their sound to your own sound?
I like the feeling of hip-hop, so I got into DEVOURMENT naturally. We take their style in our sound as much as possible.

5. tell us what kind of gears you guys use.
Guitars - nameless 7 strings, marshall, Darrell-modeled 6 strings and GENZ-BENZ.
Bass - 5 strings History.
Drums - snare - piccolo, geared to middle-low tone.

6. what kind of releases will you have?
On April 8, we released 3 songs in a demo. We are currently making a 3 way split with VOMITOUS and LYPEKTOMY. The release date is T.B.A.

7. i wanna know how gorevents future sound would be.so you guys will use technical parts as well as slow parts.or you guys keep the current style just as the band is now?
Deeper and deeper, we are evolving. No techniques.

8. i can say gorevent sounds 'txdm meets jpdm'? And how do you guys take essences from both and create gorevents own sound?
Yes. As our policy, we won't write the songs which have little attraction. We keep on making mighty sounds to endow every riff with the power to crush your body. And We sometimes notice the ideas we are considering have already been created by someone else. Therefore, we try to persue different ideas.

9. thanks for the intie.tell us futures plan and add any words you would like to add.
We want to release full-length album in the near future, not only in Japan but also to the world.
