Interview with Alexandre of Infantiphagia


1. hey alexandre,whats up? so you were in artey eruption and ruthless beatings right? so tell us why you started infantiphagia after you left those bands,the current line up and etc.
yes i was in both AE and RB.infantiphagia was the first DM band i was ever in as well as the first DM band in vermont , when me and dain(guitar) started the group we were only about 16 _ 17 years old,back then it was not as serious as it is now,after several years the band fell apart and we went on to other things,when the whole ruthless beatings deal fell apart for me and dain we HAD to do something so we decided starting up infantiphagia with all new material would be the best plan.the lineup right now is dain-guitar/bass/vocals and myself on drums/vocals.if anyone is interested in trying out please get in touch with us(we are looking).

2. describe your music.for me the band is so technical as well as it has cool breakdowns.and what bands influence the band mainly?
we both get influcened by a lot of different stuff ,a lot of DM bands and some stuff that you wouldnt expect at all, so our music kind of represents all of our different influences,your gooing to hear a lot of brutality ,speed ,and melody.

3. vocals are gutturals right? describe vocals style and what bands can you compare your bands vocals with?
shit man thats a tough one.we are going to have gutturals,lows,mid range,highs.im really not sure who to compare them to,i guess just listen and decide for yourself(haha).

4. your drumming is tight as fuck.i mean your blasting is so fast and gravity as well as tight.and double basses are so quick and accurate.so describe your drumming style.and who influences your current style?
thanks man.im mainly influenced by DM drummers but there are a lot of sick ass jazz drummers as well.i started off listening to cannibal corpse when i was 14,then goratory,dying fetus,gorgasm,shit like that influenced me the most,and there is a lot of stuff still coming out that i admire , i also like to throw in some funky shit to go with the groove and jazzy stuff as well.most of my older influences have made me the drummer i am today ,so as of right now i dont really have any.

5. what you had experiences in artery eruption and ruthless beating helps you alot to create infantiphagias sound? and if so,how?
well,id i have to say no.

6. i can hear some catchy breakdowns and slams.so slams and breakdowns are your thing? and how do you create those parts? or you prefer to use more fast parts?
dain writes stuff with some sick slam parts and fast parts but you'll notice after we release more songs there will be some melodic parts in there as well,we just want to put out some stuff thats brutal but different,ya know change it up a little bit.

7. what kind of gears do you use?
i use gretsch drums,pearl pedals,pearl rack,zildjian and sabian symbals,ddrum triggers,and alesis.

8. hows scene in vermont? any other sick bands coming out of there?
as far as death metal goes,vermont FUCKING sucks.

9. i know you are concentrating on infantiphagia now.but you plan to start another new bands for future? and you will team up with brian of artey eruption again and form new band?
