Prepare to get slammy as Joe lays down some answers for us regarding his band Malodorous who put out their first full length out on Amputated Vein Records, Amaranthine Redolence, back in 2007 which I’ve been playing regularly since I first heard it. With a new album in the works, it’s high time these brutal underdogs get some exposure.
You guys are working on a new album The Carrion Recoil. Since not many people have heard much about it for a while, what state is it in?
Its getting done a little bit at a time. Just about everything is written and rough tracks have been recorded. We are all very busy with work, school, and our personal lives, so the band takes a back seat alot of the time.
What is it like being a band spread across the country? How much harder does it make it?
Its neat. We are separated by thousands of miles and still make music. Its a wonder of the digital age. It makes writing a little harder not being able to jam.
Since I met you through the sevenstring.org forums, I’d say it’s safe to assume you’re at least a moderate gearfag. What kind of equipment are you, and everyone else going to be using on the next album?
I’ll be using my 7 string Schecter Omen 7 equiped with a Bareknuckle Miracle Man, recorded through a Line 6 interface. Mike uses a 7 string Ibanez RG, although I’m not sure exactly what model. He records with an old Zoom pedal via in direct in on his computer.
