WORMED – The Heavy Blog Is Heavy Interview

Mar.28, 2013

Wormed

2013 has been simply outstanding for brutal death metal, seeing releases from the likes of Devourment and Defeated Sanity. The outliers in the genre have got to be Spanish death metal oddities Wormed though, with their new album Exodromos smashing faces and blowing minds this week on Willowtip Records. We were chomping at the bit to hear from the guys responsible for one of the most intriguing albums of 2013 and naturally, they delivered! We asked bassist Guillemoth & vocalist Phlegeton about the concept behind Exodromos, the possibilities moshing in zero gravity, and more in our interview below.

Devourment Explore The Finer Aspects of Dim Lighting In ‘Parasitic Eruption‘

Filed Under: Video

Mar.05, 2013

It’s hard not to love Devourment. Their particular brand of slamming br00tz may have been ‘outdone’ in terms of sheer ridiculousness by the many legions that trod in their footsteps after Molesting The Decapitated, but there’s a certain charm to it all and that comes out in spades in the band’s new video for ‘Parasitic Eruption‘, bestowed upon us by titans Metal Injection. Comprised essentially of footage of the band playing in a darkened room, it’s the only possible accompaniment to ‘Parasitic Eruption‘ that would make sense, as it leaves the music at the forefront.

New Devourment = You’re Slamming (In Sewage)

Filed Under: New music, Upcoming releases, Video

Devourment

Okay, so I guess Devourment technically isn’t really a slam band, but you can expect maximum brutality while still being completely listenable. To be honest, Devourment were one of the bands I’ve apparently been sleeping on, but the hype surrounding their forthcoming record Conceived In Sewage is making me take notice. The first taste of the record comes in the way of the track ‘Fifty Ton War Machine‘ and its accompanying lyric video, which can be seen after the jump. The video (which displays the record’s gruesome artwork) is NSFW so you folks in work or class right now don’t have to be marked as “that guy” by accidentally seeing a disembodied head being facefucked by some weird shit tentacles. Yeah.

Dave Astor of Pathology: The HBIH Interview

Filed Under: Interviews

Sep.28, 2012

Pathology is one of the most well known bands in the love-it-or-hate-it slam metal genre. Partly because they rose to gain the respect of thousands in the underground with their no gimmicks brutality and partly because they got signed to Victory Records and have started reaching a much wider audience. The new album, The Time Of Great Purification, is one of the greatest slam releases ever. Dave talks a bit about the recording process, Slaughter Survivors, and what a dream slam tour would consist of.

Let’s talk about the new album. What is the meaning of the album title The Time Of Great Purification?

This album is about the end of the world. The title and the art represent how the earth gets Destroyed on Dec 21st 2012. This album talks about that and other conspiracies.

Now I did like Awaken To The Suffering, but the new album is leaps and bounds greater in every way. What sort of new influences did you all have when it came down to writing this album?

We all had different influences. During the recording process I would say for myself, I would listen to a lot of the new Morbid Angel. The actual songs, not the techno stuff. I don’t know, that stuff got me real inspired. I also listened to a lot of Bad Religion.

Cameron Argon of Disfiguring the Goddess: The HBIH Interview

Filed Under: Contests, Interviews

Apr.19, 2012

It’s hard to pigeonhole Cameron Argon. He’s not only a respected electronic artist, but he’s also the mastermind of brutal death metal project Disfiguring the Goddess. It seems pretty disparate on the surface, but the man manages to balance the two and allows them to bleed into each other, as evidenced by the many synth leads and electronic aspects to the upcoming Disfiguring the Goddess album, Sleeper, due out April 24th. To talk about his new album and other aspects of his life and music career, we traded emails with Cameron for the interview below.

…

Thanks for taking the time to talk with us on short notice! For those who are not familiar with you or your work, who are you and what do you do?!

I’m Cameron Argon. I’m 21. I have a goofy nick name of BIG CHOCOLATE and I make music and a video everyday.

So, let’s cut to the reason you’re here: Sleeper is your latest release under Disfiguring the Goddess. How do you personally feel about it and how it holds up compared to Circle of Nine?

YES. I personally feel like it blows CoN out of the water. On all aspects. Maturity, structuring, production, presentation, vocals, everything. CoN never really sat well with me, but I decided to release just because it was 10 songs I had sitting on my computer. Sleeper is actually something I’ve been eager to release and get out there.

Cerebral Bore – Maniacal Miscreation

Filed Under: Reviews

Jul.06, 2011

Cerebral Bore

Maniacal Miscreation

01. Epileptic Strobe Entrapment
02. The Bald Cadaver
03. Open Casket Priapism
04. Entombed In Butchered Bodies
05. Mangled Post Burial
06. Flesh Reflects The Madness
07. Maniacal Miscreation
08. 24 Year Party Dungeon

[06/07/11]
[Earache Records]

To even mention the gender of Cerebral Bore vocalist Simone Pluijmers is a little redundant. From the opening moments of ‘Epileptic Strobe Entrapment‘ you’re greeted by a full and throaty death growl that you’d be familiar with if you’ve listened to any brutal death metal album ever. I’m amazed that even now in 2011, people can still be surprised by the gender/ethnicity of a vocalist because as far as I was aware, it’s not a case of they can’t but more a case of they just don’t. There aren’t many women in metal – fact – but the few that are scattered about in Arch Enemy, Gallhammer, Fuck The Facts etc. all show that the fairer sex can easily hold their own.

With that elephant in the room handled we can finally get down to discussing the music. Maniacal Miscreation is the debut album from Scottish death metallers Cerebral Bore, recently picked up and reissued by none other than Earache records. It’s nice to see that Earache still has its ear to ground about great traditional acts but it means nothing if the band can’t deliver. Thankfully Cerebral Bore have delivered one of the most promising debut extreme albums I’ve heard in quite a while.
