Recently found time again and interviewed a great, if not one of the best Death Metal bands out there.
Ease Of Disgust killing my iPod for quite a while and they are super nice dudes.
Check them out!
sorry, for leaving away the photo, i will re-upload it, when blogger does not have issues.
How did you guys get started?
Our guitarist Gennadiy found out the band 3 years ago with our first bass guitarist Ruben and vocalist Andrew. Then drummer Antony and the second guitarist Alex connected to the band. They recorded their first EP “The Shell” in 2009 and had their first tour around Russia. But in 2010 there were some changes in line-up and I became the vocalist and Andrew started to play bass (he also plays in Abominable Putridity). But in a year Andrew decides to finish up with concerts as he was preparing for his wedding and just had no time for live shows. So now our bass guitarist is Andrew who played in another Russian band “Stardown”.
How would you describe your sound?
How would you describe your sound?
Our music is just a mix of such things as Death Metal, Deathcore, black metal and hardcore. Our first LP “Chaos” defines our sound well. But now we have a little bit different course in sound, so you'll hear it on our new record in 2012.
Are there bands that influenced your sound?
Are there bands that influenced your sound?
Yes, of course, everyone of us has some band that have influenced on his music view. We're trying not to stint ourselves by some borders of style, so we listen to all kinds of music from ambient to brutal death metal. It doesn’t matter what music u play, if u do this good we'll like it. It's hard to name concrete bands as there are too many good stuff that we listen to.
How did you get your name, what does it mean to you?
How did you get your name, what does it mean to you?
Our guitarist Gennadiy created it. It sound quite well and it's not difficult to remember it. It's easier to keep away from some things that u don't understand than just try to do that. Our society has the same views in this life. So this is the meaning.
Which genre defines your band the most?
Which genre defines your band the most?
Stylish Death Metal
Have you known what kind of music you want to play, before starting the band?
Yeah, something like Suicide Silence, our first EP shows it quite well.
You guys are from Russia, which has actually pretty big bands brought within the last years. Are there any bands beside My Autumn or Sarah Where Is My Tea, that you would like to suggest? You're right, My Autumn, SWIMT and our band are the only bands playing heavy music who had tours over Europe. We also have 2 big bands in Russia, much more popular here than our bands: Amatory and Stigmata. But they have never been abroad. If u like progressive Metalcore or Djent try Sumatra and new album of The Korea.
Also tell us about the Russian metal scene. It's not such big as our country, our metal scene is underground, there are only few big metal festivals and they are to rare.

You'll never see here something like Mayhem fest, it's just impossible as this kind of music is not such popular as in Europe or USA. And there is a funny thing here: if you're from abroad everyone will respect you doesn't matter what kind of shit u play. But if you're Russian band there is a thing like a stamp on you. People here have preconceived opinion about Russian bands. It's like a platitude: Russian? Oh guys, your music sucks, you've stolen it from some popular European band. That's shit.

It's just something like a dream to play on one stage with Behemoth. And our favorite tour looks like a big van with beer and girls, huge stages, big crowds and lots of fucking money, we doesn't want to work!)
