1.Thanks for taking
the time to talk to The Metal Times! You have a new album out, Tell us about
it!
"Pestilence"
(Demo 2020) isn't new. It was first released last 2009 with a drum machine.
These 2020 tracks has new drums rendered by a human drummer. Originally meant
for 'Doomsday Agenda' Split CD and we were months late on its given deadline. I
don't want all involved bands to wait any further so I need to get it done that
week after receiving those drum tracks.
2.Where was it
recorded? Is all the material new?
All tracks were
written and recorded 2007. Re-mixing done here in Saskatchewan (2020). Drums
were brand new and recorded in drummer's location (Scotland - April 2020). It's
our 1st attempt to record remotely. More like old songs with new drums on this
one.
3.What is the
biggest difference between your last release and the new one?
I would say our
last release was "Devoured by Damnation" (2016) and the new ones, as
a follow up to that, were not even made yet. "Human Livestock" (2019)
and "Pestilence" (2020) were all old tracks but released late - hence
the date. There might be new releases coming out but song wise nothing new
written since 2016.
4.Are you signed to
a label? , If so which one and how did they help or support the process?
No. Never will. I
have worked with many labels from all corners of the "underground"
from 1999-2009 and even I recall that they've done their part, I still prefer
releasing things on my own if I have the resources. I only did those
collaboration back then because there were no pressing plants where I used to
live.
5.What has been
going on with the band between albums? Did you tour?
No tours. I have no
interest playing live since day one. Drummer having his own life and I will
only make songs if I'm certain that there's a guaranteed drummer at the end.
6.Do you have any
new members?
Same drummer since
2016 but I'll add members when I see fit. Sure I can be alone and release more
albums now using programmed drums but I'd rather watch paint dry than doing
that. If there's no drummer then everything is as good as dead!
7.Who produced the
new album and how did they effect the album?
No one. Production
is non-existent here. One thing I'm sure is that we will not follow the typical
"DAW Sound". Hard to find the right words for this "DAW
Sound" (haha) but it's everywhere these days. If put on a blind test, you
won't notice you've already listened 10 different bands having that same kind
of "production".
8.Some like to
record naked or in the dark with candles , Did you have any strange studio
practices?
I just do what
needs to be done and get it done fast. There's no need being
"strange" anymore. It's already strange as it is.
9.Of course tell us

10.What is your
plans now that the new demo is out?
No plans. Just keep
fanning the flames of hell and spread hate!
