Killing Absorption

Answered by Igor



Hey Igor, I know it's too early I ask this but did you satisfied with all the "Killing Absorption" result ? let's start from the sound quality, promotion and selling...

Not sure. The sound is good, but I'm not so satisfied, because when we were in studio, we haven't so big experiense with recording. also we have recorded this album 3 days only! Anyway It was our first record session and I'm sure that next album will have too much better sound also as new songs.. Promotion is good as for debute CD I think, so as we played few tours in Europe, also "Nice to Eat You Records" have a good distribution. about selling I'm not sure, but as I know we sold 1500 copies at the moment, but its begining only.. Now we are thinking about re-press this cd again, 'coz we haven't free copies...

Tell me about the current line-up here along with the backgrounds of each members ? why your bassist leave the band ?

Our bass player leave a band right before OBSCENE EXTREME FEST, because he was merried and have a good job. This shit take a lot of time, and he leave the band. So we played few next shows as trio. But now we found a session guitar player for live gigs. Maybe this guy will stay with us a long... Now our line-up is:
Sid - vocals
Igor - guitars
Max - drums
(Vovik - guitars) - session musician

So how Nice To Eat You Records threat you ? does the label do what the band's want ? and what labels did you went to before NTEY Recs ?

This label have a good distribution as I said. but thats all. Before NTEY Rec we was signed on Metal Blast Rec (Berlin). They rent a studio for recording but soon this label became bankrupt. So we have signed a new deal with NTEY Rec for release "Killing Absorption" CD.

How about the scene there in Ukraine ?

Situation is sucks! here is not so much death metal bands. and they havn't possibility for musical progress. That's all because of fucking bad economical situation in Ukraine. And nobody can change it! Because our goverment is very corrupted!

The cover artwork looks kill man...did you remember how long Edward Artemenko finished this artwork ? if you don't mind, could you tell how much the cost to have this artwork from him ? where shall the readers contact him ?

His web-site is here: www.artemenko.com There are lots of his art-works... I dont know how long he created our cover work. But I remember that we have paid him 50USD for his art-work. It's not so much for his good work I think..

How was the tours going ? tell me about all the good, bad and funniest things during Fleshgore's tours with Rotteness and Prejudice ...

The tour was great! We visited Germany, Belgium, France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria and played 15 gigs over all Europe. Also we played a cool show in Poland but without other bands, only Fleshgore. Every show was great! The Funniest thing was when in Portugal a lots of crazy fans get up on the stage and start to making stagediving.. So last part of our show (15-20 minutes) on the stage situated 20-30 fans! It was realy crazy! Security can't stop them.. Bad moment was in Barcelona. Some criminals crash & lockup our van and take few our bags together with some documents ans passport of our manager. so we have some problems.. The best moments was: a lots of beer, cool parties with belgians and mexicans and shows everyday!!!

I believe that "Devoured By Helminthes" is one of the crowd favourite tracks right ? what's story behind that song ?

Yea, this song is one of the best on our cd, also as "Infernal Earth", "Interuterine Dilemms" and "Prepare to Die". And we always play it on our live gigs. The story is simple. Everybody is infected by worms, helminthes and other shit, and they eating your body everyday. If you dont beleave me you can check it in nearest medical laboratory. Everybody have few different worms inside own body! Check yourself for example! ha-ha!

From all the equipment you listed on the back cover sheet, does any of them endorsed you ?

I use BOSS Metal Zone MT-2 and ROCKTRON HUSH Pedal. Also on recording I used D'Addario strings 12 number, but usually I use #11. Maybe something else, I dont remember everything..

Any last word for us...

Stay metal! Forget about any not real and not metal music... but don't forget visit our web-site: http:// www.fleshgore.com
