Interview Cephalic Carnage


 




 

Can you tell us more about your new album called « Xenosapien » ?

( lenzig) This is an album of all the things cephalic hass dun just way more defined and focused, its got everything you’ve come to love about cephalic and a few new suprises. its got some kiler artwork to bring it all to life..


Who is responsible for songwriting ?

Everyone in the whole contributed to the making of this album, in everyway.


How did you proceed for the composition ?

At this point we just write stuff away from practice then bring it for everybody else to add their parts to it and I just from there, until it is a completed cephalic track.


Can you speak to us about the recording sessions ?

The recording of this album was very fun, we did a lot of the tracking ourselves this time around except for the vocals and drums, we did those with davoe otero then he mixed while we were on the road with brujeria


Where do you find inspiration for the lyrics ?

From different books, and everyday life,any thing can be inspiring if your looking for the inspiration


Who created the artwork ?

This guy who works at relapse his name is orion landau and he has done stuff for quite a few relapse bands, we are really pleased with the outcome.its really sick.


What’s your favourite track on « Xenosapien » and why ?

I would have to say the track vaporized, because it’s a total volcanic holocaust written about smoking herb through a silver surfer vaporizer and its gets you vaporized…


What are your favourite bands and all times albums ?

Iron maiden "killers", The Scorpions "in trance", Riot "restless breed", Judas Priest "sad wings of destiny", Hallows Eve "tales of terror", Queens of the Stone Age "songs for the deaf" to name a few.


What’s your opinion about the international metal scene ?

Its strarting to get big like it was in the 80’s and becoming a lot more unified, not as segrated as it was in the past.


Can you remember your first gig ? How did it go ?

I might be able to but I was really stoned


Are there any plans for an upcoming tour ?

We are on the road here in the uk right now with akercocke,ted maul and burning skies, and just did parts of western Europe, we will be touring the usa immediately after with Necrophagist, Cattle Decapitation, Decapitated and 5 others called the summer slaughter tour then we will be back in Europe in august to do some fests and some dates with dying fetus. That’s it for now


Do you have funny or strange stories about the band you can share with us ?

It might be funny to you but it is to me, we played a show in belium with napalm death and we were on the stage watching them smoking a tulip of some super killer dutch grass and hash, me and our bus driver were smoking away and a few locals thought they could hang with the big dogs and we ended up getting those dudes so high they were lost couldn’t walk and were just destroyed, I would call it a severe cephalic carnage, I think we even got danny harera (napalms drummer) a contact high


What are your projects for the future ?

A new halls of amenti cd sometime this winter,maybe each one of us do a solo albumsince we now have our own studio, sighn and record some bands to our hybrid records labal. Play more shows in support of xenosapien


And as a conclusion, can you say some words for my radio show called Metal Choc ?

Merci for the support\ keep playing cephalic carnage, and rocking the metal for the future to set themselves free.
