Entrevista a Bryan Conover de Disengorified

Interwiew to Bryan Conover from Disengorified

"Death metal has always been a very underground genre and I think most of the fans appreciate that it is so underground"
Interwiew by Luis Landeo
Hey Bryan how does the band start?
Disengorified formed in the Spring of 2009. I had been living with the other guitarist, Rob, for a few years before and we would jam together all the time. I went to high school in San Diego with Ian and Boomer and once they both moved up to Santa Cruz we decided to form the band. We actually recorded our demo before we ever jammed as a full band.what does the banda name mean?
I thought of the name Disengorified a few years before the band was formed. I just took all the common parts of death metal band names like 'dis' and 'gor' and combined them into Disengorified. Once the band was formed we thought of a meaning for the name. We agreed on Disengorified meaning the act of re-inserting disemboweled entrails.what are the influences of the band?
We all listen to death metal, but we all have different tastes in music. Personally, I listen to mostly brutal death metal and am influenced by Deeds of Flesh, Severed Savior, Impaled, Gorgasm. I'm less into anything core, but the rest of the band likes bands like The Faceless and Son of Aurelius, which I still respect, I just don't listen to them as much. We've all been in bands with different genres, Boomer and Rob used to be in punk/ska style bands in high school, Ian used to drum for a "stoner pop" band and I was in a shitty nu-metal band in high school. Our influences are listed on our myspace too.Your band have a demo.. are you thinking to produce a new album?
We have been working on a full length album for a while now. We have been doing the whole DIY thing, which has been working out since we rent our own studio and Ian has a lot of experience recording, mixing and mastering. However, we're currently working on bigger and better things and we will probably record our full length in a professional studio within a few months.what can we expect from this album?
We have all become better musicians since we made our demo. We've played some 20 gigs since we formed about a year and a half ago, so we have a lot more experience now. You can expect our album to be much more tech and more progressive than our demo. It will sound more professional and tighter since we've become better musicians, but we're also better at recording. Also, I just got a new guitar and it sounds sooo much better than my old one.what is the concept behind the lyrics?
This is more of a question for our vocalist, Clark. But, like most death metal bands we like to incorporate concepts of disgusting murder scenarios and torturing humans into our music.how is the metal scene in San francisco - Usa?
The scene around San Fran is great. There are usually huge bands playing in the Bay Area and there are always underground metal shows around here. The scene in Santa Cruz specifically has been blowing up lately. Since we formed here in 2009, there have been a ton of metal shows in town. Also, the Santa Cruz Underground Metal Festival (SCUMfest) was conceived around the same time as Disengorified, and we played the first annual SCUMfest. More recently the Bay Area Metal Festival was conceived, so the metal scene here is alive and well.In usa the scene is focus in the metalcore sound do you think is that a problem for a new death metal band?
I don't necessarily think that this is a problem for death metal bands simply because death metal has always been a very underground genre and I think most of the fans appreciate that it is so underground. Also, most of the fans of metalcore can appreciate death metal much more than fans of electronic music, which is much more popular than any metal genres. However, when we play shows around town we see all sorts of people at our shows, so to answer the question I would say it's not a problem for us.In this decade we see the evolution of death metal mixing with metalcore (deathcore) and in southamerica we see the mix of death metal with new metal (newdeath metal)
what is your opinion about this mix?
Like I said before, I'm less into any core genres than the rest of the band, so I would prefer bands to be death metal than anything else. Honestly, I haven't heard of nu-death metal before, but I got over nu-metal pretty early on in high school, so again I would prefer death metal.How many concerts and festivals have you guys already played?
We've only played one festival (SCUMfest) before and that was a great day. It was an all day event starting at 11am and ending around 11pm and we played at 4pm and got pretty drunk afterwards. As I mentioned before, we've played about 20 gigs. Some shows we don't count, like our first show we ever played. We played a song and a half and got banned from the venue. And we've played outdoor shows before where we had to stop because cops showed up and gave us a noise violation ticket. We just love playing shows and are always looking to play more.Do you think there is any chance of seeing you playing in a tour in South America?
We would love to tour, but it's hard to organize and really hard to pay for. We're focusing on the business aspects of the music industry lately and if we can start making some real money we can start traveling more and playing shows farther and farther from our hometown.Do you listen southamerican metal? what is your opinion about latin metal? what are your favorites latin metal bands?
I've seen Krisiun play before and I listen to bands like Sepultura, but I listen to mostly bands from around my area, like Deeds of Flesh, Impaled and Severed Savior. From what I've heard I feel that Latin metal is less tech than what I'm used to, but maybe I just haven't found enough South American metal bands.OK, a lot of luck to. you. Any message for fans in Europe or South America?
To our fans out there: We fucking love you. It's so satisfying to hear that people in other countries are rockin out to our music. It really blows my mind. I know every band says this, but no one will hear of us if you guys don't spread the word. So if you like our music, tell your friends. We would fuckin appreciate it.

Entrevista Samuel Satrucci de Phataly

"Este demo que lanzaremos sera 100 veces mejor al que se solto antes con el antiguo phataly"
Entrevista por Luis Landeo

Hola Satrucci, un gusto volver a entrevistarte tras ya un año, y empiezo esta entrevista con esta pregunta ¿a que se debio la desintegracion de la banda?
- Bueno en lugar un saludo a la gente que sigue al buen Luis Landeo y a Arsenal Del Metalero! me la subes mal man! eres loco! (risas), la razon por la que nos desintegramos fue que no hubo organizacion en la banda
ya que algunos empezaron a estudiar o estudiaban muy lejos y como dije por falta de organizacion nos tuvimos que desintegrar..pero ahora nos vamos con fuerza!

¿Como asi se han reunido para volver con el proyecto?
Cuando ya todos nos sentimos organizados con nuestros estudios y ya tuvimos la necesidad de volver a armar a phataly simplemente nos juntamos
y decidimos formar otra vez la banda obviamente detallando ahora lo que se deseaba y el cambio de estilo un poco mas a nuestra onda el death metal.¿Quienes estan integrando actualmente la banda? y ¿quienes dejaron el proyecto?
Actualmente se encuetran Fabian (baterista de Black fire), Diego (Foxy - Vocalista), Jose pablo (bajo - Potito) y yo Samuel (unica guitarra)
hasta ahorita nadie dejo el proyecto pero si tuve que desaserme de diego y de jose pablo un tiempo porque no eran productivos en la banda por motivos X, pero luego vi que tenian interes y regresaron a la banda con mas responsabilidad.Por lo temas que he oido y se estan colgando en youtube la banda ha regresado con mayor fuerza ¿para cuando estaria ya listo el disco?
Gracias brother esa es! y asi tiene que ser full fuerza!..el disco aun no se sabe ya que como converse contigo antes stamos llendo sin apuro alguno pero stimamos que stara para mitad de año un demo de buena calidad
¿como se estan tomando su tiempo para la composicion de los temas?
Estamos bien especuladores con nuestras nuevas creaciones, mucha paciencia, arudo trabajo y tranquilidad mas que todo.
Lo que se escuche en youtube o por otro medio aun no es un tema seguro ya que estamos especulando como te digo al maximo y haciendolo lo mas detallado, digerible, pesado, brutal posible sin llegar a la saturacion..Con que te llegue el mensaje en algun tema que tienes que matar con eso basta para mi..si no me chupa un wewo..(risas)¿Que sorpresas habran en la nueva produccion de phataly?
Bueno como tu mismo lo has dicho mi querido amigo.. son SORPRESAS asi que solo a sperar gente!¿Que diferencias encuentras en sonido del antiguo phataly del demo con el nuevo phataly?
Obviamente en sonido estamos mucho mejor ya que ahora que somos 4 es mas practico hacer las cosas y podemos entendernos un poco mas..
y obviamente este demo que lanzaremos sera 100 veces mejor al que se solto antes con el antiguo phataly!¿Han vuelto a tocar en vivo?
Por ahora no nos mantenemos firmes a nuestra decision, de no tener apuro alguno,
solo estamos creando ya cuando nos sintamos preparados para tocar en vivo lo mencionaremos por todos los medios y espero bajen carajo! para el apoyo a la gente el pueblo!!! go go go!¿Que sueño tienes para este año para phataly?
Lograr llegar lo mas lejos posible con todo lo que podamos crear,
ser escuchados fuera del pais y que a la gente le llegue al bobo nuestra musik o se sienta identificada con eso phataly estara logrando su cometido! el hacer feliz a la gente oyente!¿Que mensaje tienes para los fans?
