I hooked up with Brent via E-mail to talk about a little bit of whatever, like the nice guy he is he took his time to answer my Q:s
Q: first off hows life treating you right now? with an album like Echoes of the rotting ?
Brent - Life is treatng us pretty good I suppose, gas prices are killing everyone, and its making it harder to go play shows. But the shows we are playing have been really good, and the crowds have been crazy. Looking forward to CIM and New England Deathfest coming up! Also the first pressing of our CD "Echoes of the Rotting" has almost sold out and is now at the factory getting re-pressed. So things are good!
Q: i read on your myspace page that you guys are about to go on tour in a couple of days in the states how does that feel? and do you have any plans for a european tour?
Brent - Yeah we did a tour in April through the southern part of the US, and it felt great to get out there on the road. We hit the road for 11 shows in a row with our bro Peter who is the band Bloodsoaked, and it went really well. We sold out of our t-shirts with 3 shows to go. It went so well that we are currently planning another tour for later this year and possibly going to Europe for some shows next year! I hope we can do it! I would love to tour there!
Q: whats it like backstage at an atrocious abnormality show?
Brent - Well, most of the time we ust try and sit back and relax before we get on stage. Steve is usually busy working the Comatose table, and I will work the Atrocious merch table while walking around and hanging out with fans/friends. We love to enjoy ourselves as much as possible! There is nothing like being around all death metal freaks and tons of booze! hahah
Q: how do you feel that your debut (echoes of the rotting) album has been recieved so far?
Brent - I feel like it has been recieved quite well. Like I said earlier the first pressing of the CD is almost sold out, only 10-15 CD's left after 8 months or so, so I guess thats pretty good for a debut release from a new band. We hope to sell the next 1000 quicker!
Q: after the tour, what are your plans (i know atleast one more of our crew is looking forward to a follow-up to "Echoes")?
Brent - Thanks, we plan on using the latter half of the year to write new material for our second release. We have some really sick riffs already, and I cant wait to get started on some new songs! We are hoping to have a demo out before the end of the year.
Q: and finally, any last words to the readers?
Brent - A huge thank you for taking the time to read this and support the brutal metal scene! And thank you Dennis for the sick interview! Hails and horns up! lml
