EMBRYONIC DEVOURMENT

DT: When and why the band was formed?.
ED: EMBRYONIC DEVOURMENT was formed from the ashes of Ye Old Skabbard, a Death Metal band about filthy pirates pillaging and murdering. Guitarist Lauren and myself had been playing as a 2 piece band for a while after many failed attempts at finding a reliable 3rd member.
As the music got more brutal we agreed to change the name and lyrical style. In January 2003 EMBRYONIC DEVOURMENT was formed. About 6 months after the name change, former CIRIBUS members Austin Spence and John Helvete joined the band, Austin on bass and John on vocals. The band was finally taken seriously with a full lineup and quickly gained recognition in the Northern California Metal scene in the U.S.A. for playing brutal Grind and always giving a good show!
About 6 months after joining Austin Spence left the band to play drums in a side project, and vocalist Johnny Helvete quickly took over on bass duties as well as vocal duties. Now we are a more solid lineup than ever before...ready to brutalize anywhere, any time.
DT: Your current line -up?.
ED: Lauren Pike- Guitar, vocals
Johnny Helvete- Bass, vocals
Luke Boutiette- Drums
DT: Youre fave beer?.
ED: We have many local breweries in our area that make the best beer and ale in the world. DOWNTOWN BROWN is good, and so is ANCHOR STEAM Ale.
DT: Your best North American band from ever?.
ED: I have to say that my personal favorite North America bands right now are DEEDS OF FLESH, ORIGIN, and probably CRYPTOPSY.

DT: Do you like the old Heavy Metal?.
ED: I liked it when I was real young, but an older Metal head in school introduced me to real Death Metal and after that I was strictly into Death/Grind. Both of the other members have been into Metal for longer than me. John likes most forms of Metal and Lauren is strictly Death/Grind like me.
DT: What do you think about Satanism?.
ED: Not really into it, but I despise all forms of religions.
DT: Do you like Black Metal?.
ED: Not really, but I like Nile, and some might say that
Nile is kind of borderline with the synth sounds, eh?
But not in general.
DT: What is the gender of PIKACHU?.
ED: It's a big mystery where we come from. Do you know something we don't? ha ha!
DT: Do you drink MILO with blood?.
ED: Not to my knowledge...

DT: Do you practice necrophilia?.
ED: Not to my memory... haha
DT: Your musical productions?.
ED: Juan Urtega from TRIDENT STUDIO in Northern California U.S.A. did a fucking killer job on our first pro recording!! It is a 5 song demo entitled "Beheaded by Volition". Before that we had a couple home recordings that are not worth mentioning due to poor recording quality.
DT: What do you know about South American Scene?.
ED: Not much I'm afraid...but what I do know about is brutal as fuck! BRUJERIA kicks ass, but other than that I'm kind of uneducated...John might know a little more than me. I would like to know more... I know that Holocausto Canibale has a brutal as hell album cover, but unfortunately have not had a chance to hear the sounds yet so I can only judge what I have seen...

DT: Are you into drugs?.
ED: No, we want to progress as much as we can musically. Brutal Death Grind only of course! too much drugs can slow you down.
DT: Do you like weapons?.
ED: Just those electric shocker thingies.
DT: Do you have T - shirts availables?.
ED: Not yet, but we will soon. We have the design and shit, just gotta find a good local shirt dealer. We do have some merch available on the website www.deathgrind.tk but we have a better design that will be available soon.
DT: LUKE, do you have STAR WARS action figures?...MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU, USE THE FORCE LUKE !!!
ED: Thanks man I sure will!!! ha ha! No, no STAR WARS toys. Sorry to disappoint you.
DT: Are you anti - homosexual band?.
ED: We don't like fags but we don't sing about it or anything.

DT: Do you prefer MACINTOSH or PC?.
ED: Haven't tried the new MAC yet so I don't know. We live in a world without choices my friend.
DT: Your future plans?.
ED: About to go on a mini-tour from Seattle Washington USA to Portland Oregon to all over California to Las Vegas Nevada and back home to Northern California!!
Planning on recording a full length with 10 songs on it most likely. That might not be for a little while. We are considering doing a split CD with MUMMIFICATION on IGNITE RECORDS in the meantime. Have not yet confirmed on that.
DT: Your last growl for DEATHTHRASHER readers?.
ED: Thanx alot for the interview ARMANDO!!! and thanx to DEATHTHRASHER readers for taking the time to read about us!! please check out our website at www.deathgrind.tk !! Someday we hope to play in South America!!!
