OSCULUM
OBSCENUM
Intense
dark feelings penetrate my soul when I listen this band, this is the new combo
from de extreme south brazilian scene, a incredible Sado Masochist
Satanic Metal with a lot of lustful, pain and torture in the lyrics and
a powerful nightmare atmosphere in the music. The debut album "Body Hurting
Art", released by the great brazilian label Sonic Death, is a masterpice
of flesh hurting art. Welcome to the new perverted holochaust! KREPUSKULUM interviewed
the band.

Hi friends, congratualations for the great power and creativity of your music.
First of all, talk to us about the OSCULUM OBSCENUM tragetory.
CARNIFEX
FLAGELLUM CRISTUS: The trajetory of Osculum Obscenum starts in the mud and
that's where we will remain. The more it stinks, the more we will handle it.
What
is the reason for the band´s name? It is very Satanic, but the band´s thematic
is more based in sexual perversions with some touches of satanism? I´m right?
Osculum
Obscenum means a ritual of submission and domination. Why a name more
appropriated about a sado masochistic and satanic music? it is simple, isn't it?
Sexual perversions and satanism don't walk side by side? This is our view.
The
sound production of your debut album is great, it is crude and killer, but we
can hear all instruments and voices. How did you create this tortuous
atmosphere?
We used what was more appropriated and fit in the songs because they sounded like the sound of butterfly wings who fly over the shit. We loved it.
The
artwork of the album is simple and enigmatic, talk to us about the concept
behind it.
Sickness
brings sickness. Osculum Obscenum was pretty much attracted by Sascha's artwork
(CBT). Why more appropriatted than this? Sascha was able to interpret our music
and we didn't have to guide him in anyway. "Body Hurting art" is a
concept to break dogmas.
The
lyrics of the album are very blasphemous sometimes, like in the crude
"Jesus Gay" & "U.N.G.O.D (Unholy Goat Of Darkness)",
where come from the fury to write these lyrics?
From
the botton of my heart.
We
loved all musics from your debut but "Caligula Imperium" is the best
song of the album in our opinion, this is crude, minimal and killer, the furious
himn coming from the OSCULUM OBSCENUM soul. "Caligula" is a very
controvertial figure, did you love him and his acts? Did you watch the famous
perverted movie?
Caligula,
loved by some, hated by all. His figure represents the high patent of leadership
and rebellion. Actually, Osculum Obscenum represents the essence of perversion.
"Caligula Imperium" is just a homage to what makes part of our
doctrine and philosophy. Caligula was a sick freedom in his time, as
Osculm is today.
In
your posture you can see a lot of hate for the mankind...Are you satanists? Are
you nihilists or hedonists? What are your life philosofy?
We
are happy people because we believe in the world demise.
Of
course, GG Allin makes part of Carnifex's main influence.We love the pain, for
it is the only way to maximize the pleasures of the flesh. In our gigs, when we
are on the stage, everything is very spontaneous.
The
band is only a power trio, with 3 members: CARNIFEX FLAGELLUM CRISTUS (vocals),
CAIN´S PAWN (guitars) and ADIAMANTOS FLAGELLUM CRISTUS (drums).
Who play bass in the album? Do you intend to include a female bassist in
the band?
Cain's
Pawn played bass in the album. There has been an opportunity for a female bass
player in the band, but she was really into the "flute". Right now, we
have a new guy playing guitars.
We
can listen echoes of grindcore music in your sound? Do you like grindcore? What
are your favourite bands?
Old
Carcass, old Napalm Death, Cock and Ball Torture, Last Days of Humanity,
Intestinal Disgorge, Lymphatic Phlegm, Flesh Grinder, Anal Cunt, 7 MON, Crawl
Noise, Sore Throat, Merzbow, Fear of God, Minch, old Xysma, Meatshits,
Gonkulator, Catasexual Urge Motivation, Mortician...
In
some moments of the album we can listen thorn
vocals like remember very much the vocals of SARCÓFAGO´s first albums.
Is this band a influence for OSCULUM OBSCENUM?
Yes,
of course.
We
would like to know what are the 5 best albums of the Metal history in your
opinion and what are the 5 better bands of the present time?

The
new fashion of black metal is to put female vocals and melodic keyboards in the
music. What do you think about the called melodic black metal, and bands like
DIMMU BORGIR & CRADLE OF FILTH?
The
only female vocal I really appreciate is when my father spanks my mother. She
sounds to be howling!!! It's really lyrical to my ears. It's just so beautiful.
If D.M. and C.o.F. pays me some cachaça, I'll love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What
are the reception of OSCULUM OBSCENUM music in the world? Do you have some
contacts in another countries?
Things
are running fine, people in Brazil and from abroad are appreciating our music.
As for contacts abroad, we have a few.
We
are the announcers of the destruction. We are a the filth that exists in the
human being. We are subversive. We show yourself to you. We are nothing more and
nothing less than insanity occulted in the deepest dungeons of your
mind.Admiring Osculum Obscenum is admiring yourself. When you look at us,
remember one thing: you´re nothing but shit!!
