KREPUSKULUM - The LYMPHATIC PHLEGM´s proposal didn´t chhange in these years of existence, you play a grothesque kind of splatter metal with fucking guitar riffs, drum machine and pathgore lyrics. What is the reason to play this kind of music??

ANDRÉ - Before all, thanks a fuckin´lot for your nice words about our musick !!! If I´m not wrong, it must have started since the 80´s ends and early 90´s when we´ve started to listen “Splatter Gore” more actively, to read about it on fanzines, magazines and books, to see more and more flix of this genre, to get more and more stuffs into this, our current life reality since those times, etc... I think all these segments make us enjoy all what´s into this way of entertainment a lot. The “Splatter / Gore” culture is a very interesting kind of entertainment and we really love it !!! It may be a little difficult to explain with words what it represents for us, I think only the people really involved with it can understand what I want to mean, you understand, right??? I think it all are good  reasons to explain it !!!

 

Where come from this intense love to the grothesque and for the human bodies in decomposition??

It´s really very special for us, we really love all this kind of stuff. There´s no nothing so interesting and fascinating as the medical science and all its segments (You can enclose “human bodies in decomposition” on it too !!!), you can´t imagine how many things we can learn with this. Everybody into this kind of stuffs knows what I want to say. Do you know how many kinds of pathology your sordid organic structure can develop???  Have you the half-note of how are you pathologically disposed ??? Try to know about it and about all what these amazing sciences can offer to you, it´s really fantastic !!!

 

Are you great nihilists? Do you believe in a good future to mankind?? Do you believe in a kind of God or superior conscience?

No, we aren´t nihilists or something on this way. Rodrigo is into catholicism, so he´s into christianism and teocentrism !!! I haven´t any kind of philosophy on this way or religion, I think a “believe in your self” conscience is the better way to follow. Everyone can have their own philosophy and religion´s preference and nobody can say if it´s right or no, we respect anyone of them and at any way you go it´s okay, the main reason is if it´s good to you !!! I don´t know if the mankind will have a good future, just the time will give us the answers for it, so while it ... We´re just exposing the things like they really are, it´s a reality or no ???

 

The lyrics of LYMPHATIC use a very specific medical words. Do you study legal medicine??

No my friend, unfortunately I didn´t study Legal Medicine. About our lyrics, I got a full text, so I extract the main parts of this making a compendium, an abstract text with all itens that the lyrics needs. Sometimes, I enclose some personal positions on it too, but just sometimes, just when it´ll sound great !!! The lyrics are really very important for us, they are a complement for our musick, through the lyrics we can expose all which our tematic is about, they are really essencial. Only on some songs we don´t enclose lyrics due to the short running time or just for the title already say what we want, but they´re very few !!!

The climates of songs like “ Growth of the Mucous –Membrane III Vein Tissue and Stomach Subjacent Fiber Tissue Layer” remember a intense nightmare, the guitar have a curious echoes effect…I´m right??? Do you use echo effects in the LYMPHATIC songs?

Honestly, there´s no any particularity, we use common pedal effects. Maybe it happens at the mixing period or for some special studio´s characteristic,we don´t know.Fortunately the people are always comment very well about it and it´s the main, great !!! 

 

The band use drum machine and some radical lovers of underground music hate the use of pragrammings. What you think about it?

Well, It isn´t a preference, it´s a necessity !!! If we want to do something here, we need to do with the drum machine and it´s and will be one of our main characteristics ever and we´ll never want to leave it !!! We don´t fuckin´care if somebody hate it or no, I´m sure there more people who enjoy than hate it, so it´s really important. We´ve our reasons, so it´ll will go on this way !!!

 

In your opinion what are the ten best splatter albums of the music history and what are the ten best gore-splatter acts now??

“Regurgitate – Effortless Regurgitation...”

“Last Days Of Humanity – Indigestible Hymns...”

“Carcass – Reek Of Putrefaction”

“Dead Infection – Surgical Disembowelment”

“Impetigo – Ultimo Mondo Cannibale”

“Repulsion – Horrified”

“Dead Infection – A Chapter Of Accidents”

“Carcass – Symphonies Of Sickness”

“Last Days Of Humanity – 138 Minutes Body Disposal”

“Autopsy – Severed Survival”

Last Days Of Humanity, Regurgitate, Sublime Cadaveric Decomposition, Haemorrhage, Disgorge (Mex), Machetazo, Gruesome Stuff Relish, Decomposing Serenity, Feculent Goretomb, Neuro-Visceral Exhumation ... 

 

Do you think in use another themes to the lyrics of LYMPHATIC PHLEGM, like horror tales and serial killer sagas??

No, we never will change our thematic way, we think it´s a very special Lymphatic Phlegm´s characteristic and it´s the only and exclusive topic we want to write about ever !!! There already other cool bands (And making it very well !!!) talking about mass murder sagas, horror tales, splatter in general ...  

 

Talk to us about the gore-splatter brazilian scene, what are the great bands, labels and magazines for you?

Well, the “Splatter / Gore” scene in Brazil fortunately continues very strong and active. Unfortunately we had some sad losses in the last years, some fuckin´ great bands such as: “Carnal Thumor”, “Sarcastic”, “Vômito”... broke up, but other great names have rised and are nowadays disseminating the Grind Gore sickness from Brazil, they are: “Neuro-Visceral Exhumation”, “Feculent Goretomb”, “Neoplasm Disseminator”, “Cativeiro”, “Lethal Sense”, “Compulsive Vulvolatric Intruders”, “Genital Lacerate”, “Schatologic Madness Possesion”, “Gore (Is back !!!)”, “Necrorising”, “Disgusting”... Most of you probably knows them, right ??? I think this rotativity is very common, some bands go and other bands come but the most important is to keep the scene strong, active and united and we´re very glad to colaborate with it and stay sure that it´ll go, on this way for many, many years yet, “Hail brazilian Grind Gore” !!! All mentioned bands are really fuckin´great, support them all !!! About labels and mag´s I like “Lofty Storm Records”, “Bucho Discos”, “Absurd Records”, “Vomitorium Productions”, “2+2=5 Records”, “Black Hole Productions”, “Deranged For Leftovers Productions”, “Rotten Foetus Productions”, “Otite Records”... “Black Hole Mag.”, “Psychosis Death Zine”, “Hospitalar Infection Zine”, “Carnificina Grincore Web Zine”, “Morbid Tales Zine”, “Dark Gates Zine”, “Pathological Sphincter Info.”, “Aarrgghhh Zine”, “Abdução Extrema Zine”, “Sinfonia Doentia Zine”, “Triturado Web Zine”, “Krepuskulum Web Zine” of course ...

 

Where come from the 3 splattered pictures that  covered the new split CD (gore to the end…)???  

Those pictures are from one of my Medical books, this cover is really very special for us . Please let me know,it looks really very nice right ???
