Greetings, Ryan. First of all introduce the members of Intestinal Disgorge to my viewers, and also tell the smelly tale of how this shit pile was consumed?

What's up Aaron? Thanks for this interview man. Well, first off we have Pissy, The Consumer of Festering Rectal Slime, he does the bitch screams for Intestinal Disgorge. This bastard is insane man, he can scream like a 12 year old bitch being tortured and dismembered. Next we have me, Ryan the Colon Grinding Corpse Butcher, I write most of the music and I play guitar and do backing screams and most of the FX vocals, such as the diarrhea gurgling growls and so forth. Next we have Josh, the Imbiber of Disgusting Urinary Discharge. Josh does bitch screams just like Pissy, and also plays guitar. Last but not yeast we have Nick, The Feces Caked Barbecuer of Anal Sausage, our drummer and the man behind most of the chokes and gags. It all started about five years ago with me and a friend of mine just trying to make a death metal band, but after a while it got boring and we sucked so we discovered goregrind, and we could actually play that, and we loved it, so after a few years of switching line ups and shit, we finally shit out Intestinal Disgorge, playing noisy goregrind with a furious mania for shit and piss and killing bitches.

Your first release was a demo by the name of "Festering Excrement". Do you look back to this tape, and wish you could have changed anything about it? Can anybody still get a copy of this demo?

I look back at the tape a lot, thinking about how it could have sounded a little better as far as production went, but it was just homemade and I figured it was the best I could do back then. I have no regrets about it, I still listen to it and love it. An old member of the band, Jaime "the Innocent Bitch Killer" did vocals on it along with Pissy, and we miss his ass, he moved up to Austin, but he'll be rejoining the band after this year, once I move up to Austin to go to UT. And yes, everyone will be able to hear the demo again in a few months, it is being re-released by Tasteless Shit Records on Cd-R format along with three cover songs and four unreleased tracks.

Speaking of this demo, you had originally wanted this to be a solo one man band, but you recruited some brothers of gore to help out with this recording. Why was there many line up changes, and why did you end up getting people to help out with the demo?

I originally wanted to do everything myself because I could, and it just sounded good. I loved the way I could control all the music and everything, playing all the instruments, but Pissy and Jaime (the two vocalists on the demo) would always just scream and do vocals along while they were listening to what I recorded, and I knew right then that I needed their vocals, because I can't bitch scream nor can I growl like Jaime can. I wanted really crazy vocals, and I found them. There have been many line up changes because it's tough to find people that play this type of music, and my criteria is, they have to be friends of mine, because I don't like recruiting people you don't really know into a band, it makes it a little uncomfortable. Plus, no one enjoys being stupid and making songs about shit and piss!

You guys are now signed to Lofty Storm Records from Brazil. Was it this demo that got you signed to such a sick label? How do you feel too be on a label with such bands as Flesh Grinder, Rotting Flesh, etc...?

It wasn't so much the demo that got us signed, which is funny. What actually happened was the members of GORE knew about us, and they enjoyed our music, and they were once signed to Lofty Storm. They told Marco (the owner of Lofty Storm) that we were going to be doing another demo soon, and Marco wanted to hear some shit of ours after that. So I sent him some songs and he immediately liked them and offered to put out a CD for us. It was the luckiest day of our lives, and the best because Marco is a fucking cool guy and he has helped us a lot. We love the fact that we are on the same label that has released so many brutal sick ass bands, it's awe-inspiring sometimes.

You have already released 1 sick as fuck CD on this label. Tell everyone a bit of this release, and how they can obtain it?

"Drowned in Rectal Sludge" is the name of our debut CD on Lofty Storm records. We recorded the whole damn thing in my garage on a 4-tracker, but the sound came out amazingly sexcellent for such a homemade recording. This release is just an insane, stupid, disgusting album dedicated to shit and piss because we think that shit and piss are funny. A lot of people keep asking if we really cover ourselves in shit and eat shit, but obviously we don't. We're just being dumb. But, this CD is perfect for you if you are tired of bands that get crazy but not crazy enough. Our bitch screams and blasting down-tuned grind, in my opinion, are just about the most insane shit you will find today. And when you really get into those moods where all you want is something really sick and really violent, you know how you always look through your CDs trying to find just the right one to feed your anger? Well, we feel that our CD will be the one you pick every time, cuz it is fucking crazy. Anyone can order it from Lofty Storm (the address is on our website) or from us directly (email me). Also, Razorback Records has it on their distro, as well as Morbid Records, Bones Brigade, Necropolis, etc.

Before the release of the CD, there was a split tape with you guys and Ejaculated Whore on Tasteless Shit Records. How did this label get in touch with you guys? Do you personally know the guys in E.W.?

I've known Drew (the owner of Tasteless Shit) for a while, he's a fucking cool guy. We were just talking back before the CD came out and I just suggested doing a release for his label, and he suggested a split with E.W., cuz they always love doing splits and they had some shit ready. And naturally I was happy to do it, because I know Wayne from E.W. and also SCUM BITCH, and he is a sick fuck! I knew the split tape would be fucking sick as hell and we couldn't pass it up.

We don't have any solid plans right now, but we are always open to splits. If any band wants to do a split with us, we'll be happy to do it! The only reason its tough to arrange splits is because it's hard to find labels that will produce them. But we're always ready, and we love sharing the speakers with sick fucking bands.

Speaking of new releases, what is the plan for the next full length CD. Any special surprises on this next recording?

Well, we plan to go into our "Sewer Room", also known as my garage which is hot as hell and smells like cat shit, in November or December to start recording our next CD. We aren't sure what we are going to call it yet, but we have been seriously entertaining the title "Bitches Ain't Shit". That kind of encompasses our theme in a pun. We sing about shit, and we sing about killing bitches. So I don't know. I just think it's funny. But, as for surprises, well the next CD should sound a lot better as far as sound quality, because I feel that my homemade recording knowledge is a little more vast now. The biggest surprise will be a guest vocalist with some fucking KILLER growls, from a killer band here in San Antonio called PUTRILAGE. You wouldn't happen to know him would you? Also, you can expect a few more longer songs (as in one and half minutes long), and you cane expect even crazier vocals than last time. We also have a few more ideas that every one will find out about once the CD comes out.

OK Ryan, I have to ask you this question....how the fuck do your minds come up with such disgusting song titles? Do you actually know a lot about the human anatomy, or is it on the spot reading in the dictionary (hehe!)???

Hahah, no we didn't use a dictionary or anything. I have always been completely obsessed with the human anatomy, murder, rape, serial killers, mass murderers, shit like that. I have also been fascinated by people who are truly depraved, such as shit eaters. It's amazing to me that they can actually be so twisted that they love to consume shit. All of us here in Intestinal Disgorge have very sick minds, and basically all we do all day is talk about killing people and raping people and eating them and doing all sorts of things to their corpses, and we often get to the point where we just start thinking of truly insane things, and it's when that happens that we write it down for future song titles. We try to make the sickest possible scenarios in our minds, then translate that to songs, and we try to actually put you, the listener, into an audio recording of a murder or some other torture event or something, hence the bitch screams. It's tough to explain, but you get the idea. In one sentence: we're fucked up, hehe.

In my opinion, the underground scene is very strong right now in time. What are your views on this scene of ours worldwide? Do you feel that each genre is out for competition? I ask because it seems to me like Black Metal fans hate death/grind/gore, and death/grind/gore fans hate black metal, and so on and so on.

I think the scene is fucking amazing right now! More and more talented bands are coming out of the woodwork and blasting us with their brutality and sickness. It seems like bands are starting to have a lot more fun these days, which is what I like to see. I am a firm believer in having a band as a fun part of your life, not as a job that you reluctantly continue to pursue. And sadly, yes I do think that different genres are out for competition, which is just plain fucking stupid in my mind. I hate hearing people talk about how black metal is supreme and since they like it, all grind fans and death metal fans can go fuck themselves, I mean that's just dumb to me. And I hate it when people still talk about this "trendy" idea. I personally think it's stupid to not like a band cuz a lot of people like them. I also think it's dumb to think that just cuz you listen to grind or black metal or something, that you have some sort of obligation to not listen to anything else. I wish people would lighten up sometimes, you know? Just listen to the music you like and fucking enjoy it. People make music out to be some sort of Political arena, with a hierarchy of bands and all that. It gets on my nerves sometimes, I just want people to relax man.

Obviously with you guys being young still, you are still in high school. What is high school like for the sickos in I.D.? Do the people at your school know you guys are so sick in the head?? and also, do your parents play a part in your decisions for the band (as far as shows/tours/lyrical content)?

Well, high school is the same for us as it is for anyone else in high school I guess. We hate it, just like most everyone else does. I take it seriously, because I take my education seriously, but I still don't enjoy a second of it. And yeah, basically everyone at school knows that we are in Intestinal Disgorge, and they know we're quite fucked in the head. We don't dress all black or anything, you wouldn't be able to tell us apart from the rest of the school I don't think. Most days you'll find us wearing blue jeans and white shirts, or black jeans and white shirts. We went through that stage when we were younger when we thought that we had to dress in all black and in band shirts to try and prove ourselves, but mostly everyone goes through that stage. We're well past that now, and I feel really stupid looking back on that. Me and Nick always talk about how dumb we always acted and looked. But everyone is cool with us, a lot of people at school have our CD, amazingly enough. Our parents? They play no role in the band, really. Because especially my parents, they hate our music. They let us rehearse and shit and they help me out with buying equipment and so forth, but they just say shit like "I wish you'd stop that screaming and put some real singing in there" or "I like the music, it's just that damn screaming", all the usual comments, haha. But, they support us because they don't know really how sick are lyrics and music are. If my parents actually knew how sick our CD is, I'd be dead! As for shows and touring, they came out to a few of our shows last year, they don't enjoy it but they do it just for support, and I appreciate that.

If you could shit and/or piss into any famous female face, who would you cake with your ass explosion and bathe with your putrid piss, and why?

That's a good question. I would probably shit all over Heather Graham. She is too goddamn gorgeous man!! I would caress the contours of her face with my warm, virile, flowing urine, watching it streak down her cheeks and past her slightly-parted lips like a golden stream. Then, we she got the phone to try and call the cops, I would shit all over the receiver so that her voice would be muffled, and if she wanted to talk to them she'd have to put her lips on the shit. I guess that's what I would do.

Ryan my newly found brother of bile spewing gore, welcum aboard Witness the Sickness. Thanks for taking the time while shitting to answer this interview. Care to spew upon everyone's PC with comments...

Well, again, thanks for this interview Aaron, I really appreciate it. I enjoyed it! And thanks for all the support you've given Intestinal Disgorge, and just know that we continue to eternally support the brutal blasting sickness of PUTRILAGE!! Can't wait to get some shows going and shit! And to everyone else, thank you for supporting us and (hopefully) buying our shit, and we'll be back early next year with some more disgusting bullshit for you! Keep it fucking sick and TELL YOUR DAMN REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS TO GET THEIR ACT TOGETHER AND HELP PUSH THE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY BILL IN THE STATES! LET'S LEGALIZE HEMP! ALASKA VOTES IN NOVEMBER!!! KEEP IT FUCKING PUTRID!!!
