EXECRATION
Here RICARDO BEDOYA of SCUMZINE How are things going with the band? Things with the band are going really good right now. We are keeping busy!!
1-Let ' s talk about new CD " THE ZERO ACCEPTANCE OF EXISTENCE ", how was recording and mixing? And how was the response from fans and press? The Acceptance of Zero Existence was a great me to record and mix. I was the audio engineer that did all of the tracking and mixing, so it was pre y relaxed. I also got to mix a couple of the songs differently because I felt they had a different mood. It seems that most fans and press really like the new material we put out. We went a different direc on with it, so I ' m glad people like it.
2- What does the cover of " ZERO THE ACCEPTANCE OF EXISTENCE "? And how was the process of crea on with TONY
KOEHL? It was great working with Tony Koehl because he knew exactly where I wanted to go with the concept. The art is a path that leads you to your fate that you have no choice but to accept. At the same me you have to look at what ' s happening to the others and realize you won ' t exist any longer at this certain point.
3- What is the significance of the tle of the new album " ZERO THE ACCEPTANCE OF EXISTENCE "? The Acceptance of Zero Existence takes you into a dark realm where you are accep ng your own faults, fears, addic ons, death; basically facing the reality that everyone has a darker side to themselves, and they should embrace it and even worship it. That ' s the short answer
4- Who are the main composers of EXECRATION? And how is the wri ng process? Myself( Kevin Elrod) and Jerred Houseman did most of the songwri ng for this album, while Wya did the lyrics. Brian joined the band just in me to write one as well. The wri ng process goes very smooth with all of the current members. A few things I ' ll write on guitar and they can play and record it, but most things we sit down and play as a band while we write. Jerred and Brian are maniacs with guitar riffs, and keep bringing more all the me!!
5- What can you say about the current alignment? And tell us about the two new members? The current lineup is the best that Execra on has ever had. Brian came from a strong background of guitar playing, experimen ng with a lot of different technical styles within extreme metal. Ian has a background mostly in grind. He is a great bass player, and also is awesome on guitar. Both of these guys are already making their contribu ons towards the next album!!
