FLESH CONSUMED is one of the best bands of this decade, with a devasta ng material,
of ro en meat, with riffs bloodthirsty, full of dimensions and landscapes full of hatreds,
dismembered and dimensions full of pieces of meat and death around; new CD ready to
devastate " HYMN FOR THE LEECHES ", I do again work for UNIQUE LEADER
RECORDS, it prepares two for this devasta ng work.
1-We started talking about "HYMN FOR THE LEECHES", what
can you tell us about this work? And how was the way of
composing the songs in this work?
Corey: Hymn for the Leeches was wri en solely by Shaune Kelley.
Usually I write most of the music but I respect and look up to
Shaune, knew he would take care of the album. As far as the
vocals and lyrics go, they extremely aggressive. The lyrics were
wri en during a very hard me in my life so they came out very
hateful.
2-Tell us about this new alignment Shaune Kelley (Dim Mak, ex-
Hate Eternal, ex-Ripping Corpse) on guitars, Andrew Guthrie (ex-
Monstrosity) on bass, and Shane Elwell (Images Of Violence,
Oppressive Force, VBT) on drums, how history was to recruit
them?
Corey: Our manager men oned Shaunes name, I called him right
then and it was a done deal. Andrew I've known for a while, he's
an amazing bassist and friend so that was a no brainer. We
needed a drummer and I contacted one of my drummer friends,
he referred me to Shane which I am very grateful that he did, he's
an great drummer, I really love his style.
3- The guests on vocals Ma
TURKER, what's the story?
Way, Mallika and big STEVE
Corey: Ma and myself always help eachother out. Once I get
the album deal I call Ma and ask for his assistance, Mallika I
believe I met through Ma . Ive looked up to Steve Tucker for
325788892 years so I hit him up and he surprisingly said yes.
4- Us about the cover art that will bring "HYMN FOR THE
LEECHES", who will be in charge of design? , What was the
process? And represen ng the cover of "HYMN FOR THE
LEECHES"?
Corey: Dee Gozali from Indonesia. I give him the concept, he
draws it and I give sugges ons.
5 - What is the meaning it holds the tle of the CD "HYMN FOR THE
Leeches"?
Corey: Basically Hymn for the Leeches was wri en for the human
parasites of this world who use you and stab you in the back. So this is a
Hymn or song for them...hence the lyrics being so hateful.
6 What are the differences between "ECLIPTIC DIMENSIONS OF
SUFFERING" and "HYMN FOR THE LEECHES"?
Corey: Huge difference. Be er Musicianship, more evil, aggressive and
hateful music and lyrics...more open space…etc
7 - Tell us about the album produc on, recording and mixing of "HYMN FOR
THE Leeches"? Tell us how and what was the process?

New Jersey, Shane In Texas, Adrew in Florida, and myself in California. Mix and
Mastered in the studio that Shanes recording drums at.
8-¿De what they talk issues "HYMN FOR THE LEECHES"?
Corey: Hate, Power, Dominion
9 Why so many lineup changes in FLESH CONSUMED?
Corey: I use to be really cut throat and s ll am but have calmed down don't fire
people in haste based off of emo ons. Its all strategic like chess.
10 How much the band has progressed from his first band INHUMAN
BUTCHERY?
Corey: Wow, I got on the label I've always wanted to be on, ar sts that I always
wanted art from, places I've wanted to go. All my friends I met through music
except for two. My life is music and that's the one thing people can never take
from me.

Hymn.. so we just got see what avenue we feel like going down.
