OMINOUS GATEKEEPER
v ESPAÑOL / SPAIN
One that I'm very proud of is “Six Miles Down
The Well” which is an extremely dark
dISEMBOWELMENT- es que album
Here, Ricardo Bedoya SCUMZINE
magazine, we can start talking about
how the band was formed, who are
members of the group? And whose
idea was it to create this group?
Thank you for the interview Ricardo!
We have Daniel Hemmerich on
drums, Andrew Guthrie on bass, Max
McMullen on Vocals, Shaun LaCanne
on Vocals and myself on Guitar. I
created the group, it actually started
as a solo project 2 LPs and 1 EP ago.
What does the name OMINOUS
GATEKEEPER? And what was the
reason for choosing this name for
the group?
I chose the name with the concept of
this higher power gatekeeper
allowing access to the dark paths of
the psyche metaphorically .
They have a contract with Ossuary
INDUSTRIES, and they will release
their first album What do you expect
from this?
Who designed the cover art of the two
covers? and, How was the design and
crea on process of the two covers?
It's going to be an amazing album.. We have top notch musicians,
Dee making amazing art and Luis Pinto, the very best at logos and
layouts, doing both of those.
Tell us a bit about the new album, what can fans expect and
extreme press?
I've made punishing albums before but what differs from the other
albums is the non-stop punishment.. The interludes are gonna
con nue to be dark, set the atmosphere, and create dynamics but
as far as the music goes, non-stop punishment.
Tell us about the promo CD, What significant respects?
There are mul ple releases that differ very much from this album
under the Ominous Gatekeeper name
Dee Dee did the new album. Hvll did “Lord of
the Pyre”, “Six Miles Down The Well” is a
picture of an angel weeping and the first
album was make by Rudi which is a great
piece of art as well.
How does the composi on OMINOUS
GATEKEEPER? And what is the theme of the
band?
I do the composi on for OGK. The theme of
the band varies but for this and the first
album its about an overlord that allows
access thru the gates into the dark side of the
psyche.. Most allowed access are of the most
abhorrent, grotesque, vile beings. The other
two albums are about drugs and insomnia.
