5-What was the produc on of the video
"Egregious Torment" Whos idea was it?-
1- How was the band formed-
Abhorrent Aggression was founded by
guitar player Nick Giaquinto and
drummer Phil Shannon in early May
2012. Together we wrote songs and
cycled through a few different band
members un l finalizing our line up with
Gordie Stoner on bass, and Giuseppe
Tedesco on vocals.
2- What is the meaning and inspira on
of the tle of the new cd "You only die
once"? And what can you say about
"You only die once"?
We called it "You only die once" as just a
funny play on the saying "You only live
once" or "Y.O.L.O". We just got sick of
hearing people say "Y.O.L.O", which is a
shi y popular saying in the U.S. As far as
the album "You only die once", it's a
straight forward in your face death metal
cd. No bullshit just heavy, fast riffs and
sick drums!
3- Is a label interested in releasing this
album-
As of right now, no. There are no labels
interested right now that we know of
anyway. We just did the first run of CDS
ourselves.
4-What are the most important aspects
of this cd?Is it your first recording? Who
did the art for the cover?-
The most important aspects of this cd
would have to be just the focus on
having fun and wri ng heavy music. This
is our first professionally recorded
album, and we got the cover art from
Mark Cooper at Mindrape Art.
The video for Egregious Torment is a
combina on of live footage of us filmed
at Trick Shots in Cli on Park, NY (USA)
and a mash up of scenes from one of our
favorite horror movies called Dead Alive
and the whole video and the idea came
from our guitarist Nick.
6-Who are the main composers?, What
is the way you compose in the group?-
The main composers are myself(Phil) and
our guitarist(Nick). A lot of our stuff is
wri en by us ge ng together and
jamming a few cool parts or ideas and
filling in the blanks.
7-How is the music scene in your area?
How long have you played live?-
The music scene in our area is very good,
we are fortunate enough to have
awesome promoters like Joel Miller and
Mike Valente, who make sure that us
local bands are taken care of and we get
opportuni es to play with amazing
touring bands. We have been playing out
live for a li le more than 3 years.
8-What are your plans to promote this
cd?-
Our plans are simple but effec ve...Play
shows and try to get the cd to as many
people as possible!
9-What are some of your favorite
movies, serial killers or zombies?-
We are fans of any movies or shows that
depict the fall of humanity or bringing
the popula on down even just a li le bit,
HAHAHA!
10-Do you know anything about the
Colombian scene?-
I (Phil Shannon) don't know a whole hell
of a lot, but I know Tato and Jean from
Gene c Error. They put me on to a few
sick bands from there also!
11-Any final comments or anything you
want to add?-
We collec vely thank anyone who
showed any interest in our band and the
release of our cd, and I would like to
invite you all to check out my other band
called The Killing Condi on and Nick's
solo project called Obscene Execra on.
Thank You, and keep it metal!!
