Here Ricardo Bedoya of SCUMZINE, how are things in the band? And as is the Italian scene?
" Hi Ricardo, Unbirth ' s guitarist E. O ani here, things are going good with the band and also the Italian scene is growing good with many good bands old and new!!
1 Tell us as born UNBIRTH?
Unbirth was born in 2006 as a 3‐piece band doing some Aborted covers, then developed in a 5‐sickos band in 2008 pu ng out a split cd with Recreant( grind band) called Aspire to Deviance with 4 tracks from us. A er that we went into a lot of serious troubles( including the death of our previous singer Babu) which obviously put the band into a halt for more than a year. We decided anyway to come back in 2011 with a 3 tracks promo and a er a final change in the line up, we were able to record a complete full lenght last year, called Deracinated Celes al Oligarchy which came out in March under the flag of AVR rec.
2 Are you sa sfied with the produc on of AMPUTATED VEIN RECORDS did with the CD " CELESTIAL DERACINATED OLIGARCHY "?, How long it took to get the contract with the label AMPUTATED VEIN RECORDS? And received offers from other labels?
Yes on the produc on we are sa sfied with AVR and it didn ' t took too much, basically we sent out our recorded stuff via internet and we got some good responses from various labels interested in our works, in the end we just saw what we thought was best for us and we signed with AVR.
3 ‐ How things are going and the distribu on AMPUTATED VEIN RECORDS?
Things are going good in general, doing a decent number of good gigs both in Italy and Europe( not touring yet anyway) and receiving a very good response from people addicted to brutal death and death metal in general. The distribu on is very good with AVR, we can be found through Code7 and Plas cHead distribu ons, obviously also trhough AVR store and our bigcartel( h p:// unbirth. bigcartel. com) and in a large number of distros / labels stores online.
4 ‐ They have received the answer they expected by fans and the press extreme " CELESTIAL DERACINATED oligarchy "?
Yes actually we were thinking this was a good effort that took us a lot of me so we thought this could have had poten ally a good feedback, and it did! Both press and fans liked the album, and up to now we didn ' t received a single nega ve review / opinion about it!
5 ‐ Tell us how was the recording and mixing of the CD?
We recorded every track ' s take at Mindcrime Studios with our friend Jorè Storchi with no hurry at all( when we started recording we had yet to find a vocalist) then with all put together we sent all stuff to death metal guru Saul Morabito at 16th Cellar Studios in Rome, he did a very great job and he ' s been very helpful in many occasion during the mixing and mastering!
6 ‐ What can you say about " ASPIRE TO DEVIANCE "?
That was our first effort in studio, well it wasn ' t actually a studio, it was a computer and some mics in a garage actually, but in the end we were sa sfied by it, I s ll like the songs on that split and we s ll play one or two songs taken from it on lives from me to me, the produc on was very muddy and not ideal but that ' s not too bad anyway. The other band on the split was a grind band of our city wich was very good but unfortunately didn ' t lasted much longer a er that and split up.
7 ‐ What does the cover of " CELESTIAL DERACINATED oligarchy "?, Is an impressive cover is a work by FEDERICO MUSETTI, what you think? And who had the idea for this cover?
The cover shows an intricated cosmical womb, with organic eggs and pulsing lights, in wich a number of biomechanical arms operates to build and dismantle the exis ng ma er( Deracinated) thus destroying the known order of things and building a new one( Oligarchy) in the form of a new sun and new planets( Celes al), all is done violently and without control ‐ from this concept came the artwork and the album ' s name.
8 ‐ Are now preparing new threads, am I right? And when will be edited?
If you mean new song sure! We already have new songs to be refined and the process will go on next months, we hope to record the follow up next summer!
9 ‐ What is the way to wri ng material in the group?
I usually come up with a set of riffs, then jamming with the drummer we find a definite structure and with the bass player we define be er the song playing it, then we work on details( stops, harmonizings and stuff) and in the end we add up vocals and solos.
10‐Tell us about the shows and fes vals, what is the expecta on of the DEATH FEAST?, Yea bands have played? And in what ci es?
Death feast was a very good experience, it s always good to play in a different place you ve never been before, people liked us and stayed under the stage all the me even without knowing us. We also had the opportunity to play along great bands like Pros tute Disfigurement, Defeated Sanity and Wormed to say a few.. great stuff!!
11 Unbirth the CD is dedicated to his Vocalist " ANDREA " BABU " MALFATTO who died, tell us how was he in the group?
ell first I have to say was a great friend of ours before our vocalist so it s not just a great loss for music, there s much more. Then he was well known and respected throughout the italian DM scene thanks to his passion and dedica on for this music. He was also a great vocalist and he did a great job with us( and with his other bands Hobnailed and Discordance if you want to check them out), but with us unfortunately he only
