Interview with Lugubrious - by Fabricio (terribile@bol.com.br)
1-Hi Lugubrious,how
are you?
Hi, yes Iīm find!!!
2-How HAEMORRHAGE
start to play?
Haemorrhage started in 1990, just like a noisy project of two
school friends fans of pathology and grind core.
3-What was the
bigger difficulty in the beginning of the band?
There were very big difficulties in the beggining, like
lack of money,equipment, rehersal room, and line up. So it was
really hard to keep the band alive.
4-Tell us how
HAEMORRHAGE get in touch with Morbid Records?Are you completely
satisfying with them?
We sent a tape with 7 songs and Morbid offered us releasing a
split ep and then our first album. I think we are satisfied,
after 3 full lenght albums,1 mini-cd and 2 split epīs what do
you think? ha, ha.
5-About the first
CD "Emetic Cult",how are the response for this work?
The response for "Emetic Cult" was great in the
underground scene, many people consider that CD as a cult album
or something. Some big metal mags. tried to destroy our work
calling it "worst album of the month" but I think it
was a compliment and many people bought our album because of that.
6-Who choose the
cover from CD "Emetic Cult"? Where that pic was found?
It was taken in a museum in Holland.Itīs a really sick wax-sculpture...
7-What changes in
line-up happen in HAEMORRHAGE story? Please give the motive for
this change.
Only our first drummer(Jose) left the band, he hadnīt got a job,
and he also had big problems with his girlfriend, so he decided
to quit, and stop playing drums.Anyway weīre still friends.
8-Describe your
love for pathology?
I canīt describe it with words...maybe this verse from our song:"Iīm
a pathologist" says all... "Pathology is my life...my
obsesion until I die"
9-HAEMORRHAGE have
an woman in line-up an fact quite
unusual.Sometime HAEMORRHAGE was discriminated because this fact?
NO!!I donīt think so. When people listen to the music donīt
give a fuck if thereīs a man playing or a woman.Itīs only music.
10-In your opinion
what are the best HAEMORRHAGE album?
I donīt have only one because all of them are likes sons for me!!!
11-Tell us some
curiosity about the GRIND OVER EUROPE '96 tour?
It was very funny !! we drunk a lot and smoke tons of weed ...
The tour bus got broken in the middle of the night and we had to
push it. It was funny. I never saw a thing like that.!!
12-HAEMORRHAGE will
play in the GRIND OVER EUROPE 2000,right?What you expect for this
great tour?
Yes, we played in G.O.E. III but only 7 shows , cause we were
pissed-off and cancelled the tour.There were lots of problems,
our van was stolen, another van got broken, ill people we canīt
go on that way ! Itīs a pity!
13-How are
HAEMORRHAGE in live presentations?
Bloody! Sick! Noisy ! Schizophrenic!
14-In "Grume"
HAEMORRHAGE change a few their
music,including some groovy in songs. Who had this brilliant
idea?
It was nobodyīs idea. It was just a evolution. We donīt like
every album the same, so we try to include different elements in
each album, but keeping the style and traditional Haemorrhageīs
sound. I think that album was an influence for many new bands.
15-''Anatomical
Inferno'' it's a masterpiece for me.How
are recorded this album?
We recorded in the same place than "Grume" but that
time our intention was recording a brutal + sick album, different
than Grume so we got a thick + heavy guitar sound.
16-What mean the
cover in this album?Accidentally are guy
in a morgue bathing-tub?
Itīs a photo taken in a morgue in Brasil.(cool...in my own
country)-Fabrício.

HAEMORRHAGE influences.
Carcass, Impetigo, Terrorizer, General Surgery.....
18-Spain had great
gruesome bands like: Ironia, Machetazo, Mixomatosis. What the
secret for so sick scene?
I donīt know the most of these bands are new ones.Maybe thereīs
a new grind generation.
19-Some new band
that you want to promote?
Yes, Denak and Machetazo are great!!! Sick stuff!!!
20-HAEMORRHAGE have

from the gods of extreme musick!!!
