Q & A with
Rob of australian grindcore band The Kill. (June/July
2002)
[The band found a new vocalist called Tony since the interviewing...]
Braindead:
So... The Kill, the band name. Is that a reference to the
Napalm Death song or just a coincidence?
Rob:
Yes! Its too hard trying to think of a brutal band name
these days. Everyone's used em all.. In our next release
on 625 productions and No Escape Records, we cover the Napalm
Track.....THE KILL
Braindead:
2-3
words to describe The Kill?
Rob:
Blast Grind....
Braindead:
What
can you say about Openwound? What did the band split? Did
it sound like The Kill?
Rob:
Open Wound was a little more hardcore. Constant changes
etc.... The kill is more straight out and aggressive. Open
Wound split because thier was too much conflict. We just
had to stop before we all killed each other. It sucked because
we did'nt record all our latest material in studio and it
was the best shit we wrote. Though the songs are being released
through No Escape shortly as bonus trax on the discography
cd. The sound aint the best, due to them songs being rehersal
trax recorded through a single micraphone.
Braindead:
I
hear you're looking for a new vocalist? What was wrong with
the last one?
Rob:
His was exactly what we wanted. Due to personal problems
it had to be that way and it sux. The last thing we want
is to look for someone new. But fuck, we have no choice.
Braindead:
Did you get some reactions from grindheads about the demo/split
7"s you've put out so far?
Rob:
We only released 100 copies of the demo and they sold
straight away, mostly in Australia. So The Kill is yet to
be spread through out. The 4way is selling realy well at
the moment ive been told by Dry Retch. Since i finally got
a computer in May this year, Developed a site and e-mail
address, the response has been sick! Thanx to you and many
others.
Braindead:
What can we expect from the upcoming full-length Mcd on
No Escape Recs? All new tracks or is it the tracks on the
demo?
Rob:
More Blast!!!!!!!!!!! Mostly all new tracks. Faster
songs and alot clearer.
Braindead:
Is it just me or the austrialian grind scene is getting
bigger and better recently? Fuck.. I'm Dead, The Kill, Kutabare
(Undinism)... Are there any other of these neat australian
grind bands to look for?
Rob:
Slowly its developing once again. Other than the bands
you listed, The only two bands that come to mind are: VAGINAL
CARNAGE- Gore Grind that will tear you apart. Picture a
faster version of GUT. Also a new kick arse FUCK IM DEAD
side project with no name yet! In the
vein of CBT....... Their are also a few blast hardcore bands
starting in other Aussie states that i have to find more
about. Mostly all influenced by Discordance Axis. Though
theirs never enough GRIND here!!!!
Braindead:
Australian grind bands seem to to be all for playing live
while many other grind bands are usually pretty reluctant
(Nasum, Regurgitate..) Am I wrong? Do you consider The Kill
to be a good live band?
Rob:
Yea! Most grind bands play live here, Except FILTH.
Ive never seen em! With out being full of myself, The Kill
live is hard for me to quote since ive never been in the
crowd to experience it. Though going by other peoples feedback
and watching gigs on tape. We get a brutal response and
put on a pissed, bloodfilled performance. Neil screams his
head off, Cutting himself up. Jay's fuming and bashing his
kit,
and im usually too blind and cant stay on the stage....
Braindead:
Any top 5 grindcore releases?
Rob:
REGURGITATE-all
RETALIATION-all
KALIBAS-all
ANAL CUNT-all (especially the last 3 ep's)
FUCK IM DEAD-all
In
no order........
Braindead:
And that's all I've got. Any last comment?
Rob:
Thanx for the interview Pierre,
BRAINDEAD kicks arse..............
