VOMIT
REMNANTS - Unleashing Brutality In The East
By Paul Schwarz
You ever have one of those rare times where you know a band are
playing A LOT like another band, but you still can't deny the enjoyment
their music brings? Supreme Entity, Japanese terrors Vomit Remnants'
debut album, is a prime example of one of those rare times. Choosing
UNRESTRAINED! brutal death favorites Dying Fetus could have been
their biggest mistake, but it has actually been to their advantage:
Vomit Remnants have incorporated a little of their own personality
into an album which by its quality of writing more pays homage to
Dying Fetus than it rips them off. I conducted this brief interview
with drummer Keishuke by e-mail accessed through his mobile phone
(technology just moves too fast for me...) so his answers are short.
Also, it has been left with his original words intact [only cleaned
up for clarity – Ed]. Though Kei's grasp of English is limited,
the enthusiasm he shows partially through his language made our
chat more than worthwhile.
UNRESTRAINED!: There is a very distinct, and acknowledged,
Dying Fetus influence in the music you play. How important are DF
to your musical ideas, and why them rather than any other band?
Keisuke: We try (for) real violent brutality to be new death
metal but not totally typical. I don't think we are the most original
band in the brutal death (genre). Of course Dying Fetus influence
in the music we play. But say what you guys like, they are god!
They play best way in mixed style between blast and groove. It's
kicked our fucking goddamn ass!!
U!: Your presentation, lyrics, and music all seem very to-the-point.
What impression do you hope to make on people with Supreme Entity
musically, lyrically, visually, etc.?
K: Fuck humanity! Totally full of violence.
U!: Who are Soils Of Fate, and why did you choose to cover
one of their songs on this record? <br><br>K: They are
underground brutal act from Sweden. I just wanted make bonds of
friendly ship on the album 'cause we are good friend since I start
the band. He is coolest!!
U!: Japan is not renowned for its death metal scene. Could
you tell the North American public what the situation is in Japan
with metal and specifically death metal, and mention any particularly
noteworthy bands emerging from Japan or the Far East at the moment?
K: Um...Japanese death metal scene is quite poor. There are
extremely few bands, no zines, only a label/distro (Macabre Mementos),
no shows... We also fucking hate this situation and Japanese culture.
I think very difficult to play death metal band in Japan. Defiled
and Distemper is good bands from Japan. But we've never heard more
brutaler than us from Asia.
U!: Though your music has some unusual structures and unexpected
changes, for the most part you are producing death metal derived
from a tried-and-tested formula. In the future do you aim to stick
to being merely brutal and to-the-point or do you feel that you
want to push yourselves to innovate or revolutionise the scene?
K: Thanx for the very kind words! We wants make revolutionise
the scene for (the) way of sticking to being brutal in the scene
of global death metal underground. NO-FUCKING-COMPROMISE!
U!: You have some interesting and amusing samples on the
album. Why did you decide to use samples and why these particular
ones?
K: The samples feel just funny, but the conversations are
sick! We liked their gap. It's taken from famous hip hop group.
Do you know?
U!: No, which one?
K: We taken the all of samples from CYPRESS HILL.
U!: Apart from Dying Fetus, what bands would you cite as
your biggest influences?
K: Suffocation. Internal Bleeding. Pyrexia. Mortal Decay.
Our today's favorites are: Deeds Of Flesh. Gorgasm. Disgorge (U.S.).
Devourment. Entorturement. Dehumanized and Skinless...I can't stop.
U!: Finally, anything you'd like to say about your music,
scene, opinions, etc. do so now.
K: Thank you man and thank you all for supporting brutal
death metal. You all better pick up Vomit Remnants’ Supreme
Entity. You can either get it through your favorite underground
distro or through us, just send U.S.$16. Our next material coming
soon on Extremities Productions!
