Inherited Suffering Records is a label based in Russia (correct me if I’m wrong) that is strictly dedicated to brutal slamming death metal. So far they have an absolutely incredible roster and with Expurgate being one of their new signings, they just keep getting better. Also worth mentioning is Inherited Suffering’s organized and easy to navigate website, a concept that seems strangely hard to grasp for most independent labels. Go CHECK IT OUT.
Anyway, Expurgate is a very young four piece out of Denver, Colorado who describe themselves as ‘Slamming Guttural Brutal Death’, they sound just how that makes them sound, and you wouldn’t think they were so young.
I am very, very excited for this group to mature even further than they have and I think we will be hearing some very, very good things from them!
Below is a brief interview with vocalist Jaymes Grundmann
Cerebral Reviewment- Could you tell us the history of Expurgate?
Jaymes Grundmann- Expurgate began as a drum machine project with Devin (bass) and I during a malt liquor soaked drinking binge. A good amount of the material was written during that time and after months of searching we had finally found Ian (guitar) and Joe (Ex-drummer)… Got a set together and started playing a bunch of shitty bar shows in front of 5 people…Recorded the promo, got signed to Inherited Suffering records, parted ways with Joe, got our new drummer Chris, played New Jersey Death Fest and now we’re finishing up our first album in the studio
CR- How old are you guys?
JG- Devin, Ian and I are 19, Chris is 21…the band itself is only a little over a year old but we have all been in different local acts over the years.
CR- How is the BDM scene in Denver?
JG- Completely non-existent hahaha… Denver has a GREAT crust grind scene, but…as you’d guess, the whole crust grind crowd isn't too into guttural slam…some good bands to check out are Disease Called Human, Clinging to the Trees of a Forest Fire, Death of Self, Condemned Remains, Execration, Whore Grinder, Zombie Hate Brigade and Vomit God.
CR- Have you all lived in Denver your whole lives?
JG- Yes, not gonna change any time soon.
CR- Who are some of your favorite vocalists?
JG- SHO-GUN from Disconformity, Rob Solberg from Digested Flesh, Angel Ochoa from Condemned and Cephalotripsy, Will Caruso from Dysentery and K.P. Ripper from Screaming Afterbirth.
CR- What does the future hold for Expurgate?
JG- Our first full length Dementia Tremens should be released in the next few months…We will also be playing Las Vegas Death Fest next summer with hopefully a few west coast shows booked around it….Thanks for the interest in Expurgate man, and thanks for the interview.
Thanks a lot to Jaymes and Expurgate for the interview and I can’t wait to see what you guys do!!!
