Salvaged Flesh interview 2024

Salvaged Flesh is the brain-child of Floridian Bryce Nielsen.  Thank you for sitting down to answer a few questions!

"Cerebral Incubation/Artery Eruption mid 2000's slam worship. With this release, I am abandoning the goregrind sound wit this project. This style of slam will continue on future releases." - Salvaged Flesh


CAN YOU START BY STATING YOUR NAME AND AGE?

Bryce Nielsen and I’m 25 years old. Some people might know me as Brihk (the name I used under a lot of my projects). 

HOW DID THE BAND START?  IT SEEMS LIKE WE ARE IN AN ERA OF MANY ONE-MAN-SLAM-BANDS BEING BORN.   I PERSONALLY LOVE THIS!  WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON IT?

Salvaged Flesh was originally a goregrind project. I did a demo that I released on my little tape label Moldy Mellon Cassettes and had an EP that I don’t think I ever released publicly. But that was like my 5th goregrind project and I haven’t had a proper slam project in about 2 years so I decided to start going more that direction and sound. 

My first 1 man project I had was a slam project called Lordosis Scoliosis. Don’t bother looking it up it was pretty shitty but everyone’s got to start somewhere I guess hahahaha. I’ve always been a big fan of slam and brutal death metal, since even before I got into goregrind and gorenoise, so I just figured it was long overdue for me to have a slam project again hahaha


ONE OF MY FAVORITE ASPECTS OF THE EP IS THE FUZZED OUT BEEFY GUITAR TONE AND THE TIN CAN LIKE SNARE.  DOES A LOT OF THOUGHT GO INTO THESE WHEN RECORDING?

Oh yeah I’d go as far as to say I put more thoughts into the tones than really any other aspect of the recordings. I wanted to do my best to emulate that specific 2000s tone and production. 

I'M LOVING THE LOGO AND THE ARTWORK!  WHO DID THOSE?





The logo was done by my buddy Corey and the artwork was done by Joey Cashman of Goremonger

CHOPPED AND DISPOSED (LISTEN HERE) FEELS LIKE A COMPLETE PROJECT WITH A HEAVINESS AND GROOVE TO IT THAT KEEPS ME COMING BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN!  ARE YOU PLEASED WITH HOW IT TURNED OUT AND PEOPLES REACTION?

Thank you I appreciate that! And Oh yeah I’m most definitely stoked with how it turned out. It’s always a good feeling when something ends up sounding exactly how it first pictured it in my head. 


BEEN IN ANY BANDS PREVIOUS TO THIS ONE?

Yeah I play bass in a death metal called Blunt Force Trauma. And no not the Japanese one hahahaha. I also have had a handful of goregrind and gorenoise projects which can be checked out on the Acrid Infestation YouTube channel, cause it’s too much to name them all here hahahaha. 

HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH THE NAME "SALVAGED FLESH"?

I honestly don’t remember. My guess is I was stoned and someone said those words in a movie and I thought that would sound cool as a band name. That’s usually how I come up with a name hahahahaha. 

ANY PLANS FOR PLAYING SHOWS IN THE FUTURE?

For now it’s just going to be an online project, but anything is possible. 

ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SAY TO OUR READERS OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO SAY AT ALL?

Thank you to anyone who checked out the EP and a big thank you to Cerebral Reviewment for having me do this interview!!
