How did Cardiomyotomy begin? What does that name mean?
- This started when I once made a one man goregrind solo project called "CONTOLEKTOMY", then I got several people to be part of the band, then they suggested changing the name, then the band was filled with full members and I decided to change it to "CARDIOMYOTOMY"
- based on what I read, Cardiomyotomy is an operation for achalasia of the cardia, a condition in which the muscle in the lower oesophagus fails to relax and therefore hinders the passage of food and fluid into the stomach.
- and this is a cool name, no one has used it yet, that's why I used that name for my band
Who are some bands that influence you?
- Some of the bands that influenced me in making more for CARDIOMYOTOMY are DEVOURMENT, CEPHALOTRIPSY, ABOMINABLE PUTRIDITY, SOILS OF FATE, EPICARDIECTOMY, CEREBRAL INCUBATION, and many more
Is Cardiomyotomy signed to Gattack Records? Pathologically Explicit?
- Last year, the CARDIOMYOTOMY EP was released by Mr. Fernando, Pathologically Explicit Recordings, then this year I plan to release 2 new fresh songs via my friend's label, we are in the same city, and it aims to support my friend's label too, and it's called GATTACK RECORDS
"Euphoric Of Abnormal Horde" is so groovy. Is this all written by you and then the members of the band learn the parts? Can you explain your process a little bit?
- Yes, that's right, I write all the music, then my friends follow the songs I wrote, that's how my band works
Indonesia has been known for years to have some of the sickest Brutal Death Metal bands. Is Slam having a take-over there currently like it is here in the states?
- I don't think so, here there is a very good balance between Slam Death Metal and Brutal Death Metal, of course I also like a lot of BDM bands
What are a few upcoming Indonesian slam bands we should watch for?
- there are several bands that I think are very good, BLEDOS VECTOMY, my friend's band, they combine SLAM and HIP HOP, then there is TEBAS, I know them, their album was released earlier this year and it's great, Burp's vocals are like CEPHALOTRIPSY, honestly, I really strict in terms of choosing vocals, I prefer bands that use the EXHALE technique because it is more challenging and difficult, I am also a user of the EXHALE technique
Who did the artwork for the album?
- Aziz Blckstry, in my opinion, he is a great album cover artist, I love his work
- At first I only liked heavy metal bands, like Linkin Park, Avenged Sevenfold, Deftones, then Deathcore, but now I don't really like deathcore, then I explored other music and I entered the SLAM, BDM and GORE GRIND scene, I really like it , and snare sound, guttural burp vocals, groovy guitar part, blast beat, I really like it
- I also like other genres such as Shoegaze (Cocteau Twins, Slowdive), Pop/Britpop (The Smiths), Slow/Prog Rock (Dream Theater, Yngwie Malmsteen, Crimson Glory), Thrash Metal (Slayer, Megadeth), Death Metal (Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, Deicide, Massacre, 200 Stab Wounds, Blood Incantation, Necrot) and many more
Is more music coming? Any tours coming soon?
- yes, I plan to make material that leads to old school SLAM such as Devourment, New Wave Old School Slam
- I don't have any tour plans yet, just playing domestically, because I'm still adjusting, I now have to take on guitar and vocals because I don't have full members anymore, so it's possible that my next musical material will be adjusted to make it easier to play guitar and vocals, this band has been officially running as a One Man Band for now
Thank you so much for taking the time to answer these questions!
- You're Welcome! Salute!
Anything you'd like to say to your fans?
- I love & respect all of you music listeners, especially SLAM, BDM, and Death Metal, I will always accept your criticism and suggestions, long live DEATH METAL, I hope you are always healthy and united to fellow metalheads! \m/ , Thank you!
