Yo! How are you doing??
What’s up Ant!!! Just ate a hot pocket on my lunch break I’m phenomenal, I apologize for any bad grammar or spelling I’m lowkey stupid
Please state your name and few things about yourself that might surprise us!
What bands are you in and what do you do in them?
I was lucky enough to ask Intestinal Sodomy a few questions a couple of years ago. Then more recently Divulsive. Now here we are with both groups about to release new material. Will there also be a Coagulated full-length to look forward to?
So currently we are sitting on the intestinal album and divulsive album the divulsive album drops this Friday. The coagulated full length is in its very early stages of the writing process. It’s been a pretty slow process due to everyone starting there adult lives, me Issac, Cameron and Townsend all work so it’s going I little slow but I promise the full length won’t disappoint!!!
Can you talk a little about the differences in the projects and the pros and cons of having so much cooking at one time?
So right now it’s honestly not too much on my plate now that we have 2 albums done but there definitely was a point in time where I was extremely overwhelmed with all the projects. Pros I would say it really helps getting your name out there I honestly don’t really care about stuff like that cause at the end of the day I’m a normal ass dude that’s going to clock in to work in the morning, it definitely really pushes your creativity making you form different styles for each project and I think that’s a huge pro, vocals are pretty easy to me and not very time consuming so it helps balance all the projects . Cons I would say the biggest one is no matter how hard you try your going to neglect a band or 2 I consider all my bandmates brothers but it’s impossible to work a full time job and balance all those bands that being said I still try my very hardest to keep up with everyone and stay up to date with everything but I wouldn’t trade it for anything I’d do anything for those guys we were all friends before we were bandmates
What else, other than heavy music, inspires you as an artist?
That’s a good question! For vocals Houston and Memphis rap really inspire me such as dj screw, lil keke, beltway 8, botany boys, Tommy wright and shawty pimp when I go play shows and I’m doing vocals that night it really gets me into the mood for drums I really enjoy some Japanese artists such as casiopea and masayoshi takanaka.
Can you remember a crazy story from a recent live gig that you could share?
they didn’t seem like they were there for the music. Houston is an extremely hardcore oriented city so even at death metal shows it’s not uncommon to see someone doing karate in the pit. Some kid maybe 15-16 kicked one of the guys in a shiesty in the face and they weren’t happy after the band was done playing they were talking shit back and forth outside and the kid ended up getting a gun pulled on him after they pulled the gun on him they just started jumping him and then when his girlfriend tried to intervene his girlfriend got jumped aswell. Very bad night I got many other crazy story’s I will forever love Houston but fuck that shit
Who are some vocalists that you really look up to?
I definitely have a big 4 for vocalist and that’s Ruben rosas of Devourment, angel ochoa from cephalotripsy, Justin boehm from orchidectomy and rob webber from enmity. Crazy thing is I feel like I don’t sound like any of them except angel lol
Drummers?
foetospy, liturgy and many more sick projects no questions asked he’s my absolute favorite drummer I’m extremely grateful to consider Jon a friend I talk to him pretty frequently on Facebook extremely humble and down to earth guy he’s always sharing story’s about brodequin, foe and liturgy I also look up to many other drummers such as the homie Nate Gonzales, Townsend Humphrey, alfie vienneau of orchidectomy is a big one, Lille gruber, Brennan from fake dust, max McMullen, Giovanni from corporal raid is sick too. Man I know I’m leaving out so many more sick drummers I could name sick drummers for days man
When I was at NSE fest, Ryan was so pumped to have Coagulated playing and was telling me how awesome you were and warned me to watch for big things from you.
Really made me tune-in to that coagulated set and then check out all of your projects even deeper than I already had!
Shout out to Ryan Baker and New Standard Elite! Can you talk a little bit about that relationship, how you first started working with NSE, and then also how it's been having Divulsive sign to Comatose?
**********************1 WEEK PASSES**********************
Bro, the Divulsive album is so so good, and your vocals are unique and inspiring! Can you tell us more about your journey doing vocals? Is it something you practice?
Also how did you get into hip hop?
It was kind of a long journey getting into niche rap when I was super young my stepbrother would play rap while playing video games so I found some songs from that. My ex had shown me dj screw and I kinda went on my own journey finding a bunch of Houston artists I used to go to car meets In Houston and Houston rap is played pretty often at those meets. All the Memphis shit came from Emrys from necrotic and virologist he kinda put the whole crew onto Memphis shit like blackout and Tommy wright III and a super underrated artist called lil yo who actually is yo gotti when he was a kid.
Do you have any goals for yourself or for any of the bands?
My life goals right now is to just continuing to persue a career in automotive I decided to goof off in high school so I’m stuck doing this lol, for all the bands I just want to keep trying to push the boundaries and produce a sound people haven’t heard. We try and just make music we would want to hear. My biggest goal is for us to stay in our own lane and do our own thing too many guys are caught up worrying about the next band and too worried about being better than someone else
What is something about you that no one would guess?
I really enjoy nature and long drives
What would be your last meal?
Seafood boil all the way or any Cajun food dude that’s the best shit ever my dads side of the family is from Louisiana and my favorite thing about visiting them was the food they’d make and the hospitality. Huge shoutout to mikes seafood off hwy 6 and bissonet
I mentioned them earlier but Casiopea is fucking great. Flats and Scruggs is amazing bluegrass. Marty Robbin’s is amazing aswell.
What sort of automotive work do you do? Do you have a dream car?
I’m currently at a Toyota dealership working on gas cars I’ve been thinking about getting into diesel work. My dream car is really anything Datsun made from the 60s to 70s
Fleece Johnson 😂
Do you use drugs and/or alcohol?
Unfortunately I have a terrible addiction to gas station boner pills I don’t even take them for sex I just take them and go run hard as fuck dawg, on a real note I’ve been clean for 6 years off all the hard shit
Do you have any pets?
I dont have any pets of my own at the moment but growing up I’ve had a lot of pit bulls very sweet dogs
