Interview with Execrated drummer Tadz - 2013

Execrated, the relentless four piece Brutal Death Metal band from Davao, Philippines, have proven themselves a force to be reckoned with.  With only one EP (Reviewed HERE) under their belts, the next thing they release will have to be pretty amazing to top its predecessor.
I was lucky enough to conduct a quick and to-the-point interview with the band's drummer. Read on.

Cerebral Reviewment- Could you tell us who you are and what you do in the band?  

Tadz- My name is Tadz and I am the drummer of Execrated.

CR- Why did you guys decide to change the name of the band?

T- Well we made a mistake naming our band Degrade Incinerate in those past years. We received some negative feedback and reconsidered it, and it's not too hard for us to change our name because we are just getting starting.

CR- The death metal scene in the Philippines has always been known as a good one. Do you guys also feel that your scene there is supportive and strong?

T- Actually there is a lot of support from this country but the support is not that strong. We are still very grateful for the support we receive. We bow down and give great respect to those who support us, and for the record we will still make brutal music if they will support it or not.

CR- “Condemnation To Eternal Punishment” is a great EP! Do you have plans in motion for your next release? 
T- Yes! Actually, we are pursuing the writing of more songs to get ready for our 1st full length album.

CR- Art of Gore did an amazing job on the artwork of “Condemnation To Eternal Punishment”. How did the band get in touch with this artist and decide to work with him? Will you work with him in the future? 

T- Dmitry Simlyansky of Anopsys Records helped us find a good artist for our cover art. He showed us the work of Art of Gore and damn, it was a pretty sick piece of art and we have no regrets choosing Art of Gore. We are looking forward to working with him again. By the way, thank you so much Art of Gore!!!

CR- Will you guys be touring anytime soon? 

T- We don't know (real talk). We don't have plans to at this point, but if someone is willing to invite us then it will be no problem!

CR- Who are some of your biggest influences? 
T- Putridity, Antropofagus, Plasmoptysis, Woundeep, Disgorge, Dying Fetus, and also all Davao city based brutal bands.

CR- Thank you very much for taking the time to answer some questions!
T- Thanks for the interview!

These days, if you listen to a lot of Brutal Death Metal, your ears ought to perk up when you hear of a new group coming out of the Philippines.  The country has been widely known, to the underground metal community, as a hotbed of Brutal Death Metal talent for almost 10 years now.  Next to bands such as Human Mastication, Disastrous, Sagrado, Lamaw, Pus Vomit, Perverse Molestation, Down From The Wound, and countless others that you don't know of yet, Execrated prove with this 4 song release that they are well on their way to standing amongst Brutal Death Metal legends. Now, let's hope another release is on its way.
Execrated used to go by the name Degrade Incinerate but hadn't released anything to speak of until they recently changed their name to Execrated.  Execrated means to be hated or to be thought of as evil.  Degrade Incinerate is a mash-up of two verbs, the first meaning to break something down into smaller parts and the second meaning to completely burn something to ashes.  I am all for the name change.  The band is about to release "Condemnation To Eternal Punishment" through Anopsys Records, and you'd be committing a crime to not pick this up.
This EP is four tracks of fast paced Brutal Death Metal with just enough originality thrown in to excite us for a proper full length.  At times the guitars come across a bit too staticky and fuzzed out, with being as quick as they are.  This production flaw is quickly thrown to the wayside when the raw power of the vocals perfectly carries every riff, effortlessly transitioning alongside the relentless drums.
Every time your ear catches the 'ping' of that beautiful snare in the sparsely occuring slammier parts, you are reminded of why you love this nonstop, belligerent, groove inducing style of music.
All the necessary ingredients are here folks; The songwriting is here, the vocals are here, the riffs are here, all confidently flowing above the concrete steady drums.
This is a very detailed EP and begs multiple listens.  In doing so, you won't be disappointed.  You also wouldn't be too pressed for time.  I mean, you could listen to this whole thing four times in one hour.
"Condemnation To Eternal Punishment" is a very solid release, it's just way too short.  No excuses not to grab this one!
