GOREBORE

Another interview, this time with Maryland grinders Gorebore, again a wee bit dated but still relevant for all that, so here we go!!!

1. A bit of background information, when formed, who is in the band etc?

One Mr. Nick Temoshok on vocals, a Mr. A.J. Brandenburg on guitar, and a Mr. Mike Boyle on drums.

Mike: Well, The band was formed in mid 2014, originaly a 2 piece. A.J. and I were in a band with Nick, and Gorebore was formed as a side project. We were getting into a different sound, and had ideas that didn't fit the band's Tech Death sound. After writing more material, we had desided we needed a single vocalist, so we asked Nick to join and bam.. you've got Gorebore.

2. What inspires you when writing your material?

Nick: Jesus.
Mike: A good bit of the ol' Devil's lettus, and a few angry thoughts.
A.J.: Any brand of alcohol that has a pirate on it.

3. What is the scene like in your local area, do you get much chance to play live and what feedback do you get?

We love the scene in Baltimore. A lot of amazing people, promoters, musicians, and music lovers alike. We've met TONS of cool people playing in this area as long as each of us have in our music careers. But, honestly, we kind of feel like it's slowly dying. Less people out at shows, iconic Baltimore venues have been shut down because of rent raises, legal problem, or otherwise. It's honestly worrism. But we won't give up on our scene. BUY MERCH! BUY ALBUMS! HELP THESE MUSICIANS WITH THEIR DREAMS!

4. Have you recorded much and if so what and where can we get it?

We're ALWAYS working on new material. We'll be taking the winter to record and write, then we plan on getting started on our first EP in the spring. We have splits planned as well with our buddies in Rotting Phallus, and Cheerleader Concubine. But as of now, we have 2 singles and a live Demo entitled "Here Comes the Gore". Everything is available for free download (or name your price to donate!) at our bandcamp. www.gorebore.bandcamp.com.

5.What is it about Grind and Slam that does it for you? If you were trying to explain to someone new to the scene how would you describe it?

A.J.: You know how a mother bird chews up the worm, and vomits into the babies mouth? Thats what slam does for me. It takes music, and beats it to a pulp, so its easier to digest.

Mike: Slam and Grind are perfect together in my eyes. Its like a car crash. Grind is the car, driving at 120 mph (or 193 kmh) down the freeway. And Slam is the brick wall waiting for impact. Once the two mashes together, you get the sound of pure death nastiness.

6. What has been the best gig you have played and why?

We played this show in Baltimore with these 2 touring bands from Rhode Island, Sire and Bog of the Infidel. Great show, lots of feedback. People loved it. We loved it. It was pretty sick.

7.What are your favourite bands and why?

Nick: Way too many to name.

A.J.: Most of my playlist now in days consist underground metal band. Oiltanker, Deathtoll 80k. I'm really into Aborted and Insect Warfare as well. Anything that mixes crazy bat shit grindcore and death metal. It makes me happy.

Mike: I'm really into ACxDC and Full of Hell right now. I love fast, violent sounds. And noise. Noise is always fun.

8.Do you have any side projects on the go and if so what?

Aside from Nick being part of a Death Metal band called Bestial Evil, we don't really have other projects other than Gorebore. A.J. does some acoustic work, and Mike does some Rap work. But nothing really serious.

9. Anything else you would like to add?

Nick: I love you. I love you all.
A.J.: Gorebore: One small SLAM for man. One giant BEATDOWN for mankind.
Mike: Go to shows. Buy merch. Help these bands. One bowl pack can help make band moral skyrocket.
