A few questions - interview with death metal band from USA

A few questions - interview with death metal band from USA - UNDEATH.

Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? When was it founded and what style of music do you play etc.?

What’s up? We’re Undeath from Rochester, New York, USA and we play skull crushing death metal. We formed in late 2018.

Where and under what conditions were you recording the new album? Who was in charge of sound, production and mastering?

We recorded “Lesions of a Different Kind” in January/February 2020 at the Headroom studio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Scoops Dardaris oversaw the production and Ben Cultrara oversaw the mastering.

How many copies were released and which medium was used for this new edition (CD, digital, vinyl, cassette)?

The album has been released on vinyl, cassette, CD and digitally. Prosthetic handled the release of everything but the cassettes, which were released by Maggot Stomp.

Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with?

Our guitarist Kyle Beam wrote all of the lyrics. They deal with sick death metal shit like corpses and guts and killing people with swords and axes.

Who created the logo of the band, and who took care of the graphics and the website? What about you and social networks? Do you consider these things important?

Our drummer Matt designed our logo for us and he also designed our cover art. We’re on all sorts of social media like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter - we’re pretty easy to find. I do consider these things important, especially now that we can’t tour or play shows due to COVID. It’s basically the only way we get to interact with our fans.

Which label did you choose for releasing your album and why this label? Are you satisfied by how your label represents you and takés care about you?

Prosthetic Records released our album on vinyl, CD and digitally and Maggot Stomp released it on cassette. We chose both labels because they have great track records and so great work, and we’re very satisfied with how they’ve taken care of us.

Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?

I don’t know if we idolize anyone, but we certainly take lots of inspiration from bands like Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Bolt Thrower and Cryptopsy.

Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response?

We were picked up by Prosthetic and Maggot Stomp very quickly, so we didn’t really get the opportunity to send it anywhere else!

How many gigs have you played? Which type of gigs do you prefer, whether it's (clubs or festivals) and which of your performances would you consider as the best?

We haven’t played that many shows to date - maybe a dozen or so. We had a lot of shows planned for 2020 but obviously those have all been cancelled due to the ongoing pandemic. I think all of us prefer a more intimate, club gig as compared to a festival type environment, but we’ve never played any festivals so that could definitely change!

I would consider the show that we played in Columbus, OH as our best one to date. We sounded great, the crowd’s energy was on point and it was generally just a really great time.

What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band?

Touring as much as possible as soon as it’s safe to do so, and to keep releasing music for people to bang their heads to!
