Interview - Cannibal Corpse
Sean Michael Coale interviews Paul Mazurkiewicz...and
we have a few minutes of it before the tape got eaten!
Sean Michael Coale: For
the uneducated can you sum up the Cannibal Corpse sound?
Paul Mazurkiewicz: "Well I think it's
just sheer brutality, basically. I mean that is our attitude
and that is our sound. We've always...We're always looking to
be on the darker side of life with the lyrics of course, the
artwork and the music. Dark brutality would be a good
summation of what Cannibal Corpse is. And 'Brutal' is a good
word, I like brutal."
SMC: Do you guys find it easier over the
years evolving your sound?
PM: "I think it's a natural kinda
progress of sorts, really. In the beginning we were young of
course, just getting together as a band. Working with new
musicians, that we've never worked with before. Myself, Bob
Rusay and Chris Barnes were the original 3 that came from
Tyrant Sin. Alex and Jack came from a band called Beyond
Death, so we're meshing for the first time of course. And
learning each others abilities, or playing. And we're growing
as musicians. So I think it was a natural progression of
course to evolve our sound and become better musicians and
song writers. You know I think really once we hit kinda 'The
Bleeding' in my eyes is when we actually began started kinda
fine tune, to be our more modern sound we are today. You know
it was always what we were aiming for, and we were able to
do it with the line up we have now. With Pat and George in
the band, and were more experienced at what we do. We're
always about the song cause we're not the fastest band, we're
not the most technical band. We just try hard........"
