The GrindCore and Gore/Death Metal scene is growing bigger and stronger by the day. Most of the best bands is from countries normally not associatee with metal. Countries like Slovakia, The Czech Republic, Spain, Columbia, Chile and Disgorge's homeland Mexico. Although their newest album failed to excite me, I sent Antimo from Disgorge an interview sheet. Here is what he have to say..
1. When and where was Disgorge started ? Could you give us a brief
biography ??
WELL HERE IS A BRIEF STORY OF WHAT HAD BEING DISGORGE:
THIS IS THE LINE UP SINCE 93:
EDGAR-GUITARS,GUILLERMO-DRUMS,ANTIMO-BASS &VOX
WE HAVE RELEASED THIS UNTIL NOW:
-REHEARSAL 94
-DEMO TAPE 95 "THROUGH THE INNARDS" BELLPHEGOT RECS.
-DEMO #2 SELF RELEASED 96, RE RELEASED BY OBLITERATION RECS IN 98
-CD-TAPE "CHRONIC CORPORA INFEST" 97 AMERICAN LINE PRODS
-SPLIT 7" WITH SQUASH BOWELS, 98 BIZARRE LEPROUS PRODS.
-VIDEO-CD LIVE "OZ LIVE" 99 OZ PRODS.

WE HAVE MADE 4 TOURS ALONG ALL HE MEXICAN REPUBLIC, AND 2 TOURS IN CENTRAL
AMERICA WITH GREAT DIFFUSSION THERE...
WE HAVE SHARED STAGE WITH: CANNIBAL CORPSE, MACABRE, CENOTAPH, THE CHASM,
INCANTATION, AVULSED, ANARCHUS, SHAMASH, ROTTREVORE, KATAKLYSM, TENEBRARUM,
BLOODSOAKED, KRABATHOR AND TONS OF MORE BANDS
AND I DONT KNOW WHAT OTHER STUFF TO PUT...
2. Let's first of all clear up a misunderstanding. Apparently there is a US
band with the same name as Disgorge. What's the difference ?
WE ARE FROM MEXICO AND WE ARE THE FIRST BAND WITH THAT MONIKER SINCE 93,
I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE OTHER LOSERS WITH OUR NAME ... IM REALLY TIRED
OF THESE SHITTY CONFUSSIONS...
3. Please tell us more about your earlier demo-tapes and participation on
compilation albums.
WE HAVE RELEASED 3 DEMO TAPES BEFORE OUR FIRST ALBUM AND WE HAVE
APPEARED IN TOINS OF TAPE COMPILATIUONS AND WE HAVE ALSO FEATURED ON THE
VIDEO COMP. FOR BELLPHEGOT RECS THE AUDIO VISUAL ABERRATION #2...
4. Please tell us more about your debut album "Chronic Corpora Infest" on
American Line Production.What is your view on that album in retrospective ?
THIS ALBUM CONTAINS 9 TRACX OF PURE BIZARRE GRINDING GORE METAL WITH A
LOT OF INTERLUDES TAKEN FROM VERY GORY HORROR MOVIES, WE RECORDED IT IN A
WEEKEND AND ALSO MIXED IT AND MASTER IT, I WERE TOO DRUNK THOSE DAYS, THIS
ALBUM WERE RECORDED ON THE INFAMOUS TEQUILA STUDIOS WERE SOME UNGODLY CULT
MEXICAN ALBUMS WERE RELEASED, LIKE CENOTAPH "GLOOMY REFELECTION OF OUR
HIDDEN SORROW", SHUB NIGGURATH " EVILNESS AND DARKNESS PREVAIL", THE CHASM
"FROM THE LOST YEARS" AND "DEATHCULT FROM ETERNITY" AND SOME OTHER GREAT
DEMOS AND ALBUMS..., ALSO THIS ALBUM WERE RELEASED ORIGINALLY AS TAPE FORMAT
ON THE INDIE NOW DEFUNCT LABEL PERPETUAL RECS ( PINCHE JULIO!!) AND I REALLY
LIKE THIS ALBUM, THE PRODUCTION WERE NOT TOO MUCH GOOD BUT IT SOUNDS RAW AND
HEAVY I REALLY LIKE IT...
5. What happened between the release of that album and your signing on
Repulse Records ?
WE HAD RELEASED THE SPLIT 7" WITH SQUASH BOWELS IN BIZARRE LEPROUS PRODS
FROM THE CZECH REP.IN 98 THIS SPLIT GAVE US A LOT OF DIFFUSSION IN EUROPE
AND THAT SPLIT CONTAINS THE DEMO TRACKS OF 2 SONGS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE
"FORENSICK" ALBUM, ALSO THEN WE RELEASED A LIVE VIDEO HOME AND CD IN 99
THROUGH OZ PRODS. THE "OZ LIVE" AT SIDE WITH SOME OTHER GOOD BANDS AS: DIES
IRAE, SHAMASH AND BURIED DREAMS THIS IS THE FIRST VIDEO APPEREANCE FROM THE
BAND WITH 5 TRACKS ALIVE IN MEXICO CITY AT THE LOPEZ MATEOS ARENA, THAT WAS
A REALLY GREAT SHOW... THEN WE GET THE CONTRACT WITH REPULSE RECS.
6. Why did you sign on Repulse Records ?
THEY GAVE US A REALLY FAIR DEAL AT THAT MOMENT AND FOR US WAS A REALLY
BIG OPORTUNITY TO GET ON REPULSE, CAUSE WE HAD BEING NEGOTIATING WITH DAVE
ROTTEN SINCE OUR DEMO TAPES, SO HE LIKED THE FIRST ALBUM AND HE DECIDED TO
SIGN US FOR OUR 2 ALBUM, AND AT THIS MOMENT WE HAVE BEING WORKING PRETTY
WELL WITH THEM THEY HAVE PROMOTED US REALLY WELL WITH TONS OF PROMOS EVERY
WERE AND A GOOD DISTRO ALL ARAUND THE WORLD I HOPE ALL THINGS GETS BETTER
WITH THEM WE HAVE SIGN WITH THEM A 3 CD RECORD DEAL.
7. Please give us a full insight to your new album "Forensick". The
recording, the tracks, the concept, the line up on the album and the art-
work.
WELL THE FULL ART WORK IS A GIFT FROM OUR BROTHERS IN SICKNESS FROM
SEMEFO GROUP (HI TERESA AND CHARLIE!!) THOSE GUYS PERFORM AND SHOOT SOME
PICS OF REAL GORE PHOTOS AND STUFF, A REAL SERIAL GALLERY OF GORE IN THE
"FORENSICK"!! THE LINE UP ITS THE SAME SINCE 93, ALSO THIS ALBUM WE HAD
RECORDED IT ON THE TEQUILA STUDIOS TOO AND WAS GIZMO REZA ON THE CONTROLS OF
THE SOUNDBOARD HERE ( ALSO DRUMMER FOR THE ACT MAKINA), THE WHOLE CONCEPT OF
THE ALBUM IS THE ITS THE DESCRPTION OF ALL THE WHOLE FORENSICK WORLD THAT
SHOW TO YOU DISGORGE SINCE THE BEGINING, IN EACH SONG WE TRY TO GIVE TO THE
LISTENER A DIFFERENT CONCEPT OF WHAT THE VIOLENT DEATH, SADISTIC FEELINGS
AND OBSCURE EMOTIONS IS, A TOTAL DENIGRATION OF THE HUMAN BODY ALL
TRANSLATED ON THE FORENSIC-PATHOLOGICAL LANGUAJE, WE ARE TRYING TO GIVE TO
THE LISTENER A MORE CLEAR IDEA AND A MORE UNDERSTANDABLE LYRICS ON THE NEXT
EFFORTS, BUT THE LYRICS ON "FORENSICK" TREATS ABOUT ALL THE DERANGED AND
GORY AS HELL EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS THAT OUR SICK PERVERTED MINDS CREATES...
8. Have you done any tours ? Please tell us more about them.
IN FACT WE HAVE FINNISHED ONE OF 3 WEEKS AT SIDE WITH KRABATHOR FROM
CZECH REP. HERE IN MEXICO LIKE A WEEK AGO, AND WE HAVE MADE A LOT OF TOURS
HERE IN MEXICO AND 2 IN CENTRAL AMERICA, BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT TOURS FOR US
WERE HERE IN MEXICO , THE TORMENTOUR 99 AT SIDE WITH : UNDER MOONLIGHT

10. The international Death Metal and Grind Core scene is stronger than
ever. What is your view on todays scene ? What is the biggest difference
between the so-called golden years of Death Metal ('90-'93) and today's
scene ?
WELL ITS A TOTAL WHOLE DIFFERENCE MAN, YOU KNOW IN THE BEGINING OF THE
90¨S THE WORLD GIVE TO US THE SOME OF THE MOST BRUTAL BANDS EVER IN DEATH
METAL... I REALLY MISS THOSE DAYS BUT ACTUALLY THERE ARE SOME MANY GREAT
BANDS OUT THERE THAT THE GLOBAL SCENE DESERVES TO BE LISTENED, BUT MAN TO BE
SINCERE WITH YOU I PREFER THE BANDS THAT THE 80´S AND BEGININGS OF THE 90´S
WERE, I AM NOT SAYING THAT THE ACTUAL GRIND-DEATH SCENE SUCKS BUT I REALLY
PREFER THOSE DAYS WERE THE DEATH METAL WAS THE ONLY RULE!!
