Hey Heiko! How are things going bro? What makes japanese cinema stuff so interesting to you guys? Seen any good snuff's recently? I've been burning my eyes with loads of local porn these days.
Hi there Jamie, things are going great ! About the japanese films, I tell you the whole story. I seen so much films from much genres, beside goregrind i was always a great horror movie fan, so i started first with mondofilms, faces of death and stuff like this after that i watched a lot of banned films in germany (simply everything sick is banned here) my favorites from that time were: Cannibal Ferox, I Spit on your grave, Cannibal Holocaust, Man Eater etc... But i didnt watched that movies for there genre, i just watched it because they were banned. But ok i was 15 years old or something so i really didnt have a plan with all that. After that i came into the next phase, i watched all about horror movies, yeah i didnt care for anything when it was horrorfilm i watched it, so i got more and more into the scene and to all the good directors and masters of that genre. For example Fulci, Argento, Lenzi, Romero, Cronnenberg, Cunningham etc... I studied that genre and i chose my favorite directors and favorite genres, i tried to see all genres: Giallo, Cannibalmovie Wave, Slashers, Old School Horrors, B-Movies, Splatter, Amateurgore, Animal Gone Wild Horror... After i seen all that i came to the japanese films and i seen something complette new, something you cant compare to other films, something so fucking sick that it first shocked and fascinated me. I seen the infamous Guinea Pig Series, that was the startbutton for my japanese movie love !!! By that time i meet my later best friend (the drawer of the original G.P. logo) and true sicko and he also showed me japanese films, he was also a big fan of it. From that time on, i still watched all horrorstuff but japanese flicks had a special place in my heart. I can recommend alot of stuff: Uzumaki, Tetsuo, Beautiful Girl Hunter, Pinochio 976, Monday, Guts of Virgin, Android of Notre Dame are just a few ones to name here. The point is that jap. Films are complettly different to the rest of the world, they are truly sick, always with new ideas, never remake crap or bringing you something you saw before even when you see a jap. Drama film, they also can have splatterscenes in it !! In the end i liked japanese fetish stuff films like bondage, sm, rope, rape, schoolgirl uniforms, hidden cam etc... I didnt seen snuffs but im always open for new stuff, about porn im not the big watcher, funny because GP is always known as a porngrind band !
Give us a little background on the band members and how you guys are formed.
It is Christopher - Guitars, Basti - Drums, Val - Bass and me - Vocals. We were all listeners of goregrind and similar music so we came up with that idea to just practice a little and check out how goregrind sounds but we ended up as Gonorrhea Pussy !
Can you tell us why you have chosen Gonorrhea Pussy as bands name? do you think it fits well to your musick style? How would you like to describe GP's musick?
Hm, good question ok first the Story about the name, i learned the job of screenprinting and i had always to do the nightshift !! It was so boring that i tried to write a concept, songtitles and a bandname just for the fun of it (that all was 5 years before GP came up). So one night i was tired and short before sleep in that shift and i thought what about the name Gonorrhea Pussy ? Yeah, i liked it and wrote it on a crappy paper and put it in my pocket, so thats were it ended but years later, i found that paper and when we decided to make the band i came up with that name from 5 years ago ! The music itself, our motto is "Fuck the Speed - Groove is all you need", we dont wanna do typical 0815 goregrind, mainly we like groove and then we combine it with catchy and rolling riffs in the typical GP Style with smashing breaks and we also have blasts but not much. It is a erotic mix of groove, blast, perverted headmoshing parts and cumfast blasts but always with passion !! n two words "Exquisite & Explicit Goregrind" that describes our music perfectly.
Obviously CBT, ROMPEPROP and Gut have been an inspiration, but what else do you listen to? What are some of the bands strongest musical influences?
Oh theres alot really !! Also not just goregrind, i can not speak for all, but i like grindcore, goregrind, deathgrind and some favorites of mine were old Regurgitate, DEAD, CBT, Pathologist, TDEBN, Carcass, Meatknife, Squash Bowels, Nasum, OLD Gut... It is to much to tell, to many bands to name it also changed over the years and nowdays there don’t comes out much good stuff in a year.
I heard about the lineup changes you have been through How did that happen and why? How does the new line up work and could you tell us about it?
I can not say anything about a lineup change, from beginning we are the same crew !! And we always will be bro.
Your themes always seems to focus on very real issues, bondage, rape, perversion, gore, splatter etc.. The images really convey this realistic approach well, why is it that this is the route you have taken and is it a feeling felt by the entire band? Any story behind the songs? And do you think it should be gore/porn to fit the musick better?
About our concept i would say it is all about japanese fetish stuff mainly like bondage, sm, rope, rape, schoolgirl uniforms, hidden cam, pee spys, caviar.. But it has some fine perversion directly out my mind in it also. Not everyone in the band is in that stuff, some songs have a person behind but it is not worth to talk about that. I like all that movies and fetish so i thought that would fit perfect into the music because you already have millions of splatttergorebands (with cover recycling pictures from the net) that sing about pathologic or mondo gore, you have brutal deathmetalbands with 10000 songs about Monsters, Demons, Apocalypitic Visions and crap like that but how much bands about japanese fetish you have ??? Haha. Personally i think it doesnt matter over what you sing it also can be the lovelife of siamese pandabears I dont care aslong as the music is good !! Also we dont take that serious, we are no black metallers, haha.
What's the most disgusting/perverse sexual act you have ever committed?
Haha, i can not tell you that here but when we see us on a stage i will tell you that eye to eye !! Yeah.
And what are your views on beastiality and necrophilia?
I had a time where i liked that alot, i got alot movies about that from the netherlands
Pitchshifting vocals is more of a grindcore thing to do than a brutal death metal thing. Many goregrind bands uses pitchshifter to get those totally disgusting sounds. What can you say about the bands that uses pitchshifted vocals, and denying it? And what can you say about these people saying that Pitchshifted vocals are gay? What gadgets do you use?
Yeah in deathmetal you have to be "true" so you dont need this, bands that use shifters and deny it is something i can not understand, don’t know man. It depends on your taste if you like the shifted vocals or not, some people like chart music vocies, some country singers and some need gory voices ! It is ok if someone dont like shifted vocals, I personally think that black metal vocals are really gay because the sound like castrated cats so it is ok when they say my vocals are gay. About my gadgets i tried alot stuff and after 3 years of playing goregrind i can tell that you need to become your own shifter to make the "gory" sounds and then you can look for a shifter, thats the way it really is. Because you can buy the technic that rompeprop uses but you never will make the same vocals.
It must be good to work with Last House on The Right who in my eyes are synonymous with putting out extremely underground releases. Sure LHOTR is a great label and Bill is a true noisy freak!!! What can you say about the split with Gut? Are you happy with the way it turned out? If not, what would you liked to have done differently? And what can you say about Marco/Rotten Roll Rex? This guy is fucking true supporter of the
Goregrind scene!
About the work with LHOTR i wont say much here, but it was not that cool so we came on Rotten Roll Rex, if anyone really deserves the synonym for cool sick stuff then it is marco from rotten roll, i love it that he just looks for gore and porngrind bands to bring out. Tell me some labels that just bring out goregrind and that also be succesful, youre
right there are not much so marco has my 100% support, also he is a typcial german - working day and night !! Hahaha.
On your ejaculations, what's your personal favorite? Why? And what can you say about the bands that you've worked with?
My favorite ejaculation is when we go on stage with a good public and grind the shit out of them, yeah that gives you power !! We worked with Necro Tampon and Gut. About Necro Tampon he is a really nice guy from uk
How do you find the gore grind scene in general these days? What bands are you into these days, and what bands are you looking to for future splits? I do vocals for the band Phlegm Thrower and Herpes. Maybe we could so some split in the future.. Hehe
Wow, the goregrind scene today, everyone has his own label, everyone also does a one man project, so the fans are more and more involved with the bands, but that dont means that all that one man projects sound cool !! It is still a small scene but has very nice and true fans. The undergound rules !! I like TDEBN as new band alot also the new full album of the german band "Gored" - Human (LHOTR) is very great !! I like to listen to good goregrind stuff but as i told you there dont comes out that much. We dont have plans for a split but we have much offers, next goal will be a full length.
The cover art was so fucking sick for "Yellow Tea For Free, what's your view on a lot of the computer generated sterile artwork of today? I am a big fan of hand - drawn artwork, to me that has always been a great part of the underground scene.
Cool that you liked the artwork, it was a complette concept for the song and the cover !! Also you wont find that picture in the internet, my guarantee !! yeah i think exactly like you, drawing by the members itself is something real original and cool (for example Haemorrhage, Impetigo) esp. when it is so sick !! Did you see all our UNCENSORED drawings on the t-shirts ? Also done by my friend. I hate the sterile computer artwork or dump cover recycling, a gore picture that was used 100 times followed by the also much times used hellraiser sample !! Wuahhh..
How's the split with "Degrading Acts of Sodomy coming along? And how's the new material sounding in comparison to the old stuff? Are you guys now in the process of mutilating new materials? When is the next GP album coming out?
About the that split forget it, it never will come out and when then not in this life !! Our next goal will be a full length, the material will have also some grinding parts but still with our grooves and tunes.
Do you have a great admiration to serial killers?
I had a "phase" were i liked true crime stuff, i read alot of books and biographys about serial killers, my favorite was always ed gein the later inspiration for Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Hm, i had a fat and fucking sick serial killer encyclopedia !!! That was nice, you just opened it and read a sick story with killing details but after a while it was not that interesting anymore. But i like those guys that read that stuff alot. I met a girl long ago, that liked true crime so much, I wondered that girls read this it was a funny episode.
Have you ever contemplated about how such serial killers feel about lyricist and gore enthusiast such as yourselves, using their twisted state of mind for lyrics and themes? Elaborate.
Dont know man, i guess they dont think about that because that people dont know that music. They also dont need that music they are already out of their minds, haha !!
If you are to be a serial killer, who would you be and what sorts your will your victims be?
I defenitly would be ed gein, live in the backwoods of texas and get every one i like !! Yeah. Your next...
And how would you like to die??
Real funny question, in an ocean of roses with the song. "Another one bites to dust" by Queen, hahah. Or maybe drunk in the Crystal Lake
Do the other members have any other projects beside Gonorrhea Pussy? Aside from playing in the band, what do you guys do during your spare time? Have you tried bestiallity for fucksake? Haha
Cant tell if the other members tried that, no one has a side project. In my spare time i like to read a lot, drink exquisite green tea from japan, going out in the woods, chill in nature, bbq sessions at night and my favorite hobby listening to creepy horror audio books on tape but not that kind when one guy reads a book in the microphone, no i mean real staged stories with more actors and sound fx ! Nothing better than a creeping, gory, chilling audiotape while i take a dump in the bath thats fucking fantastic !! My new pleasure now.
How do you get on with the rest of the bands in your area, you have some really fucking killer bands there!!! Do you keep in contact or have an interest in these bands or the local scene in general, as in do you try to take an active part in the scene etc.
We organized one show here in nuernberg otherwise we dont take an active part here, we just rehearse and thats it. We have a killer band here and one of my big favorites DEAD !!! Directly in Nuernberg, we are big friends of that guys. Thats one band directly of my town. We had contact with CBT, Mucupurulent, Plasma, Meatknife and much other bands.
Where to next with GP both musically and conceptually, are you happy to stay rooted in the RapeGoreGrind or is there any particular "place" you want to reach or any specific goals?
For the stuff that we make no, also bro "NEVER CHANGE A WINNING TEAM" that counts also for music and concept all the bands that change there style make a big mistake beacause the fans dont take them serious anymore for example Mucupurulent, Malignant Tumour, Sanitys Dawn – first all goregrind and then crap and crust !!!
Which CD's would you say is essential in every goregrind collection? What kinda shit has been in your cd players lately?
Ok essential is: Dead Infection: Chapter of Accidents, Carcass: First three Albums, Regurgitate: Early Stuff, Dead: You never know pleasure until youve tasted pain, Pathologist: Both Albums, Carne: The taste of latex, Rompeprop: Menstrual Stomphulk, LDOH: Everything !!, Meatknife: Brutalized Blowjob, Gut: Odour of Torture, Mucupurulent: Sicko Baby, Disgorge: Forensick. Lately i listen to to TDEBN, Gored, Waking the Cadaver and other shit...
Are there any gigs cumming up for you guys? How do people normally react on your live ejaculations? Any chance you could cum over to Philippines
People normally like our shit and start to wank in the public, haha. Next gig will be NRW Deathfest with Skinless, Goratory and other sickos. We dont have to many for the phillipines, if you pay it we CUM to you and play !!
How much do you know about the Bands in the Philippines Philippines
We had contact with one band called Biopsy Cunt or something ?? Don’t know otherwise we dont have contact over there.
Thanks for answering all of this bro.. Anything you'd like to add?
"Fuck the Speed - Groove is all you need". That was one of the coolest interviews i had, you studied our bandstory very well bro !!! Thx very much.
