Recenze/review - CANNIBAL ACCIDENT - Disgust (2025):
Ave CANNIBAL ACCIDENT! I couldn't find any interview with you in Czech anywhere. So I'll ask you first to introduce the band to the readers who don't know you yet. You can start from the beginning and take us through the whole bloody history of CANNIBAL ACCIDENT.
Kurwa Doktor:
In the beginning of 2007 the former drummer Lenets and guitarist Kolkka were boozing in their hometown Turku and they ended up in a local rock club and the roots of Cannibal Accident was planted. Fueled by this intoxicated ambition Cannibal Accident was founded to bring you oldschool grindcore with quality mosh parts.
Cannibal Accident has shared the stage and toured with f.ex. the following awesome entities: Gutalax, Cannabis Corpse, Rotting Christ, Misery Index, Exhumed, Cumbeast, Torture Killer, Inferia, Lubricant, Solothus, Convulse, Galvanizer and many others.
The band has played a short East European tour in the past and some Baltic shows recently. Also festivals like Tuska, Nummirock, Helsinki Death Fest, Rites Of North to name a few.
So far the band has released five full length albums and several EP's.
Current line-up:
Kolkka - guitar
Wilkman - drums
Heikki Raisio - brutal grunts
Kurwa Doktor - supersonic sodomy
Jondom - bass & backing screams
This year you released the still fresh new album "Disgust". Again it is dark, gritty and honest death grindcore metal. Did you approach the recording differently than last time or did you go with tried and tested methods?
Kolkka: This time our recording process was a bit different, f.ex. I recorded all guitar parts at home and they were the re-amped at the studio – where we also recorded all vocals. For me, this was a pleasant recording process without the normal „pressure“ of working in studio environment. Drums were also recorded at a friend's studio in a different place.
I find the new record an order of magnitude more complicated, maybe less accessible at first, more raw, but at the same time incredibly dark and evil. Was that the intention? How was the album actually made and how did you compose the music?
Kolkka: I wanted the guitar and bass parts differ from each other more than ever before which resulted hopefully in a kind of evil mixture of musicality, heh. There are some of dissonant chords used here and there which is a new aspect in the CA songs. Me and the bassist Jondom compose most of our songs nowadays, but also drummer Wilkman had some of his morbid ideas blended in which also expanded the whole sound picture. So the final result was a varied mutual combination of individual efforts.
I have "Disgust" in my MP3 player and I have to say that I am literally consumed by it. It's not just the great ideas, but the sound, which is in a word devastating. For example, I'm sitting on the tram and suddenly I find myself tapping my foot. I feel like partying. If I weren't a gentleman of my years, I'd probably do it. Where did you record the album and who is the mastering engineer?
Kurwa: Great! Just do the tapping, or fapping, whatever you feel like if you enjoy the music and the moment! :)
Kolkka: The vocals were recorded at Noise For Fiction studios by Mr. Joona Lukala who also mixed and mastered the whole album. We took the sound files of our previous recordings (guitar, bass, drums) to him and he performed some insanely good sound wizardry as you can hear when listening to Disgust.
Who wrote the lyrics on "Disgust"? And what are they about? Where do you get inspiration for the themes?
Kurwa: Mostly I did, but also Kolkka and Jondom contributed in some songs (I Want To Pay..., Inhumanely... and Scorched..., Flesh... at least) and the guest vocalists wrote the lyrics for their songs. More than the gore fantasies and detailed descriptions of imagined brutality and perversions in our previous albums, the lyrics of the new album are leaning more and more towards the everyday madness, real life horrors and disgust towards the majority of humanity. We are doomed to extinction, addicted to useless dispensable products and pleasures and brainwashed by the most imbecile ideas and ideals - yet still we don't give a fuck.
Who signed the cover of "Disgust"? I like his work a lot. How did you choose the theme for the cover?
Kurwa: Maxime Taccardi, great artist from France (lives in the USA now). Some of the red you see on the cover is his own blood. We liked his style and asked if we could you use his talent. And with a convenient amount of euros this happened.
If we go back to the beginning... What was the first impulse to put the band together? And why death/grindcore metal? It's not exactly a style that would get you a lot of "fame".
Kurwa: See the first answer mostly. I think, on top of that this is the kind old school shit we have grown up with, so it's quite natural to follow your roots, so to speak. With a sick modern twist sometimes, of course, to keep it more interesting!
You come from Turku, Finland and play extreme death grindcore metal. Our readers would be interested to know how the death metal scene works in Turku? To tell you the truth, I've been hearing only great bands from you lately (CONCRETE ICON are excellent!). Does that mean that the scene is very strong in your country at the moment? What about the gigs, how many people come?
Kurwa: Yes we are strongly connected to underground scene in our hometown as well as in some other Finnish towns. Maybe the best and wellknown death metal band from Turku is definitely Torture Killer, the masters of groovy death metal. Also the slam masters of Cumbeast have gained quite a lot of following in the Western European area as well. Some other great death metal (related) bands are Sepulchral Curse and Guts, for example. Our local shows gather somewhere between 80-150 people, depending on situation and lineup.
From your music you can feel that you are influenced by the Finnish death/grindcore metal school as well as old European bands. How are you as fans? Do you prefer the original death metal of the 90s or do you draw inspiration from new records as well? If so, I would be interested to know which bands had/have the biggest influence on CANNIBAL ACCIDENT.
Kurwa: Personally I always prefer the old school originators to newcomers, even if the new bands sound as old school as possible. However, I still like a lot of newer „old sounding“ bands as well. Personal all-time favorites in death/grind scene: Bolt Thrower, Deicide, Morbid Angel, Carcass, most Swedish pioneering bands, Asphyx, Pestilence with van Drunen on vocals, Macabre, Brutal Truth, Benediction, Repulsion, some Napalm Death, Pungent Stench etc. Etc. However, I have never been VERY fond of Finnish old school death metal, although I respect their pioneering work 100% as well. Maybe it's too twisted for my straight-forward brain...? Xysma's First & Magical is fucking killer though, yet it's not much death/grind anymore! In general,CA was inspired in the beginning mostly by old Napalm Death, old Carcass, Repulsion, S.O.D. and endless consumption of alcohol products.
What about you and concerts in general? Are you a band that goes to as many shows as possible or do you pick and choose a lot? Do you have a dream, like a band you'd like to tour with or a festival or city you'd like to perform in?
Kurwa: We do not play „anytime everywhere“ cos as an underground band consisting of 5 middle-aged bastards it's not very useful to play f.ex. during week in Finland unless it's very special occasion. Also even we have some (small, but still) standards in regards of the deals we will accept for shows. We are not picky but we are not desperate for shows either. For festivals, Obscene Extreme would be great to experience in the band's point of view, but as they have never even replied to our requests during the years, it seems pretty frustrating, haha! :) As we have already shared the stage with Gutalax, Frederik and Dingo, there are no dreams left!
I'm going to go listen to your new record "Disgust" again. I have to say that for me personally it is basically a perfect death grind metal masterpiece. A total inferno. I wish the record to do well, to reach as many fans as possible. It deserves it. I wish you all the best in your personal life. Good luck and the last words are yours. If you have something to say to fans, labels, promoters, you have space. Thank you for the interview and I'm already looking forward to seeing you live sometime!
Kurwa: Thank you for support! For some reason we missed the Czechia towns completely when we toured in Poland, Slovakia etc. so that needs to get fixed sooner or later!
