A few questions - interview with death metal band from Poland - MANGLED RECREMENT.
Answered Lucas (guitars) and Ziemowit (bass), thank you!
Ave, can you introduce your band to our readers? – When was it founded and what style of music do you play etc.?
Hey, we are Mangled Recrement, founded in 2024 by Lucas and Trumna (guitarist and drummer) to play some rotten, raw death metal in Lublin's basements. Inspired by the recent spews of the death metal underground and oldschool classics, we present our vision of this versatile genre combining tangled riffing with straightforward raw sound.
Where and under what conditions were you recording the new album? Who was in charge of sound, production and mastering?
We have only recorded a demo record for now, which was done all by ourselves. The drums were recorded by the drummer at his place, and we finished the rest in our rehersal space to capture the basement reeking raw sound that we have written the songs in. Ziemowit (our bassist) has some experience in recording and has also helped us by mixing the record.
How many copies were released and which medium was used for this new edition (CD, digital, vinyl, cassette)?
For now, the demo is released by Caligari records on the tape format, limited to 150 copies, with the label fitting our sound and image very well.
We are looking forward to release it on CD at some point in the future.
Who is the author of the lyrics and how were they created and about what do the lyrics deal with?
I (Lucas) have written all the lyrics, and they are honestly mostly coming from my imagination. I come up with them once the song vibe is estabilished, basing them on the title. My imagination is fueled by some horror movies and works of other classic death metal and goregrind bands.
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?
The logo and the artwork was done by the mighty Marc Necrohelm. We felt like his style would fit our raw sound, and it was the best choice we could make. We are really happy with how he did it, and had no doubts he would do a great job.
We feel like social networks are quite important to reach the right audience. We dont feel like we need to stuff our music in everyone faces. Releasing the record in the right labels, and keeping the social accounts active to inform the fans about live shows and new releases is all that we use those outputs for.
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?
As I have mentioned before, we have picked Caligari records, and we are really happy they have agreed to release our music. We have been following the label for some time and knew that our sound will fit it very well. We are very satisfied with how everything is going so far, with Caligari records taking care of the promotion and physical release very smoothly and effectively.
Which bands do you idolise and where do you get your inspiration?
I (Lucas) have been into the new underground scene for some time, taking my inspirations from the contemporary takes on oldschool death metal. Bands like Morbific, Torture Rack, Undergang or Malognant Altar infulenced our music and most importantly shown that there is still a lot to explore in this genre, while keeping it raw and extreme. I have also took a lot of inspiration from goregrind and gore-death metal bands like Carcass, General Surgery or Dead Infection, but you can hear more of that in our band Leucotome.
Ziemowit: There are tons of inspirations ranging from progressive rock to extreme metal. Definitely King Crimson, Jimmy Johnson's work with Allan Holdsworth, Alex Webster's ideas in both Cannibal Corpse and Blotted Science, Colin Marston's escapades in Dysrhythmia and early Indricothere, and many more. Sometimes the ideas for lines are purely mathematical, based on harmony, which I'm rather fond of exploring
Did you send your record to some Labels - which are the labels? How was the response?
We have tried reaching out to a couple of labels that we felt like would fit our sound. Some of them are Extremely Rotten Productions, Me saco un ojo or Headsplit records.
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?
With Mangled Recrement we have only played one show in our hometown, which went really well and we are looking forward to presenting our music more often for larger audiences in the future.
What about your plans for the future? What do you want to achieve with the band?
As a band we are definitely aiming to play more gigs, and release a LP soon, defining our sound even clearer. We hope that will give us opportunities to play abroad and grow a bigger audience to play for.
