Had a nice break over Christmas / New Year and I’m ready to start working on new music for a few projects this year! 2. What are you currently listening to that you would recommend? Recently, I have been non stop blasting the latest Cardiomyotomy album, which is such a killer slam release, also the new Hacksaw Tracheotomy is crazy hard, 357 homicide also did a feature on this release. 3. You released your new album a few months ago. What has the response been like and how do you feel about it now? The response we had for the latest Homicide album were insane! We had such good feedback from so many people and especially on the production, as we stepped things up a level for this record. I definitely feel this is our most solid album to date, although I will always love the previous songs we have released as they are all unique to us in one way or another. 4. You are quite unique in that you play live ...

1. How have you been?  Not good at all, it’s been a very shit year so far with multiple deaths of people I loved very much, but I’d rather not discuss it. I’m just glad to speak to an enjoyer of Pestilectomy as we love the chance to do this the most.  2. What are you currently listening to that you would recommend?  Theurgy, Smokedope2016, Final Resting Place, Xaviersobased, The Garden, Full Body 2, Thaiboy Digital, Vampirska, Këkht Aräkh, Hi-C, Brawl Between Enemies, Disentomb, Relics of Humanity. Most mentioned has dropped, or are about to drop, very good releases that I can’t hype enough, so much good music coming lately.  3. You recently released your new EP. How has the reception been and how do you feel about it now after some time?  It’s the best the band has done yet. 4. What are your musical plans for the future and when can we expect new Pestilectomy music?  No plans for the future as Pestilectomy is over. At least now we are. We may come back som...

1. How have you been? I’ve been good, though my life’s been pretty uneventful other than the slam shit. 2. What are you currently listening to that you would recommend? I’ve been spinning some classic slam albums like Rationing The Sacred Human Remains by Parasitic Ejaculation and Uterovaginal Insertions of Extirpated Anomalies by Cephalotripsy. A newer band I’ve been listening to is Cranioclast, an oldschool deathcore style project that my friend has. He also has a slam project called Nephrostomy that DT is actually getting a feature on! We recorded our feature a few days ago, actually.  3. You have a 4-way split coming out in January. Are there any plans for a solo EP/album? Yes actually, we’ve been waiting on our homie Alex from Inherited Suffering Records to finish mixing up our full length. We’ve worked so hard on this album and it actually took us a year. The dudes in DT are pretty eager to hear the finished product, including me. Don’t know when the initial release date will...

So I stayed away from social media for a while and tried to focus more on it, as well as on working on new music. 2. What are you currently listening to that you would recommend? I haven’t been following the scene much for the last couple of years, but from what I heard my favorites are the most recent releases from Despondency, Cerebral Effusion, Indecent Excision, Necrotic Infibulation, Regurgitated Entrails, Brutalism, Darkall Slaves, Final Resting Place, Submerged to name a few. 3. You have split with your vocalist Ondřej. Have you found a permanent replacement yet? We didnt really have much time to look for a permanent replacement yet since last year we were pretty busy with touring. Our good friends Clayton from Condemned and Kiriakos from Embryectomy helped us out with filling in on vocals, for which we are very grateful to them. Now that we are taking a bre...

1. How have you been?  We’ve all been great. Enjoying the holidays, and getting ready for this new year.  2. What are you currently listening to that you would recommend?  We’ve all been listening to some different things lately: Esophagus, Epicardiectomy, PeelingFlesh and Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship. Cephalotripsy’s new album was also a favorite.  3. What are your musical plans for the future?  Well the future for us contains writing and releasing more music. We love putting as much slam out as we can, for sure! Other than that, we love doing festivals, so we want to do as many of those as we can, as well as more out of town and out of state shows. But of course we like to stay local and work with the bands in the Seattle area to continue building the brutal scene in Washington. We also just played our first show with our new vocalist Travis, and we are looking forward to working on new material with him.  4. What is your favorite piece of art you have p...
