The Slam Times

1: How did you guys get together as a band? We got together in August 2012 when Mario (guitar) and David (former bass player) came up with the idea of this project, and since we knew each other for a while Paolo (vocals) and me (drums) completed the line up pretty fast! Then after David left the band for personal reasons we got our current bass player Damiano in mid 2013. 2: You released your debut album "Resurrection Denied" in 2014. How has the feedback been? When do you think something new could be out? Well, the responses from the fans as well as the insiders and the press were amazing as we never expected. We had to immediately reprint and re-release a lot of merch and cds as we sold out almost everything after the first leg of the Resurrection Denied Tour last year! We’re now in the writing process of the new album, don’t know it yet but let’s say a possible period to release a new album is mid 2016. In the meantime we have in program to release Resurrectio...

1: You replaced Tom in the band. Can you tell us more about why he decided to leave, how you got picked and how the fans have accepted you? Well, Tom has 2 little kids, he just wants to spend his time with his family. There's no bad blood between Tom and the rest of epi. Sometimes he shows up at our band practice to have a good time. He just couldn't make it anymore. Epicardiectomy chose me by chance... One day I was desperately looking for a death metal band and I asked epi on facebook if they knew of any death metal bands in Prague, they said no. Months later I got a message from Serge (guitarist) if I would be able to play with epi in Paderborn, Germany because Tom wasn't able to play and that's how my story began. Fans are getting used to me, I think they like my style and my gutturals so hopefully it will get even better, they seem to have a good time at our gigs . 2: You just came back from a Russian tour, how was that? Russia is fucking Incredible!!!! Wicke...
