I just want to thank you personally for bringing "Whistling" back into Grindcore. It was so touching to hear the outro on your CD. What inspired you to do that?
Actually, that's Billy Joel. We had our people contact his people because our producer, Ross Robinson, felt that we needed to 'balance' out our stale mallcore with a sincere, heart warming outro. Billy came down to Ross's with a plate of Brie and a bottle of Merlot wearing his Sunday's best and listened to our tracks a few times while performing Tai Chi and really blew us away with this soulful melody that Ross was able to bring out of him by humming on his pussynuts.

What's up with that hidden track of that guy mumbling about stabbing his hemorrhoids? Was he looking for a fight?
That guy is totally insane. He left that message on my buddies machine after smoking Humboldt chronic for 48 hours straight. He had an epiphany during his 60th consecutive bong load and realized that the music that my buddy and I listened to was actually created to cause the listener to erupt into a murder -suicide frenzy. He felt that the only antidote was to listen to copious amounts of The Specials while watching surf videos and jacking off to Reef advertisements. My buddy and I eventually found him later that night at a dive bar wearing a Tutu and skanking on a table before a group of "botanists". Needless to say, we cleaned his clock and stole his Tutu. I hear that guy changed his name to Eminem and made few mil off exploiting his homo erotic tirades before masses of pimply faced wiggers and mallrats.

Why didn't you have James Murphy produce your record? Does he enjoy cussing?
James Murphy sucks, period. He has nowhere near the vision of Ross Robinson, or as we like to refer to him, "Double Rock Ross." I hear James has a new album coming out called "Never Mind The Catshit, I lost Your Master DAT's" that he's recording with Scott Burns at Morrisound. It's sure to appeal to all the losers out there that think In Flames is great when they actually suck turds out of each others wannabe rockstar butts.

What's up with the Painting of the happy chick with her tit hanging out on the cover? Do you realize that your cd may not be able to be sold in Target or Kmart stores because of this?
Dude, that's my Grandma. Actually we soundscanned 25,000 units at a single Wal-Mart in Utah with our censored version with an album cover that is very reminiscent of the Dyanetics book cover. Stupid fucking Mormons. Thanks for the Ferrari assholes!

Do you find Dead things particularly funny? I find mild amusement in it myself.
As I child, I would often attempt to revive my dead pets by sticking them in the microwave. Although this never worked, I nearly pissed myself laughing at the expression on my Mom's face when she would open the nuker door after one of my reanimator attempts.

When was the last time you saw something dead? Did you touch it?
Last night when I was fucking your Grandma, she's got a great rack.

Its no secret that you used to rock with the Agents Of Satan. What ever became of that scenario? Does DBE rock
harder?
Actually, it is a secret. Let's keep it that way. I'm trying to get un-86'd from 924 Gilman St. and if these rumors persist, the only venues that I will be able to play will be totally untrendy and legit forums for real musicians, which I clearly am not. DBE is rock-hard, baby!

Do you enjoy the Power of Violence?
Not at all. I enjoy long walks on the beach, warm milk on a cold night, cuddling by the fire, home-cooked tofu, and the Lifetime Cable Network.

DBE's malt liquor of choice?
Steel Reserve with some Grape Cool Aid mixer. Justin prefers Mickey's 'cos he's a Cracker-ass-Cracker.

Do you have to drink to have a good time because I do! Chats wrong with me?
Well I wouldn't be an alcoholic if I was having a bad time drinking, now would I? You live in O.C., what could possibly be wrong in your life? You got young women parading around in assfloss and sunshine 360 days a year. You obviously need to get out more, Ace.

You were part of the fantastic L.A. Deathfest "November To Dismember". How would you say it went? Did you enjoy playing?
Well, I'm kinda biased against those Fests 'cos I usually have to sit at the Necropolis table and barter with metal nerds that are hunting desperately for the limited-edition-digi-pack-with-bonus-tracks of their favorite wack-as-fuck cheese-metal-band. I'd say I had an OK time at the fest thanks mostly to Dave Hogarth from Benumb flowing me very large cups of Jack Daniel's, thanks Dave! We played at the fest?! Where the fuck was I?

How do you like working for Necropolis? Who's idea was it to branch off into DeathVomit records? How's that going?
Work, is work, holmes. Sometimes its cool most of the time it sucks, especially when the first of the month roles around....oh, and when I tell my parents that I plan on wasting my college degree promoting the crap that they so enjoyed hearing blast out of room as a kid, that always makes me feel great. Death Vomit was my idea! MINE! You hear that, Matt?! MINE! Just kidding. Matt 'I'm Hungry' Harvey from Exhumed and I figured it would be a good idea to put a roster of our friends bands together on a sub-label of Necropolis that focused on gnarly death metal and grind. Then we signed Impaled and have been on the verge of bankruptcy ever since. Our label is kicking major ass according to the metal scribes and we will soon be bigger than Earache in the death metal world, especially if Phobia signs on the
line.

Who's the most famous person you've ever met?
James Hetfield. I shook his hand at Incredibly Strange Wrestling only to find out that he was only there to check out
HeWhoCannotBeNamed's wiener. Everything Metallica did after 'And Justice..' sucks wang.

What do you think of the Bay area scene these days? There seems to be a lot of killer bands out there now as
compared to around five years ago. And they all seem to be different as well. There's not just like 15 power violence bands and two grind core bands. It seems pretty diverse now.
Well those 15 power violence bands and 2 grind bands were all RWC Dankdaddies band-whoring around in each others projects. All the kids that used to come to our shows have now started their own bands and have proceeded to ignore that we ever existed. Oh well, we suck, but at least our riffs are original and not stolen off of old Neurosis and Candlemass albums.

What are you favorite bands coming out of the bay area right now? Any prospects?
Vulgar Pigeons, Blessing The Hogs, Asunder, Antagony, and Extreme Elvis. I'd sign Extreme Elvis but I'm afraid that he'll fling dookie on me in the process.

Do you think METAL is again on the rise?
When the fuck are people going to realize that metal never went anywhere. Never. Look at Hip-Hop. They have their own Billboard chart! Metal has never had its own Billboard chart and never will. Any mother fucker can record a Hip-Hop album and go gold if they advertise on a few bus stop benches. Metal will never be that big. Wanna know why? 'Cos this country is so afraid of giving angry white guys any sort of real power, except for goofy wrestlers in spandex. It's another backlashing of the whole EO thing. At least, that's what this weirdo 800 line customer of ours from Alabama told me after I explained to him that Graveland will not be joining the next Family Values tour.

You guys like the weed huh?
No joke. I don't toke. The rest of the band has a real hankering for the shit though, and it shows. We haven't recorded any new material since '89. Proof that maybe weed isn't the musical motivator that everyone has made it out to be.

What are the future plans for DBE?
Smoke weed and pretend that we're a band, I suppose. Maybe put out a live album mastered by Bob Rock. Seriously though, we are writing a new album (have been for 2 years now!) and plan to record in late Spring for a late summer release and an early fall tour with Laughing Dog, the best kept grind secret from New Mexico.
