Crepitation

Interview : Mark Pearce - Crepitation

Hello, how are you? Thanks very much for taking your time out to answer my questions.

hi, im great thanks. no problem at all, thanks for the interest!

Crepitation are a UK based band formed in 2005. What does Crepitation mean who chose it and why did you pick it?

Crepitation is a medical name for a condition thats caused by broken bone fragments and other horrible stuff inside your body. i think it was the original guitarist and founding member dan that thought of the name

You have made a 3 track demo and a split with Kastrated and Ingested.

Are you planning to make a new CD?

well, we have had alot of line up changes the last couple of years so its been hard to get material written.we will make an album in the future but as for when I really dont know. we are writing material at the moment but we are all in other bands as well as crepitation so its difficult to find the time to get things done

I’ve noticed you’re not signed. Are you looking for a label at the moment?

What label would you go for and why?

well with no new material to release we're not in any rush to get signed, but i think lacerated enemy would be a good label to work with. they seem to give the bands they sign decent promotion and the shirts they print look great too.also brutal bands have some really great bands and look pretty professonal. matt our guitarist tells me we have had some interest from sevared records and speaking from experience they are great to work with.

You worked with UC for the production of «Crepitation» girlies.

How did you contact them?

ah yeah, we have known anna who runs UC for ages so when it came to girls shirts it was an obvious choice to work with her.

Who designed this shirt and how was this collaboration?

Can you describe it a little ?

everything came out exactly as planned.im really not sure who designed the shirts as it was a long time ago now, it may have been our now ex vocalist paul as he was doing most of that stuff at the time.

Have you got some girlies to sell by your means ?

How well did it sell?

no we have none left now, so obviously they sold really well haha. im sure we will get some new ones printed at some point though.

You have played recently at the Obscene Extreme fest.

Did you enjoy the festival and how did it come about?

yeah it was an awesome show and we had a really great time there. i think we just had an email from kurby the organiser. as its such a great fest we really couldnt say no!

Have you ever been to OEF as spectators?

ive never been as a spectator, no. but i have been before as i played there with my other band, amputated in 2004.that was amazing, i was wasted for the whole weekend and i got to see brodequin play haha. im not sure if the others have been before.

Paul left the band just after the OEF show...

What are the consequences of it?Is his departure interfered with the band?

yeah he only just quit. i dont know the exact reason, i think he just wants to concentrate on other things these days.it will affect the band a bit as he had a really distinctive voice and he really worked hard for us. it hasnt had any consequences yet though as it was very recent. we are going to carry on though and we have a couple of possibilities as a replacement but i wont say who just yet ;)

What song(s) do you listen to the most at the moment?

these days im listening to alot of crust punk and heavy metal bands like anti-cimex, black uniforms, framtid, cloven hoof,w.a.s.p,saxon etc. there arent many death metal bands that do it for me these days but obviously i still love the classics!i know matt is really into technical death metal and joe recently went to see suicidal tendancies and really loved it so they obviously do it for him haha.

The interview is nearly finished. Would you like to say anything else?

thanks for the interview and keep an eye out for upcoming crepitation shows! 666

Thanks a lot for this interview!

Stay brutal
