Depredation was Founded by current guitarist Maurice and Rob (vocals). Since the end of 2002 Depredation operates with 5 bandmembers (again) after a lot of line-up changes. Depredation 2003 plays brutal death metal and is preparing a lot of new songs to play at live shows. Depredation is also writing new material to record another demo that is scheduled later this year! With the coming of the latest 2 band members solo's are put back in the songs and this gives the final (brutal) touch to the songs they are still playing and the new songs that they are now writing. The new material is more catchy and brutal than the older stuff and Depredation wants to let you hear the difference at all the coming live shows and gigs to come! Some influences of the band are: Morbid Angel/Cannibal Corpse, Incantation & Dying Fetus. The main purpose of the band is to play brutal death death metal for everybody who likes it (and those who hate it). CRUSHING THE WEAK IN 2003! interview with Maurice on 28-03-2003 Please give us a short introduction of yourself? My name is Maurice "Caveman" van Dijck. (Playing "Cousin-It" on stage) I drink beer, play guitar in Depredation and destroy anything that stands in my way. Any need to introduce your mates? Maybe unveil some personal secrets? My band-mates are: Rob "Bullfrog" van Roosmalen (He plays with Transformers). Dirk "Animal" Verspaget (Very proud at his butt-hair). Johan "Impetigo" v. Eyk (Just don't get him angry... stay away from his bass-gear). Patrick "Bulldozer" Vriens (Fuckin' "sweat-lover"). Why changed the name in the beginning? Other bands? Wrong name for brutal death? We changed our name in the beginning Ôcause another band already used it and had an album out! (the new name fits better anyway). Did you use the dictionairy to look for a suitable bandname? Rob uses a dictionary as standard gear....so I did not use that thing to find a good bandname!... I just heard that word in a movie and it sounded very cool to me. How many times a day do you curse? How many times I curse a day??? Goddamn what the fuck of an idiot question is that?.... like I count every fuckin' time I curse another asshole or bitch! Why does Rob have short hair? He could have long hair after the founding in 1997! Why Rob has short hair??? Why do you???... I don't know maybe he's just to lazy to get long hair. In your bio stands that you started out as brutal death, changed style after couple of years and play brutal death in 2002. So what other style did you play? In the beginning we had a lot of clean elements in our music... and we used to play a lot slower at that time. After some band-line up changes and getting more technique we started to play faster and more brutal. Feel the need to experiment in the new songs? To step out of the line of other brutal DM bands? In het new songs we experiment with more breaks and interesting/catchy lick's... we're not trying to break free from other styles... we just want to play what gives us the best feeling in playing death metal... I like speed but there must be some real cool breaks and mosh riff elements in the music... if your only playing on speed people can have troubles recognizing songs at live shows... I hate that when I'm looking at a band that's preforming live... so that's why we have the urge to do this up and down tempo's wtih catchy riffs. What are your fav bands and why? My favorite bands are: Morbid Angel / Immolation / Incantation / Dying Fetus & Cryptopsy Why they are my favorites?... all these bands together have the elements in their music that I like the most in death metal and that's why the new songs sound like a mixture of those bands... not because I'm writing with their music in my mind... it just seems to sound like stuff they do to!!! I had enough of inspiration to play solo's on the demo... I do not find them to difficult to play... but when I would start to play them live the brutal sound would have dissapeared 'cause we only used one guitarplayer at that time.... so we choose to record the songs just the same as we would play them live. What are the differences compared to the older recordings? The older recordings sound real bad in sound-quality and the music is too different compared with the latest style we are playing in. The new stuff is simply more death metal than the older stuff!!! |
