01. HOW ALL STARTED?

Post mortal actually came about unexpectedly. it started with tim, brian, jake and i as a a band with jake and brian doing the vocals. tim left for awhile for his own reasons, but left on terms with the rest of the band, which brings us back to him being in the band again. we were trying out vocalists to take some of the load off of the guitars, since post mortal is a rather technical job for them already. ed played with jake and i many years before and he came up to a practice to check us out. ended up liking it so much that he decided to try out for us and we gladly welcomed him back with open arms.

02.  WHAT IS THE FEELING FOR THE CHOICE OF NAME POST MORTAL POSSESSION?

 

We decided on the name post mortal possession through ed`s suggestion. we were actually having a hard time deciding as a whole on any one name. post mortal possession just stuck out. ed`s original idea was post mortem possession, but we felt that mortal instead of mortem was a little more catering to what we were trying to embody. we feel that the name is catchy yet lets the listener know exactly what they are getting them self into before they even listen to it.

03. HOW`S THE ACTUAL LINE UP?

 

The actual line up is great! it is exactly the same line up as listed in the cd and on our web page. we all get along and respect each other. everybody`s opinion is acknowledged and accounted for. if someone doesn`t like a part, we change it.

04. COMMENT ABOUT YOUR INFLUENCES?

 

Our influences are spread out among the musical spectrum. we all grew up with slayer, cannibal corpse, pantera, sepultura, fear factory, and we also have influences that differ from each other like folk, bluegrass, classical, electronic, progressive, acoustic and jazz.

05. WHAT’S THE MESSAGE BEHIND YOUR LYRICS?

I always try to compare death metal to a horror movie. we are no different. we touch base on real life events, such as historical wars, events, serial killers etc. we have some fictional horror movie style writing and our over all message is to be aggressive, technical and show that death metal CAN be easy on the ears ha ha.

06. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF RELIGIONS?

We don`t think much of religion in any facet. we do mention lucifer and satan, but again, we are trying to create a scary environment and a horror style atmosphere. no members of the band hold any strong opinion over religion. it is what it is.

07. HOW MANY CD`S HAVE YOU RELEASED? 

 

Only a couple hundred cds have been pressed so far. the ep has only been out since november of 2014. we are not signed yet, and we are so new that we have no need to press more than a hundred at a time.

08. TELL US MORE ABOUT RELEASE EP: POSSESSING ENTITY?

 

The ep was pretty much us wanting to release something for the fans to have but we didnt want to go all out for our first release. we have 9 finished songs, and are working on three or four more at the moment. we take our time, and we feel confident that the ep is good enough to keep the fan satisfied for the time being until we release more material. 

09. DID YOU HAVE PLAYED MANY GIGS?

 

We have not played that many gigs. last year we played twenty and this year so far we have around twelve. we are starting to branch out of state but we are older, some of us have kids and are married or about to be. we all have daytime jobs and have responsibility at the moment so its not as easy for us to just drop everything at this time and start touring everywhere. but in due time.....

10. WHAT MERCHANDISE DO YOU STILL HAVE AVAILABLE?

 

We have a plain black shirt with just the logo on it, and then we also have a black shirt with the logo and the ep cover on it. we are currently working on a long sleeve t shirt and in the future will have hoodies, hats, patches etc.

11. HOW`S U.S UNDERGROUND SCENE?

 

The u.s. underground metal scene is pretty diverse. ive been told that the eurpoe scene is much better than the u.s. scene.

12. WHAT´S THE DEATH METAL FOR YOU? 

Whats death metal to me? well, being the drummer in this band, its challenging. its fun. its bringing the best musicianship out of me. its pushing the envelope and pushing the limits of musical artistry. its badass and my favorite music hands down!!!!

 

13. WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR THE POST MORTAL POSSESSION BAND?

Hopefully many things!!! we are treating this band as a business and not just a hobby. this is what we want to do for a living and we know how much work its going to take. we are ready and cant wait to see the world doing it!!!

14.  THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT. ANY LAST COMMENTS?

We just want to say thank you for the oppurtunity to speak on behalf of post mortal possession.
