1: Hello Spoiled. Anything new from the band?
Hi guys, we do have a lots of news but I think that the most important is that we’re working on our new album (which is actually almost finished).
2: Tell us the band history and current members?
The band was born in early 2017 from an insane idea of our drummer Zibbo. The band took the first steps in Bologna. During the Bologna-based era we released our first EP which was very raw (you can find it somewhere on the net, maybe on YouTube, just search it…). Since the recording of the EP our path was clear, we made it faster and we extremized it on the first official release “Anti Human Machine Gun” (aka AHMG EP). In early 2021 the former members of the band moved to Rome and with some new band members and a lot of brand new brutality we released AHMG EP. Nowadays the line up is quite the same…but we have very important news ‘bout that…
3: Why did you choose to play thrashcore and who influenced you musically?
We always loved bands such as: S.O.D., M.O.D., Suicidal Tendencies, Municipal Waste and Slayer (and many many more) so we decide to mix up our influences in a brand new concept of thrash core (or crossover thrash if you are born before 1980…). What you see is what you get: fast music, no bullshits and a strong punk hardcore attitude.
4: Explain something about your album “Anti Human Machine Gun” - matters related to composing works, recording, production etc?
The AHMG EP contains some of the songs from the Spoiled EP. We made them faster and louder. Together with the old tracks the EP features some new songs such as: “Detonation”, “Buried To Death”, “Marchin’ Band” and many more. It was very simple to write new songs with the new band members (we share the same motivations and passion). The EP was recorded in our headquarter (Timba music school) and it was mixed, edited and mastered at Cut Fire Studios (owned by our friend Alberto). The EP was released as a co-production between different labels.
5: How was the responses and feedback you got for the album CDs and Tapes? Is it also available on vinyls?
We had a good feedback especially from the lovers of extreme music. We decided to release the EP only on tape and CD but we’re looking for a label crazy enough to repress AHMG on vinyl…
6: What are the lyrics about in that album?
We sing about the things we see everyday, you have lyrics about social issues such us those based on aspects of our lives. Surely we’re are fans of post-apocalyptic movies and book and in the lyrics of “Skynet” this love can be found…
7: Tell us your live shows - local gigs and tours if any?
Nowadays we’re completely involved in finishing the new record, I think that we’re going to play some gigs this summer in our city (Rome). As soon as the new record will be set and ready we’re going to play elsewhere…so be careful, we’re comin’ to your town!!!!!
8: What would be your next releases?
We think that we’re going to release the new album on winter 2023/2024.
9: Tell a little bit about the thrash/punk scene in Rome, Italy?
I don’t think that we can talk about an “Italian thrash core scene”, surely there are some good bands but they are very few, so instead of being part of a non-existing-scene we (and the bands like us) are usually considered punk hardcore bands and we used to play in that scene.
10: Thank you. Say anything to close this interview?
Thank you for this interview, thank you to help keeping this crazy little thing called thrash core alive…and to the others…GO FAST OR GO HOME!!!!
