Jig-Ai Interview

1.Can you give us an update on what has been going on with the band since the recording and release of the new album?
Just after the release of ‘Rising Sun Carnage’ album we have spent some time outside of Europe playing in Japan and Australia.

2.Recently you have released a new album, how would you describe the musical sound that is presented on the recording and also how does it differ from the stuff you have released in the past?

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the newer music?
?:)

4.I know that the band name comes from a Japanese woman suicide ritual, what was the decision behind using it as a band name and also how does it fit in with your musical style?
It fits fine.

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played over the years and also how would you describe your stage performance?
I can speak just for myself man, I’m with the band for the fourth year now and there were many highlights. Obscene Extreme world tour for example, but I’m  enjoying every single show on 100%.

6.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?
I’m personally looking forward to upcoming Neurotic Deathfest.

7.The new album was released on Bizarre Leprous Production, can you tell us a little bit more about this label?
The relationship between band and Roman from BLP works on a friendly basis, and  gives us what we need for functioning the band.


8.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of death metal and grindcore?,
Good.

9.What is going on with some of the other musical projects or bands these days that some of the band members are a part of?
Buraak’s Destructive Explosion of Anal Garland just released a badass album and he is finishing his concerts with Brutally Deceased which he is about to leave because of his lack of time. He needs more time for Jerking of to porn and to care of his garden on the country side. Brain has at the moment no other musical projects as far as I’m concerned and same goes for me.

10.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
I think we want to do more grindcore, full of blastbeats and energetic stage presence.

11.What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your newer music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
Our ears are open wide when it comes to our personal tastes, but when it goes to Jig-Ai, we all know what we should do.

When it comes to my personal taste I’m lately listening to Coroner, Neurosis, Dead Infection, Blondie...you can check out my last.fm profile Kaspy_drummer, it’s all there.

12.What are some of your non musical interests?

13.Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
Thank you.
