Black Plague/ Malignant Artist Sewer Goddess Interview is up
1.
For those not in the know give us a history of Sewer Goddess.
The project came into
existence in 2006 with our first demo “Dirt Behind The Daydream”.
The title was taken from a document written by Trev Ward of the Grey
Wolves. The band started with a pile of junk equipment and a Tascam
4-track.
2.
Your working with Black Plague/ Malignant for an amazing live release
that has covers several yrs of the band. The tracks are so powerful I
can see why you wanted them released. Was it always planned to be a
live album?
Thank
you for your kind words regarding “Disciples Of Shit”. Initially,
a live album was not planned. In 2009, I began collecting our
recordings as a way for us to go back and ingest what we had done.
Black Plagve was our first choice to release the album.
3.Sewer
Goddess is a mix of Death industrial, Black metal and Doom to my
ears. Do you have Industrial and Metal fans or is it more just the
extreme Industrial / Noise fans that seem to follow the band?
Hard
to say who would appreciate what we do. We make horrible music and
some people can identify with that. Whether they are of a industrial
or metal backround is irrelevant, we make extreme music and that’s
it.
4.
You seem to have just have Social media taking care of your web
presence.. Do you think bands in 2011 really don't need a proper site
is ( Myspace, Facebook, Soundcloud etc) the best way to present indie
artists today?
If
it makes it easier for anyone to hear our music then we fully support
it. Can’t speak on behalf of other bands/projects, but we have
found current media sites to be very beneficial.
5.
I find it a bit of difference with female members I've been in few
with female members to you feel you always have to prove yourself
reguardless of success level you achieve or does this mean nothing to
Sewer goddess?
The
need to constantly prove oneself is a sign of an inflated ego. Which
is unbecoming regardless of gender.
6.
What is the goal of Sewer Goddess .. Musical, Social, Theme and Ideal
wise??
Our
main goal is to release what we consider quality material. Themes
vary on each release, but all have their own consistency.
7.
How does Earlier vs Current material differ from Sewer Goddess?
Where do you see future releases heading?
Our
recording process has been the biggest change. Josh Langberg joined
the band in 09’. He is a professional sound engineer and has taken
on most of this responsibility. I see our future releases sounding
heavier than ever.
8.
Your releases seem to have been more limited media CDR's Tapes. You
have 2 Cds one live now on Black Plague... If you could work with any
other label for a major or vinyl release who would it be and why? Or
are you happy with progression of the band As is?
Sewer
Goddess has released a one-sided s/t 12’ lp and a 7’ record
“Verdigris”, both put out by a very small label named baseborn. A
split 10’ is due out soon on Apop Records. http://apoprecords.com
We
are content with where we are.
9.
Whats your thoughts being in the trenches of the indie scene
recording writing and touring.. Of the Digital age ( Social Media,
Digital media, Internet Radio and Webzines) do you miss the push of
Physical releases, Print media, College Radio etc.. Or is this
just the new underground and better for all in it?
I
don’t pay attention to the indie scene, so I really don’t have
any thoughts on what they are doing. I personally enjoy the
fetishistic value of owning a collection.
10.
If Sewer Goddess could collab with any project whom would it be and
why?
Sewer
Goddess recently finished collaborating on track with John Gelso of
Profanatica, which will be released as a split 7’ with his other
band The Royal Arch Blaspheme. Other than that we have nothing
planned.
11.
Being from New England you are part of a very vibrant Industrial/
Noise scene do you feel that has help you get the exposure out to the
world?. I lived in Rhode Island for yrs and I feel it help my
projects ...
RRRecords
being local was one of our early introductions to industrial/noise.
We do indeed have a very rich environment.
12.
Will there ever be a Dvd collection for Sewer Goddess as I feel you
would add amazing visuals to your musical madness.
I
do not see a Sewer Goddess dvd release happening anytime soon, but
it’s hard to say what the future holds.

Thank you for the time and please any closing thought here...
