GOREFEST Guitarist Says New Album Is 'A Crushing, Massive, Bloody Affair'

Guitarist Frank Harthoorn of the reactivated Dutch metallers GOREFEST has issued the following update:

"Crushing. That's what I'd call it. Our new album, that is. It's a crushing, massive, bloody affair. Now I know that every band says this stuff about their latest music, and I also know every band says that they know every band says this stuff, but boy, this sure is the heaviest shit we've ever done!

"Yes, we've finished recording 11 new songs, and it feels great to finally have some new music to put out there. We've never been a band that is continually writing new songs - though riffs do pop up all the time — and these days, with the steady jobs and all, it's even harder to get your head round to it, so it's always a delight when there's new material to play around with.

"So this new one, I'm telling ya, it's a scorcher. A mammoth. A real big boy. Eddie's [Warby] pounding, kicking and thrashing away something fierce, Mr. B's [Boudewijn Vincent Bonebakker] shredding like he's got murder or something else ghastly on his mind, JC's [Jan Chris de Koeyer] roaring like a big, angry, roaring thing, and I'm somewhere in there as well, doing, oh, all kinds of stuff! So, it all turned out rather nicely, and it's not even mixed yet. Tue'll [Tue Madsen; THE HAUNTED, HALFORD, MNEMIC, ABORTED] be doing that in the coming weeks, and I'm wetting myself at the very thought of finally stuffing that big fat thing where it belongs — in my fucking stereo! Come final mix time, there'll be some frenzied couch-thrashing and windmilling going around at my place, that's for sure — hell, I might even lose some weight!"

GOREFEST's latest CD, "La Muerte", was released in October 2005 via Nuclear Blast Records.
