MALEVOLENT CREATION: New Video Interview With GUS RIOS
March 12, 2012Zeus-Sasho Borisovski of the "Hard & Heavy" TV show conducted an interview with drummer Gus Rios of Florida death metal veterans MALEVOLENT CREATION when the band played at MKC in Skopje, Macedonia on February 29 with KRISIUN and VITAL REMAINS. You can now watch the chat below.
When asked how he would describe touring conditions in Europe compared to those in the U.S., Rios told MetalSerbia.com, "We have officially stopped touring the U.S. We hate it. We will only tour Europe, South America — basically, anywhere but the U.S. U.S. sucks. Not the country, but the conditions of touring in the U.S. are nowhere near as good as the conditions in Europe. Less fans, less support, clubs are not great. I imagine SLAYER tours [in the U.S.] are great, because they're playing big places and they're staying in nice hotels, etc., but death metal in the United States is much less popular than it is in Europe. It's tough to come to Europe and get treated like an artist and be respected and then go back to your own country and you get kind of treated like shit."
MALEVOLENT CREATION's eleventh album, "Invidious Dominion", was released in August 2010 in North America via Nuclear Blast Records (in Europe through Massacre). The effort was made available in various territories as a regular CD; digipack with bonus material; and vinyl LP.
MALEVOLENT CREATION's latest CD was recorded at Mana Recording Studios (CANNIBAL CORPSE, VITAL REMAINS, GOATWHORE) in St. Petersburg, Florida with producer Erik Rutan (MORBID ANGEL, HATE ETERNAL, CANNIBAL CORPSE). The CD's cover art was created by renowned artist Pär Olofsson (THE FACELESS, IMMORTAL, ABYSMAL DAWN).
