Hey Polwach, thanks for taking the
time out of your schedule to do this interview with Good Guys Go Grind.
What’s up Shawn/GGGG. My pleasures man. Go for
it.
Some of us are curious, what was it
exactly that peaked your interest about drumming?
Well, I started listening to rock and extreme
music when I was like 13-14 and the drums attracted me the most. From that
point I started to learn drumming. I remembered when I first listened to
Diabolis Interium by Dark Funeral and was amazed on how fast that shit was.
So what can you tell us about the
story of Cystgurgle?
Sure mate, before I formed this shitty band I
was always interested in playing some nasty goregrind with totally pitchshifted
vomitflux. I then asked Twish (which was already in grindcore act Masochist) to
form a band like this, that was in January 2012. I came up with the band name
and we all agreed on it. Then we started recording shit. Simple story huh?
Can you enlighten myself and the
audience with insight to your writing process for lyrics and song titles?
We write no lyrics. Everything you hear vocal
wise is pure improvisational gutturals on pithshifted effects. Song titles: I
open a medical dictionary I bought cheap from a book store then begin composing
some fucked up titles. I always try to come up with insane and sometimes
abstract ones.
What gear do you use?
Sticks,cymbals,heads,etc.
For Cystgurgle, I currently use a TAMA speed
cobra double pedal, an 8” CMC micro snare, for sticks; I just use the cheapest
7A sticks I can find.

We will have a live show locally near the end of this month
(August 2017). We also plan to tour aboard. Will see.
Also, what is the music scene like
in your country?
I will put an emphasis on grindcore/goregrind scene only. It’s very small, we play in small venues, small but warm you know? Same guys organizing and coming to the shows. New bands and projects are here and there but they are from the same guys. But it’s a yes if you ask me whether I’m satisfied with what is going currently or not.
Are you more a fan of Groovy
Goregrind or the Straightforward Old School style of Goregrind?
I used to be more a fan of the first one but now
I’m more a fan of the latter. Both are enjoyable if done right tho.
In your personal opinion what are
your top 5 favorite bands in Goregrind?
Last Days of Humanity (of course), Biological
Monstrosity, Active Stenosis, Inopexia, Pulmonary Fibrosis. Tons more but if
you let me choose only 5 then yea.
Well, thanks again for doing this
interview. If there's any last words you'd like to put in here please by all
means be my guest.
Thanks to you as well man. GGGG rules. Search
Cystgurgle on Facebook to get updated on us. Devour a lot of pitchshifted
