Fleshcut started out in the summer of 2006 as a Grindcore/Goregrind band called The Grabbar by Pate (vocals), Padde (drums) and Fyran (guitar), but quickly decided to play old school oriented Death Metal instead. They changed the whole thing and re-named to Massive Killing Capacity (after Dismember's 1995 full-lenght). But then Pate came up with Fleshcut and they liked it so they kept it. One random drinking night Fyran decided to leave the band because he and Pate started to bitch, about 10 minutes later Pate and Padde had a new guitarist in the form of André Nilsson. They got more serious with the whole project and decided that they should start writing songs and rehearse, but they needed another guitarist and that became the drunken fucker Slurge. Now they where a full band (at that point) and had started to rehearse, but soon they figured out that a bass player would be interesting so they asked Fyran and he tried for like two times, then a guy named Roy tried but he just quit the band out of the blue so that was no good (he's very talanted though.. just to suck his balls). And then and at last they tried Jarlau Wiahl and three rehearsals later he was a full time member. In October 2007 they recorded a 6 song EP called "Machine Driven Crushing" in Malmö, Sweden (from where the band origin). They signed a deal and released it on Goregeous Productions. The EP is almost out of print and has got very good credit (some shitty credit too, but fuck that..). All 6 songs from the EP is uploaded on Myspace if you don't have the record. Martin Schönherr (the last voice of Deranged - R.I.P!!!) did guest back up vocals on the title track. Fleshcut has played live with local partners in crime such as Splattered Mermaids, Carnalist, Thyzzo among others and with bigger acts such as Serial Butcher, Origin Blood and they opened the Armageddon Open Air festival in Kristianstad, Sweden 2007 which also featured bands like Entombed (one of Fleshcut's biggest influences), Insision, Visceral Bleeding, My Own Grave, Altair, Body Core and others. They're in the studio right now recording the upcoming full-lenght GRUESOME AND VILE which will be released on Goregeous Productions in March 2009!!! It's 8 brand new songs, 2 remakes from Machine Driven Crushing on a Pro-CD! The songs have more variation, are more brutal and slightly more techincal than the Machine Driven Crushing EP. The old school influences still lurks, and the lyrics are heavily influenced by zombie slashers and the great antics of Saw. Keep checking the blog for studio updates and shit!

Jarlau Wiahl - Bass
Now still “Machine Driven Crushing “ the album is out in the market, what's the next thing you have in mind? Are there major concerts to look forward to, or probably, a follow-up release? It seems like the debut Ep “Machine Driven Crushing” on 2007 has been received rather well. What was the best review you’ve had and which one was the worst?
Machine Driven Crushing is almost sold-out, which is great and we have no plans to re-print it! We've just finnished recording our upcoming full-lenght entitled "Gruesome And Vile" that will be released on Goregeous Productions in April 2009. Sadly we haven't got alot of reviews, we had a good one that can be read on misantropia. se. That review is just one of very few, and strangely no review has been bad. As soon as our new record is out we'll be looking for gigs!
How with Another Much Person say, Fleshcut is The Really Swedish Death Metal Entombed and Dismember Cloning ?? I still remind some little story Fleshcut about Fleshcut played their third gig on the same festival as their main inspiration Entombed, at Armageddon Open Air in the late summer of 2007. can give describe??
Our biggest influences are bands such as Entombed, Dismember, Cannibal Corpse, Fleshcrawl and so on. I wouldn't call Fleshcut pure old school Swedish death metal, I perfer to call it death metal with big swedish old school influences. But there are US and brutal influences as well. Armageddon was a blast, our gig sucked because we got the shittiest time ever. We opened the festival 12 o'clock in the day and people didn't show up at the festival until 5 hours later, so alot of bands had to play with a small crowd watching. It was cool as fuck to be on the same bill as Entombed since they are a huge influence. We ran into them after their gig (they where one of the last bands) and they where cool as fuck!

in spite of these line-up jumbles, the great music of the band is scarcely affected. How is this made possible? Was there any instance that maybe one of you did not approve of the turn-out of a release?
We've been the same line-up since we started rehearsing more or less, the old members was just there when we started the band. We weren't really a band until January 2007 when we started rehearsing, and we've had this line-up ever since. With the exception for a bassist change, but that was in the beginning and we only had like 3 songs so it doesn't count haha!
How did the recording process go? Did anything unusual and/or spectacular happen? You tired yet of the comments about the drums’ placement in the final mix? Did you have the final call on the final mix?
The recording process were kind of standard I guess, we aren't too happy with the turn-out but we where so eager to put the record out there so we didn't really give a shit if the final mix wasn't what we had hoped. Still proud of the songs though..
The final mix of the upcoming release is cool as fuck, we're very happy about it!
Also, do you guys write more song material than you eventually use on the albums or do you only write a certain number of songs and refine them until you’re all satisfied with them? Furthermore, since you tour so much: does most of the song writing happen on the road or do you guys really jump into the rehearsal room and jam?
We usually write a certain amount and we keep playing them to make them better with everytime we play them. Tour so much?? We don't tour so much, that must be a misunderstanding. We've done alot of gigs but we've never toured. All our song writing is done in the rehearsal room. It's mostly me and André, he has a riff or I have an idéa and so on. Then we make something out of it and the rest of the guys approve or disapprove. Andrés stuff is more old school and thrashy, while my stuff is more US and brutal. The other guys has stuff too, but it's mostly me and André.

" Machine Driven Crushing" is Mostly Swedish Death Metal Release, How working this Material. are you satisty for This ending?
Yes it's a mixture of old school death metal and brutal death metal with old school thrash influences, and that's our intention so we're satisfied.
Often musicians have their pet songs or own fave tunes on their albums. What song(s) on “Machine Driven Crushing ” are your favorite tracks?
My personal fave off the EP is the title track, but all in all I think our favourite song to play live is Disfigured By Chainsaw. We've done a re-make of that song for our upcoming release, the new one is more brutal and in your face!

With a decade of existence, how do you see FLESHCUT in the years to come? Would there be any possibility of a genre shift? Please tell us more of your future plans.
Our future plans is to remain the same, fast and gruesome death metal with gory lyrics with an old school root. We will never change. We might be better musicians and song writers eventually haha, but the music and genre will remain the same.
How long do you think you guys can keep this intensive touring up? It’s interesting that so many of the old metal bands are still touring frequently and often headlining festivals while they obviously can’t match their old quality level. The only exception seems to be Iron Maiden but bands like Metallica, Judas Priest (Rob needs to stop trying to sing!), Slayer are way past their prime yet still draw huge crowds. What I’m aiming at here is how long do you think FLESHCUT can keep playing and releasing albums without becoming a parody of some kind?
As said earlier, we've only been existing since 2006 and we haven't really toured. But we will continue as long as we can, there are no intentions to put this band on ice. We're releasing our first full-lenght now and I hope people will snap it up and give us gigs!!! It's kind of hard to get gigs since money is almost always involved, and we don't have alot of cash in this band!

Which of all your albums is your favorite, and if any, which one do you like least? Could you also name at least five of your favorite albums of all time?
We only have 2 releases (one of them will be released in April 2009) and the latest is our favorite, so that makes the EP our least.
How are Death metal Movement on Malmö, Skåne län Sweden scene for Now ??? How about High recommend for new comer band from Malmö, Skåne län Sweden scene to day and future ??
It's kind of good, there are a couple of bands. I can recommend friends ouf ours like Splattered Mermaids, Carnalist, Havok just to name a few. The crowd in Malmö is lame! Lazy and cheap, sadly... I consider Fleshcut a new comer band still. Most gigs in Malmö or Skåne is arranged by bands or independent people because the scene isn't that big. There are some metal clubs here, but it's only traditional heavy metal or sleaze bands that play there.

Of the emerging bands today playing similar craft as FLESHCUT, which ones do you like best and who would be your top pick to do a cover of one of your songs? Which bands do you think will make it big one of these days? Would you like to share any advice to them?
We're a small band so I don't consider us to be in the position to give advices, we need advices ourselves haha! We're planning some Entombed covers, there are alot of covers I would like to do off bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Fleshgrind, Malevolent Creation and such.. but I might be the only one in the band to be wanting that since the others aren't into those bands enough to do a cover. Me and Pate are the only ones in the band that listens to the really brutal stuff, there are alot of goregrind bands I would like to cover songs off but I can just dream of that haha. I have to do the goregrind stuff with my goregrind band DPOS!!! (myspace. com/forevervomitonyourshit) check it out, I do the vocals!
Well, this Fuckin interviews can be very nice too and on that note I’ll conclude this one. Thanks for doing this little digital tea chat Mail and let’s hope our webzine will still be around for whatever next band release you’ll be on haha. keep existing for extreme metal flames forever !!
Thank you, this is the first "real" interview for Fleshcut so this was fun as fuck really! KEEP SUPPORTING DEATH METAL AND STAY BRUTAL!!!
