Interview with Desekryptor done by Patrick
1.Hello please introduce yourself to the readers and at what age were you when you first got into metal music?
This is P.A., guitarist/vocalist for DESEKRYPTOR. I can remember being in sixth grade on the school bus in rural Indiana when an older kid, thinking it would freak me out, handed me the headphones of his Sony Walkman and said, "Hey listen to this!" That was Master of Puppets and I got pretty obsessed with it, learning the title track's main riff on guitar within a few weeks.
2.Who were some of the first bands you listened to and who are some of your current favorites?
DESEKRYPTOR is old school death metal but has no reservations about taking a song in a fucked up, not so old school direction.
We were lucky enough to be contacted by Rodrigo of Blood Harvest and jumped at the opportunity. Obviously an excellent label with a solid catalog of releases.
6.Chasm Of Rot is the bands second demo tape to date how long did it take the band to write the music for this release?Does the whole band take part in the writing process or does one member usually write everything?
This demo was definitely a collective effort. E.S. and I wrote a bunch of riffs on our own over the course of a few months, but when we got together to work out the song arrangements they came together very quickly.
8.Does Desekryptor play live very often or do you prefer to work in the studio?
We haven't played any shows yet. E.S. is on tour right now and the plan is to start practicing with a dedicated bass player when he returns.
9.Are their any shows or tours coming up in support of Chasm Of Rot ?If yes where will the band be playing?
Nothing planned yet but hope to play some shows soon.
E.S. also plays in Nak'ay and Warsleaze; I also play in Scythemaster and Ecferus.
Early bay area thrash like the aforementioned and Megadeth; 90's death metal like Morbid Angel, Obituary... Some new records we're digging are the latest from Phrenelith, Ascended Dead, and Impetuous Ritual.
3.When did you first meet the other members of the band?And how did you all choose the name Desekryptor for the band does it have a special meaning?
We met each other through playing shows in Fort Wayne. I think we recognized quickly that joining forces would produce some grotesque results. I came up with the name DESEKRYPTOR. Not sure how it came to me, just chopping shit up really. All the best names are taken obviously.
4.What is the current line up of the band? And for the readers who have never heard Desekryptor's music how would you describe the bands sound?
E.S. - guitar
P.A. - guitar, vocals
T.S. - drums
Soon adding a dedicated bass player.

11.What does underground metal mean to you ?
Metal with no regard for, and in opposition to, convention and mainstream appeal. Metal that only considers the diehards and says F.O.A.D. to everyone else.
