Interview with Cam P. Guitars and bass duties for Black Hole Deity done on 7-5-24

 



1.Hello Cameron how are things going with you this week?Please introduce yourself to the readers?

Hello everyone. Cam here, guitars and bass for Black Hole Deity.


2.When did you first discover death metal music and what is it about this genre and style that you love so much?

Hmmmm probably around 91-92…. I got my hands on a couple of death metal cassette complilations. I was 12 years old and had been listening to stuff like Metallica and thought “wow this is even heavier!” And of course I liked the dark aspect of it thematically


3.Who were the first bands that caught your attention?Who are some of the current bands that you have been listening to?

In the beginning, the obvious ones like Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Deicide etc….these days, I still listen to those bands! But of course a lot of newer stuff like Fractal Generator, Hideous Divinity, Replicant


4.Cam i know you have been playing in bands since the mid to late 90's when did you first become interested in writing and playing music?

Pretty much immediately! I thought to myself “I want to do this!”


5.I believe you handle the guitars and bass duties for Black Hole Deity when did you first start playing these instruments?Are you self taught or did you take lessons when first starting out?

I started on guitar in 92. There were a couple of my grandpas guitars laying around the house. I would just pick them up and mess around. In 93 my mom took me to lessons from this guy named Bob Valentine. He was really cool and taught me some basics but I only took lessons for a couple months.


6.Who would you say are your biggest influences and favorite guitarists and bassists?

Trey Azagthoth, Terrance Hobbs, Doug Cerrito, the Metallica and Slayer guys…the list is long! Lots of classic and modern shredders too


7.Besides the guitars and bass do you currently play any other instruments? If yes what other instruments do you play?

I mess around on drums but just for fun.


8.When did you first meet the other members of the band and was it long before you all started the band?How did you all choose Black Hole Deity as the name of the band and does it have a special meaning?

Chris and I had played together in our previous band Chaos Inception. Ive known him since the late 90s . I met Alec and Mike online around 2017. The term Black Hole Deity was in some lyrics I wrote in a previous band, so I kind of ripped myself off.


9.Profane Geometry is the debut full length that will be released in July how long did it take the band to write the music for the debut? How long does it usually tacomplete one song?

The album was written over a period of a few years. Since this was a new band, it was really just an idea in my head for the longest time so there was a long period for ideas to gestate. These days, Alec and I get together and write songs in a matter of hours. But true inspiration can strike, or not strike, at any time.


10.Where does the band draw inspiration for the lyrics and what are some subjects written about on the debut release?

Aliens, war with aliens, video games, space travel, metaphysical ideas, the occult, the general human condition, nuclear war.


11.Besides the upcoming Profane Geometry debut does the band have any other releases currently available for the readers to purchase?Besides physical releases does the band have any other merchandise currently availible if yes what is availible and where can the readers purchase it?

We have our previous EP “Lair of Xenolich” also on Everlasting Spew, as well as shirts and vinyl!! Everything can be found at the labels shop www.everlastingspew.com


12.Has Black Hole Deity played very many live shows over the years? If yes what have been some of the most memorable shows?Who are some bands you have shared the stage with?

We have not played live yet but hopefully soon!! Many things have to fall in place…bands members busy with jobs/travel etc. Not to mention we live across the US


13.Besides music on the band's facebook it says you all are influence by science fiction when did you become of fan of science fiction books and movies?

As long as I can remember! Always liked the weird, occult, and supernatural.


14.What are some of your all-time favorite sci-fi books?Do you have a favorite author that you like to read?

Hyperion, Rendezvous with Rama, Project Hail Mary, House of Leaves, Oceanworlds, The Forever War, Neuromancer, the list is endless.


15.What are some of your favorite sci movies and tv series?Do you have a favorite actor or actress that you enjoy watching?What about director?

Interstellar, 2001 Space Odyssey, Arrival, 12 Monkeys, Ad Astra, The Alien movies,


16.When you need to take a break from working on new music or band business what do you enjoy doing in your free time?

These days just usually reading or maybe video games. I go for a run around the block a few times a week just to keep the blood moving, go for a swim or hike when I get the chance as well.


17.Thank you Cameron for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final comments for the readers?
