BLOODREAPING is a project with Antimo Buonanno of the Mexican DISGORGE and Eduardo Guevara of the Mexican CENOTAPH and that's a furios death/grind act which released an album entitled "Feasting the Weak" and I can promise everybody who is into finest grind-massacrations pure enjoyment while listening to it!

Well, Antimo tell me the history of the Band BLOOD REAPING, please.

After all thanx for the patience to make the interview, and well a brief story of BLOODREAPING and well bloodreaping started as a project between members of pyphomgertum (r.i.p), and i they wanted to make a cd with the name of pyphomgertum , but them eduardo made all the songs for that project and the members of pyphomgertum left the project only jorge rubio ex-drummer for pyphomgertum stayed and recorded half of the album and gizmo reza (drummer for makina and owner of the tequila studio) made the other part so we decided to change the name to the band project to BLOODREAPING so we started to finnish all the songs and then we record it in december of 97 with gizmo reza of the tequila studios, then we searched some label who were interested in release it but no label seemed to be interested in the project, so then emerald city (oz prods. sub label) showed interest in the product in the past 2000 and then release it in the 2001 so the album started to be distributed worldwide with the help of emerald city with really good feedback so we decided to make it a band the project and actually we are an active band with eduardo in guitars, roberto in bass saul (from the grindcore band GENOCIDE) and me in guitars and voice and we are rehearsing songs and composing new material for the next album....

I would say the BLOODREAPING debut could also be the new DISGORGE album. It combines every trademark of extreme music in the good old tradition. Are you totally satisfied with the result?

I guess we are so much different to the DISGORGE sound, on the „feasting the weak“ album the sound its more death metal oriented like deicide, suffocation style and the disgorge sound its more faster i think, but man i bet you the new stuff for bloodreaping its way more brutal and emotional man its more morbid angelesque oriented, we are more happy and satisfied with this new material we are writting and about the "feasting..." we were happy with the results and the feedback people had enjoyed the album but as i said man i guess the new material its way more better than "feasting...."

Are there more BLOODREAPING releases planned? You seem to be a definite workaholic. You have also two another bands called DEMONIZED and DOMAIN, right?

Je!! yeah workalcoholic, i would say warcoholic bro!! fuck yeah man! i am really into metal bro, and i am always in activity with my other bands in fact bloodreaping are on the way to finnishing the details for the next recording of thre next album we are finnishing the stuctures of the 8 and 9 song for the album man and also we finnished already the recording of a promo cd with 2 songs that gonna be included on the next album to search another label we vhave some plans to make the contract with an american label but theres nothing concrete but we are on that stuff and also playing live in fact we gonna play this next weekend with cenotaph, raped god, buried dreams, the zephyr, prohibitory, ravager and some other bands its kind of a fest this next 27 of this month and and yes i am also playing with RAVAGER (domain changed their name to this one) and man DEMONIZED its in fact only a project band for rtecordings man and also ewe gonna release through evil vengeance recs our first album this next august, and also man i am making a trash band but also this its only for recording and this one its called PROFANATOR this stuff as i said its simple straight metal and i am making this band with ex members of DOMAIN, and active members of WARCRUSHER so man we are working for our first album, man i have so much things to do but i am happy with this life....

I bet you totally life the lifestyle of extreme death metal. What does death metal and grindcore mean to you?

Its a style of extreme music that I love and I will die for it!

What do you think about the new-fashioned melodic death, such bands like DARK TRANQUILITY or IN FLAMES? In my opinion that's nothing got to do with the spirit of Death Metal, because Death Metal has got to sound awesome, unadultered and violent. What do you think?

You are right Marc, that's definitely true, death metal must be straight, violent and unmercyfull, but I can't deny that those bands have a special credit, cause they play really awesome. I like their first albums of those aforementioned bands. I also like the Swedish metal style, but you are totally right death metal is straight to the guts.

What Bands do you usually listen to and what are the prime Influences for BLOOD REAPING?

We listen to every kind of metal we dont only listen to death metal, we listen to trash, speed, grind, black ,heavy metal all kind of metal influence us all but our prime influence its the best bands of the brutal and mercyless death metal brother, but man we are always listen to mighty MORBID ANGEL man, its a band that all in the band we respect so much and we love it so much but also last weekend we were fuckin drinkin a lot of buzz listen to the newest overkill live album, and also to defleshed album "fast forward" that album fucking kills!!!

A private question: What do you do the whole day? Do you have a "normal" dayjob?

Yes, I have a dayly job, I am working for cheff second assistant in a restaurant-bar but I want to change the job you know, fuckin chiefs are fuckin prepotent and they don't give me so much chances to go to play concerts on the weekends, so I guess I gonna change the job, my original job and what I know really well its serygraphic printer.

Is it difficult for an extreme act like you in Mexico? How liberal is Mexico with brutal bands, gigs and censorship? I must say, here in Germany it's a total desaster with that fucking censorship. CANNIBAL CORPSE for example may not play songs from their first three albums on gigs, every cover artwork is banned here. What about such shit in Mexico?

Yeah man, I know about censorship in Germany and its a fuckin hell there man! fuck shit!!! Man, here in Mexico things are different, there's no kind of censorship here in Mexico, we don't have difficulties about that man, our only problem here in Mexico is to make a international projection, cause you know there's no much interest in the international scene for Mexico I guess in these latest years things have changed, but we are working very hard to make it happen. We want to get to Europe and US to make tours. I hope things get better for BLOODREAPING.

Do you often play live with all your bands?

Yeah, things have been active these last months with RAVAGER and BLOODREAPING , as i said you we gonna play with bloodreaping this next weekend and some other weekend in august and september, for ravager we gonna play with NILE in august and some other dates in the province of mexico also we are planning to make the WA.R.R.R. TOUR 2002 with RAVAGER,BLOODREAPING and RAPED GOD (band of saul and eduardo respectively from bloodreaping) so we are structuring the dates to put on the tour running.

I think the Mexican scene is about to grow up like the old Florida. The Label "American Line" releases a dozen of extreme and cool acts such as OXIDISED RAZOR, CHRONIC INFECTION, GENOCIDE... Are you happy with the scene in your neighbourhood?

Yeah man, the Mexican scene is about to grow up very fast, there's a lot of cool band out there like: great ANARCHUS, OXIDISED RAZOR, RAPED GOD, PULVERIZED, PROHIBITORY, SARGATANAS, WARCRUSHER, FROM FORGOTTEN BEING, GENOCIDE (were saul drummer of bloodreaping is also playing), ROTTENNESS, PARACOCCIDIODOMICOSIS, RAVAGER and tons more that are making it really well, take an eye in mexico cause theres a lot of really good band making great metal for the worldwide scene....

Is it true that you did some guest vokills on the new album of KABAK from San Salvador? That's cool! How did you get in touch?

That was great bro cause was when we were on our central american tour in el salvador and we played with them and rodrigo (saludos cabron comunicate con la banda!!!) and he asked me if i can make some backing vocals for their next album and i accepted inmediately , i fuckin love KABAK man and they were recording their album in basement were we played the last night with them and were so fuckin great!! salutes to them werever they are!

One more question about DISGORGE: I've got the "Oz Live" video at home and I must say if every DISGORGE gig is like that on the video, I bet you can get a status like CANNIBAL CORPSE or DEICIDE. I must say you are a charismatic frontman. Will you soon tour through Germany again? Maybe with DISGORGE and BLOODREAPING? That would be an explosive package!

Thanx for your words bro and man every gig of disgorge, bloodreaping and ravager we try to do our best make a fuckin hell of a gig man and bro we cant wait to get germany again and the entire europe man, that was a fuckin awesome experience brother we would never forget those gigs in germania bro and i hope we could get this next time with bloodreaping bro, would be great!

Who has done the cover artwork of the "Feasting the Weak" album?

Antonio Nolasco. He is also the vocalist for WARCRUSHER from here our city queretaro, he also had done some other works for DISGORGE and RAVAGER and some other logos, he have a really big potential. He is really awesome...

How often do you rehearse with BLOODREAPING and your other bands?

With BLOODREAPING almost every weekend cause I have to travel to Mexico City, cause I am living in Queretaro City. That is like two hours in drive far from Mexico City, if I don't have enough money, we rehearse every 15 days and stuff and with DISGORGE and RAVAGER I rehearse dayly...

How is the general feedback on "Feasting the Weak"?

Really great man we started to play alive like a month ago cause as i said you we didnt had a stable line up but right now with saul and roberto its great we have some more concerts to do this next septembver and i guess in this august and for the reviews are great but man as i said you we are like more focused on the new stuff for bloodreaping its way more brutal and evil man and i guess it gonna crush to pieces the "feasting the weak"

Dave Rotten, Labelboss of the spanish Repulse Records and frontman of the bands AVULSED and CHRIST DENIED ("Got what he deserved" killer!!) once said in an interview that the freaks in Central America and South America are extremely enthusiastic visting Death/Grind gigs and a band which plays on gigs in Europe before 150 People, plays in Central America before 300 or 500 people which destroy everything and gigs mean undescibable fun for them. You already toured with DISGORGE through Europe last year. What can you say about the differences between the shows in Europe and Central/South America?

Man I can't deny that, people in central, south america and here in mexico are really savage and anxious for brutality but man the crowd of europe its really great they are really into the underground and the scene its something that the mexican crowd dont have its like a 20 percent of the whole crowd is really into the underground the other restant people are into everything you know, they could go at any gig without problems...

Do you see differences between Death Metal and Black Metal or do you consider both styles simply as extreme metal music?

You have said it man, those are only two different kind of extreme ways to play metal, I love metal in any kind of ways, but only played with conviction and with the true heart.

Is it an aim of you to create a special image for your bands and how important are images for you in general?

I don't care about image or shit like that. I care about the music, I am straving for making music thats why i am involved with three bands at the same time and also man, with the people with i am making these bands its really great to party and make music with them that is what i am in this kind of music death metal will never dies!!!

How important are the lyrics for BLOODREAPING? As important as the music?

Are really important as the music man, you know the lyrics for the "feasting...." are really simplistic and more brutal you know but the new concept for the next material are way more in depth stuff, really focused in the occultist mysticism of the history of mankind every kind of black source its enough to us to write and inspire us to write music, like a new title of the next material "where black flames arise" its our personal view of the inferno man full of flames of obscurity and the way how we gonna burn with pride and with true knowledge of this loss mankind that have being buried all these centuries...

Do you have a concept behind the lyrics and who writes the most lyrics?

We gather when we want to speak in a lyric some kind of topic everybody of us give an idea and i print it in paper, and the only concept in bloodreaping is evilness and darkness shall forever prevail!!

Okay Man, do you wanna give me some Statements about the following Bands? Purulent, Cinerary, Oxidised Razor, Sinister, Internal Suffering, Exhumed, Immolation and Krisiun.

All these bands are great except for PURULENT, cause I don't have heard about them, but these bands are fuckin great, some others great than others, but in fact all of them are fuckin great specially IMMOLATION, KRISIUN, EXHUMED and SINISTER fuckin rules!!

Any other bands and releases you would recommend to me and the readers?

Man I am hearing right now the latest VOMITORY "Revelation Nausea" and it's fuckin great!! I don't know, there are tons and tons of great releases out there, that I can recommend, but I guess that who have jhe final word it's yourself, ah!! The latest ABOMINATOR "Subversives For Lucifer" fuckin feasts the weak!!!

Okay amigo, that's all from me. Do you have some last words for the freaks?

Marc, bro thanx a lot for being so cool and patient with me hermano, I guess everyone else could me sended to hell, but thank you so much for the interest in bloodreaping and the support and for the people in Germany thanx a lot for supporting bloodreaping. We hope to get to Germany very soon with the reaping and I hope all of you could dig the next stuff of the reaping, cause it gonna be way more bestial than the "Feasting....". Thanx for read this and keep supporting true death metal!!! In hell!!!
