Предпринимал попытку сделать развёрнутое интервью с Фло для одного журнала полгода назад. Однако на Фло неожиданно нашла волна необщительности, ответил слишком сдержанно, а на присланные позже бонусы отвечать не стал. В-общем, уже понятно, что доделываться это всё не будет... Да и по большей части из-за незаинтересованности самого Фло. Так что никакой печатной версии не будет. Но какие-то выводы из этого сыряка сделать всё-таки можно ... p.s. "Барабанные вопросы" не мои, знакомого драммера. В-общем, спешл для экспертов с Карнаж небольшой эксклюзив ...

Part 1. Questions from Ogrish

1. Flo, explain to us what has happened to the band. The fans of Cryptopsy and conservative
death metal-fans were not quite satisfied with your latest album ... There was a real scandal!

F: Well some people liked the album and some didn’t. a lot of people jumped to conclusions at first then they starting liking the album more and more. Nothing happened to the band we just decided to use clean vocals in some parts.

2. You have always recorded different albums, but it is obvious, that "The Unspoken King"
has appeared to be the most risky of them. You have faced with very different reaction to it
even on behalf of the devoted fans of the band …

F: Yeah there were different reactions, but we don t play music for reactions, we play music cause that’s what we like to do. You can t please everybody anyways.

2.3. You are considered to belong to oldschool, and you have released such a glamorous album...

It seems to me, it is not the development but a strategic way to attract new fans... And what are the
results? Do you accept the reaction of new fans from, presumably, metalcore\deathcore-parties?

F: I don t see where people get that the new album sounds metalcore or deathcore really. We didn t consciously make an album for a specific reason, we just wrote what came out at the time we composed it. I have no idea if we have new fans or not?!

2.5. In general, I consider, that the bands like The Red Chord and Despised Icon sound
fresh enough. But is it normal, that now people associate you with the bands like these?

F: Do they? I don t really care what people do, so if it makes them happy to associate, then they can associate away, lol

2.6. Do you agree that the success of The Dillinger Escape Plan has affected all these bands
which today "are not afraid" to play alternative-metal-crossover? As far as I remember, in the 90-ies
bands released the first albums in pure styles and gradually changed - now a great number of new
bands start to play using different styles at once.

F: I don’t think it was necessarily do to one band in particular, a lot of people have mixed singing and screaming and have used a progressive approach. Music is about creation and innovation, people tend to forget that. Why overanalyze it, just listen to it.

3. How did you manage to adapt to this new tendency (I mean Cryptopsy)? You've got so much
experience in death metal and then decided to play in a modernist style...

F: Like I said, nothing changed for us, clean singing does affect my drum parts, you know what I mean ; )

4. Some fans sincerely consider your album "None So Vile" the most successful...
What would you tell these people today?

F: “thanks I’m glad you like it”

5. I personally got deeply interested in your music only after "Whisper Supremacy" had been released. Therefore initially I took you as a creative project. As for me I don't share the ideas of your fans who still live in 90-ies and think that you belong to "old-school"...

F: ok

6. I have never been crazy about your lyrics, as I appreciate good rhythm-section more than good lyrics in brutal technical death metal... After Worm had left the band and McGachy came you devote the songs to other themes. What is the concept of the "new Cryptopsy" unlike "old Worm-eaten" Cryptopsy?

F: Not sure exactly cause I didn t write the lyrics but I think that they deal with things that Matt has experienced or thought about, more down to earth notions I you wish.

7. I was surprised to compare the level of realization of McGachy as the vocalist On your new album and on an album of his band 3 Mile Scream. Do you agree with me, that the difference is enormous? How did you manage to do it?

F: well Matt has an amazing voice and is very talented so he can do different things. He is also a trained vocalist so is not limited to one style or one technique. He is always growing in the development of his talent as well.

8. How many years are you older than the new vocalist and why did you choose this guy?

F: Age is age, lol. We chose him because, like I mentioned above, he is very talent, professional and he is also a great guy and easy to get along with.

9. And how did you hold the casting of the girl who should play the keyboard?
Was her foto the main criterium?

)

F: No not at all, lolllll
She was one of the only people that applied for the keyboardist position, she also had a lot of talent so we gave her a shot.

10. (to be continued...)

Part 2. Questions from Ujin

1. The question for you as a drummer. On the album there are very various and Interesting
sets of drums … Did you entirely learn them or was there any place for improvisation left?

F: There was I would say 20% improve on this album, meaning that a lot of the fills were figured out when I was playing live in studio. But for the most parts all the beats were written in advance.

2. How do you remember all this madness? Do you write it down in notes?

F: No I usually don’t write parts down, I just repeat them until they get locked into my memory.

3. How did you do in studio? From what double the master like you recording a drum set ideally?

F: If I understand the question correctly, um we usually track the drums first with a click track and a guitar scratch track, meaning a rough guitar track just for accompaniment. This time around I did 2 songs per day. We ve tried various recording techniques throughout the years, but we always start with the drums.

4. And in general, how long have you been playing your songs for new CD to make them perfect,
i.e. how long and how often have you been doing it, when they already have been completely thought up?

F: Well the first ones written obviously are the ones that are practiced more. I couldn t tell you exactly how many times we practiced each one, but there were a couple songs from the album that had been written 2 weeks before I started tracking them.

5. The ridiculous question for you, Flo … Do you tired from metal music? Do you want to have a rest from all this metal madness?-)... Maybe you want to play something slow, more silent and quiet, jazz or country for example? Do you have any other projects besides Cryptopsy or ideas to create it?

F: No I like to play metal, but play it my way so incorporating different styles and genres of music. This way I can be as creative as possible.

6. Do you still practice playing solo or you have no more time for this?

F: I practices solos for sure, I do drum clinics and stuff so they come in handy.

7. And what about your son Louis? Does he want to be a drummer like his father? =)

F: I got him a small drum set for Christmas and he has been playing a lot, lolllll he hits really hard!!!!

8. Thanks for the interview, Flo! Stay metal, keep the beat! =)

F: Thanks for the support

Цитата

Лидер гитарист и автор песен Jon Levasseur вернулся в CRYPTOPSY. Youri Raymond, ранее игравший на гитаре, теперь будет басистом, заменив тем самым ушедшего Eric'a Langois.

"У нас есть важная информация, которой мы хотим поделиться с вами. Jon Levasseur, бывший лидер гитарист и основная созидающая сила на 'None So Vile', 'Whisper Supremacy', 'And Then You'll Beg...', возвращается в группу. Комбинация Jon'a и Chris'a возродит силу и энергетику струнной секции CRYPTOPSY без потери в бэк-вокале и креативном таланте Youri Raymond'a, который теперь будет играть на шестиструнном басу! Eric Langlois решил сделать шаг назад и отдохнуть от группы. Перерожденные и полные мотивации, Matt, Chris, Youri, Jon и Flo начнут с новыми силами творить с 2011... новый материал уже в работе и будет представлен всем сочувствующим в конце 2011. Между тем, три новые песни уже готовы и уже совсем скоро появятся на последнем релизе для Century Media. Будущее готовит и вам и нам настоящий CRYPTOPSY!"
