“Infestissumam” Q&A

  • What have the artists said about the album?

    A Nameless Ghoul told Loudwire:

    the first album is about the forthcoming arrival of the Devil, spoken very much in biblical terms, much like the church will say that doomsday is near. This new album is about the presence of the Devil and the presence of the antichrist. Embroidered in these 10 songs, it is more about how mankind relates to a diabolical presence. That is the short version.

    The first album, we sort of took pride in the fact that it sounded very alive. It’s basically just drums, bass guitar, guitar and some keyboards being played. When the time came and we started touring a lot, the songs still worked, but like most bands going from an embryonic rehearsal state to actually touring, when you’re playing more in front of audiences than you are rehearsing, that always changes a few approaches as to the fact that certain songs do not really work in front of an audience, whereas other songs work perfectly well, whereas there are other songs that everybody in the audience might like and want to hear but feel very weird playing. All of those dynamics and that relationship with your repertoire can only be learned by playing. That’s why second albums have a tendency to be more live-based.

  • What have the artists said about where they have recorded the record?

    A Nameless Ghoul told Westword:

    [Anonimity] wasn’t really a problem because in Nashville, what we do isn’t really known. It is the capital for commercial and religious music. So because we were doing our big sellout record, we definitely needed to go there to fully sell out. Nick [Raskulinecz] lives there, so we needed to be practical. Also the Blackbird Studio we ended up using was very much a good choice, I think. A lot of old gear. Even though the record isn’t fully analog, it still has a very analog feel due to the gear that we used.
