MZ666: Where did the band name originate?
WR: We were thinking of names that we could use and we wanted something that people would remember.
As we were righting some of our songs we were writing at the time were about aborting crack whores with pick axes and we liked
that idea then there were all sorts of previews for a tomb raider movie so we thought Womb Raiders was a good name.
MZ666:Tell me about your band - How long have you been
together, how did you all meet, etc?
WR: We started messing around in july 2003. Doh,
Jay, and my self met in MSN chat. We started talking years ago and became friends.
MZ666: How would you best describe your style of music?
WR: GORE PORN RAPE GRIND \m/
MZ666:
What would be your ultimate gig line-up?
WR: Disgorge (Mex), Imapled, Exhumed, Mortician, Anal
Blast, Womb Raiders. We are actually touring with Anal Blast this june, and we are doing a split CD with Disgorge (Mex)
later this year/early next year, and possibly playing some shows in mexico with them if they will have us! So we're
almost there!
MZ666: Who writes your lyrics, music and what subjects do they deal
with?
WR: Doh and I normally write our lyrics. Jay takes care of all the music.
and our lyric subjects are normally Rape, Murder, Cannibalism, Zombies, and massive Killing spress.
MZ666:What is your favorite song to perform? Why?
WR:
"WHY DID YOU MAKE ME RAPE YOU?" Aside from the fact that its going to one day be a classic..its just one of those "feel
good" songs.
MZ666:How many releases do you have out right now?
WR: At the moment only MP3s. We will have 3 Split CDs and one full length out by the
end of the year though.
MZ666:Anything you guys do before a show to get pumped
up?
WR: Listen to bigger named bands and go out and try to be better then your icons.
A rape or two also helps gets things flowing :)
MZ666:What was your most memorable show? Why?
WR: None as of yet.
MZ666:What are some of your favorite place's to play?
WR: My favorite venue has been the palace in hollywood. I've also enjoyed the roseland
ball room in NY.
MZ666:Do you have any advice for people starting a
band?
WR: Yes! First if its going to be a serious band try to only work
with those who are willing to put money into your projects. Also work with people who do not have egos because that
will fuck you up more then almost anything else. And join heavycore!!!
MZ666:What is your impression of the Metal music scene?
WR: Well overall I think the scene is going strong. There are things that need to be improved/better
organized. I think there needs to be more metal fests that are cheap for bands to be apart of. Spending $1,000
on a shitty 20 min slot on a fest is NEVER A GOOD IDEA, and the people who profit off that need to be sent to prison for extortion.
MZ666:Who are some of the influences on your band?
WR: Well each of us has different influences. Intense Hammer Rage, Disgorge (Mex) Burzum, Six Feet Under,
Cannibal Corpse, Megadeth, Slayer, Impaled, Lord Gore, Sergent Slaughter, Exhumed, Nile, Exodus, Venom, Bathory...the list
goes on for a while so I will cut it off there.
MZ666:What makes your band different from other bands?
WR: I think that our style of music sets us apart. Most "death metal" bands seem too chickenshit
to make brutal songs. They are all trying to make stuff that can be on mtv 2. We play old school death metal/grind
with gore/rape lyrics and we actually want to get banned from playing/selling our CDs in certain areas. We do not want
to sign to a trendy label like century media, metal blade, or relapse. We do not want our music played on mtv, and we
most certainly do not want to play the milwauckie metal fest where rip off scam artists take money from hard working bands
just so they can raise 20 grand so they can hire a band in which no extreme metal fan wants to see! We want to make
some sick ass brutal metal and we do not give a shit if people like it or if it makes them ill and they hate it and want us
dead or arrested for it.
MZ666:Who are the members in your band and what instruments
do they play?
WR: Anthony Lustmord- Vocals. Doh- Bass/back up vocals. Jay-Guitar/producer/drum
prog (when we use drum machine.) Joey- 2nd bassist. Brent- Live drums. Joey and Brent are not full time members.
