with over two decades worth of music in
their back catalogue this American death
metal band is at the top of their game
hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome to
watchmojo.com our host eric got the
chance to sit down with Paul from
Cannibal Corpse to learn more about his
so called drumming midlife crisis and to
find out his views on the currency
you guys included kind of a making-of
with the special edition that came out
there was a lot about you and you spoke
about a drumming midlifecrisis kind of
where you reinvented a bit of what you
do so can you tell us about that just
did a little soul-searching I guess at
that point you know trying to improve
wherever I think I can improve you know
and it took me to that point to realize
that maybe I needed to do some things I
mean I felt that I was maybe getting
complacent and you should never do that
you know should always really try to
strive and be the best musician you can
you know I felt there was things I maybe
some bad habits I needed to kind of get
out of you know I would I was starting
to sit really too low on my kid you know
changing my sticks I went to a thinner
stick to maybe help my speed a little
more you know it took months of you know
of course readjusting and working with
you know the things I just said to be
able to say okay I’m ready to you know
be comfortable and play it was all for
the good that’s for sure than anyone who
has the record can see in the credits
that you wrote carrying sculpt identity
I didn’t even know you played guitar
anything so can you tell us about your
your writing process when it comes to
that I guess I have an enough inability
where I can pick up a guitar and and
exactly write some songs I mean I can
play it enough to show like Pat or Rob
good enough for them to understand like
and not be just a jumbled mess I felt
good that you know everyone was happy
enough to want to use the songs on the
CDs you guys have been instrumental in
the death metal scene bringing it where
it is today you’ve seen all the changes
since the late 80s to now how do you
feel about that you know I mean it’s
definitely different maybe you know the
music is morphed and there’s so many
subgenres that’s going on which is a
good thing that’s still heavy metal it’s
still me you know brutal music in some
extent maybe it’s harder for me to
understand some of the newer bands and
tend to get into because it’s a
different generation thing you know but
the fact that metal is doing as good as
it is in almost like a mainstream
capacity is it’s just showing you that
yet it’s not going anywhere it’s just
gonna get more popular because society
is changing in that way there it’s being
accepted you know as opposed to back
then when it started out it’s like what
the hell is this you know but now it’s
been around for 20 plus years 25 30
years now I mean just imagine what its
gonna be like in another 30 or 40 50
years I mean when when death metal is
not wow it’s been around for 80 years
death metal I mean it could be you know
mainstream to the point of you’re
walking into an elevator and you’re here
in elevator music you know like that
could be normal
thanks a lot for meeting with us
