GYNOPHAGIA 2000 1. Hey Embryo, you have unleashed upon the slimy underground a foul and disgusting opus of your brand Cyber Gore known as GYNOPHAGIA. Give us a look into your nasty head and why you spawned such filth. Embyro: Howdly Lee, how it be? I just thought it was time to do something a bit more creative and worthwhile for a change. I was called upon to create wicked beats and a new form of gore/grind one could dance to. Not really, I'm just a jerk who doesn't have anything better to do with his spare time. (What's better than Gore Grind other than dead bodies? -Lee) 2. "Cyber Gore" is a relatively new genre in the extreme music scene with only a handful of bands practicing it. Want to give some examples of bands that might have given you ideas of going about your creations? Embryo: Shortly after the original assimilation of the project died (with Dusthole on bass) I stumbled onto a noise/grind project called Ganglia, which uses only drum machine & computer generated noise to create sounds (i.e. No actual instruments!) This got me thinking, I could do something similar but more to my tastes, not to mention way more perverted. (That's the truth! GYNOPHAGIA is freakin' foul! If I'd never hanged with Embryo and known him as the mild-mannered dude he is I'd probably be scared of him! Which all just comes back around to the simple fact that extreme grind is merely music, and not gospel of our actual life style! But anyway, that's another story, back to you Embryo! -Lee) I've always loved bands like The Secret Life, Libido Airbag, Goreborg, etc. and so I put these influences/inspirations into play and came up with what you now know as Gynophagia. Also it gave me something to do with all the twsited lyrics/poems I'd been writing. (It would've been a shame to let such filth sit around and collect dust! -Lee) 3. What have you released and what is spewing forth next? Embryo: I haven't released shit except the "Gash Gobblers" demo for now, which is 18 songs. Also the "De-thaw the Vagina for Supper" session is finished, 25 songs. And I've got a track coming out on the "Yellow Teeth is Sign of Demonic Possession" comp tape, which may or may not be uses. I'm really not pleased with it, and I actually asked for it to be excluded but we'll see. As for future releases a 3way split CD with Cadaver Removal Technician and Gross is looking hopeful. I'd also like to do a split tape or something with SMES, but I have yet to contact Erwin about this. ("De-thaw has now been released as a split tape with SMES! -Lee) 4. Could we really do an interview without some film talk? Hell naw, tell us some real sickies and which ones would go hand in hand with GYNO? How about "Forced Entry"? I think "depraved" is the key word here... Embryo: Oh yeah definitely Forced Entry is a real good one. I used several samples from it on "G.G.". It just had to be done. Other films I'd recommend to those down with GYNO include: Buried Alive, (One of my faves too! -Lee) New York Ripper, Maniac, Hardware, the Guinea Pigs etc. Dude there's so many I could go on and on. Lemme go ahead and say to anyone who may be misled. Even though I do view sicko splatter/gore flix often I'm really not one of these freaks who sit around watching them all the time, you know, but I do love to get off on extreme violence & Misogyny, only in films though. 5. How are things looking for employment in a funeral home? What's your dream job be the concept legal or not. Embryo: Things ain't looking good for that. Most of the mortuaries around here are family owned, which makes it difficult for a young man like myself to get in on the necrophilia! Naw, haha, my dream job would actually be that, to work in a funeral home/mortuary. I'd enjoy the solitude, as I love being alone and never cared much for being around people. Plus, if I got lucky I might get to put make-up on the pretty dead girls or dress them  up and comb their hair and other such thinkgs. I could stay up all night reading Lovecraft as well as indulge in all my necro-erotic love fantasies when I felt like it. Ha, don't I wish. 6. Tell me some essential listening that's out now. Embryo: Since this is a sick zine I'll just stick with the sick shit! Here's a few suckers! Bitch Infection, Misogynist Pussyslasher, SMES, Analscope Rectal Speculum, Decomposing Serenity (A must!), Dysmenorrheic Hemorrhage/Formaldehyde Fetus, DeathDisco (new stuff out soon on my degenerate fuckbag of a label), Pux of Satan (R.I.P. -but should be heard!), etc. I'm still crankin' Purulent Spermcanal, Dead Infection, RGTE, Lymphatic Phlegm, The Police and lots of other shit. 7. I think "Suspiria" kicks ass, what are your thoughs on that? Have you seen Argento's "Phantom of the Opera" yet? How about the movie "Kissed"? Embryo: I love Suspiria. It's one of Argento's best as far as I'm concerned. Honestly I've listened to the soundtrack more times than I've seen the movie, no shit. I'm not a huge soundtrack junkie or anything, but the score by Goblin is a total Hiney Kicker! And since we're on the subject of Goblin, everyone check out the soundtrack to "Contamination". The movie stinks but the music is top notch. No I haven't seen Phantom or Kissed yet, but I gotta check out Phantom for sure. Seems like there's a lot of cool shitcoming out these days, even the slasher genre has made a rebirth, yay! I'm a sucker for that cheesy shit. Slumber Party Massacre 4 can you believe it? (And "Return to Sleep Away Camp"! -Lee) 8. Pretty cool that VOMIT SPAWN has reformed eh? Hey you ever think about putting out the occasional Placental Waste newsletter now that the 'zine is dead? Embryo: It's awesome that VS is back in action. Think I've just about worn out my copy of "Fetal Lust", can't wait for the re-issue on CD. Nope I'm about burnt sick of the whole cut 'n' paste scene and the routine of standing in front of those lousy copy macines. (Me too! -Lee) That shit wore thin on me very quickly. I'm still doing reviews now & then, though, and I think Adam Birth may print a couple in his newsletter deal, so that's that. Fart. My brain is stupid and I feel like poopin'. 9. Describe what you consider to be the perfect film as far as comcept and ideas go. Embryo: You know the dream sequence in "Nekromantik" where that nasty corpse rises from the ground out of that garbage bag, I'm sure you do. (Of course, what I theorize to be Rob's vision of utopia with the bitch who would later fall in love with him after his suicide. -Lee) Well I'd like to create that same feeling/atmosphere if I could. I don't really have any ideas about what kind of film I might make, as it's really not a medium I have much interest dabbling in. I'm just a total fan when it comes to movies. I probably couldn't make one if I tried, not that I'd want to, duh! 10. The most evil vision that youv'e ever had was...? Embryo: It's funny, not that I've dropped over 35 pounds (still got me beer belly though, which I'm very proud of!), cut off my hair and cleaned up a bit, just the thought of a girl actually going out of her way to talk to me iw about as sick a thought as I could ever dream of. I really wouldn't want to think of anything more evil than that, would you? (Well it depends on what kind of evil you're thinking of! -Lee) 11. If you could visit anywhere in the world where would it be and why? Embryo: Fuck dude, I don't know shit about anything. You got anyt recommendations? (Yes! Italy or France. -Lee) Wait! Someday I'd like to get out and fool around in my backyard. I've been meaning to do that for quite some time now. (How long has it been? I remember whenyou, Dustin and I smoked back there! -Lee) 12. What would you do if you were paid a surprise MTV visit by Brittney Spears? Embryo: Wait a minute mister, MTV? No way, I couldn't have that. As for M. Spears I'd have to make that sweet little thing bleed and have her feel painful death. No, just kidding, I'd probably try to introduce her to Mr. Penis. Hee-hee, sorry man, as you can see, I'm afraid I'm not very bright am I? (Well the only flaw I see in this response is that you said you were just kidding about making her bleed! I hate that prissy little slut. -Lee) 13. Ok dawg, let's wrap this up with some negative comments or blasphemous ranting or just plain whatever you want to say. Embryo: Thanks a whole lot for letting me puke in your zine man. Always cool to shoot the shit with ya. 'Bout time you got this fuger going again. -Best of luck with your musick  and film projects. I'd definitely be into turning out as a zombie or grave-robbing pedophile or something. (And so you shall. -Lee) Alright, before I split lemme give a shout out to some freaks: Sascha of CBT, Didez of Libido Airbag, Erwin Herrie, Food Fortuna, Adam of Anal Birth, Ernie, Dusthole and everyone whose kept it real.
