Interview with Pungent of Intense Mutilation (Courtesy of Explosión Cerebral Webzine):

 

1-How was the beginning of the band, was difficult to form Intense Mutilation? 
Intense Mutilation was formed when Fetus F*cker (who was playing bass in the band C.U.N.T.) met Pungent (who was in the band Penis) at a show where C.U.N.T. opened for Penis. Nine months later, Intense Mutilation was born, but it was a difficult nine months. Strange cravings for Rocky Road Ice Cream with anchovies seemed to haunt the band during the nine months. At the end of that nine month period, things were so difficult that we'd be better served if we had an epidoral administered to us collectively. We finally got a whack on the rear and Intense Mutilation took to life. 

2- Why do you use atypical lyrics, how do you create all your music? 
On our new CD (shameless plug) entitled "Sgt Lepper Falling Parts Club Band" only available thru our website, http://www.IntenseMutilation.com, we wrote a song called "Buy a Vowel For My Bowel" that provides an overview of the lyrical composition process of Intense Mutilation. We typically eat a can of alphabet soup, let nature run its course, then make words out of whatever floats in the bowl We're sorry to disappoint the Hispanic readership of this WebZine but, at this time, we are unable to find any cans of soup with tildas and are only limited to English-based lyrics. By the way, did I mention that our new CD entitled "Sgt Lepper Falling Parts Club Band" only available thru our website, http://www.IntenseMutilation.com

3- Who do you do your covers, who created your beatleish cover and why? 
The same person who created the artwork for our "Safe Sex" album also did the artwork here, but our very own new guitarist, "E3 The Extra Testicle" finished the coloring. As to why the artwork was created, it all started with Jack S*it, our drummer, saying "create the artwork". Then, a combination of capillary 
activities on pen ink and normal gravitational pull resulted in the artwork you see here:

4- Why do yo use the masks, do you think that are your weapons to fight in your shows? 
I see that you are astute enough to notice the change in our masks. In the past, we used a simple white elastic-based cloth as the foundation for masks. Then our bassist, Fetus F*cker, happened to mention (while eating a baloney sandwitch) "...hey - why don't we use our masks as weapons to fight in our shows"? So, we realized that we needed a thicker polymer for material for our masks. Lucky for us, Anna Nicole Smith was selling her truss on Ebay. We got the winning bid, made four masks out of it and had enough extra material left over to cut the rest into strips and make vertical blinds for my patio door. 

5- Will you edit your old demos, are you working with any label or are you releasing your stuff independent? 
From time-to-time, you will see our old demos available on Ebay (go to http://www.IntenseMutilation.com, then click on "Buy 1980's Intense Mutilation music products over the WEB here!"). Regarding independent release of the demos, I made the mistake of storing a stack of old demos near my dog's food bowl. So, he's been releasing the tapes at the rate of about one every seven hours. The sound quality on these is like crap, however. 

6- What do you know of Peru or Southamerica? 
Well, I do know that your Head of State is named Alejandro Toledo. If you scramble the letters, that makes "Ted Joe Anal Drool", "Dean Jed Oral Tool" and "Rod Jell A Dane Too". So, sounds like this guy's an equal opportunity fudge packer. 

7- Have you played in live, how asre your shows, will you play with your old band Penis? 
Offhand, I play with Penis quite often, but not publically. Issues with diminishing eyesight as well as electrolysis on my palm have resulted in me playing with Penis less often, however. Penis was always full of ego, with its former members being cock-y and all. Recently, some of the guys started writing songs under the banner name of "Viagra" and let me tell you, if you thought they had big heads before, you aint't seen nothing yet! 

8- What do you think about pornography, which are your faves one, and about drugs are you agree with the soft drugs? 
A warning about pornography - don't let this happen to you. A while back, I was having a solo-jam-session with Penis for the song "Shuffle Off To Knuckle-o". When I was done and started to wipe down the blades off the ceiling fan, I shut off the video tape. The tuner was set to NBC and Fat Al Roker was giving the weather forecast. At that moment, my lady walked in and saw the smoking gun evidence. Then, she took one look at the TV and she falsely concluded that Fat Al's ass (which can cover the state of Pennsylvania when he gives the East Coast report), was the object of my desire. I attempted to calm her down by playing 
the video tape of the scene of eight women sharing a rimless rubber spoked wagon wheel and I seemed to get myself into more hot water. Regarding drugs, where I'm not into uppers or downers, I've always been into 
sideways. The great thing is that they have no side effect whatsoever! My doctor prescribes them to me (label says something about aspartame). I OD'd once and ended up sprinting around the block three times. 

9- To you who is Bush and what is your opinion about the war in Irak? 
Intense Mutilation has always been a band for the fans, so, I decided to pose this question to the patrons at a local bar. I asked the women there what they thought of Bush (strangely, it was ONLY women in the bar). It seems as if there may be other candidates running for the office of President because many of the 
women mentioned that they would lick Bush in an instant. They also mentioned how they roll out the red carpet once a month in a visit from their bloody friend and I think that tight relationships with England's PM is a good idea. Regarding the war in Iraq, I say 'make love not war'. That's why I'd like to see Al Qaeda fu*ked over. 

10- To you, what time is best the 80's or 90's, why, how do you see the actual scene? 
I'd say the 80's are definitely better because that 10 degree temperature change can reek havok on my genetalia when I stroll thru the streets in my plastic human-sized barf bag that I wore on the back picture of the "Safe Sex" LP Regarding how I see the scene, let me tell you that looking at my wet, damp pubes in 90 degree weather and having them resemble Rob Zombie's head is not much of a scene to look at. 

11- Will your record neww songs, will you keep your sound? 
Well, we actually recorded 12 new songs for our new album entitled "Sgt Leppers Falling Parts Club Band" - now available at http://www.IntensMutilation.com (did I mention that?). The entire process was expensive and, as a result, we've had to sell some of our assets. One of the assets we may need to put on sale is some of our sounds, so, we are not sure if we can keep our sound. We are looking to offer up a compilation of our copywritten sounds for sale in a package - sounds like the deafaning roar of our new Guitar Player "E3 The Extra Testice" scratching his nuts when he wakes up and the sound of Jack Sh*t reading bedtime stories to his two sons, CORNelius Sh*t and CORNwallis Sh*t. 

12- Any last comment? 
Yes - to the tens of thousands (...well, tens anyway...) of Intense Mutilation fans in Peru, when there's enough of you out there so that a couple of you will catch Fetus F*cker when he dives off the stage, we'd like to make a trip down and play live at one of those large, outdoor soccer arenas (in that space between the peanut vendor booth and the taco stand) where the throng of fans will join in, pumping their fists (hopefully, not towards my face) chanting "No Mas!", "No Mas!", "No Mas!" (...as I slowly turn hoping that Roberto Duran has just made his way on stage behind me). So, in closing, to my fellow South Americans, I say - "Viva La Raza" (which, I think has something to do with cleaning your razor blade with a brand-name paper towel...).
