Newcomers to the scene, DEATHCOLLECTOR, are one of the most eagerly anticipated and exciting prospects of the UK underground. The brutal death metal band may well be the 'new kid on the block', but don't let this fool you; the band comprises some of the most bruising talent going and the collective expertise of seasoned musicians in the metal world. With Kieran Scott (Ashen Crown, Grimorte) melting flesh from bone with his boisterous gutturals, none other than Andy Whale ("We're not worthy!") (Darkened, ex-Bolt Thrower, ex-Memoriam), Mick Carey (Zealot Cult) and Lee Cummings (Severe Lacerations), completing the punishing line-up, you're guaranteed a slab of hulking metal goodliness.
Leanne "Metal Maiden" Evans, Editor for Metal Temple, took the opportunity to speak with the maestros of metal to pick at their grey matter over the whys and wherefores of the roots of the band, chew over some of their previous music experiences, and salivate over the weird and wonderful memories of band life. Read on for a taster of DeathCollector – a metal aperitif if you will – for a touch of the profound, a fistful of top surface and a smattering of the inane; how in the hell does Scott Fairfax and a ham and cheese platter make its way into this interview?!
