BEATRIZ CARNICERO INTERVIEW

Beatriz Carnicero are a powerviolence band from Montevideo,Uruguay.They pick where Charles Bronson left off with a total youth crew sound while still remaining as dissonant as west coast bands like crossed out or infest.while they are a new band,they have the songwriting skills of bands 3 times their age.their debut tape No Reces (Opaqus rex.) is an absolute killer with tracks ranging from fast as fuck pv to 90's death metal grooves while not having one song exceeding over a minute.I emailed them last year and was contacted by their guitarist Dario.while it took a while to finally obtain(and eventually post),this is one of my favorite interviews ive conducted yet.enjoy.

36th chamber of thrash:When/How was BC formed?

 Dario:Beatriz Carnicero started in early 2010. We were not sure of what style we were going to play, but we wanted to play. Nico (bass) and I  (Darío, guitar) had tried to do something a long time ago, but never made concrete issues or ever played outside our rehearsal. We used to listen to a lot of music but with preference for extreme genres like death metal and grindcore. Marcelo had never played drums in a band, didn't even have drums. He listened punk and learned to play in the rehearsals. This combination of influences led us to powerviolence and some bands which are influential for us ...

36th:What are some of your infulences as a band?

dario: Bands like Infest, Hellnation, are perhaps the most influential in defining our style ... But somehow we also owe something to Ratos de Porao, DRI, Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, Napalm Death, Magrudergrind,and even Cannibal Corpse and Obituary,  though that´s less obvious.

 36th:what are some influences for you as a lyricist?

illegal grindcore at its finest.

dario: We haven`t worked much on the lyrics. The first year we were and instrumental band. We were looking for a vocalist, could not play and scream at the same time. During the first half of 2011 Christian took care of the vocals and Marcelo started screaming too. But there was not much lyrical work. Most of the songs had no lyrics until recording
NO RECES, in mid-2012.

36th:what are some good local grind bands from uruguay?

 Dario:As far as I know, there are not many grindcore bands in Uruguay. We usually play with punk and hardcore bands, which ultimately we are too.

36th: what are your plans as a band for the future?

dario: The purpose is always to play, not only in gigs, but also to get together and play, to improvise, to make new tunes. And then recording, and continue editing together with bands we like ... Maybe we will travel a bit more in the future. We have not played outside the country. We look forward to playing with friends from Argentina and Brazil. It is the most feasible for the near future.

36th: thanks for the interview,homeslice.

dario: Thanks for listening and writing to us. Greetings!
