Interview With Bloodsoaked

I Had Pleasure to talk with Peter Hasselbrack from Bloodsoaked.

MMP-At what age did you start playing music?

Peter - I started playing guitar at the age of 15-16 I think.  I had always been into heavier music and wanted to play guitar.  My first guitar was a shitty little Kramer but to me it was the best ever.

MMP-How did you start out as a musician?

Peter- After getting my first guitar and trying to learn songs from Metallica and others I had the chance to join a Thrash band called Deslok.  I played guitar and sang back-up vocals.  I was very excited to join Deslok and to be playing in a real band.

 

MMP- What bands are you influenced by.

Peter-Mostly old school Death Metal bands such as Obituary, Deicide, Pestilence, Sepultura and Malevolent Creation.  I like the simple bands playing simple songs with good chorus.

MMP- What year did the band start out.

Peter- Bloodsoaked the band start in 2006 with just me.  I added a second guitarist for a few months, it didn't work out so I went back to having only me in the band.

MMP- How many albums do you have out & where can fans buy them.

Peter- Bloodsoaked has 4 albums out now and they can all be bought from Comatose Music, iTunes and many other online places.

MMP- Who all is in the band & plays what.

Peter-At this time it's only me again.  For the past 2 years I had Joseph Darling on second guitar but he recently left the band.  I play the guitars, bass and vocals on the albums and the drums are programmed by Shane McFee.  Shane also mixed and mastered the last few Bloodsoaked albums

MMP-Where is the band located?

Peter-Raleigh, NC (USA)

MMP - What bands would you like to tour with?

Peter- I would love the chance to tour with any of the big Death Metal Bands (Cannibal Corpse, Nile, Behemoth) so more fans can hear and see Bloodsoaked.

 

MMP - Is there anything you'd like to say to the fans out there.

Peter- Thank you for all the Death Metal fans around the world, without you we are nothing.
