For starters, what bands were you guys a part of prior to From The Hellmouth? How long has the band been around?

Dave and I have been in Solipsist for 10 years or so, and Nate has been in the band for a couple years now too.  Our drummer Joe has been in numerous bands around the Cleveland area, and Allan has been both a fill in guy for my projects, as well as having many of his own.

I recorded the EP with Alan Cassidy (The Black Dahlia Murder) on drums before there were any other band members.  This started off as a studio project that became much more.
FROM THE HELLMOUTH has been a band officially for a year now, but we've only played a handful of shows.

What’s the origin of that name and have you changed the band’s name before?

FROM THE HELLMOUTH is the original name.  I had been throwning the name around for a couple years before I made the EP last year.  the concept began as a horde of demons that rise to destroy heaven, so FROM THE HELLMOUTH made sense.

Who writes your songs? What are the main themes or topics for most of your songs and do you think these topics will change over time?

I write all the songs and the rest of the band has their input afterwards.  The main themes discuss religion, guilt, and hypocrisy.  These sort of things provide an endless resource of song material, so we don't intend on changing anything.

What bands are currently inspiring the music that you’re making?

FROM THE HELLMOUTH is inspired by old school death metal bands like Death, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, and Obituary.  There are some newer elements in our songs, but we will only incorporate them into the songs if they fit, and fit well.  The old school sound needs to be preserved as much as possible throughout the process.

Was there a particular band/artist or concert that inspired you to start a band?

When I was younger, Acid Bath was a large influence.  As well as the metal royalty bands like Slayer, Megadeth, etc..

What do you do to prepare for a show? Any flexing, exercises, ect …

We typically just have a few beers before the show, but nothing beyond that.

What has been the biggest highlight of the band’s career so far?

Well, we've just got started, so ask again in a few years!

If you could tour with any bands, past or present, who would they be and why?

Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, or Obituary.  If anything, just to watch them play every night.  But really, it would be the perfect audience for this band.

Is there anything else you would like to add?

You can pick up a physical copy of our self titled EP on Bandcamp. Also visit us on Facebook for show announcements and more news at facebook.com/fromthehellmouth
