The last but not least of the three Gore Grind Over Europe tour bands unfortunately also agreed to do a little interview. Rectal Smegma are a bunch of nasty insane fuckers that party too hard and grind even harder. And they love grannies… Anyway, here are the answers, by vocalist Yannic (of all people…). Take delight in reading this closing feature of gory triptych, or die!
Hey Yannic, how’s life?
‘I’m doing great. Thanks for asking.’
For those not familiar with Rectal Smegma, could you introduce yourselves to our readers?

You guys have just released a new disc last year, what can you tell us about it regarding the recording process, record label, artwork, title and lyrics?
‘Our new record Keep On Smiling was recorded at the FJP Studio in Naaldwijk at the end of 2008, the artwork was done by JP, a mate of ours. We get our titles and lyrics from der unmensch, we give him 1 beer he give’s us 1 lyric. The record label that released Keep On Smiling is Bizarre Leprous Productions from the Czech Republic.’
What do you think is Rectal Smegma’s funniest song title, and why?

How have the reactions to the new album been so far?
‘Pretty good so far.’

What is the dumbest anecdote you can tell regarding the touring/playing history of Rectal Smegma?
‘Man….. we could write a book about that stuff but here are some cool ones.
We all got pretty drunk and I took a piss in a washing machine after the show because I thought it was a toilet.
The guitar player got 20 beers 5 minutes before the show but he was already so pissed that he dropped all the beer on his equipment hahaha!
The drummer got so drunk that he fell from his drumstool before the show even started.’
