Interview with Keith from Daemon Foetal Harvest


Favourite Beer?
Tooheys New

What is the motto that you live by?
I don’t really have one, I just try to sleep through everyday when that fails I just try to make it to the end of that day sane and in one piece. I guess you could make some sort of motto out of that.

When you were a child, what did you want to grow up to be?
I never planned on growing up. Being in a Death Metal band with such over the top themes helps me to achieve that.

Apart from metal, what other style's of music do you enjoy?
None. I don’t listen to much music I tend to just play guitar whenever I get the urge, if I do listen to music its anything that is as full on as I can find.

How did you come up with the name Daemon Foetal Harvest for your band?
The name actually came from an X-Files episode. The first couple of gigs we did, we used a sample to start off where Agent Mulder says “Scully this looks like another classic case of daemon foetal harvest”.

How would you describe DFH’s sound?
Classic Death Metal with a touch more melody and perverse lyrics.

What song on your recently released E.P. is your favourite and why?
I would have to say “Anniversary Rape”. It gives me a good chance to do some shredding on the guitar and with a name like that how can you not love it.

DFH is touring locally this year, whereabouts are you intending on performing?
We are currently planning some shows in Sydney, we have done some shows on the South Coast and hope to head up to the North Coast before the end of the year. We are contemplating whether to head to Canberra for a show or two before Extreme Fest.

You are currently looking for a new drummer as Daniel had to leave late last year due to interstate commitments, are there many people in the running so far?
We have tried a couple of drummers but no one has managed to keep up so far. The decision was made to invest in a drum machine for the meantime but we are very keen to find a replacement soon as we have signed to a label and want to start working on a full-length release.

What do you hope achieve for DFH from performing at Extreme Fest next year?
Extreme Fest will be an awesome event as there aren’t nearly enough extreme metal gigs going on. We are going to produce the most brutal show we possibly can so the crowd will welcome us back anytime.


DFH are one of the bands confirmed for Extreme Fest 2008 http://www.myspace.com/extremefestact.
