Interview held on 23/10/2009
Made by Laurencce Martins and Lennon Seawulf
With Emerson Leik (bass) and Fernando Alencar (drums)


Fala galera session of Death Metal Culture in weight. Here is Laurencce Martins and today I am here with my friend Seawulf Lennon. Now let's talk with two members of one of the most legendary bands of the Metal Mining, created by 88 "Antichrist" (Sarcofago), which recently released the album "Drinks From Hell." I'm talking to Emerson Leik (bass) and Fernando Alencar (drums) the band Cirrhosis.

Lennon: So guys of Cirrhosis. For starters, as being the impact of the latest album from you?

Fernando: Man, the effect is being good, especially abroad. Our sound is more focused to the public in Europe and the United States. It has been very well accepted by the public.

Emerson: We realize the fanzines. The official launch (album) is only the 5th of December, with the guys there Obituary in Belo Horizonte. So from there we will already begin to tour to promote better. So far it is only through the zines for us is how the disclosure.

Lennon: We can see that Cirrhosis is one of the bands playing traditional heavy metal scene and mining Uberlândia, one of the oldest that is still alive. Down the road that you already have, as is the respect of others for you?

Emerson: The truth is that other bands always have that "rixazinha", right? We are more respected outside. This is normal. Uberlândia is a city that has many bands then the crowd starts to fray that every one wants to defend her. Outside one is more respected. Not to say that here we is not met, we are too. But the fact of having many bands, begins to have many quarrels and begin to close the space. How closed here today, is an example. It was for us to be playing here but now "cash" the people.

Fernando: It's not about "treasure." Not that we're going to mess up, but they have a little afraid of putting the people there (Jambolada 2009) and we delete them. Is something like this!

Laurencce: From what you perceive, you think this happens only scene has mining or everywhere? The events of Sao Paulo do not value the bands of Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais value bands, for example, this occurs?

Emerson: We exchange idea with a lot of bands out there with the crew from St. Paul's. The same thing happens here happens there. Where has this local rivalry. The band sticks out when you always have more respect.

Fernando: Regardless, the Cirrhosis is not rival anyone. Cirrhosis, man, it made everybody. For anyone that loves. And the people to the influence, willingly or not, this new crop that is emerging, mainly in Uberlandia. Banda there had already opened the show from us in 2002. And are there today (with the fights) ...

Lennon: Talking about the sound of the region, both as Uberlândia Minas, has a band that you think is emerging on the scene and indicate that you want?

Emerson: It's hard to talk here in the region here (Uberlândia) it has so much bandwidth and it would be wrong to name a few names and forget others. But the mining scenario, which is the strongest of Death Metal, are our friends in Belo Horizonte that are already on the road for some time. I would be unfair to say the names of Uberlândia here because there are many good bands. We respect and support.

Fernando: I would not want to name names, no, but has several bands here in Uberlândia praise we can do.

Lennon: Comments for us a little about the writing process and inspiration of Cirrhosis.

Emerson: Each disc Cirrhosis is a different phase, a different time. The letters and their sounds portray what is happening at the moment with each member. This reflects very strong songwriting. Some things we talked about before, such as alcohol and women, have begun to make room for other things such as' Guest of hatred existing in society and those things that seems a bit trivial but that is always present. Basically we enjoy more new compositions is a maturing of the band.

Fernando: Drinks From Hell, for example, is a song that shows what happens at the bottom of the human soul. The hell you live in the human being, more or less.

Lennon: What are the albums that you like and you take as an influence.

Fernando: Man, in a matter of influence I am open minded as hell. Then I hear from the Hard Rock to Black Metal extreme. But I would stress in my training the "Altars of Madness Morbid Angel, which is one of the albums that I hear more, like Carcass and Napalm Death. But I highlight more Morbid Angel is a band that influenced me a lot. Another band is also obtuary, who always had a great influence in my part of the composition.

Fernando: As a drummer, my first influence was the Vinny Appice of Black Sabbath. When I saw that guy playing at 82 at Live Evil, I decided to start playing drums. And then I had influence with Dave Lombardo of Slayer.

Laurencce: Guys, thanks for the interview. And to close, leave a message for the staff of the Culture in weight, for fans of Cirrhosis and the bands that are starting.

Emerson: We thank the Culture in the weight room. And what I'm talking pro staff is to believe in their dreams because everyone is able to be there where we arrived. Any band that is starting, and that "feeling" and that willpower will get you wherever. We'll leave a greeting to all who supported the Cirrhosis. And we also always there for giving support to what you need, such as new bands, I think it nice there.

Fernando: What I mean is this: we would need more unity. As there are, let's do what? The sun rises for everyone. We are here Cirrhosis is there and let's go ahead anyway, like it or not we are here.

Lennon: That's right, guys, thanks. Cirrhosis soon sending a new sound for us there!
Laurencce: Thanks staff and see you soon.
