interview with UxLxCxM
What´s the name of your band? Undying Lust for Cadaverous Molestation (also known as: UxLxCxM)
How was the band formed? The 3 founding members played in a Death-Metal coverband but that was not enough...one day with many beers we decided to starft an own band, making own songs in the roots of COCK AND BALL TORTURE...one of our favourite bands! So we started to write songs and rehease in 2008.
Can you tell about your band? We are a 3 headed Gore/Porn-Grind Band from the south of Germany, a city called Ahorn-Hohenstadt and we love to make Goregrind. If you want to know more – just write us :-P
Where are all band members from?/Who does what in the band?
The founding members were :
Chris: Drums
Seb: Guitar /Vocals
Toni: Bass / Vocals
The members since 2012 are :
Chris: Drums
Seb: Guitar /Vocals
Falk: Bass / Vocals
What was the ambitions of the band when you started? We wanted to make the music we love and like to listen to: Groovy GoreGrind.
Could you explain your music to someone that haven't heard you? This is really hard, because the most poeple don't know goregrind or even Metal couldn't imagine what it sounds like...but if someone asks me and don''t listen to metal i only say „it's a very extreme and underground art of death metal“ i know it is not like this, but so i don't have to explain any longer and they stop asking , hahaha.
Where was your first gig? Our very first gig was at „GRIND MANIA 2“ in a town called Waldbrunn, on May 29th 2010
Where was the latest gig? The last gig was „GORECITY 2“ in Eindhoven/Netherlands on Jauary 31th 2015 with Gutalax , Jig Ai, Rectal Smegma, Tu Carne and Hymen Holocaust...was an awesome evening!
Who writes your songs?/Who writes the music who writes lyrics? In the beginning of the band toni, chris and me wrote all the songs and lyrics, some were written together in the rehearsal room some at home at the PC...and in theese days the songs and lyrics are written by me – seb.
Who has the best since of humor in the band? We all got nealy the same humor
What's good/bad with the band?/What genre do you feel you are?
The good of course: playing music/shows and travelling to very diffentent places.
The bad : our drummer often can't come with us to shows in foreign countries because of private statements - so we often have to play with a drum Pc because we have no other possibillities.
The genre we are in is Gore/Porngrind!
Why did you pick that particular style?/What are your songs about? Because we loved it! We listened to this kind of music years before and we loved the voices, the grooves and the blastbeats – the whole sound.
Do you write your own material or mainly covers? We write all songs by ourselves but sometimes we like to play some covers, too
Have you made any albums?/If yes what are they?
Yes, we got a
selfreleased full-length album called „UxLxCxM“ and a
Split-CD called THE BROTHERS OF GORE (w/ Pulmonary Fibrosis) released by RottenRollRex out

How old are you?/What got you started in music?
We are between 24 and 28 years old,
isn't it a dream to start a band of every child listening to rock/metal in the youth? :-)
At what age did you start playing? everyone of us started to make music as a little child.
How old were you guys when you first stood on stage? I think we were nearly 16 years
What year was the band started? We started with UxLxCxM in 2008
Best/worst gig you've played?
The worst gig i think is (always) the first, because you every show makes you better and better.
The best – i think GORECITY 2 in Eindhoven.
What places will you be playing in in the imidate future?
Upcoming shows are :
Weißenfelser Death-Grind Brutality
The Ranger Rock Open Air
Flesh Party Open Air
and we hope there will be some more to announce soon
Where have you played from then till now?
Of course a lot of shows in germany.
And also some in Russia, Netherlands, Austria, Switzerland and Portugal
Witch band is the best you´ve seen?
Seb: Cock And Ball Torture
Chris: Dying Fetus
Falk: Heaven Shall Burn
Is it always the same songs live? We try to chance the songs on our playlist on every show because always the same songs will get boring one day but of course we have some favourites we play very often.
Have you had any bigger tours from start to now? The Biggest one was our Mini Russia Tour with Gutalax but we want to plan something better for 2016
How big crowds do you usually play for? GoreGrind shows are mostly in smaller clubs (don't forget : it is an underground scene) so i think it is between 100- 250+ people.
What are the plans for the rest of the year? To get some more shows in different countries of course, some new merch
How do you get psyched up for a gig? There's nothing special : have some drinks, talk to friends, waiting till the time has come :-)
What are your goals with your music? To have fun on shows, bring out some material for fans and have a great time ( on shows, the travels ) get some impressions of countries we played
Is it easier to get your inspiration from older bands or from bands more modern? For me both is equal, the most inspiration is from other goregrind bands...doesn't matter if it is a new one or an old...i listen to something and in my mind the beat chances and i becomes a new one.
What are your sources of inspiration? Other Bands of course, most Goregrind and Hardcore
What's the first step when making a new song? This chances every time! Some songs i got a drum beat in my mind and after that i try to find a good for the guitar...other times i got a lyrics in my mind and think „this could be the chorus“ and then the rest comes from itself
How do you feel about the downloading of music instead of buying albums?
A long time a downloaded music by myself!
BUT only to check out the bands...if i didn't like the music – delete!
If i liked it – delete and search the original cd on a label or i buy it directly from the band.
In THIS way think it is ok...but all other ways destroy the music scene, and the goregrind scene is such a little scene, i hope that the people hold the truth and support their bands and buy the stuff and don't steal it.
What would be your dreams for the band? Of course to bring an album out that give the goregrind scene a new influence and make it a bit more interesting these days the shitty slam and brutal death „rules“ and to play on OEF.
Besides your own music, what genres and bands do you listen to? There are to much bands, so let's just say: a lot of gore grind and hardcore
When you are on stage, what do you fear most then?
Seb: When we have to play to play with drum pc and the crowd is disappointed about that
Chris: All kinds of mistakes
Falk: Sweaty hands – can't hold the plektrum. And cable breakes.
What songs and what years were they released?
The UxLxCxM Album was released 2012
And the Brothers of Gore Split was released 2014
Have you been in any other bands? Before we started with UxLxCxM we all played in diferent coverbands, but nothing special
What do you work with outside of the band and the music?
Seb: technical surgery assistant
Chris: Electronic engineering
Falk: Mechatronic
What would you do if there was no music? I can't say, because i really could not imagine this situation
How important are your fans? There are the most important, without them it would not make sence to make music
What's the funniest/most memorable thing a fan has done for you? On Coyote Brutal Fest 8 in Moscow a fan gave us his Mastercard as a gift...this dud was unbelievable.
How often do you rehearse? We rehearse once a week or maybe once in two weeks
Name 2 of your own songs you like at the moment?
Seb: I'm A Pornoholic, Ass to Mouth
Chris: Sack attack in anal action, Spermsaked Milkshake
Falk: Cock-Hunting Milfs, I'm A Pornoholic
What do you feel is the best live band you've seen?
Seb: Cock and Ball Torture - they go on stage, play their songs and you feel the power and intense of their music...they don't need any toys or masks
Chris: Dying Fetus
Falk: Out Bro's of Gutalax

Any pearls of wisdom for all other bands out there? Go on and never stop! Follow your dreams.
How do you view the musicindurty of today? Like everything the (commercial) music industy just wants to make money money money...fuck the rest....that is why we all have to support the underground band doing the shit all by themselves!!
What is best/worst with playing the clubs? I love playing in clubs...of course the space is limited but the spirit/atmosphere is alsmost better
Tell us about upcomming gigs and why we should be at them? We rehearse new material at the moment, so if you like our music you will be interested in the new shit, and of course theese songs are as bulldozing as the old ones - even better :-)
How would you describe your sound in one sentence Bulldozing
Anything to add? Thanxxx a lot for this interview, had a lot of fun and we hope to see you the next times on our shows. Cheers, UxLxCxM
