I don’t know if this is a good idea or not, but there’s this journalist gorilla that loves grindcore that interviews bands out there, and he turned in the following chat with Manuel of Genital Masticator, a noisecore band from Spain. Very understanding fellows, they.
As I’ve printed the Gorilla’s email questions verbatim, please excuse the poor spelling and grammar. Remember, he is a primate, and thinks on a much simpler plain than humans. However, his pure heart and love for grind will hopefully keep you readers interested in finishing this piece.
Grindcore Gorilla: Genical Muphicater make Gorialla smile when in my ear. Music fresh like picked banana. Every song different and improvised to make gorilla fun. How improvisation linked with grind for Genical Minstucorter?
Manuel: Hey! We’re glad Gorilla likes our noise. It’s improvised and it seems we’re finding the missing link between us. It means a lot for us that such a clever animal likes our shit! Thanks, Gori. We loved hardcore, grindcore, noisecore stuff, then so we wanted to play it all fast and at the same time!
Grindcore Gorilla live in grind/noise forever ‘cause Gorilla know nothing else. How does grind/noise affect your brain this day? Noise apply to life like grind gorilla?
I’m stuck in a certain style of noise/grind, the early ‘90s, so that’s a derangement, innit.
What music would you human climb tree for?
For any old piece of early ‘90s music/noise/sounds that I can’t find in a shop. If it’s weirdo, extreme, crazy, or just original, I’m for it!

To make Gorilla growling and screaming like he never did.
Grind Gorilla get to high point in life when learn use bone as hit other gorilla. Where is high point of success feel you and General Mastincaper?

Dian Fossey Bad Pussy Smell? Will a mastucation fix?
Huh? My gorilla language skills are oxidised––I’m not that clever. Anything you ask: positive answer from us!
Gorilla have learn fear when fight shark cage in front many humans. Gimpenal Mastibator have strange/fun/crazy experience as band in unique part of world (Canary Islands)?
When organizers shut up/cancelled our gigs just when we began playing, to realize after us some noisecore bands in the area were called “Mentally Masturbation” or “Animal Reincarnation.” To shock people who never heard noisecore before was a great experience always.
Cadaverizer Records release banana flavored 7” of Grindcore Gorilla’s band.
Cadaverizer is dead, but I will release gorilla funny t-shirt for sure, hopefully a long play of a capella gorilla in the shower and me at bass/vocals in the kitchen would rule! Cheers and thanks for this!
