- Hi Kornel, thanx for your kind words man. Well, we've got mostly positive feedback, but some told us the production was too clean, haha. We recorded as usual at The Cripple Room studio that I own and run for a few years, then Jack (Bombnation, Mesrine) mixed and mastered it. Secrets?? Well, hehe, we just like to write songs that we like to play, I almost wrote everything as usual, Yanosh our ex-guitarist wrote the last song and Pierre (Vomi Noir, Blue Holocaust) wrote one too. I really think that's probably our best album, I mean I really think there are only good songs, with good riffs. As I told you, we write music to make it sick, but also to have fun playing them live and sharing with people during concerts.

- We have known Naru for a few years now, Obliteration Records has known for decades and I grew up listening to his records. I always wanted to release something on his label, he released our 4-way split CD with Embryopathia, Sulsa and Vulgaroyal Bloodhill to promote our Japanese tour in 2015 and that was really sick. But for our 4th album we wanted Obliteration and Naru agreed, that was perfect. I don't know how many copies Naru pressed, but we are almost sold out from our side. For the tape version I asked another old friend, Pedro of Larvae Records and bassist for Holocausto Canibal, Grunt. He did a great job on the last Rot album, so we decided to ask him and then the tapes went out and they look really great, as well I don't know how many copies were pressed, but if everything goes fast, no problem to press more I suppose. Last but not least, the LP version is at the factory and will be pressed soon, that will be released by the French label Sleeping Church Records, they also play in a doom band called Presumption and we used to share the stage together with my doom band The Bottle Doom Lazy Band, so they asked us if we were interested in releasing something on their label and here we go.

- As usual, Luisma was the man behind the sick artwork, he's the 5th PxFx member, well a part of the Pulmonologists for sure, as we have few more members now, haha. Well, I have drawn a sketch and sent it to him, but he came back to me and said it wasn't working, so he drew the actual artwork. My sketch didn't match at all, I mean Luisma tried, but it didn't work, so he had this idea and explained to me, man, look at the artworks from "Interstitial..." till "Pulmonologists" and they all follow each other, just logical. He also found the name of the album, as we used to have long titles, he said ok why not a short one like... Pulmonologists... then here it is.

- Well, you know we are still working on many releases, some are planned for years and delayed, but step by step they're all seeing the light of the day. Our split CD with Gangrene Discharge just came out and that was one of the easiest release ever done, Bobby is the best to deal with, in a week everything was done and that's a real pleasure to make a record on Regurgitated Stoma Stew Productions, he's a sick dude doing sick releases. Right before we've got our 3-way split CD with G.O.D. and Gourmet released by Sonic Bath Records, Grindfather Productions and Death by Digital, we recorded the instruments in Barcelona and the vocals in my studio, that was pretty fun and the bands on this split are old friends and really sick bands. The last release is our 3-way split CD with Oxidised Razor and Bowel Evacuation released by Diablos Records in Mexico, intros were DIY made by Samantha and they sound pretty sick. About the compilation, that's the 2nd volume of our discography, it still included raw materials, but less than the first volume as we used an 8-track minidisc. The 3rd volume is on the way, that is still the period before our first album "Organ Maggots". I also should tell you about the awesome one side 12" we released on Marc's great label Meltaaargh!!!! Records. It was mixed and mastered by Alex of Bowel Leakage at the Gravestone studios in Belorussia and the result is really sick. We also appeared on a Mexican compilation called "Short music for freak people" and it was released on Scum Records by our old friend Bixler.

- Hehe, yeah you're right, we have songs that we've recorded 2 years ago and waited to be released, but bands disappeared as the labels, so we finally found new ones and it should be out soon. I have recorded a session with only me on everything during the first months of the pandemic, the idea came from El Kaso Urkijo guys, then more than 1 year was gone and nothing. A French friend living in Barcelona was supposed to release it, but due to personal trouble he wasn't able to make it and we were waiting even longer. So we finally found a new label, I can't tell it right now, and then this split will be finally out and we are very proud to share it with that sick band, it will be Bisturí from Spain, one of the sickest bands ever and great guys. Next will surely be a split CD with our Brazilian friends and legend Neuro-Visceral Exhumation, it will be another sick release. We are also working on a tribute album, we'll pay tribute to bands we love, who influenced us and we hope to make it release for our 25th anniversary in 2023. As usual it will be recorded at The Cripple Room, the new version of the studio is on the way, but probably not functional this year.

- Yeah, in almost 25 years we had few members and line-up changes, but all members are friends playing together and having fun, that's the way. The official and actual line-up is Samantha on guitar; Simon & Adrien on vocals, Reno on bass and I on drums/guitar/vocals. Recently Wlad (Pendrak, Brainwashed, Faxe) joined us on a few shows and he'll probably do more when it will be possible, he's like a session guitarist I guess, but he's an old friend and the last shows together were great. We officially stopped to play live shows like everyone in march 2020, but we didn't really stop, we played far less than usual of course, but we had great shows in squats and parties in France, Spain and Switzerland. Then this year we played the first official show at the Anthems of Steel fest and a mini tour in Switzerland, Slovenia, Slovakia and Hungary followed last June. Wlad joined us on guitar and we were a 3-piece line-up, because Sam & Reno couldn't come. Next shows will be in Spain next week with the full line-up, then Bordeaux in France on 27th August in homage to Fred, our last guitarist/singer, who passed away in 2018. Then at the end of September and the first 3 weekends of October we'll be busy playing shows in France, Belgium and Scandinavia, we'll announce them soon.

- That's a very small town with around 1500 inhabitants, but that's the town of my parents, well they live around 5 kms from there, since few years I'm located around 20 kms from that town, that's where I also run my recording studio, 1h driving from the first big town, that's in the middle of nowhere. There is no scene, we are the only extreme band, there were bars in the past, but there was no show, just an old town event. Like 15 years ago we played a small open air fest in that town, there were rock bands too, then they started a fest where around 3000 people were coming, but that's all about shitty electro and r'n'b shitty music. They used to have rock bands and mostly pop music, I worked as a technician on stage, but stopped. The only music stores where in Châtellerault, 26 kms driving and I went there almost every Saturday, I visited mostly a small one with 2nd hand gear and bought the first PxFx snare, Pearl piccolo steel shell, that I still use in Embryopathia and few cymbals.

- You're right, we played in Kyiv in 2009 with PxFx & our other band Baptized In Vaginal Liquid. We started the tour in Banská Bystrica in Slovakia, then drove to Kyiv and toured Russia for a week. One of the craziest tours we did, that was only a one-week tour, but so intense because I drove all day with my van and played 2 sets each night, that was crazy, but I will do it again if I could, hehe. Well, I guess every band who played Ukraine must have only great times and fun, I remember Kyiv was so silent even with the traffic, the extreme opposite of Paris, which is the worst city I went too. Man, I really would like to be back in Ukraine and play shows, we were invited to play when we came back to Russia in 2019, but it unfortunately didn't happen. We just hope to visit that country again someday and hope for better days.

- Yep, lots of projects, but I have mostly had 3 active bands and it is still the fact. Baptized started to record the album… I don't remember when, it's been years now, but everyone left and I was alone, so I gave up, we spent so much time on this, songs were pretty technical, but members were lazy and more into the party. Malade Blague was an international harshnoise project, there is only one digital record on Torn To Pieces blog and that's it, dead. Corporal Abuse is my 2nd band I started in 2001 as a noisecore project, I wrote few songs that appeared on PxFx releases and then it turned into harshnoise in the vein of Merzbow, Gore Beyond Necropsy and Napalmed, I just released the 2nd album on Cataleptic Remains Productions, it's called "Space Control" and it's available as a nice digipak with a running time of 70 minute. The artwork was made by a Spanish friend called Joao aka JFKollages, Samantha is playing drums and other noise stuff on it too, we really had fun recording it and the result is really cool. I also play guitar in Rotten, which is an old school death metal band we started maybe around 2015, there is a demo CD/tape released by Bleed Records and we are working on the 2nd one. The line-up is made of old friends and bandmate, Cyril on drums (Trepanator and ex-Deep Vein, death metal), Djé on bass (the boss, ex-Deep Vein), Ben on vocals (The Bottle Doom Lazy Band, Sypnosys, etc.) and I on guitar. The Bottle Doom Lazy Band yeah, what a name haha, we have been playing together since 18 years I guess and we are probably one of the oldest French doom bands, influenced by Black Sabbath, Saint Vitus, Candlemass, Pentagram, Cathedral. The 4th album is ready to be recorded, fingers crossed, but we should start to record soon and play more shows I hope. About Embryopathia only Seb and I left, but Adrien should get back soon I hope, by the way we have recorded the album, I recorded the drums, most of the guitars and all vocals, Seb did the bass and few tracks on guitar, then probably record backing vocals asap, we have found a label and that will be announced soon.

- Well, thanx a lot for the interview & support. I really wish you all the best in this hard time, everyone in Ukraine and wish to be back to visit you all, cheers.
