Animals Killing People. Interview with Wilson Rairan

Interview by lorena Delgado

Good night Wilson Rairan. We begin with a review of the band in which year members are formed, their native countries, gender or how they call themselves.

The band was formed in 2004 by me (Wilson Rairan) on bass and Manuel Quique on guitar, both based in New York and originally from Colombia, Manuel at that time was the bassist of the NY band Secrecy and I had just left Copremesis, we decided to ask Edwin, Maybe ex Internal Suffering drummer, to play drums, and Alex Beck from Copremesis for vocals, after composing a few songs and brainstorming what we really wanted to do with the style. We decided that the best thing was for me to play the drums and let Edwin continue with his other projects and the same with Alex, so Manuel and I decided to record together our first EP in which I played the bass and drums, Manuel on guitar and Andres de Pustulated recorded the vocals for us, which came out under the Sevared Records label in NY. That was our beginning and what consolidated the band in the world underground death grind scene, there have been several lineups from that Keep listening to extreme metal and stop killing and eating animals. moment to the present and the current lineup is: Horacio Diaz on guitar and vocals, Maca on bass, Carlos Andres on guitar and I on drums.

I say hello and we start.

1 - How are they articulated to create the lyrics and musicality?

The lyrics are entirely created by me and are about how the band’s name says it: Animals Killing People and looking for the balance of all the destruction that humans leave behind, especially how they take advantage of animals, on the other hand, the music is created by everyone in the rehearsal room, each one brings their contribution to the creation of the music and sometimes each one creates their own songs or we bring the parts in the head and share it with the others and so on. they create other songs.

2 - What is the philosophy of Animals Killing People?

It is a Gore philosophy that seeks balance for animals, with them doing the same thing that humans do with animals, with the sole objective of bringing awareness and awakening humanity of how we destroy everything, starting with the innocent animals that they are trapped in our reality.

3 - What physical works have been completed?

We have our first EP called: “Human Hunting Season”, from which 2 runs were released and which is exhausted, we released our first full length “Kentucky Fried Killing”, followed by a Split CD with my other band: “Andromorphus Rexalia” called: Phylum Morph Apokalupsis, then we released our second Full Length: “Eat Your Murder” and finally our Last work, another split CD called: Maleficis De Saltu with the band Gorepot from Taiwan and at the moment we are working on our new album that we hope will be released in mid-2022, we have also been part of many compilations around the world.

4 - How can you acquire a physical job of the band taking into account the economic barriers of shipping to other countries, what do you think about this issue?

Our physical and digital works and other merchandise can be purchased at www.animalskillingpeople.bandcamp.com or also at: www.akpandromorphus.bigcartel.com and we have ver reasonable prices for all parts of the world.

5 - They expected such acceptance from the public since its inception and what has been the best event in which they have participated?

Well when we started we didn’t know how well received the band would be, but so far the reception from the public has been very good and we really enjoyed playing at the Obscene Festival in Czech Republic as well as that European tour in 2017.

6 - Future projects?

We hope to play many more festivals, in two weeks we will be playing SlaughterFest in Las Vegas, which used to be Las Vegas Death Fest and focus on releasing new material.

7 - Could Colombia soon receive Animals Killing People?

At the moment we do not plan to go to Colombia to play, I think two years ago we were there playing for the Abomination Fest, but if someone decides to take us, it is clear that we would go.
