V: 你好Manuel很高兴见到你，非常感谢你联系我接受你们乐队的采访，我想这是你们乐队第一次接受中文杂志的采访，首先向所有的中国乐迷问好，Blutgore乐队成立于哪一年，Blutgore这个名字的含义是什么？
Hello Manuel nice to meet you and thank you so much for contacting me for an interview with your band, I think this is the first time your band has been interviewed by a Chinese magazine, first of all greetings to all the middle-aged fans out there, what year was Blutgore formed and what is the meaning of the name Blutgore?
M: 你好，很高兴Blutgore能接受你们的采访。我们成立于2023年。乐队的名字来源于德语中的Blut，意思是血和英语中的gore，意思差不多但听起来很残忍不是吗？这是我们最先想到的名字。
Hi it’s a pleasure from all Blutgore to have this interview with you guys. We were formed in 2023. The bands name comes from the german word Blut that means blood and the English word gore, it means almost the same, but it sounds pretty brutal, isn’t it? That was the first idea that came to our minds.
V: 你们乐队有多少成员？你们的创作过程是怎样的？能描述一下创作过程吗？
How many members are in your band? How does your creative process work? Can you describe the process?
M: 我们有四名成员，鼓手、主唱、贝斯手和吉他手。创作过程来自我们每个人，我们从很小的时候就开始听极端音乐，我们混合了我们的影响，从brutal death metal, slamming, grindcore, goregrind, death metal。这是一个高效的过程，因为我们有不同的想法，但都汇聚到同一个方向。每个成员都有自己的天赋并受到乐器或嗓音的影响，因此我们将彼此的想法融为一体。这是一个充满活力、快速而高效的过程。
We are 4 members, drummer, vocalist, bassist and guitarist. The creative process comes from each one of us, we have been listening to extreme music since we were very young, we mix our influences, from brutal death metal, slamming, grindcore, goregrind, death metal. It is an efficient process because we have different ideas but they converge into the same direction. Each member includes their talent and influences from their instrument or the voice so we mix each other’s ideas into one. It is a dynamic, fast and efficient process.
V: 你们今年刚刚发行了第一张EP专辑，这张专辑在录音方面非常出色，你们是在哪个录音室录制的？哪位工程师制作了你们的专辑？
You guys just released your first EP album this year and it was a great album in terms of recording, what studio did you record the album at? Which engineer produced your album?

What is the theme of your band's music about? What do you want to express through such musical themes? Do you have a lyrics section? Who wrote these lyrics and what was his inspiration?
M: 我们认为当你问话题时不仅仅是歌词而是音乐本身，因为你可以通过和弦、节拍和你的声音来表达事物。但我们试图在歌词中表达的主题包括恐怖、幽默、昆虫学以及与非常规主题或幽默相关的各种内容。
We think that when you ask about topics is not only the lyrics but the music itself, because you can express things though chords, beats, and your sound. But the themes we try to express in our lyrics include horror, humour, entomology, and all kinds of stuff related to non conventional topics or humour.
