Interview with Katherine Katz of Agoraphobic Nosebleed and Salome


And yes, she really is 5'1.

1. What was it like to join such a legendary band (by grindcore standards) as Agoraphobic Nosebleed?

Incredible. I feel very fortunate to be working with them. Not only are they talented, but they’re awesome people.

2. Agorapocalypse is the first Agoraphobic Nosebleed album to really feel like a complete and developed album. Was your influence the catalyst?

Scott wanted a shift in direction, not only with the music, but the overall attitude of the band. I wasn’t the catalyst, I just added to the change.

3. Is Agorapocalypse an indication of the direction that Agoraphobic Nosebleed is going to take in the future?

I guess, we'll see. Scott writes whatever he wants to write and loves to experiment with different ideas/styles. I don't think the band has ever been about fulfilling expectations

4. Looking at the promo pics for Agorapocalypse, you're a lot shorter than I thought that you would be. What's it like being this little blonde chick in two bands with a bunch of big macho metal guys?

Boys have penises and girls have vaginas.

5. Has your presence in Agoraphobic Nosebleed helped Salome gain more attention from fans and possibly record labels?

It has been helpful, but I think Salome has put in a lot of hard work for the opportunities we've achieved and has been focused on building on our own successes.

6. One thing that I'm surprised about Salome is that you have such a heavy guitar tone but no bassist. What's your secret?

Amps.


7. What do you think is next for metal in the coming decade?

More doom? Yes, please.
