We welcome guitarist Ben Liepelt from German death metal band Endseeker in this edition of IUF. The new album “Mount Carcass” is set to drop soon, and Ben describes how this album had everything from the sound and lyrical elements they have expanded throughout the bands timeline. They spent half a year crafting this album, and from songs about politics, comedy thematics, conspiracy theorists, to the infamous Pablo Escobear (yes, Escobear, and quite a story too) – there is that sense of fulfillment he gets when the ability to write about your ideas come to life. Speaking of which, life has come at the band in many ways, and Ben talks about how important it is to utilize the voice you have on your professional platform. It is what drives the passion, to play and sing about what influences the person. Ben also recalls his personal touring experiences before the pandemic, and what his biggest takeaways are that he can carry with him into the near future once the live show experience returns. Until then, they have a live stream planned around the new album release, and we ask Ben about the preparations for that unique setting. Tune in now and be sure to buy/stream Endseeker's new album “Mount Carcass” dropping April 16th on Metal Blade Records.
