SplatterTribe: Introduce and compare yourself to something that lives in water.
|
Jerry:
I’m Jerry. I could be compared to Cryptosporidium parvum protozoa because I cause severe diarrhea if ingested.
(Tribe Note: Why is it every time I ask someone to compare themselves to something that lives in water, they always say
Cryptosporidium parvum protozoa? I mean, there is a whole ocean full of life and everyone wants to be a Cryptosporidium parvum protozoa. I don't get it?)

Cryptosporidium Parvum |
SplatterTribe: For someone who may not know who you are, tell us your many talents and what you do.
Jerry: I wish I had talents…I don’t. But I do a lot of things regardless. I play bass in the industrial band Absence of Faith and live guitar for industrial-metal / hip hop / punk / hardcore / techno / swing band Empyrean Asunder (although we refer to ourselves as “apocalyptic anti-industrial” to save space). I write 90% of Empyrean Asunder’s material as well as play bass, keyboards, guitar and program the electronics on most of the recorded material. I’m also in the middle of recording a dark pop techno project where I play keyboards and program electronics. I do non-musical things as well such as eat, drink, read, sleep, and repeat.

Empyrean Asunder |
SplatterTribe: I recently reviewed the new cd from Empyrean Asunder and as I was listening to it, it seems parts of it were making me feel really angry. I don't really know why. You have any ideas?
Jerry:
I wrote a majority of those songs while wearing a butt-plug shaped like a fist. It made me angry and that emotion manifest itself in the music.
(Tribe Note: Uhm, yep, that coulda been the reason. That definately would bring out some anger....... Manifestation da, da, da, Manifestation da, da, da, Manifestation da, da, da, Manifest.... Manifest..... da, Manifest.... Manifest..... Manifestation!!)
SplatterTribe: How would you describe the band Empyrean Asunder to those who may not of heard of you guys?

 Jerry 'Eroxthis' Barksdale

SplatterTribe: Can you make a sentence out of the following words or phrases?
Lotion

Jerry: Yesterday I ate lotion, a spoon, a Kiss Hotwheel, a hair tie and a key chain. Shortly after I had splattered matter in my pants. |
SplatterTribe: What comes to mind when you hear the words Splatter & Tribe combined?
Jerry: A run-on word “Splattertribe”
SplatterTribe: If Marvel created a superhero after you, what would your powers be and who would be your rival?
Jerry: I would be known simply as THAT GUY, my pee-pee would be strong like laser. My rivals would be that blindly patriotic Captain America and that other well-known comic book character known as Jesus Christ.
SplatterTribe: What's the first band or artists that comes to mind when I name the following 'genre's' of Music. I know music lines are very blurred now-a-days, but, you know, just see who comes to mind.
Jerry:
a) Death metal: Raped Ape (although that’s a bit more thrash)
b) Pop: George Michael
c) Industrial: Nitzer Ebb
d) Electronic: And One
e) Glam: Faster Pussycat
f) Country: Charles Manson

SplatterTribe: If you were to have your own Reality Show, what would it be called and what would be the subject of it?
|
Jerry: “Ignorance is Bliss”…it would be a full hour of walking around randomly asking Americans simple questions to expose how truly idiotic our population is. Subjects would include Constitutional History, Politics, World History, Geography, Science, Math and Religion…all subjects that Americans are blissfully ignorant of.
SplatterTribe: You have a question I can ask the next person I interview? |
Absence Of Faith |
Jerry: The laws of physics are not symmetrical. There is no symmetry between left and right, past and future and between antimatter and matter. What is the mechanism of violation in the postulated CP symmetry and what is the origin of parity violation in Weak interactions? What disrupted the symmetry in the first place? Is this violation explicable within the Standard Model of physics or is a new mechanism required?
(Tribe Note: Yeah , but that's been done before. you know? I need something more original and unique. I mean obviously a new mechanism is required.)
SplatterTribe: Songwriting Time, I write a two lines to a verse then you write 2 lines.
I got a mind full of Razors
And mouth full of nails
Jerry: I’m planning on building something here
But I forgot the hammer, so you’ll never know
(Tribe Note: That was beautiful. I mean really and truly beautiful.)
SplatterTribe: Who would you like to see featured on the Tribe site?
Jerry: Daniel Johnston, Mike Patton, Nivek Ogre, Kristoffer “Garm” Rygg, Beth Gibbons, Steven Leyba and Bjork
