Do your work, fuck it up, get gnarly, and write the sickest lyrics you can.” I have written a little bit of lyrics myself and there is definitely a quasi, outdated, anthropological motif going on with the lyrics. I just give it to Clarisa and say, “This is what it's about. Me, Dayan and Sam will write the music and then we'll have a song the riffs and the song structure comes out and then we let the song title and the theme of the song come more naturally. How do you construct your songs and what are some of your inspirations for this album?Ĭlarisa writes most of them and to be honest, a lot of times we come up with song titles that seem sick. Your lyrical themes are rather educational. It's not another full-length in terms of themes or anything like that, but it’s playing on the themes of Bushmeat. As splits tend to go, communication breaks down and bands get different deals, and it's just hard to make those happen. This was never intended to be a single release, we had a bunch of splits that were going to happen. It’s a miniature LP, which makes it even more confusing. I say that mainly because it is not quite the length that we would put a full-length out on. It’s just the darker side of humanity and the stuff that fascinates the Western world and all its grossness. It’s just supposed to be this gross vibe. A couple of people have asked me if it has something to do with Covid, and it doesn’t. I came up with the title around the same time I came up with Bushmeat, all pre pandemic. What does the new album title Wet Market signify, and is it an LP or an EP? Stream the whole new EP below as you read. Guitarist Dustin Ponkovilnius recently spoke with us about the band’s strange fascination and passion for apes, oceanography, and anthropology, the new album, and what the band has in store for its next album. On their new album Wet Market (which the band labels an EP due to the album’s shorter duration), Dipygus’s amorphous sinew of soot and grime compliment the band’s eerie guitar harmonies, well-placed-but terrifying, indecipherable vocals, skillful rhythmic syncopation, and a knack for generous storytelling ripped straight from a Marine biology lab manual. Its 2021 follow-up album, Bushmeat, garnered heaps of praise and proved that this band was onto something wonderfully bizarre. Formed in 2013 in Monterey Bay, California, the current lineup features bassist Dayan Weller, the appropriately named drummer Bog Stomper (Colby Metzger), vocalist Clarisa Bermudez-Eredia, and dual guitarists Sam Boodt and Dustin Ponkovilnius.Īfter releasing their MMXV demo and a Long Pig Feast EP, Dipygus finally released a debut full-length album Deathooze in 2019, creating a generous buzz within the underground death metal scene. Dipygus’s grotesque approach to songwriting and frequent use of disturbing samples is just as demented as their band name.
