Who did you work with on your “Self Armageddon” Album?

Psy: That would be me and Cell. It's self-engineered and produced. With the kind of stuff we do, we found it difficult to work with other producers as a lot of them don't understand the kind of sound we want. It's a lot easier to play with glitches and horrible noises when you have total control.

Cell: Why use other people when we can produce exactly what we want ourselves

What was the experience like?

Cell: I love writing new stuff and then changing it all around with Psy, the recording process is always a laugh

You obviously put a lot into your live shows and imagery, what kind of reception do you get?

S73: Usually, open-mouthed!

512mb: For new people who see us its usually stunned awe, but people come up to us thinking we're signed and stunned to find that we're not. The response I usually get is "How do you play with your gas mask on"? Well obviously I can, but I like to tell people my soul dies a little every time I play.

Cell: Ears bleeding and people shocked, one guy told us he knew it must be a good gig when he felt like his heart was going to be destroyed by the bass.

Psy: People are usually amazed when they see our show. Not many underground bands (that I've seen, anyway) bring a full light/laser rig that's programmed in time to the music. Then there's the costumes, warpaint and insane level of volume... We've been told it can be a bit overwhelming but why do things by halves?

How did you meet and go on to form the band?

Psy: Me, S-73 and 512MB Knew each other from way back. We were formed, as with many digicore-related things, because of the consumption of beer. We decided we wanted to do something a bit different - Digicore was born.

512mb: Well our old drummer told me that a friend of his wanted to start up an industrial metal band and knew I would be well up for it and that S-73 who I already knew was in. So we all met up in Cert 18 (old York venue/rock pub) got drunk and brain stormed. Then about Aug '07 Cell joined our ranks; he was a mate of S-73, and the debauchery continued.

Cell: I knew S-73 from previously working with him on sound techy stuff. When I heard the kinda noise that early Digicore was producing I knew I wanted in, and so moved up from Norfolk to get in on the action.

What’s been the highlight so far?

S73: There was Fibbers Battle Of The Bands, winning that was ace! Secondly, probably the discovery of mead... the vital Digi-fuel!

Psy: Not really a single event but just doing gigs, meeting people and having fun.

Cell: Any gigs, just the buzz of playing live is enough.

512mb: For me the whole experience is great, playing live, making new friends, the reactions from people. Awesome.

What music are you listening to at the moment?

Cell: Quite a varied mix of EBM, Trip Hop and good ol' metal.

512mb: Nothing in particular, I've been comatose to new music at the moment waiting for the emo rubbish to crash and burn, although I have been listening to old deftones and korn and NIN.

Psy: I've been listening to a lot of really horrible stuff like Pig destroyer, A.C. , Phobia and Wormed. Luckily it's not finding it's way into digicore... yet. Also Jamiroquai (they have great production) and let's not forgot the gods of heavy metal, Manowar.

S73: Quite embarrassingly, due to Radio 1, it's mainly chart stuff. I've been open to the merits of bassline (not the vocals though!)

Where do you get your inspiration?

S73: MEAD!

512mb: I'm just spontaneous...

Psy: I honestly have no idea. I sit down to write and sometimes it's great and I write some wicked material but sometimes it's utter shite. I wish I knew what it was that inspired the good stuff!

Cell: Just listening to as much music as possible, trying to analyse why I like it and then going about recreating the feeling I get when I listen to it.
