The County Medical Examiners Interview

Dr. Morton Fairbanks of The County Medical Examiners took some time before hitting the stage with General Surgery last night to talk with Neutronium Core. He was joined by good friend Dr. Carlsson, guitarist from General Surgery (both pictured right).

In their own words, The County Medical Examiners formed in 2001 as a Carcass tribute band. Their goal is to respectfully continue the same early sound Carcass created in the mid-to-late ‘80s.

The Core: What have you been listening to lately?

Dr. Morton Fairbanks: I’ve been listening to the latest Lymphatic Phlegm and the new General Surgery a lot, as well as the new Agoraphobic Nosebleed.

The Core: In your clinical opinion, how is Grindcore looking these days?

Dr. Morton Fairbanks: I think the scene is only getting better. There are so many new, younger fans; more people than ever are listening to extreme metal right now.

The Core: How did it feel on stage?

Dr. Morton Fairbanks: Jamming with General Surgery was a high point. Joining one of my favorite bands to play one of my favorite songs—it doesn’t get any better. It’s given me a taste for the performance side of music, and made me consider playing some shows.

The Core: Is there any chance that a new TCME record is coming?

Dr. Morton Fairbanks: Yes, fresh material is being worked on now...

The Core: YES!

Dr. Morton Fairbanks joined the band in a brutal rendition of Slithering Maceration Of Ulcerous Facial Tissue, a goregrind classic from General Surgery's album Necrology.
