Headquartered in Ermua, Basque Country the four members of the extreme metal band Cerebral Effusion −Kosme, bass and vox; Pe, guitars; Jabo, guitars; and Eihar, drums− are getting ready for their upcoming US tour, to start on June 13. There will be 13 shows in 13 days, the first stop being to headline the Las Vegas Deathfest: “It’s going to be a very special concert for us,” said drummer Eihar Unamuno to EuskalKultura.com.

Ermua, Basque Country. Cerebral Effusion’s music is not mainstream, nonetheless they have thousands of fans around the world. Like the 18K plus followers they have on Facebook, for instance. The band was formed 17 years ago and has launched 5 albums, so far, and has also toured, non-stop, mostly in Europe and the US. On June the 13th they will kick off their 2015 US tour, headlining the Las Vegas Deathfest.

“It’s going to be a very special concert for us. It is a honor to lead a festival like this in the US, it’s something we would not even imagine a few years ago,” says Unamuno. “It is undoubtedly the best reward we could’ve had for all these years of dedication and hard work. We will have a very complete set list for that day, and hopefully people will respond.”

And most likely they will, because the relationship of the band with the US dates back to its beginnings: all the labels they have worked with are American. “But it hasn’t been something premeditated,” explains the musician. “The cradle of Brutal Death is in the US, and I’d say that most labels are there, although the Internet has globalized everything.”

A demanding yet exciting tour

Thirteen concerts of Cerebral Effusion is a very physically demanding thing and, even more, if they are to be performed in thirteen days in a row. “But we are prepared and, as it is said, doing something you enjoy is never a chore.” Also, as Unamuno explains, “we’re thrilled to tour with all these bands we will play with.”

The band member believes there are “many good bands” in the Basque Country’s extreme metal scene. Nevertheless, he thinks “it’s not comparable to the American scene, because everything started there.”

Unamuno would like to see as many Basque-Americans –fond of hardcore stuff− as possible in their concerts and encourages them to attend their shows.
