Interviewed by Izan & answered by Xaphan WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR INFLUENCES IN : PLAYING GUITAR? I don’t have any. METAL OVERALL? Venom, Possessed, Hellhammer, Bathory, Destruction, Sodom, Kreator, (old) Slayer, Onslaught, Celtic Frost, (old) Mayhem, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, Beherit, Hobbs, Mercyful Fate, Impaled Nazarene, Havohej, Blasphemy, (first) Exodus, (old) Slayer, Bloodfeast, VoiVod, (old) Metallica, Dissection, Unleashed, Bestial Warlust, Marduk, Hypocrisy, Infestdead, Abigor, old Deicide, Pungent Stench, Morbid, Angel Corpse, Behemoth, (early) Morbid Angel, there’s actually very many. WHEN YOU PERFORM IN LOCAL VENUES, WHAT DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO THE MOST? Playing is what I look forward to the most. That’s the whole point of this band, we are not there to make friends and hang out, our agenda is to take the stage and unleash hatred and chaos. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE TREND IN METAL RIGHT NOW? Fuck trends! I don’t follow any trends even inside the metal realm. Trends are for the weak. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT MTV? I don’t even know what MTV is like nowadays. I have not owned cable for over 10 years now. But I’m sure it still sucks. WHAT ARE THE FUTURE PLANS OF THE BAND. Release the live CD “Black Mass Consecration” as well as the repressing of “Order of the Fly” on 12” vinyl. We’ll begin working on the next full length studio release sometime this summer. WHICH IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE CONCERT : PERFORMING? The Sacrifice of the Nazarene Child Fest. ATTENDING AS A FAN? Can’t remember, I’m always too drunk. DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO TALKING TO YOUR FANS ON A ONE ON ONE BASIS? I don’t look forward to talking to anyone in general. But for the most part it doesn’t bother me and at times it proves quite interesting. WHICH OTHER BANDS DO YOU LOOK FORWARD TO PERFOMING WITH, ON A REGULAR BASIS, AND WHY? None that I can think of. HOW LONG HAS THE BAND BEEN TOGETHER? The band has been together since April of 1999, so just almost 3 years. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE FOLLOWING BANDS? VENOM The best! The band that first introduced me to this path in 1983. ANCIENT Don’t care for them. BLIND GUARDIAN : Don’t care for them either. IN FLAMES : Or this one. SIX FEET UNDER : Again nope. DARK FUNERAL : Very good band, looking forward to seeing them live in May. EMPEROR : Old Emperor was great but I have not liked anything after Anthems. DARKTHRONE : Next favorite right after Venom. Darkthrone will always be the meaning of true black metal! METALLICA : Were great up until Cliff died even though “And Justice..” wasn’t all that band. But they have equaled shit since then. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. Fuck religion, fuck humanity and fuck you!!!
