A decade or so in the making<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(2003) and very unusual to say the least comes <b>Humane Too
Sheeps</b>, a noise based experiment with analogue recordings that was once issued
but never in vinyl until now. The first side consists of two tracks taken from
the <b>Universum</b> EP, the other side is a lengthy hypnotic noise experiment that
results from the blending of two tracks into what superficially feels as one.
I’m a fan of dark ambient/ambient/analogue etc. etc. but this is akin to a stripped
down version of Richard Ramirez (?) rather than a drone/ambient/dark ambient
release so fans of ambient black metal Moloch and black metal Moloch can either
take it or leave it, I am the going with the former rather than latter here.</div>

By a stripped down Richard Ramirez I mean that the use of
random dissonance and almost music-like sounds is very impressive. There’s
actually song structure there that resonates as something that stems far beyond
anything guitar based, in fact it’s very death industrial/PE. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can hear metal clanking and other
swoops and wooshes of bass tones, and given that this is actual guitar blows me
away. I seriously can’t stop listening to it and being limited to 100 copies
this one should go pretty fast.</div>

friends with my partner L. Kerr in SHP. It's been easy to keep things going
since it’s just the two of us. We are all electronic based, so we get together
every so often and record some jam sessions. We'll then go back and deconstruct
the recorded material, manipulate it and start multitracking for songs. It's a
lot easier producing music this way. No need for expensive recording studio
time. We've been able to produce so many releases over the years using this
method.</span></b><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

formula we always use. As we age and gain more life experience it affects the
overall tone of the album. We never set out to say.. Hey we want this album to
sound like this. We just start engineering tracks and let a natural organic
process run its course. It is all based on intuition. Lyrics/Vocals happen last
in the process. I will listen to the tracks and let my imagination take me
where it will. I try to loosely stick with an archaic medical/occult theme. </span></b><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: red;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Probably my favorite moments in
our history would be the relationships we've formed with peers in the scene
over the years. Marco Corbeli (now deceased) of Slaughter Productions in Italy
was a big influence in the start. He released one of our early albums. It was a
collaboration with Richard Ramirez called<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Explorations Into Deviance</i>. Also hooking
up with Jason Mantis at Malignant Records was crucial to our career. He's
released 3 major albums of ours over the years, although we have released a
handful of things on other various labels. We consider Malignant our home base
and will most likely maintain a close relationship with the label for as long
as we can.</span></b><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

gravitated towards that type of imagery. I was really into Skinny Puppy in my
formative years in the 80's, also really into Carcass as well. I guess I've
always been pretty open minded when it comes to extreme music. I was into Metal
and Punk just as much as industrial as a kid. My mom worked for the Dallas VA
Medical center and would make me volunteer during summer break from school. I

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt;">SHP: You
really don't need a lot. Just a recording device and some effects pedals. A
synthesizer is a plus. We have ammased a pretty nice collection of
synthesizers, effects, samplers and stuff over the years. We use software to
record. Software to further manipulate and design sounds. We are sound
designers as much as we are musicians. But anything go's. Anything that can be
recorded and manipulated in the computer is fair game. The possibilities are
infinite with electronic music.<o:p></o:p></span></b></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: red;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">SHP: This album came together
rather quickly. I've been dealing with some heavy duty life changes over the
last 2 years. Going through a divorce. Reuniting with an old friend that
quickly turned into a serious relationship. Lots of moving parts going on in my
life. Some devastating, some fantastic. Music has always been an escape. A
release of anxiety, depression etc. When Shit gets weird I always have SHP to
escape to. I just let nature take its course and started arranging tracks. I'm
in a new place with a new set up.. Sold off some gear and bought some new..
This album literally poured out of me in less than 6 months time. That's pretty
fast from how it typically comes together. </span></b><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

stands out is Cancer Maiden. Someone very close to me found a lump in her
breast. Those were some very tense and scary weeks going through testing,
waiting and waiting for results. It was gut wrenching. There is simply nothing
to do but wait and wonder. Completely at the mercy of a Fucked up, cold and
indifferent medical system. The test came back negative.. Thank Odin! But it
was the inspiration for the track. The possibility something so insidious can
take hold of someone so beautiful and whither it down to nothing.</span></b><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

have the time or the energy to work on things that don't inspire me. It's
pointless to produce anything artistically without true motivational
inspiration. At this point in life I believe I've earned that luxury.</span></span></b><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I just literally stuck this into the tape player and
immediately was enamored with it. It’s dark-hardcore with a punk metal vibe,
sort of in a similar vein as Ride At Dawn and if the guitar were a bit muddier
I’d say it’s black thrash metal demo to be perfectly honest.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Opening with “In Fire” there’s slight angular riff of sorts
and the drums, then suddenly the thing rolls out from under me in a fit of ferocity.
I mean GODDAMN!!! There’s some fight in this little cassette! It’s full on
hardcore at this point. Then “By the Fang” comes in swinging with another
cavalcade of “AAAHH RRRRAAAAAWW” vocals and a barrage of drums. Sounds like a
raucous but to me it sounds like fun. They even bust out a thrash-like solo
that hits the mark. A lot makes me happy but not THIS happy. “Husk Life” is a
little cleaner, not by much though, it has more of a thrash riffage but it
breaks up the monotony with a hardcore blitz here and there so I’d say that
overall it’s a ripper and leave it that. What a voice though, this guy can
shout in this semi-guttural tone that amidst<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Grrrrrs” and words. The last two tracks are in a similar
fashion, outrageous, wild and raging.</div>

About as obscure as they come Anu is non-other than Chad
Davis (ex-Seven Foot Spleen, Hour of 13, Subklinik…) under the alias Drathrul.
The world is littered with his works yet each one is as unique as they come, so
when I had thought he was done with the project I got a bunch of tapes from
WOHRT a few months back with this one and this was a pleasant surprise to say
the least. I really enjoyed the EP <b>III</b> when it came out in 2011 on the same
label and was surprised that it sold out so quickly, even my version is the
downloaded version.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Much like the EP <b>Nighthymns</b> opens with an ambient track,
“Risen…” and to set the ambience of the album, which is wintery and soulful. “Winterfall
“ itself is one of the two ambient tracks in which subtleties of synth based
blankets of snow fall evenly as a few additional layers unfold underneath it.
Instantly I’m reminded of Moloch, with the half to full ambient black metal
that is reminiscent of harsh Ukranian winters. One could easily write this one
off as more one-man band bedroom black metal, but DON’T. With heretical
nihilating screams of angst amidst a bombardment of fuzzy black guitar that
cuts like ice against the cold bleak synth work, I can assure you that it’s
more than worth its weight in character alone.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The “Shadowlands” kicks in instantly with a tortured cry and
rattle of drums/drum machine into a torrential blistering cold. With so much of
this out there that tends toward the raw and/or minimal it’s amazing to hear a
release that is as composed as this. Take “Nighthyms” for instance where the
synth almost sounds like a celestial hymn complete with what appears to be a
chorus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then finally we end up
with “Enter the Chasm”, another violent outburst of maniacal shrieks amidst a
blizzard of buzzsaw guitar. What stands out the most here is the vocals are not
buried in or behind the mix, they’re out in front and prominent. If you want freezing
moonlit skies and desolation look no further. I hope Chad finds it in his heart to produce more Anu, the Encyclopedia Metallum says "split up" but I can't imagine him not producing more when he gets enough material together.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Steel Hook Prostheses (SHP) need no introduction and once
again are turning things up a notch releasing <i>Calm Morbidity.</i> As far as Death
Industrial goes these guys are dead on target with this psychotic masterpiece
of varied drones, synthesizer sounds, and extremely fucked up effected vocals. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Opening up with “Doused with Acid”, one of my personal
favorites, we have classic Death Industrial starting with ramblings of someone,
possibly a victim, and then a minute into it you get a heavy loaded background
of drone and whirring with the suffocating and terrifying treated vocals of the
killer. Whereas “Parathesia”, which is essentially nothing but drone whirs to
begin with, until about two minutes in and clanks of metal start knocking, it
tries the nerves, then the sound of someone there begins to creep in with the
black death eminence that likens to the sound of Lustmord/CMI Black Ambient.
While “Deep in the Marrow” starts in with an eerie drone and then leads you
down to an underground concrete bunker where an autopsy is taking while the
person is alive and awake, although drugged…heavily drugged, but still
conscious, the voice of death slowly renders something unintelligible amidst
the backdrop of synth washes and grim colors.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With “Cancer Maiden” it’s a stretch of whooshing nestled
beneath a spiraling industrial landscape of polluted static, vocals heavily
treated and going back and forth between several personalities in an effort to
distort the listener into a depth of depravity and unease.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And “Piss Prophet” is another
hallucinatory venture into the world of controlled chaos. Its circular pulse of
sonar and cloud of static are periodic and controlled but still manage to
unleash another sense of unease in the listener, the vocals again being a
central part of the soundscape, unintelligible, and an ending being something
along the lines of a krautrock (Cluster/Harmonia/Tangerine Dream).</div>

The overall level of malevolence here is heard and
insinuated more so than outright, as most of the horror is undeniably in the
vocals, whereas with HNW/noise it tends to be the reverse. If your looking for
things that tend to be heavy in atmosphere and composition you really can’t go
wrong with SHP.</div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Satanic Dystopia are
one of those chupacabra bands, a rare find as they are a definitive early black
metal sounding band from back when Celtic Frost and Hellhammer were only on
tape, Venom on vinyl and tape, no Norwegian scene or sound existed yet, and
Quorthon was only known to a handful of folks. So what you get with the Double
Denim Shotgun Massacre is a heavy violent thrash black metal with horror,
exploitation, occult film themed lyrics of a great death/ grind album and even
hints of real industrial (no oontz oontz or synth/ keyboard) buzzing effects.
In other words a shitstorm of razor blade hail and caustic tones to a
thundering rhythm of addictive aggression that's sure to make crave the slash
and burn of this cassette.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in; text-indent: -.25in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Hailing from the
UK, and with a deep penchant for gratuitous violence as much as the exploitation
and horror film genres, Satanic Dystopia wage war on the senses and unload 8
hollow tip rounds of black thrashing metal that’s pretty hard, even for the
uptight “old school” snobby connoisseur to deny heartfelt appreciation of…<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and would you really fucking believe it…?</i>
!!! We have those types in this type of metal realm now. And what’s even more
hilarious is that were Satanic Dystopia around in ’81 or ’85 they would have
been one of those glowing polished turds alongside Venom, Bathory, and the
Celtic Frost/Hellhammer output. People thought this stuff was noise and
talentless crap, even in many metal circles, but it turned out to simply be
tarnished gold that merely resembled a crusty fetid shit lump. So fuck the
superficial shit huffers that assumed flush this stuff than investigate it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>And if the cover
art and very Goddamn accurate description weren’t enough to give this release
some credibility to some still pinching pennies with their (tight) ass cheeks, it
also comes in a nice DVD case (pretty packaging always helps for some reason),
but because the sound is what ultimately matter most I’m posting videos below
for some of the highlights of this album.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

This tape literally just arrived, about 20 minutes ago to be
exact, and I so quickly unwrapped it, shoved it into the player, cranked the
volume up to an ear bleed inducing decibel level and let it rip…AND indeed it
is. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So far it’s a whole lotta
Deathstrike/Master hardcore infused death metal grime with a dirty little twang
of bass underneath the distortion haze, but I’m honestly getting a stinking
suspicion given the rattling bottom heavy thuds of rhythms and the overall
clamoring tirade that this is another Florida band like OV, IVES, Vomikaust,
etc. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just looked it up and indeed I’m correct about the Florida
roots, but definitely not because they sound like the Primal Vomit bands I’d just
mentioned.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Tyrants of Hell are
heavy, ugly, and muddy enough with the right aggressive punk scum tinges as
those awesome ragged shitstain bands do, but this Demo here is certainly more
of a very early thrash death metal infused with legit death grind (think
General Surgery, early Carcass) sort of thing. The vocals are more upfront
hardcore/thrash based, spewed and grunted, as opposed to guttural burps and
gargles, which makes me think early to mid-era Master and Deathstrike,
especially when served alongside these dense thrash rhythms which, although
still very distinctly hardcore derived carry the groove and push of fists and
slamming bodies, but with the mildewed grime thickener of tones that was early
death metal. So now with the meat and potatoes portion of this write-up
consumed I’ll start to belch up some of the afterthoughts (BTW, the tape is
already over).</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Overall the Demo is a killer thrill. I really love that
early death metal sound that gave so many incredible bands a lot of directions
to move in as most of those bands did not all sound the same, before it became
Incantation one-offs and contrived bullshit. It’s not everyday, or in my case
every year or two that a good new death metal band comes along that works
perfectly with my tastes. I guess the only downside for some here then would be
the shortness of the Demo which clocks in at under 15 minutes, BUT before some
of you begin to squirm away let me inform you that it repeats on both sides so
it’s a double-sided sort of single-sided tape which gives almost a half-an-hour
of listening (laughs). </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Just think
of it as a necessary to own 7” but you don’t have to repeat it or flip it every
5 minutes.</span></div>

You can’t go wrong with Richard Ramirez!! Many may try to
explore the terrain of HNW and fail miserably = put out a generic tape or two,
but for how many do you get the price of one guy and a billion solid aliases.
This tape is much of the same as you’d expect, a bunch of analog crackle and
swooshes of analog, BUT not so much when you break through the exterior. Unlike
most noise, HNW, artists Richard Ramirez dares to actually sculpt and layer
base elements into something completely coherent (at times) and dare I say
“musical”. Anal Drill is a band comprised of several members, the list varies
so I’m not going to say more than that it’s two or three, RR included although
according to Discogs it’s just him right now (?). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Filth (part1)”, imagine if you could a tidal surge of
analog, back and forth, back and forth, periodically swinging like a pendulum.
Underneath there is a bunch of complex sounds, some audible and some not so
much. It’s as if you were drowning amidst a sea of warm analog foam, twisting
and turning and calling out only to be heard as an anomaly, barely audible in
the midst of swishing and swirling. Occasionally a sound of screeching sheet
metal comes through like an oncoming train breaking, but can’t quite penetrate
the wall. </div>

“Filth (part 2)” has a feeling of uncontrolled chaos
underlying the cascading HNW walls of fuzzy and warm static. It’s like a
traffic accident going off and than the point of impact repeating over and
over. I hear metal folding over and an actual crash at some points occurs, all
the while it’s just underneath the static cloud wooshing and exploding
continually like a bomb detonating repetitively in an attempt to hold the
noise.</div>

Well the split lives up to its title with both bands infusing new
blood into some of their unreleased and classic songs remixed that definitely,
given the nature of both bands, represent their mystical and occult roots.
Ophidian Forest reminds me of a blend of early Satyricon and a VERY raw
Summoning on a superficial level. They first deliver the symphonic “Densest
Green” , an 8-minute raspy vocals and blistering echoing power chords amidst a
phantom mist. You can’t really get more old school black metal than “Densest
Green”, “Fear Bloody Wings” , and “Verschwiegenheit”…this stuff will freeze
your soul in an instant, especially the vocals on “Fear Bloody Wings” , which
almost literally feel as though they are some paranormal sermon evaporating as
spoken. There’s just this intangible texture to Ophidian Forest that is
spectral and cold, AND beyond physicality. Although Ophidian Forest only contribute three
out of thirteen songs on here, they still consume roughly 30 minutes of life as
they suck out your soul leaving the mind and body in a limbo of confusion. Very pagan and Very ethereal stuff!!!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The majority of the nine HoD songs on this split, the first
four of which are remixed from the earlier Dis demo, represent a more heavy crunching
guitar rhythm tendency that reminds me of the raging pulses and tones of
Horna’s <i>Sotahuuto</i>, early to <i>Blood Fire Death</i> era Bathory, Dethroned
Christ, etc. That true Heavy Metal meets black metal sledgehammer riffing combination
of tinny and distorted early heavy metal rhythms with speed and thrash
afflictions creating a vortex that is as nasty and maniacal as say Blood Feast,
and even bypassing buzzing swarms of just power chords cranked up on treble for
flesh stripping leads and actual rhythm progressions that embody “Kill”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Black Prophecies” is a good example of that just said, as
is “Choas Plague”, which really breaks up into an avalanche of addicting
rhythms sort like Immortal’s “Cryptic Winterstorms” or “Call of the Wintermoon”
with the lead guitar portions and vocals laid out in the front of the mix
giving them an extra sonic kick and clarity that really gives it a vicious
punch. Cernunnos (HoD) has not lost his touch for atmospherics though: “Manifestation”
is a classic semi-raw melodic atmospheric storm that will invoke flashbacks of <i>Denunciatus Cinis</i>, but still builds on
that template; “Wolfmoon” is a brief keyboard instrumental soaked in weird
electronic analog effects like a clip to a classic made-for-tv horror film;
“Blood and Souls” is a strange analog horror ambient that sounds like an EVP
during a paranormal investigation with some weird organ in the background; and
the grand infernal ending of “Circle of Sodomy” with that <i>Emperor meets cleaner production sound and feel</i>, including clean
chanting vocals, that adhere the haunting elements together into a possession
of the mind as much as the condemned soul. “Circle of Sodomy” is also
re-recording of “3<sup>rd</sup> Movement: Circle” from his <i>Overture</i> debut, which I will have to pick up in the near future.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With this split Cernunnos intended to revisit and reinvest
life into his early work and Demo period and ,in my honest opinion, was his
best period judging from what I’ve heard of them now and in original form. HoD should also have another
full-length, <i>Thirty-Eighth Sermon of the
Unborn</i>, out this fall as well so grab <i>this</i>
one…and <i>that</i> one…and the Demo….AND <i>Overture</i> if you don’t have it either!!!!
Ophidian Forest’s essentiality is self evident, i.e. MUST HAVE.</div>

This Argentinean band was sent to me by the incipient
Argentinean label, Witness Hell Productions, whose sole proprietor is involved
in the long running death metal band Prion and this alongside a few other intense
listenings has already made my essential black metal releases of 2012. This
Demo is brutal, epic, monstrous, well-produced, well-written, unique, stand on
it’s own and takes your head off with rusted pruning shears in the blood
curdling vocal delivery alone, whereas the rest of the band tortures your soul
with their own concoction of metal extremities.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Degraded to Mortals” is a soul raping opening track!!! The
black death doom assault is vicious and revolting, but they crank out some
really gritty barbaric doom riffs smothered in death metal tones that morph
further into hideous black metal territory.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Next comes “The Rotten Waste” which is truly a magnificent
beast!!!! The drums are very crisp and sometimes almost jazzy in their high
hat/snare work, the vocals are extreme doom death growl mildewed black and
reeking of “rot”; there’s a lot of eerie melody in long, border lining on
out-of-tune, stretches of atmosphere that remind me a bit of the angular
wailing Deathspell Omega guitar tones, and some claustrophobia inducing moments
of bastardizing chaos that makes me think of watching myself as I’m actually
burning alive while trapped in my car.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“A Philosopher’s Crown” showcases the similar Hellish
atmospheres as it’s predecessors BUT they have this great siren-like guitar lead
that I’ve heard in black metal many times before and loved, but it seems to
stand out so distinctly on here. The vocals are more blood thirsty apocalyptic
black metal than death, but the atmosphere is quick again to deliver a fatal
blow of hatred and leaves nothing in question in terms of want or need. If you
want something that is as grim as the cryogenic black hordes but as nefarious
and cutthroat as death metal can get all combined in a whirlwind cyclone of
mile high flames than Hellige is exactly what you seek.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Obnubilum” is a fourteen-minute hymn to treachery reminding
me of what the scene would look like after a nuclear apocalypse. It’s really
lonely and simultaneously explosive, sort of like the soundtrack of that moment
flashing back through your mind of the bright flashes of light and sudden
incinerating heat photographing bodies silhouettes in the surfaces where their,
now barely anything but fine ash bodies are strewn as the warhead actually
detonated. There’s that sense of isolation, unconceivable horror, and
vindication from all of those who died still trying to move on but can’t. The
planet is now a haunted burned out Hell still the third eyesore from the sun
and <i>this</i> is the sound of its murder
and vendetta.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Hellige's Bandcamp site doesn’t specify if this is a
self-release or not, but it’s a free download and stream, and it’s a nasty
black “perfect storm” of funereal black metal, black death, and black doom. The
hard copy can also be bought from the Kunsthauch Label for 5 Euros, which I’d
recommend as this is no way an average Demo!!! It also supports the bands and
small labels too, which I’m totally honored to work with and buy from.</div>

Sci-fi/industrial mastermind Ray Rivera, also behind such notable
black metal/noise/power electronics atrocities such as: Fellatrix Morgue,
Putrescent Fog, Anuus Altaar, and large number of others; brings us this 90’s techno pumping
muscular spasm meets sci-fi courtesy of Death Ghidrah. Loaded like a colon at a
chili cook-off with cheesy 50’s and 60’s sci-fi film samples and alien
apocalypses accompanied by an electro/techno base, this Demo is explosive and
deadly, but certainly not silent (….had to make a fart joke there).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“All Resistance is Useless” is a throbbing plasma of well
placed Atari-like detroit/berlin electro/techno beats and sci-fi horror with a
slight nod to Eye Gouging Mayhem (that same individual responsible for EGM is
also responsible for this monstrous damage).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Rebirth of Devastation” is an electronic powerhouse of
rhythmic pulses and robotic percussion with classic sci-fi horror film clips
sampled and mixed in with the arcade hubbub of squiggly bleeps and blurps with
an almost 80’s –early 90’s industrial feel (Front 242, Frontline Assembly,
Cabaret Voltaire, Revolting Cocks). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The third and final licking from the Ghidrah is “Nuclear
Pulse”, a song that fits the same MO as the prior two, leaves me feeling
cheated in that I just get into the groove and then it’s OVER!!!!! Aside from
the shortness of Rebirth… this is nonetheless essential and I REALLY look
forward to hearing a full length from this new project of his in the near
future. This seriously, without a doubt, some of the coolest shit ever!!!!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Recently I’ve been back into the cold majestic old ways of
black metal with revisitation of my Summoning collection, some Lutomysl,
Forteresse, Borgne, and now Moloch. Moloch is a solo artist from the Ukraine who has garnered a
somewhat legendary status over his decade long existence and for good reason
too. With the wailing and grisly emotional outbursts of vocals similar to 90’s
era Burzum, inundated with nebulous guitar buzz and the explicit tempo kept by
the drum machine songs like “Ein Dusterer Winter Kommt I and II” can’t avoid
being compulsive for those who genuinely love the classic black metal sound
that was atmospheric and bitterly aggressive.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Stiller Schrei Des
Winters</i> is yet another collection/compilation of Moloch material, but for
those who haven’t picked up every EP,Demo,Split,etc. of his then this one is a
solid must have as both an introduction and/or a way of picking up a few
unfamiliar and hard to get/OOP tracks spanning his still active career.
Sometimes his stuff is extremely ambient and rooted in pagan atmospherics and
instrumental passages like the epic 22-minute saga “Abgrund Meinnes Wesens” on
his <i>Illusionen Eines Verloren Lebens</i>,
but <i>Stiller Schrei… </i>skips over the
ambience (with the exception of two of the last few songs) and digs into the
howling distorted uproar of emotions and shearing buzz chord songs instead.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Listening to the ghostly symphonic hints on “Meine
Heidnisch-Spirituelle Reise Durch Die Walder Der Gefallenen” play out like a
soundtrack to a Robert Wiene film (<i>The
Hands of Orlac</i>, <i>The Cabinet of Dr.
Caligari</i>) blending the supernatural, psychological probing, and gothic
horror all in one feral mind fuck of a cocktail. There’s also a great acoustic
guitar sounding passage and thunderstorm clips that capture that sense of need
for isolation and self-introspection that is a Moloch trait seen in his song
titles and felt in his songs moods.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Other songs such as “Ljosalfaheimr” have a mixture of
Germanic expressionistic black metal that closely resembles a mixture of
Todesstoss and Dutch act Urfaust, maybe with hints of Xasthur on “Depressive Visionen Eines
Sterbenden Horizonts” or the dreary distorted instrumental “Sterben Unter Der
Blasse Der Unvermeidlichkeit”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last year WOHRT released the cassette version of <i>Der Schein Des Swarzesten Schnees</i>, long
sold out since but still available on CD, that made my best of list and was
also the release that fully engaged me in Moloch both sound-wise and
content-wise. Anything Moloch is an absolute must, but if you’re not much into
the ambient then grab the comps, but if you like the cinematic lunacy of: Xasthur,Todesstoss, 90’s era Burzum, etc.
then Moloch is an essential.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know for a fact (at this moment) Hells Headbangers has a
bunch of Moloch releases in stock including this one. Disclaimer: I do not work
for HHR in any way, shape, or form officially, aside from giving them my hard
earned cash because they have a massive selection in stock and the prices are a
steal is about as connected as I am to almost everything (laughs). I write
reviews, not ads. Forbidden Records also had a split in stock of his too.</div>

doing vocals in a death metal band with some friends, but he wanted to play

YKOF is an amalgam of a lot of morbid interests. KMD and I were friends foremost because we were both
long-time horror movie fans. This
was back before the ready accessibility of a lot of the most depraved films,
when you would expect Japanese subtitle characters on a movie if you wanted to
see it uncut in 4<sup>th</sup> or 5<sup>th</sup> generation dubbs from a
laserdisc. Movies with
zombies, cannibals, black-gloved killers, monsters, and over-the-top sadism and
carnage –<i> Don’t Go in the House, Anthropophagous, City of the Living Dead,
Torso, Maniac, Cannibal Ferox, Cannibal Holocaust, Zombi Holocaust, Pieces,
Tenebre, Bay of Blood, Mark of the Devil, New York Ripper, Ilsa, She Wolf of
the S.S., Coffin Joe</i> movies, <i>Blind Dead</i> movies, <i>The Thing, The Fly, Burial
Ground, Nightmare City,</i> etc. We
also had an abiding interest in books about serial killers, mass murderers,
cannibals, anything of that nature.
The collages from our album covers are based around these ideas foremost
– horror movie stills, catalog excerpts, and snippets from crime
magazines. As for bands, we draw a
lot of inspiration from Napalm Death, Regurgitate, Repulsion, Terrorizer,
Carcass, Death, Dark Angel, Celtic Frost, Unseen Terror, Mortician, Autopsy,
and many more. Raw and oftentimes
relentlessly violent music, which of course tends to be the YKOF template. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: white;">More
of an inspiration than a direct influence on any of our lyrics, but we’re both
big on Lovecraft. Sometimes just
the presentation of horror films is a big inspiration – the old VHS artwork and
the old press kits with great tag lines (like “The pleasures of the flesh, the
horrors of the grave” from Vampyres, “It’s exactly what you think it is” from
Pieces, and “The blood runs in rivers, the drill keeps drilling” from Driller
Killer). And sick humor in general
is something that informs a lot of our approach. Something bizarre and funny in a degenerate way, not
cartoonish.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"> DOTDR: I’m a huge fan of those films
you’d mentioned, especially <i>Maniac</i> and the <i>New York Ripper</i>. Currently I’ve been
on a HUGE Herschel Gordon Lewis binge so <i>Gore Gore Girls, Gruesome Twosome</i>, and
<i>Wizard of Gore</i> have been recent favorites. I also love <i>Bloodsucking Freaks</i> and
picked up the two-for-one of <i>Satan’s Black Wedding</i> and <i>Criminally Insane</i>, crazy
fat Ethel had me in tears that movie was so ridiculously brilliant <i>and </i>bad.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Insane</i> to me here recently, so I will be checking it out. He played me a clip where Ethel got to
hacking away at her sister. The
prolonged screaming was hysterical. That’s the kind of thing that has us thinking “sample.”
<i>Bloodsucking Freaks</i> is a depraved classick! We will have a song about that one soon, probably on the 3<sup>rd</sup>
YKOF album (<i>Horrorcaust</i>). I just
bought the HG Lewis BluRay with <i>Wizard of Gore</i> and <i>Gore-Gore Girls</i>, which are
my personal HGL favorites. They’re
both so over-the-top and morbid.

It threw in this intellectual/philosophical mind bender at the end that was a cliffhanger...it made you question the whole film again. I know that you have <i>Chainsaw Devil</i>
released, Bill hooked me up last summer/early fall with it on CDr, so how did you
come in contact with Bill and what are some of your future plans with NVS? You
also share members with Elders of the apocalypse, right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Wolves. I had sent him the YKOF
and Elders recordings we had done to that point, and he passed them along to
Bill. Bill turned out to be a
like-minded sicko and we were fast friends. He wanted to interview us for Mental Funeral and he wanted
to be the one to put out the EOTA album on NoVisible Scars. He’s great to work with and we’ll keep
doing releases with him as long he wants to. We will do our first one with YKOF this year,
hopefully. It will be called <i>Jackings in the Morgue</i>, a collection of
recordings we did in 2009 and 2010, demo tracks for songs that were ultimately on
<i>Chainsaw Devil</i>, a raw 8-track recording we’re working on now, and then one or
two alternate mixes from Chainsaw Devil.
This was going to be a CD release initially, but probably is going to
end up being a cassette. The cool
thing about the NVS cassettes is the cover art is more like a 7” EP, which will
be great for another collage. KMD
and I are both in EOTA, and the former guitarist of YKOF is also in EOTA.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

have more serial killer songs eventually.
I wrote some lyrics for one about Richard Chase for Cannibal Rites, a

Wonderland Murders on the next album.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">DOTDR:
Sadly no on Karla Homolka on<i> Deadly Women</i>, but she was the first case on <i>Wicked Attraction</i>. They had some real good
ones though, but their names slip my mind and Google is worthless. Casey
Anthony is a hillbilly tramp, but they won’t list some of the more gruesome
ones!!! I also recently saw the first part of the very first and only
interview with Dahmer in prison, but it played mainly off the drama between
his parents and very little on the
crimes or his reasoning…probably because his dad was there next to him, so I can't recommend that one. Definitely scope out <i>Most Evil</i>, that's one of the best SK series put to DVD!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Anyway now back to the main subject. How
did you guys come up with <i>Chainsaw Devil</i>? I personally love the horror clips,
but read a review that ripped on it while I was trying to find the track titles
to get a review going for it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: white;">YKOF: <i>Chainsaw
Devil</i> is an alternate title for <i>Pieces</i>, a movie that obviously deserves an
album title homage. I think I know
the review you mean. Some people
just don’t seem to enjoy the samples the way we do, but it was something that
we always liked on the Mortician, Impetigo, and Gut albums, to name a few. It’s our trademark to have a
sample on all of our original songs on the albums, and this will continue on
the <i>Horrorcaust</i> release when we do
that. My biggest complaint with
the review was that it described us a mix of Napalm Death and Cannibal Corpse,
which reads like some of sort of mad-lib blanket comparison by someone who
doesn’t know very much about grind at all. But at least he reviewed it. Most of the zines/blogs I’ve sent it to still haven’t and I
suspect won’t. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">DOTDR: Yeah, you’re way more in the
Mortician vein than ND and CC doesn’t even play into your sound anywhere. As
for most ‘zines, they won’t bother, they’re too busy reviewing Relapse titles
and the recent trend of dime-a-dozen hardcore/crust metal crap. It really sucks for good smaller bands and labels even. All that I get is PR shit most days that I try to ignore because it’s
the same stuff day in and day out, with few exceptions I haven't reviewed anything they've given me links to in months. Many bands that are on “better” labels that
can pay for a middle-man to push reviews and such are real dickheads to some of
us as well, it’s as though <i>they</i> are
doing us a favor by letting us like and review their stuff.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Also LOVE Pieces!!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Honestly, in
this day and age it’s nice to bullshit with people of similar interests. How do you view the current grind bands/labels?
I’ve found that classic labels such as Selfmadegod and classic acts like Squash
Bowels just don’t have it anymore, they’ve weakened their sound/standards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>YKOF: I’m sure it’s the way it usually is …
there are great bands doing crushing music, and you just have to get past some
uninspired grind to find it. That
said, most of what I have heard lately doesn’t impress me as being especially
violent or harsh, though. GRIND
CRUSHER from Norway deserves mention as a band worth checking out. We have a split EP coming out with them
soon.</b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: white;">YKOF: We’ve had plans to do this album for
several years, actually. It was
intended to be the 2<sup>nd</sup> album.
The first half of <i>Chainsaw Devil</i> was just meant to be a split CD on
Haunted Hotel Records, but the other band fell out of contact and we worked it
out with Ralph to just record some more songs and release it as a full length,
so <i>Chainsaw Devil</i> became our 2<sup>nd</sup> . (We underestimated just how much material we had for the 2<sup>nd</sup>
half. KMD somehow recorded the
drums and two guitar tracks + solos for that in one session.) Not much of <i>Horrorcaust</i>
is written at this point, but I think it is safe to say it will be more like
the 1<sup>st</sup> half of <i>Chainsaw Devil</i> than the 2<sup>nd</sup>. Most of the songs will be about some of
our favorite horror movies – <i>Burial Ground, Nightmare City, Torso, Maniac, The
Fly, Black Sunday, At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul, Jungle Holocaust,</i> etc. Probably between 20-30 tracks. Only one or two cover songs this time,
but one will definitely be Repulsion.
I hope we can record it in 2013 at long last. It should be the ultimate YKOF album. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

I'll send some images of it soon. Now back to grind bands and funny names. Over the last couple of years I’ve really
gotten obsessed with the Japanese grind stuff like Bathtub Shitter, Unholy Grave,
324,etc. I actually discovered Bathtub Shitter because of the name. It’s an
inside joke about an incident when I was about 3 and crapped in the bathtub
because I was playing with my <i>Gilligans Island</i> floating island tub toys and
didn’t want to get out to go. The very moment that I saw that name I knew that
I had to have/hear it!!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>YKOF: Haha…the former YKOF drummer Ultimo Z2K
shared his own bathtub shitting anecdote when he noticed the name in a Relapse
catalog. I believe his brother was
taking too long in the bathroom so Z2K had to improvise. I guess it’s a band name that really
speaks to a lot of people.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">DOTDR: Ha!!!!
I knew it wasn’t just me. They came up with that name for a reason too and I’m sure
it wasn’t because two words fit well together. Have you checked out
any of the crazy Japanese stuff? Their noise/power electronics stuff can get
really intense as well…lots of violence, sexual sadism, and fecal fetishes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b>YKOF: That’s something I don’t know very much
about, admittedly. Bill has
offered to recommend some choice offerings from noise/electronics to me, though
it’s hard to conceive of having the time to investigate. I just took on the role of mixing the
YKOF recordings and a lot of time goes into that now. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">DOTDR: I’d say start off with the weird
grind take offs of Vomitoma/Colostomy Filter/Anal Birth/ Gruesome Toilet/
Putrephilia/ Geist/ Brownfilled Human Race. With many of those acts there’s a
lot of mixing and sampling done that’s incredible. Maybe even venture into
weird grind styles like noisecore, I wholly recommend Finnish nut jobs Nihilist
Kommando and the US based Arseterror. That might prep you for the noise stuff
because it plays off grind and noise really well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Grind is horribly underrated and
misused as a label. Bands like Impetigo, Mortician, Carcass, Cripple Bastards
and the more technical death grind stuff like Malignancy and even later Carcass
are fucking amazing!!!! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Again I digress. So how is the mixing going and do you
foresee YKOF becoming more evolved in song structure? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: white;">YKOF: Cool, thank you for the
recommendations! I’ll have to look
into those. When you think you are
well versed on most everything that’s out there, it’s always good to discover
new avenues of sickness to explore.
The term “grind” seems to get thrown around a lot here for bands that
are no such thing, so it has become quite the misnomer. It’s weird how it has evolved that
way. When someone says something
is black metal, you have a very clear idea on what to expect. With grind, you could expect
Regurgitate and get Fleetwood Mac.
People don’t seem to know what the Hell they’re talking about. I’ve heard us categorized as brutal
death, which is even more inaccurate than “Napalm Death meets Cannibal Corpse.”
<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: white;">The
best word to describe the mixing is “painstaking,” haha. A LOT of trial and error. It would have cost us a small fortune
to experiment in the studio with getting the proper balance of sound in as many
hours as I’ve put into it, and still a long way to go. It’s so different for each recording,
too. I plan to remix the Elders
album at some point as well. I
think I can make it sound a lot better while still being very raw and
annihilating (e.g., being able to actually hear all the guitar riffs).<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: white;">More
evolved in song structure? No. Haha. We are not a structurally complex band and don’t care to
be. Very few of our songs evolve
beyond 4 riffs, at the most. You
may notice that though we repeat riffs, we don’t actually play them a lot. It’s very rare that we’ll play one more
than 4 times before moving to the next and coming back to it. It’s a way of trying to keep it from
getting boring while still hopefully making it something you will remember
hearing. Also, we don’t get to
rehearse our songs as a 2-man band.
Unless it’s an older YKOF song we played with the Aught Six line-up, we
don’t actually know how it will sound until we record it. We come up with riffs, agree on the
structure, and Sam might show me what he plans for the drums, but there is no
true rehearsal. You don’t want to
get too adventurous with that approach, but even if we had a full line-up and a
place to rehearse, we wouldn’t do it any differently. That’s just the style we like. It should be swift and shockingly violent, like a giallo
murder.<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

LFL is Japanese horror inducing, industrialized, distorted,

like a fire hose out of control. The drum machine sounds like machine gun with
a massive fit of “roid rage” as
the goopy pussing maggot worms of inhuman vocal sludge ooze forth through the
rotted esophagus eaten away with caustic acid erosion as the decomposing meat
spews forth fresh nauseating forms of life. Much like Arthropox, the feeling is
controlled chaos and fluid, viscous fluidity like that of curdling bile, and
something very insect/maggot-like, but here there’s a hint at power electronics
as well. Much of the actual sonic sounds are compressed and manipulated into
massive tectonic plates of fuzz that slowly maneuver back and forth to create a
colossal sense of anti-rhythm.</div>

I have no idea if this is really a Japanese based act or

Ataraxy are a young Spanish Death Metal band with a prior
sold out EP <i>Curse of the Requiem Mass</i>
(Memento Mori 2010) and now their first full-length <i>Revelations of the Ethereal </i>has been cut loose this month. I’ve
been listening to this one for two days straight and am completely infected to
the point of being ridden with disease from their sheer ferocity which stems
from a take on the old Finnish and Swedish Death Metal Scenes (two of my
favorites) with their own gruesome touch to stake claim in the cadaverous death
metal soil. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As expected given the whole Finnish/Swedish mention the
physicality of the sound here is indeed punishing, but unlike other classic
death metal styles that may go more for a thrash whiplash or a blackened
flagellation in tone and delivery, the punishment inflicted by Ataraxy is that
of being buried alive by molten lava = Incinerating, heavy, flesh searing, bone
evaporating evil spewing from Hell below. The vocals remind me of a mixture of
Paul Speckman (Master, Deathstrike,etc.) and hints of Chuck Schuldiner. As for
the rest of the band, they have the stylistic imprints of classic death metal
across the board from Swedish beasts, Finnish ghouls, to the U.S. masters…Ataraxy don’t imitate <i>they</i> emulate Death Metal bestiality so
don’t expect anything less than mandatory death metal here!!!!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This release just came out in September and Hells
Headbangers has their two other EP’s, <i>Rotten
Shit</i> and <i>Curse of the Requiem Mass, </i>so
check them out periodically for this to appear in their catalogue otherwise
it’s an import at ridiculous Euro prices if you’re in the Americas, but still
worth it. If these guys were around in the early 90’s they’d be legends so why
not give ‘em that deserved status now as they still annihilate most others out
there today anyway?</div>

<i>The Outsider</i> is
the second full-length from the lesser known Hungarian act Kolp, set to destroy
the light of day November 12,2012 with an addicting spin on traditional and
experimental black metal that’s impressive to say the least. I just heard this
album this morning and have managed to not only keep it in play, but
intentionally shun all others for the sake of keeping it in motion simply
because it’s <i>that </i>good. Kolp take the
A-melodic buzzing guitar sound that is standard for black metal and the black
macabre psychedelia of Xasthur, add some muscle under the hood with some diesel
motor rhythms that occasionally explode out from beneath the clanging percussion
and treble sonic haze, freezing poltergeist vocals, and in the end creating an
entire alter dimension beyond reality and the penetration of light.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sound isn’t new, but the way the album feels definitely
IS. Songs like the catchy laidback rhythmic sleeper “Drowning” just keep a
rhythmic hook going while the feedback washes back and forth like a tide over
it. There’s a nice shrill arpeggio melody present as well, but the dominating
presence is that main rhythm that just swings like a pendulum back and forth
hypnotically while you feel the swoosh of it’s mass getting heavier with each
swing. Eventually most the of the air is sucked out of the room leaving one
feeling like an air tight black leather hood was suddenly pulled over head and
tightened around the next like a noose, that’s how dark and intense Kolp can
feel on one of their more atmospheric endeavors. “Interface Has Dissolved” is
another addicting hook delivery with an infectious intro that cascades in time
with the calm- angry-calm-angry fluctuations in mood and tempo throughout this
songs duration keeping both the turmoil and the addictiveness at full strength.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kolp create something that avoids cliché and drone, creating
something that is dark and heartless, gray and desolate just like the cover art
but actually is more like a Charnel house or abandoned mental asylum, where
there’s a lot more treachery behind the grim and dead exterior than can be seen
or even heard and it <i>will</i> get inside
you and it <i>will</i> infiltrate your mind
for a while. The songs just stick to your skin like thick humid night air
comprised of beings that refuse to cross over.</div>

<u>DOTDR:</u> Hey Nick, I’m glad you enjoyed the review…the LP is
killer!!! So for starters tell me a bit about the history of the band and where
you are now.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><u>Nick:</u> thanks.
Very happy that you like the LP. In brief, the band formed in the early 2000s
by Lee Altomare and Bill Groody. I joined in 2004. We went through several bass
players until Jimmy Aly came along in 2007. We went through even more drummers
until Joe Branciforte came along in 2009. In 2010 Lee passed away after complications
from eye surgery, so needless to say that knocked the wind out of our sails.
But we picked ourselves up, for him just as much as for ourselves, and kept it
going. Jimmy switched to guitar, and figured out he could split the signal in
his guitar and feed one of those signals into a bass amp, dropping it down to
mimic the sound of a bass. So except for the sudden loss of our great friend
Lee, the line-up has been very stable. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>DOTDR:</u> Bummer about the loss but I’m glad you stayed with
it. Aside from the powerful sound of each song I also managed to read the
lyrics and was amazed at the writing (I tend to look through an albums entirety
once I get my hands on it). Are they actually meant to be like spoken word
poems? They read like a horror/crimescene description and some amount of true
crime confession but abstracted and love it, but what did you want the lyrics
to be about and how did you choose them?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><u>NICK:</u> Thanks so
much. I’m the same way when it comes to records. I’ve always had prurient
fascinations and morbid interests in addition to social anxiety and paranoia,
and find that the most satisfyingly potent outlet for them is in writing and
screaming. The lyrics emerge from stream-of-conscious musing, emotional turmoil
brought on by not getting who or what you want, and extreme cultures as
catharsis. I started listening to music at the height of the “alternative” boom
in the mainstream (listening to <i>Mellon
Collie and the Infinite Sadness </i>as I type this)<i>,</i> where the music was catchy but also had a morosely existential
quality to the attitude and lyrics… it felt like it was okay to be a nihilistic
outsider, so I still carry that mentality with me, even though it’s now status
poison. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>I feel like our
music is a composite of everything we love about underground metal/punk/noise
etc., so in that respect the lyrics are a collage of every kind of writing I
like. You mentioned true crime confessions and crime scene descriptions already
(reading list: <i>the Shoemaker </i>by Flora
Rheta Schreiber, <i>the Limits of Sanity</i>
by Larry Still, <i>Lustmord: the Writings
and Artifacts of Murderers</i>). I’ve been fascinated by crime and serial
killers since I was about 10… right around the time the serial killer trading
cards came out. I’m interested in the psychology of these individuals, how they
view themselves and the world and I find that sometimes it crosses over with my
own views… though I have no intention of killing. I adore experimental/
transgressive literature more than most anything, the kind that combines
visceral terror and hardcore sex in poetic fashions (reading list: <i>Tomb for 500,000 Soldiers</i> and <i>Eden, Eden, Eden </i>by Pierre Guyotat, <i>Cows </i>by Matthew Stokoe, <i>the Eyes </i>by Jesus Aldapuerta). <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>I choose the
lyrics after the music is written. I write all the time, so I always have stuff
to pull from. I’ve only tried once to write lyrics to the music, and it was
embarrassing. I get a feel for the song and find words that seem appropriate.
As for the particular lyrics on <i>Desired
Level of Unease</i>;<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>MARBLE HUSK:
lyrics came about right before our first west coast tour in early 2010. I
hadn’t been on the computer for about a month, and killed the time by watching
the Biography Channel and reading about Herman Nitsch. A special on Richard
Speck and images from Nitsch’s Aktions swirled in my head and these lyrics came
out of the drain. The opening lyric “this is not a message of hope or
reassurance” was actually from Jimmy Carter of all people. We’re not a
political band, but I thought it was funny that a president said that. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<u>DOTDR:</u> SHIT Nick, now you got me wound up and excited with all of those subjects you just threw out there!!!! As
per the alternative boom…my favorites are still: AIC-<i>Dirt,Facelift, Jar of
Flies</i>, Pearl Jam-<i>Ten</i> (fuck anyone who didn’t get the seriously political and
brilliantly emotional lyrics), all of Soundgarden up to and including
<i>Superunknown</i>, anything Butthole Surfers, and Smashing Pumpkins-<i>Siamese Dream</i>.
Everything changed for me though when I first heard stuff like exodus, Testament,etc.
Most of the 90’s for me were a mixture of death rock/ real goth/industrial
after ’96 then back to metal in the 2000’s fully. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><u>NICK:</u> yeah I’m
with you on all that. Not too big on Pearl Jam, but I dug all the other stuff
you mentioned. Billy is really into a lot of that, especially Soundgarden.
eventually that burned itself out, and I sought out heavier things.. that led
into discovering underground metal. In the late 90s the bands that got me into
that were Neurosis, Eyehategod, Soilent Green, Brutal Truth. It just exploded
from there. I was into a few death metal and black metal bands big time, but I
really loved the weird metallic hardcore bands like Starkweather, Rorschach,
Human Remains, Integrity, Bloodlet, Unruh, Cattlepress… I still listen to all
that kind of stuff regularly. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>There’s this
sick band from France called Kickback that is in that vein. Their last two
records are unreal. I loved those bands because they were heavy and all that
but were also genuine outsiders in their presentation and aesthetics, even in
their own genre. That really had an impact on me. I also like a lot of the post-punk, no-wave, death rock, and
noise rock that took place between the first wave of Punk in the late 70s and
the Alt-Boom of ’92. shit like Laughing Hyenas, Jesus Lizard, early Melvins,
Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Naked City, Boredoms, Big Black, Swans,
Brainbombs, and on the goth side Christian Death, Fields of the Nephelim… I
could go on forever. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>DOTDR:</u> Big
Black!!!! I love that stuff, Shellac is pretty good too, but not quite as
essential as BB though. Steve Albini really had something great there!!!! For goth/death rock stuff Christian Death, Sex Gang Children, Alien Sex Fiend, Fad Gadget really did it for me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><u>NICK:</u> his post-Big Black band Rapeman was
cool. Anyone into Godflesh or Minitsry or that whole era of 90s industrial
metal needs Big Black – <i>Songs About
Fucking </i>in their collection. I love a lot of that 90s industrial metal
(Skin Chamber, Dead World, Spine Wrench). Swans pre-<i>Children of God </i>is also a must. That style of heavy industrial
seems to be coming back in a new way with bands like Sewer Goddess, Author and
Punisher, Circle of Animals… I love the bleakness of that sort of stuff. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>DOTDR: </b>Yeah, the Play it again Sam/Wax Trax was an addiction of mine alongside Skinny Puppy, Frontline Assembly, and a billion others as well. I do LOVE Sewer Goddess, Spine Wrench, Diseased Oblivion, the heavy industrial stuff was sadly missed on my end as well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In terms of out similar interests, the serial
killer stuff for me was a weird fear that I had growing up, I showed early signs of a sadistic personality disorder, but somehow I managed by sheer luck to go the other way, or at least keep fighting to stay there. Sometimes though, I have to fantasize while angry about vengeance to vent my frustrations and those images can be pretty nauseating, it does make me lift more and run faster-longer during my workouts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Serial Killers are interesting because I understand them to a
certain extent as well, minus the sexual thing though, it’s the anger and
adrenaline rush, the psychological toll that you can take on a person (that,
as I know first hand, can be worse than death because you have to live with it
every second, especially when you close your eyes it'll creep up on you the most). How these
people become what they do…is it nature or nurture or both? Why am I fairly
well adjusted and successful as opposed to them but we had similar urges? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Biography channel is great!!!! I don’t have it, but
through Netflix I’ve been watching several great series: <i>Most Evil</i> (so good
that I bought it), <i>Disappeared</i> (fascinating look at real unsolved cases of missing
people), <i>Forensic Files</i> (own it too, the Serial Killer one is great because it
goes through the forensics used to catch ones that we never hear about as they
are recent and less gruesome, but just as interesting from the psych. stand
point), and <i>Deadly Women</i>. I seem
to spend my “watching time” on true crime more so than films these days.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><u>NICK:</u> books and
the Bio channel are the best place to go for true crime. Films never seem to
get the real stories right. There was a good movie recently called <i>Dear Mr. Gacy </i>that was an adaptation of
the fantastic book <i>the Last Victim</i>.
There are great serial killer films, but the ones that are fiction seem to
always be better than ones based on real killers. Like <i>Maniac </i>is invariably a better film than <i>Ed Gein.</i> Although Van Bebber’s <i>Manson
Family </i>is fucking brilliant. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>I’m pretty
nihilistic about almost everything, but one thing I do believe in is Chaos. You
can psycho-analyze these people and their acts, and there may be some truth to
the notion of upbringing molding these individuals into what they become, but
then you have to look at people who come from a similar if not worse
environment who flourish, and others who come from good backgrounds who do
unspeakable things. Some people do make a choice, others can’t help themselves.

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><u>DOTDR:</u> Absolutely!!! Maybe it’s the
science/math nerd in me, but the universe really does tend towards chaos, aka
entropy, and humans are very much prone to this. It’s not to say that there
isn’t direct cause and effect or some sort of fate, but ultimately fate changes
with every passing increment of time and we are open to take any path. Nothing
is ever set, it's our reactions to things that continually change our courses.</span></div>

that guy and have most of his stuff form <i>Mondo Trasho</i> on VHS, <i>Pink Flamingos</i>,

from some cult film place online over ten years ago. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><u>NICK:</u> Well
Korine is sort of the waifish hipster version of John Waters. His films are
entertaining, though, and I think the first black metal and noise I ever heard
was in <i>Gummo. </i>I gotta like a dude who
put TWO of the most fucked up Bethlehem songs ever on his film soundtrack,
especially in 1997 when no one outside of this subterranean non-culture knew of
the existence of such music. <o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

have his books, saw his live stuff, AND even have an autographed copy of a mag

on the Divine is a take off on the dog shit eating scene at the end of PF,
fused with the idea of perverting things that are considered sacred or simply
culturally admired. Hell, in some countries public farting could land you a
jail sentence and/or beating, so who’s to say what’s “sacred” let alone
“normal”.<b><o:p></o:p></b></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><u>NICK:</u> it’s
amazing to me that the guy who filmed an overweight transvestite eating dogshit
now has a hit Broadway musical of one of his films. But that’s what great about
him; he never changed who he was or what his interests were, yet somehow he
managed to find incredible success. I guess it’s the “spoonful of sugar”
theory. He’s so likeable and personable and speaks with such joy that you sort
of just come over to his world of human monstrosities. Maybe I’ll learn that
someday. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<u>DOTDR:</u> If you're looking for some great serial killer books then I highly recommend you get <i>Serial Killers The Method and Madness of Monsters</i>
by Peter Vronsky!!!! I got this one for X-mas some years back and read the
entire thing in two days and it’s about 1.5-2 inches thick. Vronsky was a
freelance documentary/video journalist who ran into the Times Square Torso
Ripper and Chikatilo before they were caught even!!! It’s such an animated read!!!!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><u>NICK:</u> I’ll look
into that one. I’ll read anything that you’ll find on an FBI Watch List.

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>DOTDR:</u> That'd be great actually. I’ve always wanted to find and talk to people who actually have weird
perversions like feces and such. I used to work on my junior college campus
before transferring to UCSD as a teaching assistant for chemistry and my boss
at the time told me some wild story. She went to UNLV in the 80’s to get a
masters in business, she’d spent most of her career up to that point working in
banks and was working at one of the major ones in Vegas and going to classes at
night. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She said that every
Monday the line to get in the bank would be wrapped around the block before
they opened and was mostly prostitutes and “entertainer/escorts” depositing
wads of large bills into their accounts. One day one of them felt compelled to
tell my boss during the deposit about something interesting that happened to
her friend that week/end. Apparently Engelbert Humperdink has a fetish that
creeps the women out so the hotels have to mask him as a client and the prices
he will pay are ridiculous as a result, but he HAS to have it. It turns out
that he has a large glass table and pays the girl to shit on the table and rub
herself in it, completely naked, while he jerks off lying directly underneath.<b><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><u>NICK:</u> That
sounds like something he’d be into. I mean I don’t know much about him, but I’m
never surprised when you find out some big star is really a degenerate
libertine. It makes them a lot more interesting, and it puts a new spin on
their body of work. The silent film star Clara Bow was into bestiality and
incest. A more recent example would be Mel Gibson. You and I remember him being
hailed as “the sexiest man alive”, but today he’ll best be remembered as this
verbally cruel sadist who makes these fetishitistically violent films that are
supposed to be testaments to his spirituality, which makes them even more lurid
and insane. It’s the duality of L.A. in corporeal form; the glamour and
material wealth layered over a city teeming with violence and sex. </b> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>DOTDR:</u> The whole Humperdink scandal actually
sent a panic wave through the adult entertainers in the city/county for some time
too. Just the smell of someone taking a shit makes my vomit reflex kick in.<b><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><u>NICK:</u> It just
seems so messy. It doesn’t really bother me that much, as long as I don’t have
to clean it up. They don’t show that part in scat porn; the clean up. It’s just
*plop* then fade to the next scene. Like cumming on a girl’s face in real life
is no where near as hot as in the movies. In the movie, her eyes are wide open,
she flicking her tongue, begging, lapping it up etc. in real life her eyes and
mouth are clamped shut, like she’s bracing the pus-launch of a lanced abscess.
Then you have to find a towel, clean her off… just kills the moment. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u>DOTDR:</u> Yeah, it's definitely an aversion of mine. I once worked at a local healthfood store chain my first year in college and had to clean up after some old lady with dementia wandered into our womens bathroom, dropped her diaper and shit all over the place. Being the only girl on the closing shift I was stuck cleaning it and I almost cleaned out a weeks worth of digestion doing so, I CAN'T handle the smell. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, speaking of banned books and oddity novels.I recently
took an art class my graduating term and came up with the idea of carrying a
camera with me to take pictures of peoples plumber cracks. I see peoples cracks all
the time and it’s seriously nasty!!! I thought it’d be great to enlarge all of the images
of just the butt and pants (to avoid legal issues) and present it as a wall
covering or “installation piece” titled “Crack is Whack” or “Smile…Your on
Candid Camera”, maybe it'd be a good book too?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><u>NICK:</u> That would
make a nice coffee table book. I think calling it just “Smile” would be more
mysterious and artsy. Some girl that was friends with Joe said she wanted to
take pictures of our feet during one of our shows. That’s what she did; took
pictures of musicians’ feet. I think she said she just did PJ Harvey. I don’t
think she came out to our show, but then again no one does *rimshot*. </b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

through the label Petite Soles (there’s feet again) (<a href="http://petitesoles.blogspot.com/">http://petitesoles.blogspot.com/</a>).
Fair warning; the 3inch is a complete noisecore release on our part. We
recently slapped together a CDR sampler of material from recent releases (and
one cover tune) called <i>Pornography.
Satan. Abuse, </i>and we’ll be doing a little sprint of East Coast dates in
mid-October. We’re looking to hit the recording studio towards the end of the
year to put several new songs to tape, one of them hopefully being our first
tried-and-true attempt at a doom song. Next year we’re planning to hit the road
a couple of times and maybe get a new record out. And last but not least we

<i>Forgotten Future</i>
was originally released in ’10 as a cassette on the Universal Consciousness
label and is now seeing it’s well deserved vinyl installment in 2012 courtesy
of Prison Tatt. In true PT form the MLP is a one sided black record with a
silkscreened sleeve, but the artist also threw in a fingerprint of his own
blood on the playable side and some drippings on the smooth side to up the ante
a bit more. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Please don’t expect anything suicidal and depressive
sounding based on the bloodletting, as Lord Time is nothing but purely
homicidal and sociopathic and best described as black metal for serial killers.
Each song is a morbid blast of sonic blackness, sometimes accompanied by a bludgeoning
bass and percussion storm underneath and song structures that are loose but the
sound itself is mechanical and inhuman. To me I hear maniacal rants of torture
and ecstatic confessions of abhorrent deeds, gritty punkish razor blade guitar
shrieks for chords, and no melody whatsoever-just utter necrotic insanity. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you can stomach the abstract and often harsh sounds of
Glass Coffin, Wold, Bloodulv, Smoke, Sutekh Hexen, and Black Funeral with the
raw punkish black metal stomp of Dethroned Christ, early Darkthrone, early
Immortal… then Lord Time is a solid choice to pick up. Limited to only 200
copies, you’d better get one quick.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Too many of you reading this Behexen are no strangers to
your conscious mind whether it be namesake and well deserved respect and
notoriety, their ancient but ever progressing ugliness in sound and content, or
both. Regardless of where your
coming from on Behexen familiarity make no mistake in thinking that this is
anything less than a grotesque monstrosity of combined evil, cryptic, epic,
intellectual pursuits with the clear production and incredible craft that takes
a black metal (or any metal release for that matter) to that unimaginable depth
that becomes like a possession of haunting of the mind and body where it’s more
than a mere “listening” experience.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Behexen do not entertain they stimulate!!! Their use of the
A-melodic (anti-melodic) guitar tones in conjunction with the clean trebly
buzzing powerchord rhythms they sound legitimately inhuman and traditional
black metal but rather than banging around creating chaos with them Behexen prefer
to create solos and structures. You can certainly feel the rhythms honing in
for the kill like buzzards of Hell hovering around you as you suffocate on your
own feces as a result of being handed your self righteous pretentious ass
literally on a platter on every song, but with “We Burn With Serpent Fire” the
band steps things up a notch with the lead/solo work that creates an additional
injection of horror and intensity that one cannot get from most raw and
clamorous bands in the genre (of course I love those as well, but for different
reasons). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Luciferion Will” feels like the 100+ degree heat burning
around me with this heat wave, there’s no wind at all and the heat just sucks
the life out of me like being cremated alive. The combination of arpeggio leads
and a strong echoing vocal chorus effect from behind the mix makes each song
such as that mentioned and now “Awaken Tiamat” feel as if the album is
climaxing as if the Devil is being called upon and arriving for the true
awakening. The “behind-the-mix” vocal style has always been a favorite of mine,
but with the clean production and the spacious feel of the arrangement of all
of the sound elements the atmosphere is even more compelling. The fact that
“Awaken Tiamat” is an actual anthem that’ll incinerate the uninitiated from its
sinister heat doesn’t hurt either.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whatever you’re in the mood for Behexen deliver it here:
solid metal leads, well placed and memorable solos, varying rhythm structure, a
clean and artistic production that creates something cinematic and degenerate,
and a traditional black metal sound all the way through that’ll appeal to fans
of the style across the board. Trust me, straight on forward down the shaft of
shattered souls from the pulverizing “Wrathful Dragon Hau-Hra” all the way to
“Kiss of the Dark Mother” you’ll be burning in Hell <i>and </i>burning others with you. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Let me put it to you another way: They typically can’t make
a great supernatural/demonic horror film these days so I stick with classic
like <i>The Exorcist</i>, <i>The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari</i>,<i>Let Me In</i>, and documentaries with re
enactments of the hauntings and
the victims narrating them, and albums like <i>Nightside
Emanations</i> to give me my thrill.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Horror Infernal is a compilation of the bands: “Crushed
Existence” Demo ’96, “The Storms 1997” Demo, and “Violent Intensity” EP ’99;
that inflicts a sledgehammer blow of
malevolent and atrocious thrash that simply reeks of old school death metal with hints of Sodom
(including a cover of the immortal anthem “Outbreak of Evil”).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>“Crushed Existence”
Demo 1996<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From the word “go” this Demo begins to dig the knife in with
the opening “Crushed Existence” that has a bit of early Mayhem infused with
early Sodom that is a buzzing prison raped thrash rhythmic throng with a
Swedish death metal tone. The sound of this band is that of a rogue chainsaw
wielding psycopath, possessed by a demon, cranked up on crack, on an unstoppable
rampage as anything in its path is shredded and/or pulverized as if run over by
a tank. The raspy larynx abuse vocals growl and exude pure “NECRO” being
inhuman as they are, especially on terrorizing anthems like “Undead”,
“Paralyzed By Persecution”, “Threshold of Decay”, and the title track…in other
words this entire Demo is a scene of mass murdering chaos. These Swedes also
like to throw in some sharp razor blade leads and some short dicing solos to
polish off the massacre and truly liquefy thy enemy. Again, there’s a definite
Swedish Death Metal tone and intensity to this first 4 song bombardment so
expect heavy and punishing unearthly blast and roid rage aggressive tempos as
you are physically thrown into the next set of beatings with <i>The Storms</i> Demo opener “The Last
Remains”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>“The Storms” Demo
1997<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The slaughter continues with the annihilating neck breaker
“The Last Remains”, on which the bass tones are subdued on this songs in favor
of straight ahead chainsaw buzzing thrash insanity, but they make a come back
on “Operation Clean-Sweep” so death thrash fiends will be back orgasmic spasms
once again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For me personally, <i>Crushed
Existence</i> got me fired up with its filthy tunes drunk with bloodlust and
bitter outrage but the next Demo didn’t feel as nasty and sort of lost me
briefly, but it’s mainly due to a lessening of deep throbbing assaults and
somehow feeling looser. Thankfully they put me in a chokehold once again with
their final assault via the <i>Violent
Intensity</i> Mini Album.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u>“Violent
Intensity” Mini Album 1999<o:p></o:p></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Instantly I’m set on fire with the sonic spark of “Haunting
Death”, a cleaner thrashy version of “Undead” that still burns like chlorine
gas in ones eyes taking a stench of Sodom and twisting it further into depravity.
“Perpetual Dormancy” is another stomping thrash tantrum with outstanding nods
to death metal including the infamous pig squeal!!!!! The rhythm on “Perpetual
Dormancy” sounds like someone being violently and repeatedly stabbed, in other
words it’s a soundtrack to a fit of homicidal rage. The murderous sadism and
nitrous powered tempos continue to unleash the sounds invoking the apex of
human committed atrocities with “Mental Terror” and the shrieking leads of “The
Storms”.</div>

The album is available in the U.S. through Shadow Kingdom
(and “no” I don’t work for them, although I spend my paychecks on that damn
site), Hells Headbangers, and probably many other label store/distros. I love
this label (I Hate) and have been lucky and honored to be able to work with
them closely for a few years. Please check them out if you haven’t already and
look into some of their catalog, they release nothing but solid metal releases
that they stand by 100%, not what sells at the current moment.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">DOTDR: Thanks for agreeing to do this interview, I know that
you’ve been off and on the radar for some time and am glad to have caught up
with you because Dhmapyr is an incredible find for me and I know that Prison Tatt
really stands by it!!!! Can you tell me a bit about Dhampyr’s history and
present state?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">H: Thank you for your interest in the project - it's
certainly worn<br />
me down a bit the past couple years, so your kindness is gladly<br />
accepted (though I, and many others, I'm sure, may dispute your<br />
sentiments!). I started Dhampyr sometime in late '06, though it really<br />
could be '07, or maybe anytime later. I had discovered an ecstasy in<br />
depression, an "even" tone, and Dhampyr was a way of giving that<br />
knowledge some explicit presentation. The earliest releases were, on<br />
the whole, pretty terrible, and I regret many of them; the artist is<br />
unusually dishonest with his work until he plays the part of the<br />
observer, and only after his eyelids are dusted and he's finally<br />
permitted to sleep. A great deal of art is just sleeping it off.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">DOTDR: That’s an interesting and very genuine perspective to
have. I actually liked your early stuff on the website, but I hate my artwork
as well regardless of how much someone else loves it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The thing that really stood out to me was the haunting
atmospheres that were cold but also shoegazy and warm fuzzed psychedelia. What
was your state of mind when writing and recording White Fire Laudanum and how
do you view it in hindsight as being reflected in the songs?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">H: White Fire Laudanum is a curious record, musically and<br />
ideologically. There was absolutely no structure to the recording<br />
process - as it were, I don't remember recording it, and there's a lot<br />
that I would change given the sobriety. I had shown the record to my<br />
drummer, Ronald, in fragments, and he'd work in some beat or another<br />
to enhance the sound from the lousy drum machine I was using; the<br />
drums on the record are as basic as they are skillfully calculated;<br />
everything was in order and truly intentional. Each song was written<br />
and recorded alongside the instantaneous consumption of a different<br />
drug. So, the album became successively more difficult to produce as<br />
the sessions drawled on. It didn't help that I shot up dope in between<br />
all the drugs, either.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">DOTDR: Since drugs play such a huge part in the record and
consequently the band, would you be up to noting some of the ones used for a
specific song and how that might have created it? The sound you have has a
different vibe then most others in the style.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">H: I began by consuming a very fair portion
of absinthe, in the traditional French complexion, which was succeeded by a
bottle of good wine. I had ingested four tabs of lysergide several hours
earlier, so the effect was most welcome. "Delerium Tremens" was, at
bottom, the only coherent thing I produced throughout the big sick
fuck-carnival I was sprawled into (I remember at the height of my acid
psychosis Bill Fay came walking into the room, holding a snifter of whiskey, and
I recall most distinctly that Bukowski was playing the piano somewhere in the
foreground of the hallucination. Or it was probably the other way around).
"White Fire Laudanum," the following track, was modeled around a few
very basic minor arpeggios, and there's a little denouement where I'm playing
some sloppy power chords or something - that was because my nose was
babysitting a couple good hits of cocaine, and so the tempo naturally blossomed
into something a little more "amphetaminic." Then onto <i>de bonnes choses -</i><i> </i>heroin,
benzos, barbs...more wine. The vocals were a virgin madness; whether I had
actually sung any words, I'm still not sure. The vocal styles change as the
album progresses because there was so much shit lodged in my nose, and clogging
my throat, that I was unable to perform my usual high notes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I know that you’ve had some recent personal troubles, do you
think that you’ll write more songs as a result?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">H: Honestly, the whole thing seems so ephemeral, and, this
being the<br />
first time I've actively discussed the band in this kind of setting,<br />
so silly; I do lots of drugs. If I had a drug for all the nickels I've<br />
spent on drugs...that being said, I can't write a song anymore unless<br />
I'm on drugs. And when I'm on drugs, I sure as hell don't want to<br />
write a song. Yossarian has always had my greatest sympathies.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">DOTDR: Again because drugs are such a huge part of your life
and music, I’d like to ask: What got you started using in the first place? I
tried stuff in my teens to deal with things like depression and anxiety induced
paranoia, but I just never got into it.
I also hated the smell and taste of pot and it always aggravated my
migraines for some reason, I did acid and shrooms twice…acid was bad news for
someone in my state of mind, and wound up being medicated on prescription
opiates and alcohol off and on for 6 months or so courtesy of a friend of mines
mom who had an unlimited supply and knew how to control it well through dosage,
but never made it a habit or became addicted. Every time I got money, which
wasn’t too often, I’d blow it on albums, I’d rather starve than not buy an
album.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now given your recent sobriety do you think that you’ll ever
release anything again?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">H: My sobriety went backpacking a long time ago; I
get a postcard every now and then. If I can find the right motives, maybe suck
a little on the teat of the muse, then probably. The problem is, I'm not an
"artist." I'm a wizened drug addict campaigning this rotten,
phlegmatic music to score drugs - and fuck if I've even sold enough to buy a
gram of hash! As most will note, my recordings are all peculiar and removed
from a central tether; there's no consistency. Every demo, EP, album has a
different sound. And almost all of those "sounds" are thematically
terrible. Shit, there's stuff floating around the internet that doesn't
even exist! "Back Wards, Blue Rooms," for instance, is somehow an
acknowledged release, despite its not having been, well, released. That was the
first full-length. I recorded it back when I didn't wake up with needles
laughing in my arms. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">H: Regrettably, it's nothing fancy. The musical process has
always<br />
been a particularly unromantic thing for me, and I'm never left<br />
wondering divinely at my creation. There's always that sense of<br />
loathing when you inspect the final product, always that lingering<br />
question - where the fuck did I put that extra chromosome?</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">DOTDR: Ha…honestly, artists like you tend to create the best
stuff, and by “artist like you” I mean those who create without pretense.
Whether you’re stoned or cold sober, it comes down to being as real to yourself
as you can and let the rest of us deal with it. So many artists, especially in
black metal like to play the “fuck off” misanthropy card and build themselves
up on image. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">H: Well, thank you! Truthfully, I don't have the
patience nor the capacity for pretense - it's difficult to hold onto any
species of agenda for any period of time when you're only focused on the next
fix; to paraphrase Mlle Green Gables, it "leaves no scope for the
imagination." Black metal isn't a "dark item," anymore - I'm not
sure it ever was. The misanthropic bits are usually scrapped together from
outlying philosophies or play-acted. I would rather read over Sartre's <i>Nausea</i> than
listen to a Mayhem record, for example. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: #444444; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">H: You would think taking five 50mg zolpidem at 9:15 AM would
be a good idea. No, no, you wouldn't. That's an awful idea. My lips are hot and
bound like a book, unable to wring them apart. What great volumes might I have
sequestered in the bowels of my mouth! Lost psalters and Mesozoic propaganda
and the snowflakes that Bob Dylan savored on his TONGUE, was really the
beginning of folk. He was a Highway 61 Snowman. And he played his icy frets -
do we visit him, no, down on ol' Highway 61? There used to be a snowman there,
but now Bobby's 71; ain't got time to dally, ain't got time to rest, but folks
say of an old snowman sometimes passing by on Highway 61, but he's old and his
branches and fingertips are overrun with vintage play. And Leonard Cohen's
Tower of Song was really nothing but a twinkling little tree, on which we
placed a folk-wet snowman, who every once in a tangerine dream would play a
poor little ditty, reminding us of the grottoes, the banks, the levees, and the
highways. And Michael from Mountains would come down to celebrate too,
alongside his sweet Joni delight. Where are the artists to paint this
worshipful watercolor scene? But first, check the oven for Plaths and phone
Weimar - tell them Nietzsche had a thing for himself, a mad thing, he died
sexually.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

It's something I keep separate from Dhampyr, for good reason. I've recently
gotten a few poems published alongside a handful of short stories in little
magazines. It's my "serious" work, to be plain. My lyrics, in
particular, draw heavily on the better auspices of literature, when they're not
flimsy ballads about shooting heroin or other such "blennorrhoea."
Discerning listeners will discover a good lot of nerdy literary references

<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are 9 tracks of U.S. Death Metal butchery that combine
the throaty sinister vocals and blasphemy of Immolation with some doom bass
thrusting that’ll please rabid Autopsy and Cianide nuts while challenging the
boundaries of classic and modern death metal slaughter. Immediately Ectovoid
whack you with a steel fist of bass and then begin to rapidly berate you with
down tuned riffs and inhuman tones. They even throw in some unique time
signatures and pull out all the tricks to keep the pulse bordering on inducing
cardiac arrest while dry drowning you in bone dry charred crematory remains and
never EVER being predictable, not even for a fraction of a second. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everything about Ectovoid is pure necropsy. Although it’s
alive and kicking in the rumbling bowel wrenching “Shapeshifting Mass” , but is
comprised of decomposed and mutilated bits and hosted by condensed evil, no
soul, this son-of-a-bitch devours souls into nothing thus violating the laws of
the universe as matter is indeed being destroyed. The overall tempo is slower death metal with emphasis on the
force of attack rather than blitzing as can be heard and felt in the
continually rumbling tones and riffs that’ll rattle and subsequently scare
someone into shitting themselves form the Vibrational shock waves on
“Splintered Phantasm”, especially when that drumming comes in like fully
automatic cannon.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You can grab any of the nine assaults on here and find the
same strengths throughout: obliterating heaviness in tones, rhythms, and
vocals; unique song structures that almost borderline on prog/experimental
sophistication leaving the listener in a state of constant anticipation and
surprise all the while being charred from the intensity; absolute skill and
development without any loss of absolute annihilating power; and extremely
dismal and horror inducing lyrical atmospheres of envisioning caskets flying
out from the Earth (“Emanating Spectral Vapor”) and much more. This type of
death metal is a weakness of mine, there’s little to no melody yet the rhythms
make up for it alongside flesh shredding leads and the entire thing comes
across as a narrative of some kind of murderous Hell, but the main thing that
makes it so incredible is the consistent flow throughout. Nothing is forsaken,
nothing is predictable or pretentious, no bloating, just blackened annihilation
with a solid and brutally tight rhythm that cannot be imitated, bullshitted, or
undermined. Solid and perfect blackened death doom chaos is what you get with
Ectovoid.</div>

Listening to the bile boiling buzzsaw riff assaults on such
atrocities as “Buried in The Crypt” one would expect Unconsecrated to hail from
Sweden not Spain, but regardless of where they reside they hit my nerves raw
with one of my favorite styles of metal PERIOD!!!!! But to save face, this CD
is a compilation of their material starting off with the <i>Slave To the Grave EP</i>
(2010), followed by the <i>Dark Awakening Demo</i> (2007), and <i>Unconsecrated Cemetery</i>
(2006), not a full album of Swedish DM revival.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The first 5 tracks comprising the <i>Slave to the Grave EP</i> may
be Swedish Death Metal styled, but there’s some seriously debilitating shreds
and other elements on “Exhumating Profaned Flesh” and some change up in rhythms
in “Slave to the Grave” that add a bit of swarming thrash vibes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With tracks 6-11 taken form the <i>Dark Awakening Demo, </i>much of the <u>modern</u> wave of Swedish
tones are subdued and what’s left is a mega cyclone of pure punishing death
metal. The tempos on “Path of the Ancient Gods” and “Over the Throne” are
breakneck assaults that scream of swarming masses of flesh craving buzzards
ready to pick your bones clean while your still alive. On the surface it’s easy
to say that it sounds like Dismember, God Macabre, Entrails, and so
on…especially when those influences are so obvious, but Unconsecrated does
differ quite a bit when you just crank it and enjoy it like you should. “Over
the Throne” also has some nice doom licks and rhythms added so you get a nice
variety of ups and downs in tempo that just radiate “anthem” and pound you into
specks, while “Temple of Darkness” starts with a very unique rhythm and is
heavily percussion focused before erupting like an aorta upon puncturing… which
just might happen with the thrust of aggression of this bastard crushing in
your rib cage.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tracks 12-18 are from the <i>Unconsecrated Cemetery Demo</i> and
are a bit more raw in sound and less Swedish style bass tone driven, and in
“Recremated by the Sunlight” there’s more of a circular pull to the rhythms,
which seems to come in and out through these last 7 tracks. This last portion
of the album really bring in an ugly and dissonance in feel, very classic death
metal and very well done for a Demo while the generally sound is that of a
maniac wielding a chainsaw and gutting random objects and people in his/her
path. These Spaniards never miss a chance to blast the listener whether it be
by beat, riff or chord progression, and overall mammoth suffocating decibels
that feel as if they’re caving in the room.</div>

music/noise, I started LIQUIFIED INSIDES to put some new filth out to the
sickos who were still left in this scene! Instead of using traditional
guitar/bass with the drums/vocals, I decided to use harshnoise by putting FM
static through effects and bass boost! I only really did this though because
the bass I bought broke and I couldn't get a new one at the time! I kept it
going because I really enjoy doing it and I always have someone else do drums
for it so that keeps it a little different each time without changing the

Many say that gorenoise/porngrind/noisecore is crap because of the way it
sounds, but although they are entitled to their own opinions, if you really
listen to the tapes and acts/bands there's a lot of mixing and placing of
sounds and they also really need to be heard as a whole and not song by song.

<span style="background-color: purple; font-size: large;">Adam: <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Yeah what you said is really dead on plus there’s too much of a poser
mentality in a scene that should have NONE of that at all!! I don't like how
certain people act like they are god's gift to labels and should be
signed/released/whatever right away and also people who have a little bit of a
name for themselves think they're above being on a low-fi release and a couple
years ago, they were putting out low-fi releases themselves and now they think
they can only be on PRO-DONE shit now!!! FUCK ALL THAT!!!! And don't even get
me started with jerkoffs that don't support the TRUE labels/bands/zines/etc..
that are left by not buying/trading shit!! These little pampered shits that
just download shit all day fucking long and never buy/trade for the releases
they like! I'm not 100% against downloading (even though I'm close to it), if
that's the only way to get a hard to find or long out of print release then GO
FOR IT!! I'm just sick of the poser scenewhore shit that goes on within
gore/grind/noise/sewage death/etc... and it's WAY off the fucking hook!!! And
yeah, pick up something and make noise, but only because you love doing it and
to find like-minded sickos through creating it!!! Stop showing off to your
scenewhore bitch friends and leeching off the TRUE sick fucks!!! Did I ramble
enough, Janet??</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

really get you squirming then.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Back in my freshman term in college I was at the
gym and at the time they had a women's only room so it was easier for me to get
free weights in there as women typically, back then, only used the machines.
Anyway, the door opened and a family of women came in: the first one was older
and had big thighs but nothing massive until she turned sideways and there it
was...her ass stretched out about 6 inches STRAIGHT before curving out and then
coming back in!!!! You could literally bus tables with it. The next in line was
pretty trim but when she turned around her ass seemed even longer then the first.
Finally the youngest was thin as a rail and then she turned around and BAM!!!!!
it was like a surfboard was being shoplifted in her pants!!!!! You would
creamed yourself if you saw that, I still can't get over it...never seen an ass
that's narrow but really long and flat like an ironing board. If they got any
bigger they'd have to have a separate cart to wheel it around with!!!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: purple; font-size: large;">Adam: <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Wish I could've seen that!!! I've seen plenty, but big
but well-rounded heartshaped are my favorite, but I've seen some tankasses that
knocked me out too!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">DOTDR: You have me in tears right now!!! I went
out to this great burger and beer place last Friday ( Slaters 50/50) and every other chick there was a pear
bottom and they ALWAYS wear shorts with either the cottage cheese jiggle or the
legs are actually solid, I thought of you and snorted beer at John who also had
plenty to say about the rears: “Like two raccoons fighting in a burlap sack”
was the main one, the other was “Oh my God, she looks like she ate her children”.

is one of the most ruthless, cold-blooded motherfuckers I ever heard of!!! Just
the way he killed people at the drop of a hat in the most horrible of ways with
not one ounce of remorse, feeling or anything!!! And he describes it all with
either a blank stare or an evil fucking grin on his face!!! He also came up
with creatively horrible ways to kill people that I never heard of before!!!
Just fucking RUTHLESS to the core!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: purple; font-size: large;">DOTDR: <span style="background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">Ruthless is essential in a psychopath and the Iceman is a greta example
of that, but I'm now recently a sucker for Tommy Lynn Sells. The worst killers
are not only unemotionally involved in the act before or after, but also
transient. Although only convicted on one murder it's estimated that he killed
near 70 or more as he burgled houses. He killed men,women, and children...no
sexual motive, and he was just brutal!!! Like the Iceman, the best killers are
unrelenting and out to "get the job done".</span></span></div>

goregrindfilthnoise stuff to a completely new level!!! I will now have to go
track down his other stuff. My only issue was with the lesbian orgy bits. Maybe
it's my being a straight female, although my threshold for the nasty is
unusually high for someone without mental/emotional illness, but I just can't
"swallow" the lesbian orgy sound clips. Aside from big asses are you
a lesbophile? And if you do enjoy that, do you have any insight as to why many
men have a fetish for that, or at least claim to?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The reason that I got into this whole writing shit is
because of bands like Bloodsoaked. You know the ones, the ones that work the
hardest and stay true to metal but as a result they never get much press
because they don’t have the $ and luck to get everyone’s attention in the arena
these days. In any case, Bloodsoaked is one of the great U.S. secrets and has
been tearing off heads with the strength and aggression of solid and BRUTAL
death metal for quite some years now and has had three solid slabs of putridity
with exceptional ratings in the press that has been given him. Yes, HIM….Peter
Hasslebrack, Bloodsoaked up until this year was a one-man hit assassin and even
as such he could rip open 80% or more of the full band “brutal” feces that
drops in the bowl. </b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So if you’re into a no frills down tuned juggernaut riff
assault that still comes up with new twists and rhythms for each song like a
sadist does with each new torture and kill such as Malignancy,
Pathology,and Immolation without
losing their unique M.O. then check out Bloodsoaked!!!! With the new addition
of Joe Byron (Malebolgia) and the incredible tissue severing ability of
2011’s The Death of Hope, it’s an
adrenalizing surge to anticipate what this duo will try to murder us with next.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Peter: Bloodsoaked the band (or just me) started in 2006, I
had played in a Thrash band (Deslok) in Boston, MA back in the late 80's and
wanted to start another band. The name Bloodsoaked actually comes from a web
site I ran for about 10 years (1995 to 2005) called Bloodsoaked Promotions, it
was first called The Intense Sound of Death Metal but I expanded to cover all
forms of extreme music. The Bloodsoaked Promotions web site was a precursor to
sites such as Blabbermouth, Metal Sucks, Metal Injection and so on. I had a
huge following and worked with every label under the sun promoting their new
releases but the majority of promoting was for the small underground bands. It
was a huge passion of my (the web site), I lived and breathed it. To this day I
receive emails from people asking if I am the same person that ran the site and
people ask at shows as well. Back to the band... As I said I started the band
in 2006, tried out a few people but nothing was working out so I decided to
write a album worth of music, record and released it myself, it was 100% DIY. I
had 100 copies pressed and sent them to labels, zines, collage radio and sold a
few via MySpace. I was slowly building a following (online) and a few small
labels were interested in releasing the album, I knew Steve from Comatose Music
a bit from my days running the web site, knew what he did for his release and
decided to release the album with Comatose.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>J.W. : That’s really amazing!!!!! It’s always great to meet
and/or correspond with guys like you that’ve been there before we even really
had a “there”. So with that aside: What's it like doing something as skillful
as death metal solo? Your stuff is better than a lot out there and yet it's
only one man!!! That's a Hell of a thing to pull off!!!! </b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Peter: Thank you for the compliments, I don't know how much
better it is than the trillion other Death Metal bands but I believe it's good.
I'm not a musician, I'm a guitar player, I can't read music, don't know theory
but I do know what sounds good. I try to write good, solid songs and not just
take 10 riffs and slam them together and call it a song. Nothing wrong with
making a catchy song, something people will be humming long after they hear it.
I keep things simple, maybe that's because I'm not a technical guitarist but I
have my own style that I've have for about 25 year now. I have recently added a
second guitarist/vocalist (Joe Darling -he also plays in the band Malebolgia
-also signed to Comatose Music). I have done everything myself for many years and
now with the addition of Joe I'm hoping to write even better songs having
someone to work with on a consistent basis.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>J.W. : Speaking of the addition of Joe, I also know that you
did a mini tour recently. How’d the tour go overall and how was it to have an
extra man for the live gigs?</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Peter: The three day mini tour was great, we played in
Virginia, Delaware and New Jersey. All the shows were good, got to meet some
new bands, make a few new fans and that’s what it’s all about. Joe had played 3
shows with me before this mini tour, a small warm-up show and then we went to
Portugal and played the SWR Festival and then we played a killer local show
here in Raleigh. Playing with someone else is great and it add a lot more to
the live show, Joe is also doing about 40%-50% of the vocals now as well so it
adds a whole new dimension. It now has that Dying Fetus, Misery Index or Nile
thing going on with us trading vocals back and forth.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>J.W. : I’d love to catch you live in the flesh!!! That
sounds great!!! I've only seen a few videos of your live sets (pre-Joe) and
they are seriously intense and really showcase your ability, could you walk me
through how you pulled off a show as a single man shredding like you do? </b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Peter: With it being only me on stage the last 6 years I had
to try to be bigger than life as I am competing with full bands for the
audience's attention. I give 100% and try to make the audience remember the
performance and not even miss the other members. Now that I have added Joe the
live show is even better with both of us playing guitar the sound is fuller and
Joe is taking over 50% of the vocal duties the show is crushing. With the dual
vocals going and the energy we give the never question it, they go along for
the ride. The technical side of things, its Joe and I both playing guitar and
performing vocals with the drum tracks played via iPod through the PA system,
nothing but the drums are on the play back.</b></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>J.W.: Damn!!!!! That’s a lot of work, but again, from the
reviews and video footage, you really seem to put on a massive live show!!!! In
regards to your studio work now, how does one man go about creating a classic ripping
Bloodsoaked track? </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Peter: When I'm jamming and write a riff that I like I
usually will record it so not to forget the riff. I usually start with a chorus
or a intro riff, something that jumps out at me like "Fuck yeah, I love
this riff" and then I try to build around that riff. I take forever to
write a song, as simple as they are you would think they are put together in 15
minutes but for me it takes forever. In the end its paid off with three great
Bloodsoaked albums.. At this time Joe and I are working on a new song, our
first together and I think I have been messing with this song for about a month
now, just for this one damn song, again it's a simple song but I am loving it
and it might be one of the best I have written so far, in the top 3-5 I would
say.<br />
<br />
</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>J.W. : Most times simple is best, especially in terms of
classic and solid riffs, and song structure. When you look at the entire
history of hard rock and metal, much of them relied on simple riffs and
construction that just ripped and Bloodsoaked is definitely solid and memorable
even without hooks so your method works well to my taste and judging from your
continued success I’m not alone in that regard.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>So now that you have that second man, how do you feel about
the process now and aside from that song is there any idea of when the fourth
Bloodsoaked might come into completion?</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Peter: The writing process for the most part will remain the
same but not Joe will be contributing as well. Obviously I know what I want
Bloodsoaked to sound like and how I like songs to flow but having Joe add his
ideas and open my mind to new ones will only help. The same thing as when I wrote
most of the last album (The Death of Hope) with Brent Williams (Drummer for
Atrocious Abnormality). We would through idea off each other and in the end the
album is much better than only having my ideas. As far as a 4th album I’m not
sure, I’m under no time limits to write another album. I am looking at possibly
releasing a DVD as I have so much behind the scene footage from tours,
festivals, studio and other crap. Maybe a DVD that includes a couple of new
songs.</b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Funerary Call create dark ambient nightmarish soundscapes
that are almost organic and natural that it’s hard to not feel as if one is
listening to field recordings from deep within some labyrinth of a primal cult.
Which is very much apparent with the starting track “Wands of Fire”. “Wand of
Fire” is essentially a Lustmordian soundscape amidst a crackling fire, invoking
the essence of ritual and setting the stage for what will be unraveling through
sound across the next five audio experiences approaching.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Nightside Emanations” features very minimal tribal
percussion, and I mean MINIMAL, but just enough that with the echoes of
movement within the cryptic temple and the demonic electronic distortion that
is the anathema rising my blood races before my skin sheds from the sudden cold
and fear brought on through anticipation of what’s to come: “Thee I
Invoke”!!!!.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Thee I Invoke” is a unique turning point on the album where
the Lustmord and minimal tribal ambient route is abandoned for a darker cosmic
trance feel. The sound density literally goes from vaporous incense plumes
dispersing through a clear enough space to breathe where as now it’s as if
oxygen is being depleted and my lungs are being vacuumed as the walls begin to
close in on me. The incantations among the almost neoclassical minimalistic
synthwork remind me of classic Swedish dark/black ambient and very much a
mixture of Cold Meat industry, Old Europa Café, Cold Spring,Tessco recordings
as does “Upon the Earth”.</div>

<i>Nightside Emanations</i>
is one of those rare beasts that blend hypnotic pulses of primal tribal
percussion and rhythms with cosmic drone, and glacial sheers of shrill and
screeching electronic tones into something completely ancient and profoundly
mystical. In terms of overall sound and feel expect elements of : Yen Pox, In
Slaughter Natives, Raison D’être, Atrium Carceri, Phelios… creating a tale of
an ancient dead civilization, possibly in connection with aliens performing a ritual.
Just when you thought you were over ambient, occult, etc. Funerary Call summons
you back and challenges even the strongest and most revered acts of the style.</div>
