Purgator Interview

1. Can you tell us a little bit about the band for those that have never heard of you before?
SS: Best way to describe Purgatör... Fucking Bad

2. How would you describe the musical sound of your 7 inch and how it differs from the previous recording?
SS: It's a lot of improvement from the first demo that was more like simple punk rock black heavy metal... Our present sound is more into Heavy Metal than before, and it's going to that direction more and more, but we'll keep the trace of the Darkness with it. The song structures are more interesting and the riffs even more slaying. My personal main influence is the DARKTHRONE of nowadays. Then there's the Metal, that all who are true, Worship.

3. What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
SS: There are real messages that people might understand or not! But yeah at least half of it is just being Fucking Bad and Metal... Lightning and fire!

4. What is the meaning and inspiration behind the bands name?
SS: It's the word Purgatory, but in a nonsense way meaning actually nothing. Same thing with Sadokist (that stand's for sadomasochism). Band name that means nothing and is still defining the musick is REALLY DEFINING the musick!

5. Has the band had any opportunities to do live shows and if so how would you describe your stage performance?
SS: Unfortunately not, we always have problems with line-ups and such. It will be just awesome!

6. Are there any plans for a full length album in the future?
SS: Yes we have planned full-length and we have tons of stuff unfinished and things are often on-hold for many reasons but it will blast the shit out of your ears someday!

7. On a worldwide level how has your music been received by fans of black/thrash metal?
SS: I don't know

8. Are there any projects besides this band or is this a full time line up?
SS: Sadokist

9. What direction do you see the music heading into on future releases?
SS: Radio sucks. Our stuff is getting better

10. What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
SS: Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden

11. What role does Satanism or Occultism play in your music?
SS: None.

12. Outside of music what are some of your interests?
SS: Cult films, Philosophy, Metal, Velvet, Leather...

13. Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview?
SS: Thank you very much & I hope you joy for life!

DungeonHammer/Infernal Offerings/Purgator/Graveyard Noise/Bestial Invasion Records/2011 Split 7 Inch Review

  This is a review of a 7 inch with 2 bands DungeonHammer from France/Netherlands and Purgator from Finland which was released in 2011 in the year of 2011 and we will start off with DungeonHammer which plays a mixture of 80's style black metal, doom metal, punk and thrash.

Drums are mostly slow to mid paced drumming with not much in the way of fast playing or blast beats, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.

Rhythm guitars range from slow to mid paced riffing that combines 80's style black metal with doom, thrash and punk, while the lead guitars are very primitive sounding 80's underground metal guitar solos and leads.

Vocals are mostly Tom G Warrior styles and grunts, while the lyrics cover dark and occultic themes, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.

In my opinion this is another great 7 inch from DungeonHammer and if you are a fan of 80's style black/thrash/doom metal with a punk edge, you should check this out. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Primal Blasphemies".

Now we will review Purgator from Finland that plays a mixture of black, thrash and war metal.

Drums range from mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of blast beats thrown in, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars.

Rhythm guitars range from mid paced to fast riffing that combines elements of black, thrash and war metal, while the lead guitars are very raw, chaotic and primitive sounding 80's style underground metal guitar solos and leads.

Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and 80's black/thrash style growls, while the lyrics cover Graveyards, The Devil and Heavy Metal, as for the production it has a very dark, raw and primitive sound to it.

In my opinion Purgator are a very good black/thrash/war metal band and if you are a fan of this style, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Graveyard Noise.

In my opinion this is a great 7 inch and if you are a fan of black/thrash , you should get this 7 inch. RECOMMENDED BUY.
