Necronoclast Interview

1. Can you tell us about your project, when you formed and what is going on nowadys?
-- I started Necronoclast in 2003, from a desire to create dark atmospheres based on my own mind, my own thoughts. The first full album, "Monument", was released in 2006. Since then, there have been two further albums, "The Plague" and then "Haven". At the moment, I'm writing some new material for forthcoming releases.

2. Where did you come up with the name Necronoclast?
-- It was a combination of the prefix necro, referencing death, and the word iconoclast, referring to an opposition to traditional beliefs. It was based on lyrical themes I was using at the time.

3. How would you describe the musical progress over the years?
-- I think the recent songwriting is more focused and polished. Although atmosphere remains key and the core musical elements have not changed much, I feel that Necronoclast is much more accomplished now in terms of reaching its target sound.

4. What direction do you see the music heading into on future releases?
-- I'd like to incorporate some other elements into future recordings to expand my musical scope. Necronoclast will always be grounded in black metal, but I will be incorporating some new elements into my new work. I see no great worth in recording essentially the same material twice.

5. How would you describe the lyrical content of the music?
-- Lyrics have never been an important focus of Necronoclast, because I always feel that music itself should convey ideas and emotion. Lyrics are based on concepts of anxiety, imagination, and humanity.

6. how has the reception been towards your music by other black metal fans?
-- I've had a lot of positive responses, particularly to "Haven". It's interesting to get feedback because black metal - especially solo projects - is a genre which has become quite overpopulated, so it's good to see that people are still interested. Ultimately though, Necronoclast is the most egocentric thing I have ever done, and as long as I am achieving my own targets then I am satisfied.

7. What are some of the black and doom metal bands that have influenced your music style and do you have influences from any other types of music as well?
-- Katatonia is an obvious influence, plus more traditional black metal like Burzum, and doomier bands like Shape of Despair and My Dying Bride. I don't set out to copy any existing bands, but these are bands whom I feel achieve the same targets I set myself through their works.

8. What are you listening to nowadays?
-- Recently, Gris, Pantheon I, Watain, Absu, Shining.

10. Do you have interest in any Satanic, Occult and pagan beliefs or philosophies?
-- No, other than from an 'outside interest' point of view. I don't see any value in giving my beliefs a particular title.

11. What are some of your interests outside of music?
-- I'm a big fan of unconsciousness.

12. How would you describe the metal scene in Scotland, I have not heard of that many band coming from the country?
-- I don't live in Scotland at this point in time so I can't comment on the active scene. But Scotland has always had a fairly strong underground. Though black metal has, in my opinion, been underrepresented.

13. Any final words or thoughts of wisdom for the people reading this interview?
-- Thanks for making it to the end...

Abominator Interview

> 1. Can you update us with what is going on with Abominator these days?
>
At the moment we are planning a return from a hiatus that has lasted more than three years. In that time myself and Andrew have been focusing on our respective true death metal bands IGNIVOMOUS and CEMETERY URN. Soon our soul searching journey through the darkness will be over and new bouts of fury will be unleashed. We are also planning to release our early demo material on Nuclear War Now! Productions.

> 2. I know the band has experienced a few line up changes, who is in the
> current line up?

At this point it is just myself and Andrew, but since we plan on returning to the battleground we are negotiating with some worthy souls to join ABOMINATOR. Valak Exhumer is living in Germany doing VOLKMAR so he won´t be continuing with us for now.

> 3. Abominator and Australia have alot to do with creating the war metal
> movement, what is your opinion on the modern war metal scene, there are
> even bands in the U.S and Canada that play war metal, but it does not
> have the same sound as the bands from your home country?

To be honest, ABOMINATOR should be considered more of a bestial black metal band rather than a pure war metal band. I think the term ´war metal´ is quite redundant these days, its always wiser to ask the band themselves what they consider their style to be. Australian bands have always had their own unique brutal sound, and just like the hordes of bands who tried to emulate the scandinavian sound, many of these so called war metal bands have fallen short of the true sound. Abominator can´t really be compared to any other bands, and our true depth goes unnoticed when people mis-label our music.

> 4. How has the support from Displeased records been so far, and how
> would you compare it to Necropolis and Osmose?
>
Decent support from Displeased records is virtually non-existent, as our last album ´The Eternal Conflagration´ had next to no promotion, despite relatively good sales in certain areas. Displeased records dumped us after just one album anyway, so in the end they are no different to the businessmen ethics of dumbass labels like Osmose or Necropolis.

> 5. How would you describe a live Abominator concert and what are some of
> the best shows that you have played so far?

Epic evil and total destruction! Its a wall of satan, basically. Soon when our line up is solidified we will attack the stage again with unprecedented force and all the posers will surrender in horror! There have been many great shows over the years, one highlight was playing a show with MAYHEM in Sydney, we played like demons! There were also many great shows in the past with Damon Bloodstorm on bass/vox. Maybe he will make a guest appearance at future shows, time will tell.

> 6. Are there any plans to annihilate the United States in the future
> with a tour?

I wish I could say we had such plans, but first we have to get the band together and make sure our live show is as brutal and as satanic as possible! We will not do this half-arsed! Also we have to write some new material to blow the shit out of the venues over in the states and bring fear and death to the hearts of the weak! Anything less would be pointless!

> 7. How would you describe your musical progress over the years and what
> direction do you see Abominator going into on future releases?

During the course of our career we have progressed our sound to a point where we really cannot take it any further without sounding like a regular death metal band, so the next logical step is to return to the evil and destructive sound of the demos and our first album. There is a primal evil quality to these releases and we must return to this to make the band whole again!

> 8. What are some of the bands or music styles that influenced you to
> become a musician and what bands or music styles are you listening to
> nowadays?

In the very beginning I found bands such as BLASPHEMY, BEHERIT, SARCOFAGO, MYSTIFIER , VULCANO, GROTESQUE, SODOM, POSSESSED etc. to be a major influence on what ABOMINATOR was to become. There are many great bands out there today who retain these traditional ways, but we have a broad range of music that influences us on unseen levels. I personally like to listen to alot of progressive rock ala 1970s style such as RUSH, KING CRIMSON, YES, JETHRO TULL, AMON DUUL II as well as the usual stuff like BLACK SABBATH, LED ZEPPELIN, PINK FLOYD etc. also some old Aussie rock and some industrial stuff.

> 9. What role does Satanism or Occultism play in the music?

Satan and the occult plays a massive role in what we have created. It isn´t all just about warlike themes and goats and ´fago´ and the like, we express a healthy philosophical realization of the darkness within ourselves and humanity as a whole. It is also based around the eternal battle between god and lucifer and how that affects the universe in its constant state of flux. There is also alot of blatant praisure of evil and death, and that comes from many angles, anger and dissilusionment towards the world, but its also a healthy way to expel these dark emotions and express them creatively.

> 10. What are some of your interests outside of music (i.e
> films,literature and of course beer drinking.)

Beer drinking is a great social hobby, which is strange as we are in general anti-social people! Personally my interests range from alternative science and technologies, hyper-dimensional and nuclear physics to science fiction literature and films, as well as the occult and ancient knowledge, ancient advanced civilizations etc. Andrew is into alot of horror films and literature and we are all immersed in various elements of satanism and philosophy.

> 11. How would you describe the extreme metal scene in Australia these days?

Good, alot of great bands springing up, but also alot of shitty clone bands as well. You have to take the good with the bad I suppose. the best bands going down here right now apart from the forementioned are PORTAL, TZUN TZU, BEYOND MORTAL DREAMS, LUSTRATION, IMPETUOUS RITUAL, SHACKLES, DESTRUKTOR, BACKYARD MORTUARY, URGRUND, DENOUNCEMENT PYRE, HUNTERS MOON, BELLIGERENT INTENT, CADAVERINE as well as a plethora of great black metal and death metal bands too numerous to mention at this point.

> 12. Any final words or thoughts of destruction?

All beware, soon we will return with another sheer outburst of brutal black metal terror, exactly in what format remains to be determined, either a MLP or another full-length if the black godz look down upon us kindly enough. You have been warned, TAKE FUCKING COVER!!!

Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult Interview

1. Can you update us with what is going on with Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult?

DNS:
We have finished the audible manifestations of our fifth chapter entitled "Saldorian Spell" whilst you have been awaiting the completion of this interview. As many a night will pass before these answers are made public to a specific circle it should be mentioned that the release date of the new album is October 31st, 2009, however for the broad public it is November 20th. This is the solemn and most important update at the time being.

2. How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard you before?

DNS:
D. N. Slaughtercult follows strictly the old school path of raw Black Metal, which means we intend to uphold the banner despite of current trends and modern interpretations of misshaped musical influences. It is difficult to describe the own style, or in this case "sound", in a neutral way. Thus, we shall simply adopt the often made comparison to being a relict of mid nineties Scandinavian black metal.

3. What is the meaning behind the bands name?

DNS:
As we have answered this question numerous times before we shall simply quote ourselves: “The meaning behind our name is well thought about. Unlike others who choose a name disregarding their type of music and themselves, we tried to combine ourselves along with our beliefs and turn it into a banner out of the ordinary. So, Slaughtercult was baptized in blood by Onielar as the union of occult powers, who's cruel, blasphemous deeds are being held during the midnight mass. It is the music and our very own way of existing which stands for Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult.”

4. How would you describe one of your live shows and what are some of the best gigs that you have played so far?

DNS:
We refer to our live performances either as live rituals or bloodstained live battles. It is an intense atmosphere, sort of an exchange of energies between the performer and the audience. Definitely a worthwhile experience for those interested to participate in an audible mass. By now we have played many gigs in Europe, it is difficult to say which ones were the best. Of course we’ll never forget our first festival experience. We were used to regular club venues with one or two hundred people. Our first festival performance had four thousand maniacs in the audience! That’s a big step for an underground band!

5. When can we expect new material?

DNS:
One of the main reasons why the answering process of this interview was postponed over and over again is that we have been in and out of the studio for the last months. Since October 31st the new album “Saldorian Spell” is out. It can be ordered directly through us. By the end of November the album will be available through usual mailorder companies.

6. What direction do you see the band heading into during the future?

DNS:
We are not making concrete plans where to go or what to do. We’ve always taken one step at a time. We’ll evaluate offers and opportunities as they come. Certainly, we are aiming at a general direction, namely “straight down to hell”.

7. Are there any plans for a U.S tour?

DNS:
It would definitely be great for us to travel to distant countries, however, we must face reality that it is most unlikely for an underground band. We are not making arrangements ourselves, thus we are relying on organizers to get in touch with us. In the past there have been concert offers, we'll simply have to see if it finally happens in 2010.

8. What are some of the bands that inspired you to play the raw style of black metal that you play?

DNS:
It has definitely been early Scandinavian Black Metal which inspired us most. But there are also many other more or less popular bands, which have paved our path to start an active band. To name a few without any particular order Bathory, Immortal, Slayer, Kat (PL), Emperor, Ulver, Beherit, etc., etc.

9. What are you listening to nowadays and what are some good bands or releases that you would recommend?

DNS:
The latest albums which were sorted into our collection were from Carpathian Forest, and Tsjuder, but also ambient stuff a la Popul Vuh.

10. I know from reading other interviews you seem to have a lot of knowledge of Satanism and Occultism? What are some satanic or occult philosophies that you follow and has the biggest impact on your life?

DNS:
If you have read previous interviews you should have also noticed that we are following an individual path. We try to find our own interpretation of given philosophies. We attempt to redefine the mere definition of given words, so that our mind is capable of grasping the essence. The biggest impact of our live must be the very founding stone of our inner sanctum, thus, you will certainly understand that it is something to not be discussed in an interview.

11. What are some good films or books that you would recommend?

DNS:
In one way or another, what ever is intended to be seen by yours eyes will reveal itself in due time. No need for any recommendations.

12. How does Germany react to your style of black Metal?

DNS:
A more valuable questions would be if we, as the protagonist, are satisfied with the reaction of the German scene. A simple - yes - would be the answer.

13. Any final words?

DNS:
Saldorian Spell – the circle of gathering is here!

Thanks for the interview

Dalkhu Interview

1. Can you tell our readers about your band, and what you have accomplished with your music during the 6 years you have been a band?
Sorg: Band consist of me (guitar), Kalki (battery), Berstuk (vocals), Jurij (bass). This line up is active since 2008. First of Dalkhu was meant to be a project for expressing my musical side, but it evolved into something more, when Berstuk joined on vox. We have made one demo entitled Ars Goetia in 2006 and a few months back we've finished the work for our first album Imperator.

2. According to your bio, you formed your band out of disgust for the modern black metal scene, what was it in 2003 that made you sick of what was being considered black metal?
Sorg: I get this question a lot. The turn point for me wasn't in 2003. I kept asking myself what is happening to black metal since around '99 and since then I wanted to make a band to express my vision of extreme metal, but that hasn't happened until 2003. From my point of view what happened to black metal is that it went from obscured into unobscured genre. It became a fashion for people to listen to, it got stuck in it's own created stereotypes. It started becoming this big thing and nowadays it feels like everyone who can play an instrument and every 15 year old kid wants to play black metal. I got fed up with bands trying to sound as the early black metal bands and with modern bands who have their record sound polished and overproduced... And with that the cold feeling of darkness is gone. But on the other hand our main goal is not anymore to go against what is happening, because we really don't care what others are doing as it's their own thing to do. We present the music through our vision and don't care anymore what type of bands call themselves black metal these days.

3. Since you are very underground and most people have not heard you yet, how would you describe your sound?
Sorg: Our sound is kind of old school sounding, but with our own twist. We try to make it as natural as possible. Everyone who wants to hear how we sound can go to http://www.myspace.com/dalkhuband and make their own mind about it.

4. What is it that you are looking for in a record label?
Sorg: First and foremost we want a label that will not interfere with our music nor philosophy and would put an effort to promote the band not just press the album and release it. We have some offers and we will see how it goes.

5. In 2006 you released a demo called Ars Goetia, what is your interest in the Goetia?
Sorg: Ars Goetia derives from the King Solomon's grimoire. The demo philosophically speaks about the linked chain between humanity and divinity. Demo is sold out and not available anymore.

6. How would you define the songwriting style of Dalkhu?
Sorg: I take a lot of inspiration from nature and that is why some parts of the songs appear in my head when I am watching the night sky from my window smoking a cigarette or driving in my car through the countryside. In Slovenj Gradec where I live, we have a lot of hills and forests and that gives me a unique feeling. I have a forest 5 metres from my house which is amazing. When I have a song done, Kalki and I rehearse alone to make drums to it, or I record the guitar and send the file to Kalki who work on the drums and then he shows to me what he's done. Sometimes when I write a song I have in my head a specific drum part for the guitar riff. Basically I write all the music and lyrics, but in the end the whole band gives it that final touch.

7. I have seen some of your live stuff on YouTube, had you had to opportunity to play outside your country?
Sorg: Our live performances are quite different now as those on youtube, because as an artist you have to get used to being on stage to give your maximum performance and at first it's very strange. We are very different on stage now as we were 2 years ago when we started live shows. You learn and experience a lot. We decided we will not go abroad until we have released our album, though we have had a few offers. In the future we hope to play in other countries if an interest for a Dalkhu concert will be shown.

8. What black metal bands inspired you to become a musician and what other styles of music besides black metal do you draw influence from?
Sorg: The funny thing is, that no black metal band was the reason for me to become a musician. The one who inspired me to play a guitar was my highschool schoolmate and the other reason was Dimebag, I always enjoyed watching him play. I also listen to pagan metal and old school death metal besides black metal. I also like some early heavy metal like Manilla Road, Iron Maiden. Other genres get me bored after listening for 10 minutes.

9. What are some bands or music styles that interest you nowadays?
From more well known bands I like: Dissection, Bathory, Burzum, Gorgoroth, Temnozor, Behexen, Nokturnal Mortum, Kroda, Morbid Angel, Lunar Aurora, Arch Goat, Death, Behemoth, Vinterland, Satyricon, Absu, Melechesh, Darkthrone, Hades, Drudkh, Destroyer 666, Horna to name a few.
And from the underground: Deathevokation, Verminous, Vasaeleth, Branikald, Forest, Ravendark, Katharsis, Goat Molestor, Cultes des Ghoules, Kaamos, Blood Of Kingu, Hromovlad, Orlog, ... but let everyone discover the undergournd for themselves as the grimness awaits them... Among others I listen to Orff's Carmina Burana, some Irish folk music, but on very few occasions. I mainly enjoy extreme metal.

10. Do you have any interest in other forms of the black arts besides the Goetia, and how do the black arts play a role in your music?
Sorg: Black arts play a role in my music and I take that very seriously as oppose to a lot of posers in the black metal scene, but it is only them who live a lie! I don't care. I study thelemic literature, chaosophy, the occult. I am not a follower of any cult as I believe that black art and it's philosophy is an individual thing. It is for an individual to understand and walk the path of salvation or damnation.

11. What are some interests that you have outside of music?
Sorg: Work with graphic design, go to the forest or drive through the countryside and discovering my inner self.

12. I have not heard plenty of bands from Slovenia, how would you describe the metal scene out there?
I think the scene is strong and very underrated in metal world, but for that I think we have only ourselves to blame. It is some sort of a general idea, that if a band comes from another country it deserves more. We are not proud enough of what we have. There are also conflicts among some bands which is really the biggest idiocy you can imagine for a small country like Slovenia. Nevertheless some of our bands are way better than a lot of foreign bands and Slovenian metalheads need to start supporting us more! I believe we are doing a good job producing quality music.

13. Any final words or thoughts of blasphemy?
Thanks for a good interview without the stupid questions. Check our myspace for songs and support us by buying our debut album when it gets out if you like what you hear. Stay true to yourself and go where few steps lead. Find your path. Hails!

Merrimack Interview

1. Can you tell us a little bit about your band for my readers that are not familiar with your music?

Terrorizt: vox: Once upon a time, some young metalheads from the Parisain suburbs gathered to play Black-Metal. This was in 1994. i5 years after even if only one member is left from the early days (perversifer-gtrz) Merrimack is still around, more active than ever. Today apart from the guy I've just mentioned, we have EsX (gtrz also in Vorkreist, Necrolith (drmz), Dathorh (bss) also in Purge), and myself(also in your girlfriend). We have released 3 albums (Ashes of Purifacation !! 2002 ; Of Entropy and Life Denial !! 2006 ; and grey rigorism 11 2009).
2. I know you have a U.S tour coming up , what expectations do you have of the tour?

T: It is a very good opportunity for us to play in large venues and convince large audiences. We are very pleased and impatient to confront to so many people who never had to chance to witness the madness of Merrimack on stage. we've toured across Europe several times and we somehow have the impression to play for the very same persons over and over again. So it's all going to be new and fresh, which is pleasant. We expect the North American audience to be very receptive, devoted sick and violent. But that's we expect from every audience anyway.

3. I remember some of your older stuff was more pagan orientated and melodic, what made you decide to evolve into a brutal Satanic black metal band?

The stuff you are talking about is very very old now, and the band's line up was very different back then. Members were way younger and influences were different. With new, more stable members joining, the identity of Merrimack became more solid and more orientated towards sinister and spiritual topics.

4. What are some of the best gigs that you have played so far, and what can us Americans expect when you play out here live?

Difficult question, there were so many gigs ! I defiantly could not pick one up in particular, I would say that all our gigs in Paris turned out really great, with packed venues, fanatic audiences and a truly morbid, sick and dangerous atmosphere. That's what you guys can expect from us: pure Black Metal madness with spikes, leather, blood, darkness, death, danger and devotion.

5. How has the response been to the new album so far?

Very good indeed. We have some excellent reviews in almost all (all1) mags/ webzines, and long time fans are very enthusiastic. People have easily realized the abominable power contained in the work and glorifacation and worship that is Grey Rigorism.

6. What direction do you see Merrimack going into on future releases?

We'll keep on doing what we're doing now: incorporating more and more new elements in our music while making sure it stills faithful to the tradition of morbidity darkness and mystery of the purest Black-Metal.

7. What are some of your influences as a musician?

We are of coursed influenced by the legacy of the most re pungent Black-Metal. We're also listening to many other music styles and this can be felt in our music. We're all big fans of Doom and Death-Metal. Most of us are also into stuff like Sunn0)), Isis, Pelican, Neurosis etc.

8. What are you listening to nowadays and what is your opinion on modern black metal?

I will only speak for myself, not on behalf of the other members. I am myself getting back to vintage stuff like Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, ZZ Top and even older stuff, besides the bands I mentioned in the answer above. Modern Black-Metal is easy to sum up 99 % of shit. But let's be thankful for the incredibly good and strong 1 % remaining.

9. How would you describe your Satanic Left Hand Path philosophy and do you also have any interest in the other forms of the black art?

If by other forms of the black art, you mean occult practicing, then yes, I am more and more involved in such activities. It is up to everyone to question one's own engagement and to get involved in further activities than music or not. I have chosen to do so, and my interpretations, interrogations and comments are to be found in my lyrics. for those that care. I won't develop here the basis of knowledge that is esoteric by essence. Esoteric = reserved for the initiate.

10. What are some of your interests outside of music (i.e films, literature etc.)?

I read alot, though as much as I would like, I enjoy all kind of stuff, but I prefer esoteric literature, historical essays and philosophy> When it comes to films, I would recommend Sous le Soliel de Satan (by M. Piliat) and The Island ( byPavel Longuine).

11. How would you describe the black metal scene in your home country?

I would describe it with the exactly same words I've used to describe the modern Black-Metal scene in general 99% percent os shit and 1% exceptional good band. With some good bands disappearing it even tends to be 99.5 %/ 0.5%.

12. Any final words or thoughts for my readers?

Our new album is now out and available everywhere, so make sure to check it out (and to actually buy it instead of downloading it.) The vinyl version will be available very soon ( late october/early november). We hope to see you all on tour, my it be U.S.A and Europe

Dodsferd Interview

1.Can you update us with what is going on with Dodsferd these days?
Dodsferd appeared in Sathanas in Gloriam Festival for one show this year approximately two weeks before and now I am working on new material!
Soon a Dodsferd 7” ep and a split cd will be released by Moribund records!

2.What were your goals with this project in the beginning?
Two ease the demons in my head!

3. Where did you come up with the name Dodsferd?
It found me! It was not my choice!

4.I know you have some other musical projects, who are they and how do they differ from Dodsferd?
Nadiwrath, Grab, F.W (Ex – Kampf), Mortovatis, Nunonbong…They are different in their way!

5.What was it that got you into black metal, and are you happy with the way the scene is now, or do you prefer the older days when the scene was more underground?
It was not for everyone! It was not for the masses and the group of people I hated! Happy? …and it should have stayed underground!

6.You have some interesting song titles, what inspires you when you write the lyrics?
The fucking human cunts and their pathetic existence!

7.What direction do you see the music heading into during the future?
More hateful and violent! More painful and sick!!! Not for the masses! That’s about my music! I don’t care about the others!

8.How would you describe the musical progress over the years?
