Interview with Daniel AverX Pérez

(Averxu Atrium, Morbid Funeral, 

Zwarte Vlam)

Invocation by Daniel AverX:

"Averxu Atrium is an spiritual, ritualistic Black metal band from Costa Rica with the idea of express our knowledge during the transition of our lives.

The main idea of Averxu Atrium is not to be part of any kind of scene or group, we only search the illumination through the life. We worship the ancient gods and all the knowledge behind of it.

Through all these years, the band has been working a lot in the composition of the proper materials.

 “Ω Qliphoth Sefirot Kéter Ω” is one of our examples, Averxu Atrium, centers his ideas to create his own music according to self experiences, to believe in the things that we read and most important to put it in practice.

All the songs, sigils and symbiology of this EP, are totally created by the band members, we decided to create our own self expressions. Every sigil has a deep meaning of ideology.

The lyrics are fully based on: occultism, esoterism and anti-cosmic Satanism and many aspects of: spiritualism and of course to all the devotion of our Santa Madre Muerte.

The composition of the material, are running by the band. We have been working a lot during all these years, to create the proper sound, meaning and lyrics style.

The transition of the recording was very difficult, because Averxu Atrium have only two members, at that time. But clearly everything runs very well.

In 2013 in March, we began to record the Ep at Dijeres´s studio (A friend of the band), and in December the material it was ready. At 2014 we contacted: New order records, it’s an underground label from Costa Rica and one of the few and true ones.

The tape will be able only in 100 copies in the normal edition, and we are working on the limited special edition limited to 33 copies around the world. The tape will include a mini poster and more sigils, created to the proper songs.

The names of the songs are:

1. Qliphoth Sefirot Kéter (Intro)

2. Neter Khertet

3. Incantatem Grimorioum Lux

4. A.F.L.I.R.( Ritualistic Sounds).

5. Jentyamentiu Averni

The layout of both tapes contents a lot of sigils and meanings, every song has a deep simbology.

On these days, the band is working with the new drummer player to began to record of the new material. Also all the songs, and meaning of the new full album have already been written.

And according to the lyrics style we have created a new band logo. So there it is:

Also the logo have 2 versions, the normal one, with the name in English and the Indian version.

On this material, we are worshiping the ancient gods of India, such as: Kalí Agní and among others, we cannot tell you about everything on this release, but the new material are going to be a very deep spiritual concept and a very rude style of music, as always."

(a short but  I think, a very important  conversation with my Brother in Chaos, Daniel Averx Pérez): 

Ave  my brother Daniel! I would to Hail you with the releasing of Averxu Atrium new material on the tape and I'm so honored that you mentioned me also in your work! Eternal Respect! Where can  order Averxu Atrium fans your new material?

- Thanks for your support brother.

 You can ordered the tape at new order records Costa Rica, this is the page: facebook.com/neworderrecs?fref=ts

As I've seen, Averxu Atrium's opus limited to 100 copies. Have you  any plans to send  your stuff to some labels to share it in Europe?

 - Actually, yesterday, a guy from Germany request 10 tapes for his country, we are honored, because the support in Costa Rica is very poor.

 I'm planning  also to send to you a copy and a lot of friends, bands like, Funeral Winds, Ophidian Coil and Kozeljnik, they  are always support us.

 I've noticed with Morbid Funeral of Costa Rica you at work also. Would you be so kind to tell about more information?

 - Well Morbid Funeral is one of the oldest black metal bands from Costa Rica, they have a lot of materials and tons of interviews, i joined them in 2009, only for a live support but we decided to continue with composing and they include me.

 We became the first black metal band with 7 Ep with label from France, the label is: Legion of death records,(thanks to shaxul for this amazing release).

We are planning a lot of things, such as a split and the new upcoming album.

 You can visit the page:

 www.facebook.com/morbidfuneralcr?fref=ts

You sent me  a link about an awesome track of your another project, called Zwarte Vlam. Enlight us about that project, please!

 - The project began in 2009, the band is running only by myself, the music style is very raw, besides Morbid Funeral and Averxu Atrium, Zwarte Vlam is more underground, and I don’t have any links of the band, only the song on YouTube.

The band has 2 splits and one demo, also I'm recording the new one.

Also you can find all the information in here:

This is the song:

 youtube.com/watch?v=KBkFXauHjDQ

I've been surprised, when I watched the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil in the summer when your country  won against Uruguay (3-1), Italy(1-0) and a 0-0 draw England. In the round of 16 Costa Rica beat Greece 5-3 on penalties (after 1-1 draw). At the quarterfinals the Costa Ricans fought the Netherlands to a 0-0 draw  extra time. On penalties your team lost (3-4). I must to say that Costa Rican team it was so amazing!  Any experiences, when you and your friends watched the matches of your country? 

 - Well, I like soccer but not so much, i only support my local team, but in the world cup Costa Rica won a lot of things, about the experiences, well, I just watched the games with my family, and in the night, hanging out with the brotherhood.

Muchas gracias brother! some thoughts in the end of this mini-interview...

 - Thanks to you brother, I'm very happy of the result of this Ep of Averxu Atrium, we have received a lot of support from many countries, its funny because in Costa Rica the support is never existed only a few people support out arts, and this is very exciting to know people who really support the band and the arts.

Thanks a lot for your time.

Rawar/Andrey Contaminated

Interview with Rawar/Andrey

(Contaminated)

Hail Rawar! Hellcome in Archangel’s Lantern! Enlighten please  firstly the readers about latest news of Contaminated!

- Hail! I’m so glad to share with the readers a very important information: Contaminated ”Your ashes are nothing” has released on Russian label „More hate productions” on 17th of May this year! After the released our first full-length I have given few interviews for the web-zines and fanzines as well. Promotion stuff is on its way....

What is the situation nowadays with Contaminated? Any new tracks, maybe live shows? 

- First of all I would to note that Contaminated  is just a studio project right now but I don’t know what will bring the future.....Maybe we will do some live shows someday. At the moment I have a big problem because Nefarious (guitars) had loss his interests to Contaminated after the release of our full-length..and I still don’t know real cause of that...but I will continue my path with him or with another musicians...

How do you imagine the future of Contaminated?

- Well, I have my  own  visions of development Contaminated’s future style.. it will be more technical death metal style in veins of Martyr (Canada), Beyond Creation, Cryptopsy, Soreption et cetera....but this don’t mean  that I would to copy these bands!

What about your lyrical conception for the new stuff?

- I’ve written 2 new lyrics for the possible EP, called „Transition”, it’s about of Cosmos, Philosophy of human self-destruction and inner dissonance.

How should you imagine your future EP?

- It might be include 2 new tracks and 2 covers (Anthrax "Room for one more” and Pestilence "Mind Reflections”)

With your past band Terrorium at live You played  a few parts of my  first band, Castrum-cover, called Painful Sighs in Castrum and it is a big honor for me. Tell to the readers about it and your live performances of Total cover Party.

- It has been so funny thing :)  It’s happened in one of our live shows in Uzhgorod, 2006. It was a fucken joke because we had a plan to make our audience to smile and You, „mighty” Georgius was captured in the trap because our so called-cover had just a few seconds :) well, about Total cover parties: in my opinion it is a great event. I have been on first show  on Sepultura -"Troops of Doom" (as a vocalist) and Obituary: Redneck Stomp (as a bass-player). Last but not least on 3-rd show I enjoyed with my past band Reusmarkt with my clean vocals on Marduk-"Accuser/Opposer", Lake of Tears-"Ravenland" and growling on Obituary-Chopped in Half. It was so great!

(Rawar, Innominandus and me)

Well, share your thoughts about our common land, Transcarpathia and our common hometown, Uzhhorod/Ungvár.

- I would to say firstly I’m so glad that I was born this beautiful and  charming ancient town. Our region  belongs on the edge of Ukrainian borders of Europe! In our homeland we are living in peace and we  respect   each other in general, as culture, traditions and tranquility.

What’s kind of literature did you read last time?

M. Bukgakov: Morphine
I. Franko: Shadows of forgotten ancestors 
E. Heminghway: The old man and the sea
H.P. Lovecraft: Necronomicon
F. Nietzsche: Philosophy

What are your favourite movies?

- I like so much to watch a lot of different stuff, which contains philosophical and dramatic things :)  I’m tired to watch a popular bullshit  :)

Rawar, what the type of questions do you hate?

- I’m not so familiar about the type of questions, where has been touched my own personal life...and my opinion about global problems of that rotten world. 

As you know, Archangel's Lantern is Eternally dedicated to Jon Nödtveidt. When did you listen to first time Dissection? Which tracks do you like most about Dissection?   Would you be so kind to tell us your opinion about Jon's Heritage?

- The first album of Dissection what I’ve listened to, has been Storm Of The Light's Bane in 2000 and I was shocked by the symbiosis of aggressive and melodic mixture. My favourite tracks are "Unhallowed", "Where Dead Angels Lie", "Night’s Blood", "The Somberlain", "Xeper I Set". I'll always respect his heritage because that person  ’til stays in my eyes as a Real Warrior of his own Path what he has chosen..I think, the man must to search own path by his Art of Creation. The fools  just judge but only the true Ones choose...... I wouldn’t to say any standards about Him just tell, His Art of Dissection never will be forgotten.... Hail  Jon!

Дякую/Thank you very much Rawar! Your Contaminated words to the readers..

- I would wish for the clever ones to stay  just be themselves and fools and posers to clean their minds!

Stay strong and listen to Real music(k)! Hail!

Interview with Rawar of Contaminated 

(Death metal band from Uzhhorod/Ungvár/Ujhhorod) 

in Sadistik Witchfukk webzine (5th of April,2013):

Hailz, Contaminated! Because this is the first interview with you, and there is also lack of information about you on the internet, please tell us your biography!

- Hail Sorin, here is Rawar of Contaminated, firstly a big thanks for your support!

The band has been created in 2007, when 2 friends, Rawar and Nefarious decided to create a death metal band of old-school style. The band recorded their stuff: demo-album "Towards Murderous Compulsion" in 2007 (that demo-album, which one includes 17 tracks in veins of "British death metal school", as  Benediction, Napalm Death ('90's era)). Next demo-album, "Subliminal Absurdity" was released in 2010.

Contaminated band recorded their most professional and technical album, "Your Ashes are Nothing" in March, 2013. That album includes a mixture of American and Dutch death metal traditions of old school.....

Did the members play in other bands? 

- I came into metal music in 1996 and as musician, we, with Nepharious created a death/black metal horde called Anubis in Uzhgorod, in 2001. Anubis band existed until 2005, we played some gigs in our hometown, Uzhgorod, and recorded a demo-album entitled „Heretical Perception” and we had good reception there. After that I did a few shows with a local thrash-band, Terrorium, between 2005-2007, as a drummer. Then I enjoyed (as drummer) in the resurrection of a great Ukranian heathen black metal band, Reusmarkt, with Vladimir(guitars) of Anubis. With Reusmarkt I played a lot of live performances(for example Kolovrat-Fest and crushed some places through Ukraine) and I left that band for personal reasons, one of that it was my loyalty to play old-school death metal.

Well, you are a good death metal band. And the only new good band I know from Uzhgorod. Can you describe the local scene? What about the reactions so far?

- Thanks a lot! As for me I never called  that we had/have a local scene here in Uzhgorod, the reason is simple: we have a lot of bands with excellent shit, „metalcore, punk, deathcore, pseudo-black metal”, that is not my cup of tea. We have a few old bands like Castrum and Soulrest. We never played live but between old-schoolers of our hometown we had and have a good reception. 

Now, let's talk about your debut LP. Give us some info about it!

- The recording process of drums, guitars and bass we did it at „homework-studio”. I hate recording process, I’ve felt sick. Vocals were recorded in Municipal Radio”-studio. That's all.

Did you signed with a label or it will be self-released?

- It has been a self-released one and we’ve sent/will send to a lot of labels through Worldwide.

Did you played any live-shows so far? 

- Still not, but if we will catch a good label, I will search some musicians for the live shows. 

Do you plan to make a tour to promote your album? 

- Let’s see. Hopefully, yes!

What bands influenced you?

- Firstly I had been influenced of American death metal (as Death (R.I.P. Chuck), Obituary, Deicide, Malevolent Creation, Atheist, Resurrection et cetera), Dutch death metal (Pestilence, Gorefest, Sinister, Asphyx). I’d prefer also old school Swedish Dödsmetal, like Grave, Nihilst, Carnage, Entombed, Dismember etc.

Please enlighten us about your lyrical conception.

- That is a good, deep question. In my opinion as music as lyrical conception are whole one! But this does not means black metal position, where lyrics are supreme.

I see that mankind comes to logical end! Because processes of Universe always have the beginning and the end. Then no need to have a surprise, what happening nowadays, it’s a cycle process of time. Humanity are marching to a logical, forthcoming end and going to a new era, but I think the mankind didn’t make some conclusions. Read our lyrics and I hope You’ll understand my opinion about all.

What bands from Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Romania and Moldova can you recommend us? And also from the entire globe(if you can add some)?

- Ok, step by step:

From Russia: Septory, Morrah, Grace Disgraced, Khasm, Sect, Djur….

Ukraine: Sidus Mortuorum, Slaughter Brute, early-Fleshgore, Ulvegr, Violent Omen

From Romania I would like to mention Avatar, and from Moldova Lethal Outcome and Disentomb…

Hungary: Gutted and I know personally a freak funny man, called Georgius, who used to be as vocalist in Hungarian black metal horde, Domhring and early Castrum also. 

Your all-time favourite metal 10 albums are?

1. Death: Spiritual healing

2. Sepultura: Beneath the remains

3. Kreator: Extreme Aggressions

4. Slayer: Divine Intervention

5. Obituary: Cause of Death

6. Devastation: Idolatry

7. Demolition Hammer: Tortured Existence

8. Pestilence: Consuming Impulse

9. Sinister: Diabolical Summoning

10. Benediction: Transcend the Rubicon

( this is random one because I listen to and like much more..:) )

Can you recommend us some foods and drinks from your area?

- It’s funny, I know, but I prefer Italian kitchen :) 

Ok but from local ones I like so much  traditional Ukrainian and Hungarian ones. Some foods for example: borshch, vareniki, rakott krumpli, gulyás. I like good vodka and Bourbon-whisky. And I like also a good Czech or German beer.

That's all for now. The last words are yours...

- Mersi, Sorin, for your support again! Open your eyes and ears to Contaminated because we are working with our official site in facebook. You do a great job with supporting of true underground, wish you all the best, Transcarpathian regards!

    (INTERVIEW BY NECROTROOPER)

Zarthan Avtomat Kalashnikova

Interview with Zarthan Avtomat Kalashnikova

(KING, EVIL DEAD Productions)

Hail Brother Zarthan! When did you become as a maniac of metal music? What was your first band?

- Hail Brother Georgius, first at all, thanks for your friendship and support to my band and also to the underground.

- Since I was a little kid I used to listen to some Glam and Rock N’Roll bands like Black Sabbath, KISS, AC/DC, Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, Skid Row, Motley Crue, etc. Then, when I was like 11 o 12 years old I started to listen to bands like Venom, Possessed, Impaled Nazarene, Sepultura, Parabellum…. And Fuck! Since that, my life has changed totally.

For a long time in my life I tried to create a band, but unfortunately, the people I knew preferred to get drunk or high and I lost a lot of time on it. In 2002 I began a Death Metal band named MARDRAUM with my warbrother Nekromanzer. I was Vocal/Lead Guitar, we only released a demo and the band decided to spilt up in 2008. Now we are going to play again. In 2009 I began to play with KING and also this year I’m a lead vocal in a new band Called PESTUM.

How did you enjoy Colombian death/black horde, KING? You recorded your first full-length in 2012 called ”Forged by Satan’s Doctrine”. How was its reception in the underground metal press?

- KING is a big part of my life, I feel really proud to play on it. Our album had a great reception and very good comments from a lot or people, zines, webzines, TV shows, radio shows, even we stay between the 10 most listened songs in a radio show from USA in 2012. A lot of people ask us about the next album release, some bands have contacted us for record splits and also some labels have contacted us to release our next album.

Would you be so kind to tell to the readers about latest news of KING?

- We are working on composing new songs for our next album that will be named “Blood, Fire & Black Magic” and we are going to studio as soon as possible. We are also talking to Bizarre Death Distro (Colombia) to release a Split in vinyl.

Share with us about live activity of your band!

- We have faced a lot of problems with our drummers and we have spent too much time without  live performances, we had been forced to cancel several concerts in Colombia, South America, tours and in fact a tour in Europe. We like our live performances, they are very really brutal (comments from the audience and media), we think that music and visual must be brutal and be unholy so we made stuff in order to recreate a profane stage.

Now we have a drummer, He plays in a Black/Thrash Metal band called Murmur, we are working in our new album with him and some old songs. As soon as we have completed a set list, we are going to work in order to make live shows again.

As far as I know, you made a lot of artworks, layouts and designs to bands as legendary Colombian Masacre, Detriktuss, Slander, Seeds of Iblis, Lust, Mortiferian and last but not least King. Enlight us please about these details!   

        

- I’m a Graphic Designer, the most of my work is commercial stuff for companies, business, individuals, etc…  I really like my job and I love to create and design.

With the exception of Lust, the rest of the bands are very close friends of mine, included Lust’s record label “Non-Serviam Records”. I’m passionate enough to help in the design of their albums, also I frequently create flyers, stickers, Banners, logos, posters, etc. to local bands, producers and labels.

 If I’m not mistaken, You are working in EVIL DEAD Productions in Medellin. What we should to know about it?

- Me and my very close friends, decided to make shows with local and international bands, we are tired about some producer and festivals that promise a lot of stuffs to the bands but at the end they only give a lot of shit and empty promises and also when an international band plays, the promoters tend to ask the opening band to pay a lot of money to play (What the Fuck is that shit, I’m no going to pay money to play). I and my brothers are really sick about it, so we decided to create Evil Dead Production.  We have made some festivals with local and international bands and now we are working in our next show with “Terrorizer” and a local legend “Averno” that haven´t play for 18 years.  We are a small label right now but we have plans to be a big label with the pass of the time.

Which bands could you recommend us from the Colombian scene?

- Damn here we have a lot of great bands.  I will try to recommend you some of them:

Masacre, Death Kult, Pestum, Morbid Macabre, Warthrash, Utuk Xul, Gomory, Pagan Abomination, Erzebet, Murmur, Thy Endless Whrath, Averno, Impaler of Pest, Savage Aggression, Invocacion, Aorta, Tzelmoth, Terror, No Mercy, Hellworld, Dirges, Nebiros, Oscuridad, Infernal, Reencarnacion, Black Ceremony,  Urian, Melancolia 666, Nhokk, Nocturnal Feelings, Perverse Suffering…. and the list continues...

As you see, my small web-blog is dedicated to Jon Andreas Nödtveidt... What's your opinion about Him? Did He inspired you ever?

- Jon is a Metal Music Icon, his music, his ideals, everything. He is one of the biggest influences in the Metal scene around the world. I knew Dissection when I was really young and I have never stopped listening to his music, and Jon is a great influence for me and my band mates. 

Your top 10 all-time favourite bands/albums are..?

- I don’t have a specific order:

 Morbid Angel – Altars of Madness

Impaled Nazarene - Tol Cormpt Norz Norz Norz...

Possessed – Seven Churches

Venom – Black Metal

Bathory – Under the Sign of The Black Mark

Parabellum – Sacrilegio

Hellhammer – Satanic Rites

Dissection – Storm of the Light's Bane

Sarcofago – INRI

Beherit - Drawing Down the Moon

Masacre - Reqviem

Sorry but I wrote 11, hahaha 10 are few.

Do you have any hobbies besides music?

- I am a passionate about Design, I like so much Movies like terror, horror, gore movies and those in which the world and mankind collapse. Also I love to travel, have sex, go to the Gym, exercise and practice Krav Maga (I have to stop due to a problem in my back) , read especially occult and paranormal themes and drink alcohol.

What recommendations do you have from Colombian cuisine? Can you recommend us some kind of drinks, coffee and tobaccos from Colombia?

- I only recommend you Coffee, Cocaine and Vaginas; the local alcohol is very bad, tastes like dog piss compared with European or North American drinks. However, Colombia has great and amazing landscapes, Mountains, Woods, Beaches, a variety of hot and easy to get women.

Muchas gracias, Zarthan! Your message to the readers of Archangel’s Lantern..

- Thank you again Georgius for your support and friendship, and for the readers… keep the black flame alive and support the underground, stop download music and buy it!!!

 HAIL SATAN!!!!

Hendrik Bruns

Interview with Hendrik Bruns (Obscenity)

Georgius: Hail Henne! First of all I would to congratulate you on your 25th Anniversary of Obscenity. Tell us please about the beginnings briefly! When did you become a metalhead?

 

- Hi Georg, first of all thanx for the wishes and the interview.

It was in 1983 when I was in the age of 13 , I had the first contact with my all-time favourite band Kiss! Got a few LP´s of them and afterwards I was interested in WASP and Mötley Crüe.. A couple of years later I heard of Accept and Helloween, Slayer and stuff like that. Slayer was totally new for a boy like me. This music was hard to understand for me at first.. but the more I heard that stuff, the more I liked it. Venom, Exodus and Destruction followed and a few years later the first Death Metal Bands came over to Germany. One of the first I heard were Monstrosity and Morbid Angel...

I have to admit that Monstrosity are one of my biggest influences in playing metal music...

Barbara (Northern Ireland): Which band or bands influenced You in the early years and why?

 - I had several bands before we started with Obscenity. But as we started we were musically  influenced by Sepultura, Morbid Angel, Monstrosity and Deicide. In the late 80's we don´t have much bands in this genre and we didn´t have much information outside Germany and Europe. We had magazines and Radiobroadcast to inform who these bands are and where they come from. There was no Youtube and no Facebook. Internet was not existing!

This was one the main reason the metal scene was developed very slow but intense.

Sorin (Romania): For the debut LP you signed with West Virginia Records, and you release only one album with them. How did you signed with them and why the "relationship" lasted for one album only?

 

- Right, it was our first deal in 91. We sent our demo “ Age of Brutality” to all Metal Labels in Europe. Soon we had an offer from WVR Recs. We met them and signed the contract for one long-player. Had a cool time with them, and like to remember the recording time when we met Andy and Sabina Classen, Venom´s Cronos and all the other guys who were on the label..

After a few Years later the label split up .. but don´t ask me about the reason. We had no information.Maybe a bankrupt or a split, I have no clue...

Sorin: Well, your debut "Suffocated Truth" is my favourite Obscenity release. But, for some reason it is very hard to buy it and a 2nd copy is very expensive. Do you plan to re-release it someday?

- Yes, Suffo and Perversion will be re-released by a Dutch Label called Vic Records. The release date is unknown but I guess it will be late 2014. 

Georgius: After the release of the 2012 album, ”Atrophied in Anguish” (Apostasy Records), (where Jeff Rudes did a hellish good job, as vocalist) Jeff has been replaced by the new one, Tobias Mueller. Share us about it some information: where did You meet him and did he play in any band(s) before?

- Jeff did well, in fact. But his private situation did not allow him to go on with making music. Our bass player Joerg came up with Tobias. They are friends for more than a decade now. We already knew some of his former work with other bands and invited him to join us for a rehearsal session. Well, what could I say… a couple weeks later we played the ExtremeFest altogether and we´re pretty sure he´ll kick your asses on the new album as he did at the shows since he joined us. 

Georgius: Would You be so kind to tell us about Your latest live shows? Maybe You will come to play to Hungary in the near future?

- Our last shows took place in Hamburg, Leipzig, our home town Oldenburg, there also was an open air session in Bavaria and the underground remains open air in Goettingen. All went pretty well and we´ve had a lot of fun playing these gigs. For Hungary, that would be totally awesome! I hope someone reading this gets in touch with us and we´ll get the opportunity to play for you guys sooner than later!

Joanna (Poland/Germany): You made a great video in 2012, called „From Heroic to Depraved” with Matt Knust, do you have any plans to do another one with him? 

- Yes, definitely! It´s still too early to say what we´re going to do or even which song we´ll be using. But there´s a video to come to support the album as soon as it´s done, we promise. And Matt is our very first choice to help us realizing it.

Joanna: Is there any plan to release an Obscenity-DVD or something special one for the 25th Anniversary? 

- That would have been great, but we´re too busy with working on the new material and playing shows. So, unfortunately there won´t be a DVD or something like that in the near future. We hope the next record will compensate this lack.

Georgius: What is the situation with the new Obscenity tracks? It would be great to listen to some new ones of Obscenity soon.

- We´re doing good at writing new songs and a good deal of work has already been done. There´s no exact recording date yet, but it´ll be around the end of the year probably as we´ll also play some shows in the mean time. So don´t worry, we´ll be up with new stuff pretty soon.

Innominandus (Ukraine): it is a bit hard question, I know but what are your favourite Obscenity-tracks and why?

- The songs I wrote. They contains all ,a good song needs ..hahaha. No, there are a lot of songs I like. For example “The Arrival”, "Alien Hand Syndrome", "Die Again", "Infestical Plague"... I can name a few more. It is hard to answere, you know. I like these kinda songs who were fast and static with a good melodic solo. 

Georgius: Your 10 all-time fave albums are?

 

KISS- the complete stuff

 Sepultura – Beneath the remains

 Monstrosity – In dark purity

 Loudness -- Lightning strikes

 Bad Religion – No Control / Suffer

 The Exploited – Beat the bastards

 Exhorder – Slaughter in the Vatican

 Pretty Maids- Pandemonium / Motherland

 MP – Bursting out

 VoiVod – Angel Rat

Innominandus: The German metal scene is an excellent one since 80’s.... Would You be so kind recommend us some newcomer bands from Germany, maybe from your area?

- Hmm, there are no well known Bands around here. Only a few demo bands ..I really don´t know their names, I am sorry.  But I can recommend “BlackShore”, a Black Metal band with much different  influences. Good guys we often played with. Check them out!

Georgius: What bands from Hungary and Ukraine do You know? Have you ever been in Hungary? 

- Ektomorf and Tormentor are from Hungary, I guess. And if I´m right, there´s Fleshgore from Ukraine.

Tobias has been to Hungary for a holiday trip, he once told us, but I really don´t know if he watched some metal shows back then.

Barbara (Northern Ireland) : What is your favorite place to holiday and how do you do stress?

- I have been travelling to France / Metz, the last 2 years. And we had a gig many years ago in a small cellar club. I love this old city and the river Moselle. When the weather is good , go and drink some red wine and watch out for the sunset. It is really relaxing !

Georgius: Vielen dank, Henne! Wish you all the Be(a)st with Obscenity and please, put your message to the readers of Archangel’s Lantern.

  

- Ok, George. Thanx for having us in your mag. Stay tuned and watch out for the next album. The songs are already written and arranged. The cover is in progress. But I did not reveal the album title,haha. Make ready for some changes, guys. It will be a Death- feast ….Stay obscene !
