01. CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BAND FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NEVER HEARD OF YOU BEFORE?

Neldöreth was formed in 2004 by myself (Oz Bloodcurse) and Brad Feist. We had been together in a local symphonic black metal band called Dark Symphony, but that wasn't doing anything worth a shit, so we decided to form something more to our suiting and left to form a Satanic Black Metal band together. I am the only original member left and have since released three full length albums and one EP. 

02. CAN YOU GIVE US AN UPDATE ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE BAND SINCE THE RECORDING AND RELEASE OF THE NEW ALBUM?

The album came out in 2013. Since then we've done a few US tours to promote the album and some festival dates throughout the States. We just inked a deal with Pagan Pride Records to release our material in the States. We are now finishing up the writing of Saints of Blasphemy II: Communion of the Abhorrent and hope to begin recording the album in the Fall. Then in May we're doing a short week long tour in the States with two other up and coming black metal bands and plan to do a full month tour in Fall 2015 to promote the new record.

03. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR MUSICAL SOUND?

That's a really hard question for me to answer. We have a great mix of a lot of sounds. Black metal, death metal, doom, some thrash. We have a decent mix.

04. WHAT IS THE MEANING BEHIND THE BAND NAME?

Neldoreth was a forest that was part of the kingdom of Doriath in J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Silmarillion", although the band's lyrics are not based on Tolkien works. I think we've given the name our own meaning, because when people hear the name they don't think of Lord of the Rings, but they think of us.

05. HOW IS THE ACTUAL LINE UP?

Myself (Oz Bloodcurse) on vocals. Loki Syx on guitars, Ixitichitl (from the band Manticore) on bass, and Vehemence on drums. Although when we tour we use hired guys as some of our guys cannot tour often due to commitments to their own bands and projects.

06. WHO WRITES THE MUSIC AND LYRICS?

For the new album Loki is writing all the music and I've always written all the lyrics.

07. WHAT MERCHANDISE DO YOU STILL HAVE AVAILABLE?

Saints of Blasphemy I CDs and we have a few Devil Tarot Card t-shirts for sale also. Fans can message us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/neldoreth666) to order.

08. COMMENT ABOUT ¨THE SAINTS OF BLASPHEMY - I: BAPTIZED IN BLASPHEMY ( FULL-LENGTH) ?

Baptized in Blasphemy is the first part of a trilogy. Based on the Saints of Blasphemy, who were all fallen angels who followed Lucifer. This first part tells of their descent onto earth to bring about the end of Christianity. It's the final album to feature longtime songwritter Darrell Creel, who left the band in mid 2012. It also features legandary Demonic Christ frontwoman, Dana Duffey on the song "Abomination Proclaimed Through Heresy".

09. WHAT´S THE SATANISM FOR YOU?

I really do not like to discuss my Satanism in interviews, as I feel I cannot fully explain my beliefs in a short answer, but to give you a basic idea...I am a Theistic Satanist...I am a Devil Worshiper....I do black magick rituals and everything the band does on album or live is a ritual and a opus to our Master Satan.

10. AS YOU SEE THE UNDERGROUND SCENE ON YOUR COUNTRY?

The black metal underground in the US, has it's good points and bad points. There is a lot of good bands and very close and loyal friendships, but there is also a lot of shit talking and bullshit with some...but that happens in every scene.

11. TELL US NOW YOUR FAVE BANDS AND ALBUNS?

Some of my favorite bands would be Angelcorpse, Dissection, Deiphago, Watain, Demonic Christ, Ptahil, Behexen, Beherit, Candlemass, Running Wild, Impiety, Incantation, Vital Remains.

12. WHAT´RE YOU FUTURE PLANS?

To finish up the new album and tour for it. We hope to visit Europe and South America also very soon!

13. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ANY LAST COMMENTS?

I see it like a sick, brutal and no bullshit music that of course is a life style for a more brutal metalhead...a thing that always will be there for you, a thing to live for and support and keep it underground and if people don't understand it...fuck off

05. WHAT IS THE IDEOLOGY OF EXCESSIVE SLAPPED?

Just make more shit to the genre i think...we are not so serious at the time...

Fuck yeah...no just keep it death metal, i am just happy if people check out this project maybe will put it out on band camp...we have a Facebook site so check it out and keep it metal...metal is my life, metal in my veins...brutality in my head

01. HOW ALL STARTED?

Everything began in 2010 when two participants of group wanted to create the new project, one was fond earlier the punk of fate, another played in HUNNGARD group (pagan death metal) earlier. I never knew these dudes, and they began without me. Everything was very long. The first concert was at a festival Rock Parel in Mariupol in 2011. The collective worked nine months over the program. Mariupol quite strange city in the relation threw scenes. Festivals here take place very seldom on holidays, as for metal of festivals, it is very big rarity. And to act there is nobody. Very big number of beginning groups, here they simply teem, and how many groups gather and break up every year without having started even rehearsing normally and seriously to work over the program. Well I think that it is in each city. Collectives gather in this city very seldom. Especially I threw orientations. At us no, I didn't throw portals, not forums on which musicians communicate and look for new participants of groups. And therefore if to gather somehow the project, or there will be any concert, this quite big sobity.

02. WHAT´SYOUR INFLUENCES?

 I am engaged in it already enough much. This year there will be 8 years as for the first time took a guitar. I always wanted to play something eksrimalny and melodious that will be always interesting to the listener. Certainly there is a lot of influences. Naturally the known heavy-metal is the basis, still those pioneers such as the uncle Ingvi, by Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and similar old and all... who plays and it is still possible. But this project any was a little not usual in that plan that everyone began to determine by the that it was. That is there are many opinions about it.Rather pagan subjects which were offered by the bass player were the basis Khoroyar group. As for music, about everyone year it changed, changed and finished, that is it was formed quite long time, and different people.

03. HOW DO YOU DEFINE KHOROYAR MUSIC?

 Music of Khoroyar group is any not a clear substitute, there are various styles, everything was composed on pieces, and to tell heavy to tell on more precisely what it is similar. So the majority and thinks today. But certainly in what framework it is similar to melodious deadly metal, but with some new knocks, more the modernist style that - whether sounds than those in the 90th years when played. Personally I thought over it very much how to improve a sound, in respect of notes and in respect of sounding. Over it we took a steam bath much. Reached before that identical sensors on guitars simply bought from us there were seymor duncan blackouts AHB-1 set, but one guitar sounded more in a low timbre, and the second rather in more average, at the correct panorama and sounding distance, even playing not on a lamp we could build up quite interesting mix. We never worked with a tube sound, it wasn't simple such opportunity. And we could achieve quite good sounding with those which we had.

04. HOW IS THE ACTUAL LINE UP?

 If to speak about the facts, actually it is quite big problem. Groups also represent a big problem. Both financial, and organizational, temporary. On it too many forces are necessary, many don't maintain and throw simply.That big return, aspiration, desire to create is necessary to be engaged in it.

05. DID YOU HAVE PLAYED MANY GIGS?

 I will tell you that this group it is possible to tell even still made nothing. You can see our concerts here. The group acted with the Ukrainian local teams, and also European same but it is possible above on level teams. Separately I could tell the impressions about experience of game on one scene with group Unearthly (black-death, Brazil).Here some concerts which to all of us were remembered.

06.WHAT MERCHANDISE DO YOU STILL HAVE AVAILABLE?

 I think who many beginning collectives will agree with me that merchandise and similar production can be sold at concerts, and it usually only and rescues young collectives as now all are known that to count on something very hard, in any case to speak about stars at which now at all very big problems with concerts, with finance and an opupayemost of this musical business. At present there is available no merchandise.

07. TELL US MORE ABOUT KHOROYAR - NEW HERO EP?

 This my work first by a demo. We didn't begin to sell it on a label and didn't plan rather as it there was far not a master record. We didn't expect to do it on sale. The matter is that the public very much demanded, it wanted to hear us in a MP3 and as though and all the others were not against. We wrote down this work in one house studio at one companion at the beginning of November. It was very heavy as time in Ukraine not warm, heating in that room didn't suffice, it was cold. But there was to have a rest no time. There was a problem with sound extraction, at many, and also a problem with a vocal which many time corresponded and as on me it doesn't sound ideally, so actually the vocalist thinks. Sounds so-so.So actually think all from us. But there were serious problems with finance, time, the bass player was ill then. 

To it was hard vchery to come and accumulate party. So all moved very long and hard. The sound was created on one American sound card, honestly I don't remember on what, but sounded it enough not badly. About texts I would like to add that texts about actually about Russia, old times, and volume who were these people - Slavs. It were very fine people. Texts were not author's and one our friend who lived for couple one hundred kilometers from us to the north. Our bass player remembered this author on the to last groups.The sound was removed long enough. As for personally me that I made everything that from me was required. But then then I understood what mistakes we made, but already was late. Everything went a lump.In this work you can hear the electronic drums, the emulated guitars, some reverberation, but as a whole certainly at that time it was pleasant to me, but there was one nuance, a sound to me it seems it turned out plastic, not real a little, and very chilly everything sounds in that plan that something doesn't suffice, probably keyboard or something else... I can't precisely tell.But as I understood further... This work appeared not so heavy considering that its fund at that time was in 2012 of only $200. It certainly is ridiculous, but we as though and weren't able to afford the bigger.As a whole, I think, this work was pleasant to much, and local and in other countries on the world.

08. HOW`S UKRAINE UNDERGROUND SCENE?

 The scene of heavy metal of Ukraine simply teems with similar collectives. Ukrainian metal the scene totals huge number of groups of different substyles, but its level very low. As a whole, to Ukraine there come different foreign guests. They here in a priority. On them enough not badly go almost always. I will tell some names which personally are pleasant to me. In similar style play in Ukraine the following groups: Sol Inside, Dimicandum, INFINITE TALES, BALFOR, FLESHGORE (brutal metal), MORTON (heavy/power metal), JINJER and similar, is a lot of them that all won't go in in the head. Yes and no sense to list as a sound of the Ukrainian groups very budgetary, and it is far not the professional. On fingers it is possible to list those who has a professional sound.In Ukraine there is a lot of musicians. Rather as well as in the Scandinavian countries, only sound all differently.

But as though there wasn't, Ukraine remains quite attractive scene for all stars even the world scale sometimes come to the capital of Kiev. As will be will show time further. But it seems to me we in this plan are still very far from ideality. We have no normal professional threw studios. It is the fact. That is to create a normal product it is necessary to go abroad to Europe or Scandinavia for receiving the corresponding sound. All gangs are written at studios which have total fund simply ridiculous and scanty. In total on a minimum. In Russia just the same situation. And even worse in some far places.

09. WHAT´RE YOU FUTURE PLANS?

 Future plans... ? ? ) Well rather this desire to understand that in Ukraine will be that that it won't be a shame show to the world can. Actually, plans are. But there was no wish to disclose them. And everything can exchange at any time. At this stage our country endures serious difficulties. All of you know from world news that at us here occurs, but all are optimistic. All dream that it once will pass and never more than the such will repeat. Now very few people play here.

10.THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE SUPPORT. PLEASE, ANY LAST COMMENTS?

 All many thanks! I am always glad to communicate on this subject. Who yet wasn't everything at us I advise to visit our country a bit later. There is much that interesting. Come on international a rock festival it is worth it there to visit.

01. O QUE MOTIVOU A FORMAÇÃO DA BANDA HON-RA? 
Devido à decepções musicais e por não concordar com as diversas regras ditadas e impostas, em alguns trabalhos passados. Por já se conhecerem e por ter tocado juntos anteriormente Jener e Wagner resolveram montar uma banda que teria por objetivo tocar apenas musicas próprias, sendo assim fechando com suas ideias em comum. 

02. COMO SURGIU A IDEIA PARA O NOME DA BANDA? 
Sempre percebemos uma certa falta de hombridade, honestidade e caráter por conta de alguns antigos companheiros de banda, então Jener e Wagner encontraram um nome que representa todas estas qualidades, cuja as quais sempre buscaram. 
“É preciso ter honra para pertencer ao METAL”... 

03. VOCÊS TIVERAM EXPERIÊNCIAS EM TOCAR EM OUTRAS BANDAS? QUAIS? 
Sim, porém não vale à pena citar nomes aqui. 

04. COMO ESTÁ A ATUAL FORMAÇÃO? 
Atualmente contamos com: 
Jener Milani.:. Guitarra Base e Voz 
Wagner de Moraes.:. Guitarra Solo 
Mateus Perotti.:. Bateria 

05. QUEM ESCREVE AS LETRAS? QUE TEMAS ABORDAM? 
O responsável pelas letras da banda é o Wagner de Moraes. Dentre as letras divulgadas até o momento, abordam os seguintes temas: 
Lord Of War – Guerra 
From The Shadows Of Depths – Apocalipse e inferno espiritual 
Demons On The Run – Inferno espiritual 
Evil Shadows – Inferno espiritual 
Hon-Ra – Caráter, hombridade e palavra de honra 
Obs.: Nossas letras são histórias fictícias em geral, porém isso não vale para a letra de Hon-Ra, esta é baseada em fatos reais. 

06. COMO DEFINEM O SOM DO HON-RA? 
Nunca quisemos rotular um estilo para a banda, acima de tudo somos METAL. Para definir melhor o nosso trabalho, acreditamos que seja o Thrash Death. 

07. QUAIS SUAS BANDAS PREFERIDAS? 
Poderíamos citar várias, mas dentre elas... 
Jener Milani – Slayer, Megadeth, Metallica, Death, Cannibal Corpse 
Wagner de Moraes – Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Motörhead 
Mateus Perotti  –  Nile, Krisiun, Morbd Angel, Motörhead ,Deicide...

08. COMENTE SOBRE A COMPOSIÇÃO DA MÚSICA: LORD OF WAR. INCLUSIVE SOBRE A LETRA? 
A música Lord Of War, foi o primeiro trabalho da Hon-Ra. A mesma canção chegou a ser rejeitada quando Wagner apresentou-a para a banda que ele pertencia naquela época. MORAES: Lembro-me claramente, das palavras do baixista da época: “Esta música é muito simples e não tem conteúdo”. Anos depois, foi à canção que deu inicio a todo o trabalho da banda Hon-Ra, e que gerou um grande índice de acesso no BDG – Bandas de Garagem. 
A letra conta a história de soldados e de sua devoção ao senhor da guerra. 

09. O QUE PODE NOS DIZER SOBRE A CRIAÇÃO DO CLIP DA MÚSICA: FROM THE SHADOWS OF THE DEPTHS? 
O vídeo é totalmente independente e produzido pela Hon-Ra, desde as gravações musicais, imagens e edição de vídeo. 
O clipe foi criado e desenvolvido por Jener, que estudou como gravar cenas, como montar cenários, como fazer efeitos especiais e como editar o vídeo. JENER: “Pelas câmeras fotográficas que utilizamos para fazer as filmagens na época, o resultado foi melhor do que o esperado”. “Todos ficamos contentes com o resultado”. 

10. QUANDO ENTRARÃO EM ESTÚDIO PARA GRAVAR ALGO OFICIAL EM CD? 
Ainda não temos previsão de gravar algum CD completo. A proposta da banda no momento é lançar singles, ou seja, música a música. 

11. VOCÊS TEM FEITO APRESENTAÇÕES AO VIVO? COMO ESTÁ SENDO A REPERCURSSÃO? 
Não, a Hon-Ra é uma banda que optou por trabalhar de outra forma: atualmente estamos produzindo canções e trabalhando a imagem da banda (marketing). A previsão para apresentações é a partir de novembro de 2014. Estamos trabalhando muito para isso. 


12. EM COMPOSIÇÔES FUTURAS, VOCÊS AGREGARIAM OUTROS TIPOS DE INSTRUMENTOS MUSICAIS? POR QUE? 
Não descartamos esta hipótese, apesar de estarmos muito satisfeitos com os resultados obtidos com a formação atual. 

13. QUAIS SEUS PLANOS FUTUROS? 
Divulgar o nosso trabalho através da internet fazendo com que ele seja visto por todo o mundo. Sermos vistos e reconhecidos através das nossas próprias canções e não cover. Fazer shows, e levar toda a nossa força METAL para os nossos fãs. 

14. OBRIGADO PELA ATENÇÃO. QUER DEIXAR ALGUMA MENSAGEM AOS LEITORES? 
Desde já queremos agradecer a você Marcos Cezar do HELL’S FRIENDS ZINE a oportunidade de poder divulgar um pouco do nosso trabalho. E aos leitores do seu blog fica o nosso muito obrigado, e caso tenham interesse em conhecer ainda mais sobre a banda, fica o nosso contato através dos links oficiais da banda Hon-Ra.

01. TELL US ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF MALIGNANT GERM INFESTATION?

The beginning of MGI started in 2005 and was pretty much me and a friend making stupid songs about things we didn't like in life. However I then decided to take on the project solo and started creating the sickest music possible, covering many themes that would offend and make the average person feel a little queasy in the stomach. We have had a number of releases over the years including some split cd's with some great bands and we do perform live from time to time as well. Over the years I have had various musicians help me perform the music live, however now it's a pretty solid 3 piece band.

02. HOW YOU DEFINE YOUR MUSIC?

Our music is so hard to define.... But generally you could say "Cyber Porno Gore Grind" as we do extreme metal, using a drum machine, plenty of synth and samples. We are also a band which nobody should take 100% seriously, as we don't take ourselves too seriously. I say that as we are a kind of comedy act at the same time as performing extreme metal, as we use some happy sounding riffs, comedy samples, have some humorous song titles/lyrics, generally bizarre moments in our music and an elaborate but again humorous stage show.

03. DID YOU HAVE PLAYED MANY GIGS?

We don't play that often to be honest, currently we do a gig every 3/4 months, but if we could we would play a lot more often as we enjoy playing this music a lot and would like to get out and show the world what MGI is all about and hopefully get a few more people into it! So far the general audience response is pretty good from our gigs as we put on an insane show to go along with our music and we do something a bit different every show. The outfits always change (Except our vocalist "The Wolfman" who is seen in a khaki jump suit etc...) some of the on-stage antics may be done in various shows, but there is always something new to be witnessed.

04. HOW IS THE ACTUAL LINE UP?

The band started off with me alone, (Rob Jeremy) however over the years the live line-up has changed a lot but currently the line up is pretty solid, "The Wolfman" is the main second member covering the majority of the lyric writing and vocal duties live for some years and on the recordings since the album "Into The Asylum Of The Sexually Deranged". I do most of the song writing and recording myself and we also have a live bass player who is known as "Johndom" who has also contributed a couple of riffs to some songs which have yet to be recorded. 

05. WHAT MERCHANDISE DO YOU STILL HAVE AVAILABLE?

We have a couple of CD's left in stock in limited quantities, these are the double album "Into The Asylum Of The Sexually Deranged" which is an interesting release as the first disc is the metal side of the band with our generally quirkiness mixed in though the second disc is completely full of synth tracks and piss take rap-songs. This album was the first release after a 3/4 year hiatus so there was a lot of material in the works during that time so it made sense to release a double disc album mixing our metal and synth tracks together in one release.

We also have available our latest release, again in limited numbers, "Angry Toilet" this is a split CD with a band who we're personally friendly with called "Sperm Injection" which is a one man act from Marcus PhD, Sperm Injections music is very hard to define but it's a sort of electronic grind, again with a similar humour as MGI so the split works really well with both bands together.= on one disc. + This album also boasts the beautiful artwork of Lou Rusconi, who has done art for us before and never disappoints, he's a sick artist and blew us away with this cover, it represents the songs perfectly!

We also have a T Shirt available in our store which is again very limited. This is the "Slashed Up, Splattered Guts and Eternally Fucked" design.

I guess there is also the majority of our back catalogue on bandcamp which can also be purchased/donated to as well.

06. TELL US ABOUT THE SCENE IN UK?

The metal scene in the UK is pretty strong. There are a lot of great bands from the UK who are playing shows and doing their thing and hopefully on a small scale these bands (like ourselves) will continue to play shows and keep the scene alive. On a higher scale we tend to get a lot of high profile acts coming through the country on tours, especially in London as well as having a few metal festivals each year, so we always have some great bands playing somewhere. The support from British metal fans is also pretty good, people travel all over the country to go and see the bands they love and often support the bands by buying the CDs and T Shirts as well as being a pretty mad crowd which always makes a gig that bit better.

07. WHAT ARE YOUR INSPIRATIONS FOR THE YOUR MUSICS?

As a band we have a lot of different inspiration as far as our stuff goes as we aren't only inspired by other music, but other forms of media and art as well. As far as music inspiration goes of course the main inspiration is other metal acts, i'm not going to go into listing them as there are too many to name! But we also listen to lots of different types of music which ranges from hiphop/grime to industrial or classical. The inspiration from other types of music I think does help us find a bit of a different/more unique sound to most extreme metal bands and can be heard quite frequently in our music.

08. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT. ANY LAST COMMENTS?

Thanks to you for giving us this interview and helping support underground metal in general! Of course we send our thanks to anyone who helps to support our band, so thanks to everyone out there who is buying the music/merch, spreading word about us or putting us on at shows!
