Impetus Malignum - Fate In Flesh

IMPETUS MALIGNUM

O1. ANTES DE FORMAREM A BANDA IMPETUS MALIGNUM VOCÊS JÁ HAVIAM TIDO EXPERIÊNCIA EM OUTRAS BANDAS?

O Disarmoneous, antes de ser guitarrista foi baixista da Vultus Devast, já participou em outras bandas, como a Cement Rain, tocando baixo e cantando. Já eu e o Defterus nos conhecemos desde os tempos de escola, mas essa é a nossa primeira experiência.


02. COMO SURGIU A IDEIA DE FORMAR A BANDA IMPETUS MALIGNUM?


Com o fim da Vultus Devast, o Disarmoneous decidiu fundar uma banda onde a influência Black Metal fosse mais evidente, pois uma das causas da dissolução se deu por conta de divergências de influências entre os membros.

03. COMO VOCÊS DEFINEM O SOM DA BANDA?

Metal Extremo.

04. QUEM ESCREVE AS LETRAS? DE ONDE VEM AS INSPIRAÇÕES PARA ESCREVÈ-LAS?


O Disarmoneous e eu, pois além das letras, também escrevo contos. Quem quiser conferir o meu trabalho pode acessar o link abaixo https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sathanya-Writer-and-Drummer/1375074496143224?fref=ts. Quanto à inspiração, ela está em toda parte, desde um livro que lemos até uma conversa ou algo que vemos na rua, mesmo sendo aparentemente algo muito comum. Não é a informação em si, mas aquilo que nós fazemos com ela.

05. QUAIS SUAS PRINCIPAIS INFLUÊNCIAS?

Ouço todos os tipos de Metal, Rock, Música Clássica e Folclórica.


06. CONTE NOS MAIS SOBRE O SPLIT: WHEN DARKNESS DEVOURS THE LIGHT?


Nos finados tempos de MSN, eu conheci o Warlesson, da Dark New Age Records, que nos fez a proposta do lançamento em conjunto com a Thorny Woods. Tempos depois ele sumiu, ninguém sabe para onde… é isso, não há muito mais a ser dito.

07. FOI ATRAVÉS DESTE TRABALHO QUE SURGIU A OPORTUNIDADE DE ABRIR SHOW PARA A BANDA OTARGOS DA FRANÇA? COMO FOI?

Exato, e foi esse um dos melhores shows, na minha opinião, que nós já fizemos.


08. E SOBRE O EP: DEATHRIDE E O VÍDEO QUE LEVA O MESMO NOME? COMO FOI A PRODUÇÃO E DIVULGAÇÃO?

Tudo feito pelo Disarmoneous, por mim, e com a ajuda de duas amigas que filmaram o vídeo aqui em casa. nossas divulgações são feitas por redes sociais.




09. QUAIS FORAM AS PRINCIPAIS DIFICULDADES QUE A BANDA ENFRENTOU ATÉ O MOMENTO?


O underground não é fácil para banda alguma, especialmente de gêneros extremos, porém, uma dificuldade que me vem à mente é a falta de locais para tocar, visto que ultimamente muitos deles fecharam por não estarem adaptados a algumas regras quanto à emissão de decibéis.



10. O ÁLBUM STORMS OF FIRE LANÇADO EM 2013 PELA SATAN´S HAMMER SEGUE A MESMA LINHA SONORA QUE O SPLIT? QUE MUDANÇAS OCORRERAM?


Sim e não. Ainda é a mesma banda, preservando suas características mais essenciais, entretanto, mais evoluída, mais agressiva e direta.



11. VOCÊS TEM SE APRESENTADO BASTANTE AO VIVO? QUAIS FORAM OS SHOWS MAIS MARCANTES?


É difícil dizer. Cada qual possui suas peculiaridades. É muito bom tocar por aí de forma geral e é essa uma das melhores partes de integrar uma banda.



12. PARA QUEM QUISER ADQUIRIR SEUS ÁLBUNS JÁ LANÇADOS COMO PROCEDER?


Podem entrar em contato com a Satan´s Hammer, cujo link eu colo a seguir
https://www.facebook.com/pages/Satans-Hammer-Attack-Records/188943174622566?fref=ts


13. QUAL SUA VISÃO DA CENA UNDERGROUND NO RIO GRANDE DO SUL?


É uma cena forte, com bandas de raiz, fiéis aos seus ideais e que não para de revelar coisas boas. Vale a pena conferir.


14. VOCÊS ESTÃO PREPARANDO NOVO ÁLBUM? QUE PODE NOS ADIANTAR SOBRE PRODUÇÃO, GRAVAÇÃO E LANÇAMENTO?

Ele será novamente produzido pelo Disarmoneous, por ora sem lançamento previsto. Já temos as linhas de bateria gravadas e agora estamos trabalhando nas de guitarra e algumas letras.


15. QUAIS SEUS PLANOS PARA O FUTURO DO IMPETUS MALIGNUM?


Seguir divulgando nosso trabalho com o apoio do pessoal que nos acompanha, fazer mais alguns vídeos de canções do Storms of Fire, e se manter produzindo e evoluindo.


16. OBRIGADO PELA ATENÇÃO E APOIO. SE QUISERES DEIXAR MAIS ALGUM RECADO OU COMENTÁRIOS?


Gostaríamos de agradecer pelo espaço concedido e convidar quem ainda não conhece o nosso trabalho a visitar a página da Impetus Malignum no link https://www.facebook.com/pages/Impetus-Malignum/345117782182470?fref=ts e ajudar a divulgar, apoiar e espalhar o Metal Extremo. Força e Honra!


Sathanya Writer and Drummer

TALES OF THE MORBID BUTCHERS

01. When did and why this change in relation to this "type of alternative vehicle" communication?

Greetings from Hungary. I am Dr A, the editor of Fekete Terror and Tales Of The Morbid Butchers fanzines. In August 1997, when I first had the actual issue of Hungarian Metal Hammer in my hands, I was immediately amazed. Back at that time it was not mainstream at all, like nowadays, but I still buy the magazine. It was full of unknown bands, who immediately caught my attention. For a long time this magazine was the guideline, but the breakthrough came in the winter of 2002, when I got to know the 7th issue of Stygian Shadows fanzine (RIP) and I realized that there was even a more wonderful world beyond Metal Hammer. That was the real beginning of my admiration and respect for the underground. At that time I was still in school and could not buy issues regularly, but if I had a little money, than I sacrificed for that, of course next to the weekend booze. J Years passed by, more and more I dug into the underground, meanwhile I started working, so I could afford to buy much more issues from national distributors, among others foreign fanzines, too. I always looked up to people who created such magazines. In 2009 matters were at such a point that I started working on the first issue of my fanzine, Fekete Terror. The predecessor of this issue would have been an edited and print-out version of the interviews at Magyar Metal Legendák webzine ( http://nativeprideprod.gportal.hu/ ). But I made a step forward and started making my own interviews. Though there were such interviews in the so far released two issues of Fekete Terror, as a homage to the Hungarian Ancestors.

02. How long do you listen to Metal and attend the shows in your city?

The last drop was the aforementioned issue of Metal Hammer in August 1997. I was than 12 years old. I was already listening to some metal bands, but the disco era was still lasting. Dj Bobo, Ace Of Base, Dr. Alban etc, but slowly I let them behind. Replika (HUN), Sepultura, Pantera, Slayer, Fear Factory, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Akela (HUN), Moby Dick (HUN) were the first bands that I heard and captured my attention. Though I knew the classics, such as Iron Maiden, Guns & Roses, Judas Priest and so on, but at that time they did not influence me. As I get older, I go back to the roots. Black Sabbath, Running Wild, WASP, for example.

I go to gigs for 14 years now and I still love to do so. I love to go crazy and mosh in the crowd. Nowadays in my hometown, Sásd, there is no more gigs. In the 90’s there was more lively, but now is absolute zero. That means I have to travel. I go anywhere in the country for the sake of a good gig.

03. What is feeling for the choice of name : TALES OF THE MORBID BUTCHERS FANZINE?

I wanted a simple, memorable name. There is nothing actual meaning behind it, it is only my morbid taste. The only point was to be expansive and metal. It contains publications of two metalheads.

04. From the early 80s to the present day, of course, you've followed many changes in the underground scene in the world, tells a little of the changes you noticed?

The most obvious and outrageous to me that a lot of people have turned away from the print-out issues. I know that it was said a million times before and I do not want to be clever here, but I always throw up on such statements like ‘Why should I buy it when I can download it?’. In my opinion a music-loving person does not say such thing. I'm not going to argue with anyone and to impose my views, but I do not like this attitude.

Internet has changed everything. It is useful and useless at the same time. No use talking about it, everyone knows what I mean. I use it, make the best of it. Mainly I use it for promotion and for keeping contacts. Of course I also downloaded music and movies, but if I have the chance, I always buy the original versions. I specifically do not like reading on the internet. My eyes cannot take it and it is not exciting at all, if I cannot hold it in my hands.

As for webzines. Fresh, up to date, accessible, relatively freely available. In this fast-paced world it is essential. I also read such pages, BUT the official press of the underground is the FANZINE. Ok, I understand, if somebody has no money for that and could only make a webzine. I use Facebook for such purpose.

What disgust me the most is the digital album release. I do not give a shit that it is available for download in good quality, but the work also deserves a tangible version.

I could also mention a thousand other things, but mainly the older generation could talk about this and not me with my 30 years.

05. Tells us what is the fanzine for you?

This is exclusively non-profit activity. If I have a minimal income, I spend that on the fanzine and on trades. I have never been driven by more money or more fame. A fanzine editor is a fan, who makes the issue for fans like him or her. For this one needs determination, fanaticism and of course the fucking money. I am also not rich and I give up certain things for the fanzine and for my whole musical fanaticism. I do not have a wife or kids, so for the cause I can only make sacrifices for myself. My goal is to selflessly support the bands and make them more acknowledged.

06. what was the fanzine that most influenced you?

Clearly the Hungarian Stygian Shadows. Then also the Hungarian Oral Climax. Unfortunately, both of these fanzines are inactive now. But I could mention all the fanzines I have. I gained and still gaining strength from all of them.

07. WHICH ARE THE SOURCES OF INSPIRATION TO WRITE YOUR FANZINE?

Anything could be an inspiration to me, just like to a musician. Making an interview influenced by the certain music or atmosphere of the band. Making a fanzine is influenced by other fanzines and the goal is to support the underground scene, but is simply a form of self-expression, as well.

08. DO YOU HAVE ANY SIDE PROJECTS?

My first issue was the Fekete Terror Fanzine. So far two issues were released, but I am already working on the next one. My other project is the Tales Of The Morbid Butchers. The third issue of this is also under construction. I used to have a fanzine called Vorarefília, too, which I was making with one of my good buddies, but after the first issue he could not continue further, because of other reasons. It had only one issue with four interviews and four reviews. As the fanzines are in Hungarian, but I have the interviews also in English, last year I was thinking of releasing them in some kind of another form. That is how the Tales Of The Morbid Butchers and Fekete Terror newsletters came alive. In the first one are interviews with the foreign bands and in the second one are the interviews with the Hungarian bands.

09. WHAT ARE SOME INTERESTS THAT YOU HAVE OUTSIDE OF MUSIC?

The horror movies. It can be old, new, anything, just catch my attention. Mostly I love gore, but there are some psycho kind of movies, which I like, but primary I swear on gore. I also like old action movies. As music fills 90% of my life in, there is not much time for anything else. I would like to read much more then I read now, but usually there is no chance for that because of the lack of time. From spring till autumn there are also works in the garden. I am not saying that I always feel like doing them, but if I do then I like doing them. Viticulture, kitchen garden vegetables, fruit cultivation. It can switch your mind off, which is needed in today's fast-paced modern world. Not so long ago I started working out at home and I try doing it seriously. I have the time for it, because it is perfect while listening to music. Just imagine how good is making aggressive push-ups for Pantera. J I plan to start jogging at spring time. I have also a small rock garden. I like spending time doing such kind of thing, but it looks quite ugly at the moment. Something is wrong with the soil. What is still interests me is drinking booze. J I love drinking and get drunk with my friends at the gigs. In summary: METAL, ALCOHOL, SEX, HORROR, NATURE.

10. AS YOU SEE THE HUNGARIAN UNDERGROUND SCENE ?

There are lots of band in my country and some of them are already well-known abroad, which feels good. I cannot say that the Hungarian scene is too big, though there are many good bands. In my humble opinion, we are weak in the determined fans. I do not want to hurt here anyone’s feelings, because it is everyone’s personal business to support a

band or not. Unfortunately, there is a tendency that most of them are good with the downloading and listening to music on the internet. I do not deny that I also do so, but luckily I gave up downloading, because I am always given tangible materials. Internet has its useful side, as it has its wrong side, but I do not want to get into this right now. Back to the scene. Some says that there is no such thing, some says there is. I can only see the sad fact that if an unknown band comes to Hungary, no one is interested in it. There are not more then 20-30 person at the gig and that is it. I experienced this many times. That makes me sad. I am willing to travel 100-200 km for a small underground gig, meanwhile fans, who live in the certain city, do not give a fuck to show up. I do not care, if I do not know a band, it is possible to fall for it on the gig. The other thing is that I have the chance to meet my friends. I have this attitude, but it is not so common. People got really comfortable, ‘thankfully’ for modern development. I do not say that the situation is hopeless, but it was better than this. I have connection with most of the bands and underground fans. I support with full power all Hungarian bands, distributors, activists.

So, let’s see the Hungarian bands, though some of them are already inactive: ABCISUM, AETHERIUS OBSCURITAS, AGE OF AGONY, AHRIMAN, ANGERSEED, AORNOS, ARCHAIC, ART OF MASSACRE, ATROX TRAUMA, BESTIAL WARSEX, BLACK ARTS, BLIZZARD, BORNHOLM, CARCHARIAS, CATALEPSY, CHRISTIAN EPIDEMIC, COFFINBORN, CONCRETE, CRYPTIC REMAINS, CSEJTEY, DE PROFUNDIS, DEPTHS OF DEPRAVITY, DIECOLD, DIM VISION, DOMHRING, DROW, DRÜNKEN BASTARDS, DUNKELHEIT, DUSK, EARTH PLAGUE, ETERNAL HOLOCAUST, EVIL CONQUEROR, FAAGIA, FAGYHAMU, FANATIC ATTACK, FEKETE FAGY, FOREST SILENCE, FORMORKET, FROST, FROZEN BLOOD, GHOUL TEMPLE, GHOULVORE, GORE THROWER, GOATDOMINATOR, GRAVECRUSHER, GRIMNESS, GUTTED, GYLLIATH, GYÖTRELEM, HARAG, HEIMWEH, HELDENTOD, HELL ETERNAL, HEXENWOOD, HUMAN ERROR, HUMUGUR, HUNOK, IGNOMINIOUS, IONOSPHERE, INFECTUS, JÉGZIVATAR, KALTEMOND, KARST, KEEPER OF DREAMS, KESERV, KILL WITH HATE, KOLP, KOPJAFA, KOROG, KRAMPÜS, KRIPTA, KUTH , LEIRU, LEPRA, LIMB FOR A LIMB, MABTHERA, MALEDICTION, MARBLEBOG, MG-42, MÖRBID CARNAGE, MORFIUM, MYSTAGOG, NADIR, NECROSODOMY, NEFARIOUS, NIEDERGANG, ÖRÖM, OUR EXISTENCE IS PUNISHMENT, PAEDIATRICIAN, PARAGON ZERO, PARASITE CROWD, PRINCEPS DAEMONUM, PURULENT RITES, QASSAM, QUALM, SEAR BLISS, SELONATH, SINFUL ETERNITY, SOLUS, SOULTHORN, SPÜOLUS, SVOID, SYMPHONY OF SYMBOLS, TERRORFRONT, TEURGIA, THY CATAFALQUE, THY FUNERAL, TREMOR, TYRANT GOATGALDRAKONA, URNARIUM, VEÉR, VELM, VERILUN, VÉRZIVATAR, VILE DISGUST, VORKUTA, VRAG, WARKULT, WINTERHEART, WITCHCRAFT, WITCHER, TYMAH.

Hungarian record companies, distributors:

NEVERHEARD DISTRO, METAL ÖR DIE RECORDS, STYGIAN SHADOWS PRODUCTIONS, TURANIAN HONOUR PRODUCTIONS, TERRANIS PRODUCTIONS, HUNGARYAN RECORDS, SOUTHLAND RECORDS, FUNERAL CHANTS PRODUCTIONS, ROTTEN CROWZ PRODUCTIONS, POSTHUMAN PRODUCTIONS, SIGILLVM TENEBRAE RECORDS, OLD SKULL PRODUCTIONS, DEATH TRAP DISTRO.

Active Hungarian fanzines:

OLD SKULL, METAL CATACOMBS, TALES OF THE MORBID BUTCHERS, FEKETE TERROR, ROTTEN CROWZ, BLAST, POSTHUMAN, SUBTERRANEAN TENEBRIS, DEADLY ILLNESS.

There is no lack in gig organizers, there are many gigs, which means that there is a smaller or bigger gig on every week of the year. Sometimes it is too many for me. For me there are four significant and outstanding festivals, which are organized every year: Total War Fest, Inner Awakening Fest, Extreme Noise Fest and SzegeDEATH Fest.

11. WHERE WILL YOU SPEND ETERNITY?

Call it what you want, just be good!

12. ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS OF TALES OF THE MORBID BUTCHERS FANZINE?

Yes, I am satisfied. Of course, there is always something that I would do differently afterwards, but that is natural. It fills me with pride that I can show up the things I have done.

13. HOW ARE YOUR NEWS WORDS?

In 2015 one of the big surprises for me is the debut album of Aornos, entitled Orior. I recommend it to everyone who likes the kind of complex black metal Emperor play. The debut album of Purulent Rites will hit hard, too. They are the Hungarian representatives of Autopsy, Necrophagia. One of my other big favorites is Veér, whose second album will be released also this year. This will be a big event, but the debut album of Solus will be released also this year. The best death metal band of Hungary, Age Of Agony, is also up for something. The 20-year active black metal band Dusk had a beautiful boxset release this spring in 66 hand-numbered copies. 9 tapes are hidden in a nice, black box. This is the bands’ entire discography. Suddenly, that is all I can think of. Last year was also very tough. Several Hungarian bands had new releases. These include, but are not limited to, some favorites: , Heldentod – Virradat, Limb For A Limb – Aberration Complete, Tymah – The Past Is Alive, Krampüs – Graveyard Blowjob, Earth Plague – Cult Of Damnation, Evil Conqueror – Nuclear Blasphemy, Kolp – The Valley Of Plague, Gravecrusher – Morbid Black Oath, de profundis – This Winter in My Heart, Moonkult/Solus – Transmissions, Witchcraft – Die Hard Boxset, Witchcraft/Szron – Split, Velm/Snakemass – Split, Qassam – Shyathan Akhbar, Fanatic Attack – Waiting The Rot, Drow – Low-Down, Vrag – Bánaterdő, Witcher – Boszorkánytánc, Winterheart – Facing What I’m Becoming, Svoid – To Never Return, Karst – Lime Veins Bleed Rust.

14. WHAT MERCHANDISE DO YOU STILL HAVE AVAILABLE?

For the second issue of TOTMB were made 30 t-shirts, but they are all sold out. One went to Nuno, to the Portuguese Caverna Abismal Records, one to the Peruvian Legion Of Torture Fanzine, the rest got home in Hungary. For the next issue there will be also released some t-shirts.

15. TELL US NOW ABOUT YOUR FAVE BANDS AND ALBUMS?

My taste in music got really eclectic. I did not start with the basics, I got right in the middle, then I got forward and only later moved backwards. So I am not going to start my speech with how I got into Iron Maiden, etc. By 1997 the main styles of metal already evolved, so I did not have the same path as the older generations. Here come some bands which determined my life and some current favorites:

NECROPHAGIA: I love all of their albums. Killjoy’s sickening fanaticism is amazing. In this music I find everything what is METAL to me. I got to know them later, but they became very determined in my further life.

CANNIBAL CORPSE: the ones with Chris Barnes, but even amongst these is ’Tomb Of The Mutilated’. That is the perfect Death Metal album. Simply indescribable what is going on on this album. Last autumn I dig up the garden while listening to this album. It was screaming from my old tape recorder and I was digging aggressively the garden. J

DEICIDE: ‘Once Upon The Cross’. I was totally impressed by its cover back then when I was a teenager. The music is also total death metal essence.

DIMMU BORGIR: ‘Stormblast’. This was my first Black Metal tape and I still think that was black metal, but I do not follow them anymore. For me they are dead.

MARDUK: ‘Dark Endless’. This is also a decisive album in my life. What comes to life in here that is the aggressive essence of hell itself. I follow this band up till now. I also love the newer albums, although to be honest there are weaker ones, too, but I have respect for Morgan. Their best one is of course ‘Panzer Division Marduk’. This is war itself!

BLACK SABBATH: ‘Paranoid’. I got to know this classic quite late, when I was more open-minded. This needs no comment. BASIC ALBUM.

SLAYER: ‘Show No Mercy’, ‘Reign In Blood’. No comment.

PANTERA: from ‘Cowboys From Hell’ all the albums. Mixed with alcohol is total chaos.

SEPULTURA: although the first album I have heard was ‘Chaos AD’, and I got hypnotized by it straight away, but later I got to know the ‘Morbid Visions’ album and that was a total mindfuck to me. Both of their eras have its own beauty what I like. I also like ‘Roots’, but what it started, that is sickening me with a few exceptions. The first two KORN. Up till now I still like both of those albums.

KREATOR: if I not mistaken, the first album I heard of them was ‘Coma Of Souls’. I remember the first listening at one of my buddies. We copied the tape and I was writing the song titles with a pen. It is wonderful to look back. Then I got forwards and backwards in between their albums. But the etalon is ‘Extreme Aggression’.

DESTRUCTION: I got to know them with the ’Release From Agony’ album. Same way as I did with Kreator.

FEAR FACTORY: ‘Demanufacture’. In my hometown, Sásd, the local metalheads liked it, so it got to me easily. I like this album up till now, but I do not follow them, they got prostituted like many other same kind of bands.

These bands, albums were really determining points in my life, but of course I could write pages with bands and the stories related to them. Just shortly a few bands, which I really like:

EMPEROR, ULVER, DARKTHRONE, BATHORY, IMPALED NAZARENE, DEATH, DEATHRONATION, ABSU, DODHEIMSGARD, VINTERSORG, DEIPHAGO, DESASTER, DEVASTATOR, EMPHERIS, GOATPENIS, GRAFVOLLUTH, WARGOATCULT, BLASPHEMY, BEHERIT, HELL TORMENT, MANTICORE, MORBOSIDAD, NASUM, NOCTURNAL, OBEISANCE, ICONOCLAST CONTRA, PESTIS, RAVENDARK'S MONARCHAL CANTICLE, ACID WITCH, SKULDOM, SADIZTIK IMPALER, WARFIST, CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY, THRONEUM, KHAOS AEON, BLOODY VENGEANCE, NUCLEAR MAGICK, DON JUAN MATUS, WARFIST, GOAT MESSIAH, etc. The list is endless.

16. AS IT IS EDITED TALES MORBID BUTCHERS FANZINE?

If you mean here what kind of technology I use to edit my fanzines, only I can tell you that a basic word program. I edit it, save it to a PDF file and the whole thing is sent to the press. To be honest, I have a degree in computing, but back then I was not interested in the whole thing at all. Since then I curse myself because for not paying more attention. Previously somebody else were doing the editing, but the second issue was put together by me and I really enjoyed it. My colleague, Maniac, does not have a say in this matter, he just delivers me the raw materials. I do have a contributor, Ádám, who is responsible for the covers and the graphics. (http://anvilkvlt.blogspot.hu/). Take a look at his site, he is really talented.

17. HOW HAS THE UNDERGROUND PUBLIC RESPONSE BEEN?

The underground scene is always happy for a release of a new fanzine. Of course there are those who can do nothing, but criticize. We do not need to give a shit about them. I take criticism only from those who put something down in the underground world. I like honest criticism, being told if something is good or shit. I also listen to advises, but it is not sure if I take any of them.

18. What bands you watched live and more pleased you?

First let’s make it clear, that usually I am always satisfied. I do not go to a gig to get back 100% what is on an album. Usually I mosh in the first raw going totally crazy.

If I remember correctly, I have been going to gigs since 2001 and I saw many local and foreign bands. Generally speaking I can say that I go to underground gigs. I prefer the dirty, little clubs to professional main stages. I saw the following ‘big’ bands: Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Mayhem, Crowbar, Benediction, Dismember, Pro-Pain, Watain, Rotting Christ, Sinister, Vader, Biohazard, Kreator, Marduk, Immolation. These are the ones I can remember suddenly. Then the ‘smaller’ bands, which are sometimes ‘bigger’: Morbosidad, Fueled By Fire, Suicidal Angel, Dr. Living Dead, Imperious Malevolence, Ophiolatry, Vexed, Nervo Chaos, Demogorgon(POL), Itself, Black Sister, Disgorge(MEX), Karma To Burn, Demonical, Old. All of a sudden that is all. As for the Hungarian side, I was on almost all active bands’ gigs, at least one. My all time gig favourites: Age Of Agony, a Witchcraft, a Purulent Rites, Mörbid Carnage, Gravecrusher, Niedergang, Malediction, Beneth (RIP), Gate Of Darkness (RIP), Blizzard. Previously, Drünken Bastards were the big time favorite, but there were so many changes in the band that I lost interest in them. I could also mention the grind assault by Human Error. They humiliate everybody in 30 minutes. They really fuck you up live, but a few questions earlier I have already mentioned the Hungarian bands, which usually make awesome gigs.

Primarily I go to Hungarian gigs, because I like keeping contacts with the local scene.

19. WHAT ARE YOU FUTURE PLANS?

We are currently working on the third issue of Tales of The Morbid Butchers and hopefully, after a bit of a delay, it will be released at this autumn. I already started working on the third issue of Fekete Terror, but it will be only released next year. I also have a secret project, but it is too early talk about it.

20. THANK YOU VERY MUCH ATTILA DUDÁS. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT. ANY LAST COMMENTS?

MORTNOIR

O1. TELL US THE HISTORY OF MORTNOIR AND WHO FORMED IT?

 History Mortnoir started at school, 7-8 years ago. The three of us with vocalist and guitarist decided to organize a group expressing our hatred for all living things. And so it came Mortnoir. Normal play concerts and record songs began only in 2012.

 02. WHAT IS THE FEELING FOR THE CHOICE OF NAME ¨MORTNOIR¨ ? 

¨MORTNOIR¨- French translates as "Black Death" - the name of the plague. It decimated everyone indiscriminately; no one could escape from it. The true power of hatred. A name and it was necessary to us. 

03. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND TO SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER HEARD YOU BEFORE?

 Our sound - the shit that you've ever heard! We recorded all the teamwork alive without mastering and processing. Recorded in the basement of the old and abandoned homes in the most terrible instruments that we come across. So if you want to spare your ears, do not include Mortnoir. Haha! 

04. WHAT IS YOUR INSPIRATIONS FOR YOUR LYRICS?

 As I said before, hatred for all living things, not the living and the dead. Also, our personal experiences and emotions, perversion and ugliness of human nature, certain life situations, ancient legends, the great G.F.Lavkraft and much more.

We do not stop at one thing to write lyrics. We have a variety of topics. 

05. WHAT´S THE BLACK METAL FOR YOU?

 Black metal for me is a charming atmosphere and insatiable, unlimited power. It's not just the music is great cultural phenomenon that has changed my life and the lives of many of my friends.

 06. AS YOU SEE THE BLACK METAL SCENE IN RUSSIA?

 Black metal scene in Russia there. And that's good.

But it is very unfortunate that in remote from the capital, and in general the European part of Russia metal dies. In the city of Krasnoyarsk, where we are now not even a place where it can perform really heavy metal gruppa.Organizatoram and students need a modern, licked, girlish "music" and it's sad. 

07. HOW MANY ALBUMS/CD´S HAVE YOU RELEASED? 

We have accumulated a huge pile of unsold material, and soon we will release it. But as long as we have in the cage only one demo very crappy quality, released on cassette on the label Zombie Records! "Raw hatred" in 2013. 

08. WHAT MERCHANDISE DO YOU STILL HAVE AVAILABLE? 

Of merchandise now nothing is available. Cassettes went very limited edition in an underground label and almost did not apply. But soon the situation will change.

09. WHAT ARE SOME INTERESTS THAT YOU HAVE OUTSIDE OF MUSIC?

 I work, I read a lot of books on the history, mythology, fiction. Publish printed fanzine "Only Death Zine" with our new drummer. He also holds the record label Zombie Records.

Vocalist paints pictures with his own blood and drinks like the devil. He also at one time taught school children art. 

10. TELL US NOW YOUR FAVE BANDS AND ALBUMS?

 They are very, very much. And we are inspired not only black metal, and thrash metal, death metal, speed metal and other genres.

But I'm not mistaken if I say that all of us affected darkthrone, Mayhem, Emperor and Burzum. From the album of the early 90's and late 80's. 

11. HOW ARE THE NEWS SONGS? 

New songs will be much angrier, more hysterical and emotional past.

The album, which will be released soon or leave anyone ravnodushnym.Mnogie say that this shit, but I hope that many of us enjoy! 

12. DID YOU HAVE PLAYED MANY GIGS?

 1.5 - 2 years of concert activity we played about 13-15 gigs at local venues and in nearby cities. People like this. Especially when our singer began to shred themselves and heart-rending scream. People need blood and suffering - that is their true nature. 

13. WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR THE MORTNOIR?

 We plan to continue to be in total underground and earn money on our music. Live happily play what you want to play. Maybe get to play on larger areas of our country and other countries, but it is not the goal.

The goal - inner satisfaction and pleasure from our music. 

14. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT VAANG. ANY LAST COMMENTS? 

Thank you and your zine for the opportunity to express themselves. You will hear us. I hope so.

LAWRENCE`S CREATION

01. TELL US ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF LAWRENCE`S CREATION?

It started as just a electronic project that I did by myself while I had free time and a friend of mine heard it and suggested that I do the same with my guitar and turn it into a rock project similar to Vinnie moore, or Michael Angelo Batio did with their instrumental albums. I thought it was a good idea so I did it. Now I have 2 electronic albums and 1 rock album with another rock album on the way with vocals also. It was always just a project that I had on the side by myself that was just me and no one else involved which is also why I called it my creation.

02. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND TO SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER HEARD YOU BEFORE?

I would say that the electronic stuff that I started with would be a cross between techno/dance type of stuff that you might hear on a video game and orchestrated stuff that you might hear on a soundtrack for a movie. The Rock stuff that it has evolved into I would say is similar to stuff written by Vinnie Moore or Jason Becker or someone in the instrumental guitar genre and some stuff to come will be more vocal oriented.


03. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE LYRICAL CONTEST OF THE MUSICS?

The newer stuff is the only stuff with vocals and most of it has a slightly depressing nature but some of the lyrics have a never quit never say die attitude also. So a range of emotion.


04. HOW MANY ALBUMS/CD´S HAVE YOU RELEASED? 

Technically I have 3 out if you count the demo, but there are 2 full lengths. One electronic and the other is rock guitar. I think for the rest of the albums I am going to keep it strictly organic rock albums.

05. WHAT MERCHANDISE DO YOU STILL HAVE AVAILABLE?

I only have CDs available so far. I maybe have posters soon and maybe stickers but for now I think CDs are good enough considering I don’t play out much yet other than open mic once in a while.


06. ARE YOUR SATISFIED WITH THE RESULTS OF LAWRENCE`S CREATION?

So far yes, and I am hearing more and more feedback from people telling me they like what I am doing.


07. TELL US MORE ABOUT THE MUSIC: DROP ZONE. MY FAVORITE.


For drop zone, I was inspired to create an album that was like a guitar hero album ie Yngwie, Joe Satriani, MAB, Steve Vai etc. So I composed 10 songs and released it hoping that I would be able to send it out and be ranked up there with some of my favorite guitar players. It was mainly inspired by music in video games like the song “bad omen” for example that actually has a part in it that is exactly the same music during the first solo as a part in the game… which is why I called it that. Haha… So mainly listening to video game music and bands like dream theater and some shred albums from guitar players like Steve Vai etc.

08. COMMENT ABOUT THE ALBUM: DROP ZONE?


This album is the beginning of the band’s new sound that will stay (I mean real instruments, real band, no electronic stuff) and I consider it to be the first and only album since I am trying to break away from what I was doing before. I did put a lot of time into recording it and had fun coming up with ideas. So far everyone I have shown this album to seemed to like it very much.

09. WHAT ARE SOME INTERESTS THAT YOU HAVE OUTSIDE OF MUSIC?

Music is my main hobby and I love it the most but other hobbies and interests are stuff like bowling, ping pong, going to the beach, casino (once in a while), hanging out with friends and stuff… I also like stargazing and going on boat rides a lot also. That is very fun.


10. ARE YOU WORKING ON ANY NEW MATERIAL? CAN WE EXPECT A NEW RELEASE FROM YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE?

Yes a new album should be available soon. It still has the flashy shred guitar stuff in it but it isn’t as technical as drop zone. It is slower for the most part and it will have vocals on it.

01. TELL US ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF SANCTRUM?

In 2008 we released our critically acclaimed debut album "In Harm's Way" (Metalcast Records) in Europe, U.S.A. and Canada, produced by Grammy award winning recording engineer Carl Vikman. The opening track “Dead Inside” got airtime on radio as well as on TV. In the early spring the band went on a tour through Scandinavia with UK’s metalcore maniacs Centurion; and in the fall a similar tour with their Diamond worshipping friends in Icons of Horror. In 2009, due to irreconcilable differences, the band parted ways with its former record label, and made their debut album available for free online. In 2011 SANCTRUM was invited to participate in the "Metallsvenskan" tournament broadcasted on the network “TV4 sport” Later that year one of the original guitarist, Volkan, decided to leave the band due to various reasons. The search for a replacement was neither long nor arduous; the position was almost instantly filled by Alex Tollin. The EP "Autumn" was recorded in may 2012 with producer Teddy Möller at BlueFlame studios and was released digital on all big platforms. The title track also appeared on the compilation “Sicksound - A New Era” (Sickhouse Sound Production HB). 

Come 2013, the writing process for their second full-length album slowly began while still supporting the Autumn EP, including winning the 25th Villa de Bilbao music contest in Spain of 2013. 

In 2014 Sanctrum once again entered the studio to record their sophomore album, entitled “ROT”, in Studio Maskinrummet during September-October 2014 with producer Lawrence Mackrory (F.K.Ü. Darkane). Shortly after the recording session, Sanctrum signed a worldwide record deal with WormHoleDeath records for the distribution of “ROT”. 

 

02. WHAT IS THE FEELING FOR THE CHOICE OF NAME SANCTRUM?

 The name comes from the word “sanctum” but when it was presented to the rest of the band it was misspelled and it became Sanctrum.

 

03. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR SOUND TO SOMEONE WHO HAS NEVER HEARD YOU BEFORE?

Fast, aggressive metal spiced with some hardcore and topped off with catchy choruses.  

 

 

04. HOW HAS THE FANS RESPONSE BEEN?

Our fans really seem to like our live shows as we are a band that is supposed to be experienced live.

 

05. HOW IS THE ACTUAL LINE UP?

Sanctrums line up is: Irfan Cancar on vocals, Oskar Odelbo on drums, Alex Tollin on guitar, Viktor Arfwedson on guitar and Emil Anter on bass.

 

06. DID YOU HAVE PLAYED MANY GIGS?

We have played a lot of shows, we don’t know how many exactly but a least 120 shows during the years. 

 

07. WHAT  MERCHANDISE DO YOU STILL HAVE AVAILABLE?

We have a couple of different t-shirts and we have our old album but we are working on some new merch and we will have it done until we start the Rot- touring cycle.

 

08. WHAT ARE YOUR INSPIRATIONS FOR THE YOUR MUSICS?

It’s very hard to point out something specific, it’s very different for all the members.  

 

09. TELL US NOW YOUR FAVE BANDS AND ALBUMS?

We listen to a very wide range of music between us. You would be surprised what would be played if you partied with us. Nothing is off limits.

 

10. TELL US MORE ABOUT CD: ROT?

Our new album Rot consist of 10 new songs with high paced and heavy death/thrash riffs, catchy choruses and hardcore in-your-face-attitude. It is our most ambitious record to date. We have everything from the straight in your face fast songs to the more complex and heavier songs on the record. We recorded the album with Lawrence Mackrory (Darkane, F.K.ü) in our hometown of Uppsala and it will be released soon via WormHoleDeath Records worldwide.

 

11. WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD FOR THE OUTSIDE TRUTH?

 We have a lot of things going on right now, which is really exciting! We are planning to shoot a new music video, we are booking shows and we are working on new merch. And of course we are releasing our new album Rot which we can’t wait for you guys to hear!
