Interview with Kadub Kult done on 11-26-21

 


1.Hello Oleh and Irene please introduce yourselves to the readers?

Hails! We are Oleh & Irene Horobey from Kadub Kult - pagan black project from Chortkiv, Ukraine.

2.When did you first discover metal music and who were some of the first artists and bands that you listened to?

O: I discovered metal music early in my childhood. My uncle and his friends were metalheads. He was that type of a "badass" uncle, haha. So, it was inevitable to become a metalhead myself. He had a great impact on me and my music tastes. He was always trading tapes with his friends. That's why I always had something new to listen to. Probably, my favorite bands from childhood were Lake of Tears and Metallica. "Headstones" and "..And Justice" are true masterpieces among metal albums.


3.Was it long before you discovered the underground black and death metal scene?Who were the first underground bands you listened to?Who are some of the current bands that have caught your attention?

O: I started looking at the underground bands sometime during my college years. It was the winter of 2007, I presume, when I met Alex and Yura and became friends with those dudes. Guys were into some really dark and underground shit. They opened up another metal dimension for me. One of the first and all-time favorite underground bands that I discovered is Satanic Warmaster. Most of the projects that Werwolf started or was involved in are simply amazing. As for the death metal side, I would name Necrophagia. Nowadays, I'm really into Black Cilice. Mrtva Vod and Feuille Morte are the newest acts that caught my attention. The EP and the full-length album, that were released by these bands this year, are terrifically good.


4.The two of you started Kadub Kult in 2020 what gave you two the idea to form this band? How did you choose Kadub Kult as the name of the band and does it have a special meaning?

We wanted to start some project after we moved to US. Mainly with the purpose to promote and support Ukrainian language and culture. Well, at the beginning of the pandemic we got plenty of time to start it. In our lyrics, we created a new fantasy world - Carpathia. There is an abandoned ancient city in that world with some mad cultists still dwelling there. We named it Kadub. It is also the name of the place where Oleh lived in Ukraine. the word itself means barrel or hollow stem of a tree.


5.I believe the band is just the two of you would you like to add more members to make a full line-up or do you prefer working as two piece?

We have a drummer, Steven Smithberger, that will be involved in future releases. Oleh wanted to do drums for The Farthest star by himself because we wanted to make those sound as primitive as possible. But that’s it. No more members as no live performances are planned.





6.Oleh you handle writing the music for the band how long did it take you to write the music for the new release The Farthest Star?How long does it usually take to complete one song?

O: It was very fast. Took me like 3 months to write the whole thing. As for one song - it may take 1 day or 1 week to write and record it. Depends on the inspiration.


7.What are the current instruments that you play?When first starting out did you take lessons or are you self-taught?If you had the chance are their any instruments that you would like to learn to play one day?

O: My main instrument is guitar. I started playing about 15 years ago. I'm self-taught. I'm also into keys and drums. Those are two instruments that I'm really interested to develop my skills in. Especially drums.


8.Who would you say are your biggest musicial influences?

O: Oh, there are so many. But among the biggest, I would name Satanic Warmaster, Nokturnal Mortum, Taake, Arckanum and Darkthrone.


9. Irene you take care of the vocals for the band when did you first start screaming and growling?Do you do anything special to keep your throat and voice healthy? 10.Who would you say are your favorite vocalists and influences?Do you play any other instruments?

..I: I was studying vocals in musical school. But Kadub Kult is the first project where I started to practice actual screaming. We share vocals with Oleh on The Farthest Star. Though, I did vocals for the entire songs on our EP Nav. I do not do anything special to keep my voice healthy. Well, maybe a can of beer before recording?


10.Who would you say are your favorite vocalists and influences?Do you play any other instruments?

 I would say that I was very impressed by Nocturno Culto vocals. Especially in Quintessence. He did an insane job on that track. As for instruments, I can play piano and accordion. Planning to learn bass.


11.Irene since you take care of the vocals for the band i assume you write the lyrics for the music?What are some topics written about on The Farthest Star?

I: Nope. All lyrics are written by Oleh.

O: As I mentioned earlier, we wanted to create our own world in Kadub Kult songs. It gives you some kind of freedom to maneuver, emancipation. Carpathia is based on Ukrainian folklore, myths, and legends, and Slavic paganism. Well, the darkest parts of those. I find it interesting to show the concept of good and evil and the darkness of the human soul based on old beliefs.


12.What does Black Metal mean to the two of you?

It's not just about music. It's the way of life. And of course, it is not for everyone. Not for everyone to understand it, to embrace it. It is an ability to find and enjoy the darkest and ugliest parts of our nature. "For a black heart will only find beauty in darkness..."


13.Besides working in Kadub Kult do you currently work with any other bands or solo projects?If yes please tell the readers a little about them?

O: There is a bunch of projects I'm working on right now. My solo DSBM project Taithur and blackened thrash project Molfar. There is also another black metal act Kuupyr that I'm currently working on. I am also planning to release some dungeon synth EP sometime next year. So, LITERALLY, a lot of music, haha.


14.Thank you Oleh and Irene for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final comments for the readers?

Thank you for reaching out and showing interest in our project! For everyone who supports us - hails and eternal gratitude!                                                                                                                                     Band  Contacts                                                                                                                                              https://www.facebook.com/kadubkult                                                                                                         https://kadubkult.bandcamp.com/                                                                                                                 https://www.instagram.com/kadubkult/                                                                                                        Label  Contacts                                                                                                                                        https://bornforburning.bigcartel.com/                                                                                                            https://www.facebook.com/bloodfiredeath1975

Interview with Isaac owner of Born For Burning Prod. done on 9-12-21

 


1.Hello Isaac please introduce yourself to the readers?

My name is Isaac owner of Born For Burning Productions. The label was started in Burlington VT and has since moved to Philadelphia PA. The label has no real style. Mainly stick to the extreme metal end of the spectrum. But am always on the lookout for a traditional heavy metal band to work with. I have a soft spot for that stuff.


2.When did you first discover rock and metal music and who were the first artists and bands you discovered?Who are some of the current bands that have caught your attention?

My interest in rock/heavy metal goes back always. I was born in 1975 and I’m lucky to have a sister that was into Kiss. When I was younger I would go into her room and take her Kiss 45s and play them on my Fisher Price Record Player. Yes I’m dating myself. That was it until 86 when my mom through Columbia House got Master Of Puppets on cassette because she forgot to mail the card back. I was intrigued by the cover art. She would try and hide it on me but I would always find it. So she finally gave in and let me have the cassette. I had no clue what I was listening to but I loved that cassette and played the shit out of it. Then Gun’s N Roses happened and Jr. High at the same time. My cousins Dave was also a big influence. We are about the same age and when one of us would find a new band we should share. A lot of it was thrash and traditional heavy metal. VT is a small market for metal. When my cousin and I discovered Metal disc then more death and black metal came into out lives. Now the internet delivers the good. Some of the current bands. Hmm I’ve been really into Lightcrusher are a great band. They are a death/ black/doom hybrid. Till, Goatpiss, Angel Massacre, Ancient Torment, and Murrum. I tried not to list bands I’m releasing stuff by but the new Lightcrusher is fucking awesome and the Till i’m repressing is so fucking good.


3.When did you first get the idea to start a label?How did you choose Born For Burning Prod. as the name for the label?

 I had the idea a little over two years ago. VT has small but decent metal scene and I was sick of not seeing it get its due. I got the name from a Bathory song title and I felt it defines the label. So I decided to start my own label. Cd are the most economically friendly format so that’s what I started with. I’m now doing things on cassette. Someday vinyl but it’s so expensive and it takes so long to get pressed that I haven’t gone that route yet.


4.Are you satisfied with how things have progressed with the label so far?What do you feel is the easiest and hardest part about running a label?

 I’m extremely satisfied on how things are going. It’s growing slowly and that’s how I wanted it. I didn’t and haven’t had the feeling of being overwhelmed by the label and that’s a good thing. This year so far has been amazing and the stuff I have released has been really well received. I’m excited for the rest of the year and what the future holds


5.Do you run the label by yourself or do you have some friends that help you out?How many hours a day would you say you work on label business?

I run the whole show by myself. It depends on the day on how long I spend working on it. I work Fri, Sat, Sun 12 hour shifts so I get nothing done on those days. But for the most part I could spend a good chunk of the day promoting or It could just be an hour or two. I feel with this new job and my schedule that I can devote more time.


6.What styles of metal do you prefer to release on the label? Is the label roster full at this time or are you taking submissions for future releases?If any bands are reading this how can they get in contact with you?

I can be picky on what I release. But mainly it’s been Black, War, Blackened Thrash and Speed Metal. But like I said I’m on the lookout for a traditional heavy metal band. I’m really picky on my doom when I listen to it but have no desire to release any. I’m also on the lookout for more Death Metal. I really only have 1 Death Metal release and that’s the Invultation cd. I’m more into the traditional sounding Death Metal. I mean if your band sounds like Angel Corpse Or Achiron I will most likely work with you. Bands can contact me through my email bornforburning1975@gmail.com




7.What are some of your current releases that the readers can purchase?Are their any upcoming releases that the readers should watch out for?

 Current stuff I have a lot. Woundcult, Askalaphos, Sárnes, Invultation, Kadub Kult, Adultère, Blasphemous Degradation, Ejaculatör, Order Of Doom, Wyrre, Korihor, Hell Priest, Shitangel, and Hellcunt. All on cd by the way. Just to name some fo the current stuff I have out. Stuff coming out. At the manufacturer right now I have Battlethrone Cd Ep, Lightcrusher-Forever But Never Named-Cd, Terrorist-Left In Desolation-Cd Repress, Void Of Melancholy-Cassette, and Neftaraka-Unholy Sovereign-Cassette



8.What styles of metal do you carry in your distro?Do you do many trades or do you prefer to buy wholesale?

I carry stuff from Iron Bonehead, Hells Headbangers, Sound Of White Noise out of TX. My distro is small. I will do trades with other labels. But would prefer wholesale.


9.If their are any labels or distro's reading this what styles of metal besides black metal do you carry in your distro?Where can the labels get in touch with you about possible trades?

I’m down for trading for Black, Death and Speed Metal. I like to keep my distro small. But I am down for trades it’s a big help to get the stuff out for all parties. Contact info is bornforburning1975@gmail.com


10.What does Underground Metal mean to you?

Keeping it to the people. I mean if I walk into a Best Buy and see a Satanic Warmaster cd then I’m done.


11.When you need to take a break from working on label business what do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Watching horror movies, and reading. I’m into old horror paperbacks and Stephen King novels.


12.Did you read alot of fanzines when you first started out in the Underground Scene?If yes what were some of your favorite fanzines to read?

12. I like fanzines and have a huge respect for them. I don’t buy them a lot. But there is a need for then. One you folks should check out is Fideicide. Awesome zine out of V


13.What do you feel made a good fanzine?Are their any current fan or web-zines that you try to keep up with?

13. For me it’s the support they give to the labels and bands. Album reviews and interviews are really important. Especially for small labels and bands. I read your webzine and Soulgrinder Zine is the tits. Oh shit how could I forget New England Extreme Metal Zine. I try to keep up with them as much as I can. They have help with me discovering bands. I do watch some vlogs(I hate that word).


14.Besides fanzines i know tape-trading was huge back in the 80's and 90's did you do any tape trading?What were some of your most prized releases that you were able to buy or trade for?

Hmm I never tape traded. Stuff I had that I bought that I wish I still owned. Beherit-The Oath Of Black Blood on JL America on cassette. Ya it’s not the Turbo press but still it was an old pressing.


15.Besides music i have noticed on your facebook page you sometimes post movies that you are watching or watched.Are you a big movie fan?

 I’m a huge movie buff since I was a kid.


16.What styles of movies do you watch the most of?What are some of your all-time favorite movies to watch?Are their any current movies that has caught your attention?

 I’m all over the board on movies. But mainly horror, action, exploitation, comedies, spaghetti westerns, and Italian crime dramas.


17.Who are your all-time favorite actresses and actors? Are their any directors that you like to watch the most?

 Some of my favorite actors and actresses are Franco Nero, Paul Naschy, Thomas Milian, Henry Silva, Edwige Fenech, Tisa Farrow, Katherine MacColl, and Giovanni Lombardo Redice. Directors I would say Dario Argentine, Ruggero Deodato, Umberto Lenzi, Fernando Di Lo, and George Romero.

Interview with Wrath Division done on 8-26-21


 

1.Hails please introduce yourself to the readers?

WD: Wrath Division is the triumphant shriek announcing the end of the times.


2.When did you first discover black and death metal music? What is it about these genres that you like so much?

WD: We listen to many different bands.


4.When did you and the other members of the band first get the idea to start Wrath Division? Are you satisfied with how things have progressed with the band so far?

WD: We are all huge fans of war metal. I myself wanted to record such stuff for many years, yet it was hard to find a drummer who would understand this kind of barbaric war metal. 44°6'23"N 19°17'49"E also always wanted to record such stuff - we started to talk about creating something together in the beginning of 2020 and we finally did it in the end of 2020.


5.Who would you say are the bands biggest influences and have they remained the same since the beginning? For the readers who have never heard Wrath Division how would you best describe the bands musicial style and sound?

WD: Definitely Blasphemy, Beherit, Conqueror, Archgoat, Revenge. How would we describe our sound? Imagine rumbling drums and barbaric sounds of bass crush the bones to dust, barbed wire guitars mercilessly pierce through the body.


6.Barbed Wire Veins is the bands debut which is being released through Godz Ov War when did you and the band first come in contact with this label?

WD: The album is being released through Godz ov War on vinyl and through Left Hand Sounds on CD. We contacted both labels in the beginning of 2021 as soon as we had material finished in 90%.


7.How long did it take the band to write the music on the debut release? Does the whole band take part in the writing process or does one member usually write everything?

WD: 2 days, we booked a studio and improvised for one day, then the second day we recorded the final guitar and bass tracks.


8.Where does the band draw inspiration for the lyrics and what are some subjects written about on the debut release?

WD: Chaos. Subjects on the debut release: wrath, war, abyss, apocalypse.


9.Besides the Barbed Wire Veins release does the band have any other releases or merchandise currently availible for the readers?If yes what is availible and where can the readers purchase it?

WD: We don't have any other releases, but there will be some merchandise like t-shirts, CDs and vinyl soon available on our bandcamp page and our labels websites.


10.When bands are able to play live shows again are their any plans to do shows in support of the debut release or do you prefer working in the studio?

WD: There is such a possibility. We are all fans of live shows, but if we decide to play live - it has to be as brutal as possible. No remorse.


11.What does Underground Metal mean to you?

WD: Freedom.


12.Wrath Division comes out of Poland's blackend death metal scene what are your thought of Poland's metal scene over the years?
