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: Each one of us started to listen to these genres in teenage years. What we like? The barbaric merciless power of this music.

3.Who were the first bands that you heard? Who are some of the current bands that you have been listening too?

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?

WD: It's strong.

13.Who are your all-time favorite bands coming out of Poland and are their any new bands you could recomend to the readers?

WD: Kriegsmaschine, Martwa Aura and Venefices.

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

WD: Only the ashes covered by smoke and the bodies of the fallen remain.                                               Band  Contacts                                                                                                                                              https://wrathdivision.bandcamp.com/releases                                                                                             https://www.facebook.com/wrathdivision                                                                                                    Label Contacts                                                                                                                                               http://godzovwar.com/                                                                                                                                   https://godzovwarproductions.bandcamp.com/                                                                                            https://www.facebook.com/godzovwar                                                                                                       https://twitter.com/GodzOvWar                                                                                                                    https://www.instagram.com/godz_ov_war_productions/                                                                            https://www.youtube.com/c/GregRosenstahl

Interview with Death Hound (all instruments for Unkept) done on 8-24-21

 

1.Hails DH! Please introduce yourself to the readers?

DH: Hails Patrick and thanks for the interview. I am Death Hound from Unkept.

2.When did you first discover black and death metal music and who were the first bands that you heard? Who are some of the current bands that you have been listening too?

DH: Earlier bands like older Slayer, Razor, Venom, Celtic Frost and Sacrifice would be the first more extreme metal bands for the time that I was exposed to in my youth and later some of the 2nd wave of black metal with bands like Marduk, Emperor, Mayhem and Satyricon would really make an impression on me. For the record, I also like some of the older death metal bands that would emerge from Sweden, England and the USA like Carnage, Dismember, Entombed, Carcass and Massacre which I really like as well. Some of the current bands I listen to on the more blackened death or black metal side of things are Invocation, Ceremonial Bloodbath, Cthonica, Goatblood, Heresiacrch, Profane Order, Blood Chalice, and Tyrant Goatgaldrakona to name a few.

3.When did you first become interested in writing and playing music? What was the first instrument you first learned to play?

DH: In my teens I began trying to learn how to play on my own on electric guitar at first but I really did not start to write anything until years later.

4.What instruments do you currently play? Are their any new instruments that you would like to learn to play one day?

DH: I play guitar, bass and drums. For new instruments…perhaps better my skills with acoustic guitar and I wouldn’t mind trying to learn piano.

5.DH.you started Unkept earlier this year when did you first get the idea to start this band? Are you satisfied with how things have gone so far?

DH: Correct, I have had the idea for awhile but I think this whole “worldly crisis” pandemic madness pushed it into overdrive. With having more time to spare and all the various controversial matters going on world wide and simply being tired of hearing the ongoing monotony of it all, it became a true inspiration to do so.

6.You are the sole-member of Unkept, did you plan to work alone or would you like to add more members to make it a full line-up?

DH: It was really more convenient to work alone with all that’s been happening in present times. For now, it will remain as just myself, I think.

7.For the readers unfamiliar with Unkept's musical style how would you best describe it? Who would you say are the bands biggest influences?

DH: For the most part I would say a black death metal style with influences of war metal and older forms of death metal too. Picture Marduk meets a heavy death metal band like Carnage as an example.

8.What do you feel is the easiest and hardest part about being the only member of the band?

DH: Independence and not having to rely on anyone is the easiest part but financially with paying for either recording costs or getting artwork or that done on your own is a bit harder then having a full member band splitting the costs.

9.The Self-titled debut is being released through Dawning Septic Prod. When did you first come in contact with this label?

DH: After having a previous release deal fall through with another label, I had found Dawning Septic Productions online and decided to make contact around May 2021 and they agreed to do a tape edition.

10.How long did it take you to write the music for the debut release? How long does it usually take to complete one song?

DH: To write the debut EP, it was written within a few weeks or so and then after was sent for mixing and mastering. I am not certain on that but it could range from a day or a few days at a time to write one song out.

11.Where do you draw inspiration for the lyrics and what are some subjects written about on the debut release?

DH: Warfare, destruction and historic incursions for the most part is of topic matter.

12.Have you started working on new music for the next release? Will it be a EP. or would you like to write enough for a full-length release?

DH: Not as of yet but I will when I have more time and inspiration for it. Hopefully, next time round it will be more towards a full-length release but it all depends how I feel. I would rather do something more worth while and worth doing than just shit something out for the sake of having a new release as fast as possible.

13.What does Underground Metal mean to you?

DH: Metal of the more extreme and ghastly variety that is not liked by a majority first off and is not on every single billboard sign or medium available that is definitely less known or not accessible.

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

DH: I do but I am not here to discuss them.

15.When not working on new music or band business what do you like to do in your free

time?

DH: I read, write, exercise, research, explore, survive, listen to music and work on self improvement.

16.Unkept comes out of the Canadian Blackened death metal scene, what is your opinion of Canada's metal scene over the years?

DH: Unkept is from Canada yes but I would not say we are part of any scene and being that Unkept only began in Spring 2021, we have barely put a dot on the map yet. The Canadian metal scene I feel is strong and growing, there are a lot of great bands from coast to coast that come from here from both the past and present.

17.Who are your all-time favorite bands coming out of Canada and are there any new ones you feel the readers should check out soon?

DH: Some of my all-time favorites would be mainly older bands like Razor, Sacrifice, Infernal Majesty, Blasphemy and Slaughter and newer or more recent bands to check out from Canada would be Ceremonial Bloodbath, Saccage, Hak-Ed Damm, Outre-Tombe, Spectral Dance, Hellacaust, Nuclear Hammer, Profane Order and Paroxsihezm.

18.Thank you DH. for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final comments for the readers?

DH: No problem, thanks again Patrick for doing this interview with me! Support bands, labels, Zines and take the time to listen to the Unkept debut release if you haven’t already and download or buy one of our tapes!

Interview with Namtar vocalist,guitarist of Namtaru and owner of Plague Demon Rec. done 8-12-21

 

1.Hails Namtar please introduce yourself to the readers?

 Hail brother's, sisters and tyrant's of the underground Metal scene!!! I'm NAMTAR AXARCUTH lead guitarist and vocalist/song writer for NAMTARU. Also formerly from the mighty USBM bands Perverseraph and Blood Storm and also owner operator of PLAGUE DEMON RECORDS

2.When did you first discover black and metal in general?And what is it about this genre that draws you in and keeps you interested?

I would have to say Venom, Celtic Frost, Bathory, Kreator , Sodom, Destruction, Slayer,Possessed, voivod,King Diamond, Mercyful Fate ,Motorhead, Razor , Exodus - Bonded by blood , Death, Pentagram( Chile), Autopsy Blasphemy,Necrovore, the misfit's the crumbsuckers, The first few D.R.I. albums bands like this is where it all started I have older brothers that have had me listening to metal and punk since as far back as i can remember, in later years Mayhem, Emperor, Impaled Nazarene, Enslaved, Darkthrone, STORM, Isengard, Satyricon, Marduk, Absu, Burzum ( I know the B word LMAO what a bunch of pussies this world has become not that i support whatever they try to call it , Nazism, hate ,but freedom to choose what you want to hear, see or believe, is what i believe in , freedom to be yourself and make your own choices) but bands such as this are what made me have a demonic passion for this music ,.I was born a metal head and I'll die one. I was always drawn more to the darker side of things, I have studied , practiced and mastered the black arts and the occult for a long time now. My mother was a crazy christian who sprinkled me with holy water in my sleep, I would wake up cursing her out and she would say "see that's the devil coming out of you " and i would say "no you psychopath you're sprinkling me with water im my sleep". (funny but not so funny when you lived this way) which is probably what pushed me more towards the occult! I remember thinking as a child "christians are fucking crazy ", soley based on my mother and all other bible thumpers I encountered as a child who always had something to hide and so they hide behind that big binder of toilet paper ,call it as you see it i don't pull punches I'm pretty straight forward and tell it how i see it, so there begins that chapter in my life the age of reason and a heart and mind so full of hate , but singing playing and listening to Black metal seemed to take all of that hatred away.So as a child i loved all of the great bands i mentioned up top here which put the seeds in place and later sprouted into a black spiraling abyss of sonic horror, putred chaos , and pure metal tyranny. Which has taken me in many roads and directions, up and down through out my whole life. This music, Black Metal ,is not just music! Its a way of life! Its my fucking life, but I'll share it with all of you! Hails

3.Who were the first artists and bands that you listened to and who are some of the current bands that have caught your attention?

first favorite bands were honestly celtic frost ,kreator, venom, Bathory ,slayer , death, the early morbid angel albums Mike Browning's vocals rule! possesed and honestly most of what iI listen to from today arey labels bands.

4. Namtar i believe you started your journey into the black metal scene with your band Namtaru.When did you first get the idea to start this band?Are you satisfied with how things have progressed over the years?

I started this band in 1995 all the songs on the first ep were all my first songs and that also includes Ancient Serpent which was cut from the EP due to a drum fuck up and in 2018 rerecored it for the Ancient Serpent 7 inch and 7 inch cd version with bonus track . So i did BLOOD STORM and Perverseraph for many years in the beginning of us all playing together in multiple bands NAMTARU was all my writings, Perverseraph was all shaitan's writings and Blood Storm all Mezzadurus, at one point we decided to condense Namtaru and Perverseraph into 1 band and I being the bigger man said we could put Namtaru on the back burner for now . over 80 songs i now have to record due to a certain person never wanting to record all of these songs and get them out in Perverseraph. So I will be bringing you many songs from past present and future very soon in a hell storm of fury. coming at you with a unforseen rising of the corpse god, my only regret is not recording all of those songs ,I wrote a whole Perverseraph album minus 1 riff per song, we went into the studio and recorded all guitar, lead guitar and drums and someone broke up Perverseraph because they didn't like that they didn't write enough on that album. i will say nothing more then Johnny egos are unnecessary. get your songs out there for Necrotion. And yes we still play together now John ( shaitan) as he was on Ancient Serpent and the NAMTARU/Legio Inferi ( Colombia)split but i did do the song for the USBM TRIBUTE TO DARKTHRONE myself that was all me and my drummer.

5.I believe you are the sole member of the band when you formed Namtaru did you plan to work alone or would you like to add more members for a full-line-up?

I always had a full line up i need a new drummer at the moment as mine is on a leave because he adopted 2 kids that my neice lost and i have a bassist and John ( shaitan) litchko in the studio so yes i want a full line up drummer's hit me up i need someone amazing to fill the shoes of teloc coraxo and Ben Daimon Fahy.

6.How do you feel the bands music has evolved and changed over the years?Who would you say are the bands biggest influences? 

voivod, Darkthrone, venom,celtic frost, Bathory ,old - kreator,, destruction, Early morbid angel, , destroyer 666, bestial warlust I could go on all day.

7.I believe your newest release is a split release with the Colombian black metal band Legio Inferi.How long did it take to write the music for the new release?

honestly the split was supposed to be them and Demon Hammer from TX but they couldn't record because of covid so i found some songs on my old 16 track polished them up and released the songs you hear now on that split i would have honestly never have chosen those songs if it weren't as rushed and unexpected as it was. but in the end it was a sick release!

8.How long does it usually take you to complete one song?

i write a whole song in a few hours usually ,whats time consuming is teaching everyone else i would love to find a drummer to take Ben Daimon Fahy's place to record song after song i have my own studio and all instruments to record so hopefully someone gets back to me very soon or im gonna have to program drums which i dont wanna do.

9.Where do you draw inspiration for the lyrics and what are some subjects you write about?

the occult the necronomicon mythos , the reptilian's , demons and entities I have encountered during my years of studying and practicing black magic , the writings of Kenneth Grant ,Chaos magick such as liber null and psychonaught ,enochian magick and at times h.p..lovecraft. most of my stuff is based on the necronomicon book's though as many as there are today.

10.Have you started working on new music for the bands next release?Any idea if it will be a full length or EP.?

 there's 1 more short surprise coming a 6 band split which i won't reveal yet but Namtaru is on there then i will finish the Perverseraphfull length Album that broke up the band under the name Namtaru . and a brand new blasting fucking album that will crush from start to finish!!!!

11. Namtar you own and operate the black metal label Plague Demon Rec. when did you first get the idea to start a label?Are you satisfied with how things have gone with the label so far?

The label has by far exceeded my expectations in just a year and a half i am on CD catalog number 32 coming up in the next few weeks . I wanted to start my idea a year before i did and i was releasing the Ancient Serpent 7 inch with afterworld records. waited a year for my release and the week it comes out Jason from afterworld verbally assaulted the awesome Kelly tee . but me and her became great friends after u wrote her an apology on behalf of all if the bands.

And where I was only supposed to get 150 of 500 I made him send all 500 for the embarrassment he put all if us band's through.And im greatly satisfied with the way the label has turned out. we have a lot of great supporters. hail to all who keep us going i also made a pact with my war brother Chuck from BCHRECORDS that we will do each releases together from now on and have been doing so for many releases now.

12.What do you feel is the easiest and hardest part about running a label?Do you have any friends or contacts who help you with the label ?

i have chuck from Bchrecords and Tom Nando from the metal lab helping greatly he is now part of the Plague Demon Records crew. and i have so many contacts from  throughout the years that its crazy and also make new friend's and connections from week to week. So between me and Chuck we are bringing hell to Earth with the 2 best lanels in the underground.

13.How many hours a day would you say you work on label business?

i am currently working on 2 construction sites during the day and at night and throughout the day i squeeze it all in tjeir so at least 5 or 6 hours a night i work on the label

14.Namtar you and Chuck{ Blasphemous Creations Of Hell.} have co-released quite a few releases together when did you two first meet?

15.What are some of your current releases that you have released? Are their any upcoming releases the readers should watch out for soon?

Interview with Chuck Owner of Blasphemous Creations Of Hell Rec. done on 8-11-21

 

1.Hails Chuck please introduce yourself to the readers?

Blasphemous Hails to everyone!!! My name is Chuck. I have been into metal since 1983. I own and run Blasphemous Creations Of Hell Records here in South Florida.

2.When did you first discover black and metal in general?And what is it about this genre that draws you in and keeps you interested?

Back in 1983 my friend Pat who later formed the band Hellwitch met a guy named Kevin who was into metal. Once I heard it I new that this is the music for me. The sheer aggression and violent nature and pure hatred keeps me coming back for more.

3.Who were the first artists and bands that you listened to and who are some of the current bands that have caught your attention?

Some of the first bands I listened to would be Slayer / Mantas / Death / Bathory / Sodom / Possessed / Destruction / Venom. Bands today that I have been listening to would be Owls Blood from Spain / Amputator / Howling / Battle Dagorath / Asagraum / Diaboli / Indesiderium / Kvele / Oath plus many more.

4.Chuck you own and operate the black metal label Blasphemous Creations Of Hell Rec. when did you first get the idea to start a label?Are you satisfied with how things have gone with the label so far?

I have been wanting to start a Distro / Label for many years but really didn’t have the cash to do so until about 4 years ago. Yes I am very satisfied with everything. More business is always better.

5.What do you feel is the easiest and hardest part about running a label?Do you have any friends or contacts who help you with the label?

The easy part about running the label is packing up all the orders. The hardest part I would say is keeping track of inventory and restocking merchandise. Also keeping in contact with webzines for interviews not just for me but for the bands that are on the label for reviews and keeping up with online radio shows so they can play the bands music that are on the label. Trying to get max exposure for them.

6.How many hours a day would you say you work on label business?

Besides my 40 hour a week job. Everyday is different. There are days where I spend 2 or 3 hours straight and then I am back and forth answering emails and packing orders.

7,Chuck you and Namtar{from Plague Demon Rec.} have co-released quite a few releases together when did you two first meet?

I met Namtar back in 2002 at the Sacrifice Of The Nazarene Child Fest in San Antonio, Texas. Bloodstorm and myself ended up sharing a hotel room and that’s how we met. We lost contact with each other for many years and got back in touch in early 2020 after I posted on Facebook about finding more label contacts.

8.What are some of your current releases that you have released? Are their any upcoming releases the readers should watch out for soon?

Here are my current releases along with the bands that are released with Plague Demon Records: STORM OF EVIL / THRONE OF NIPPUR / APHELION / ENSARCOSIS DEMONICA / ATER / ZWETWEZEN / KVLT OF ODIUM / HOWLING / ASMODAEN BLOOD COVEN / SVARTMASS / TILL / VALEFAR / SELVMORD / HISEMTUKS HIMI.N / EIRIK / MORKHGRAT / LAWRENCE WALLACE /PRIMORDIAL SERPENT / FROZEN FORTRESS / AEIGORT / PROGOAT / NEKCRIUM / ISATAII. Yes we have over 20 more bands waiting to be unleashed. Bands like: Necroroots (Mexico) / Pestalagon Presmetrius (Russia) / Temple Of Gorgon (USA) / Clenching Shadow (USA) / Thale (Norway) / Caveghoul (USA) / Servant Of Ulvaar (USA) to name a few. Don’t want to let out all the names.

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

98% of what we carry is black metal and different genres of black metal. The other 2% is death metal. I do both, trades and buy wholesale.

10.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 try to stay with all black metal. Anything other than black metal I normally get from trades. They can contact me by email: slaughterlord666@aol.com

11.What does Black metal mean to you?

Black metal is not a trend or fashion. Some call it a cult. Black metal is a way of life. It is of pure hatred and of pure evil against all religions.

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

Besides spending time with my wife and daughter. Actually just listening to black metal and appreciating the pure talent of the bands.

13.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?

I really didn’t read a lot of fanzines. I was way to busy trading cassette tapes and later video tapes but the few I did read were Metal Forces and Slayer Zine that I can remember.

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

I believe a really good and honest interview and review of bands and their releases make a good fanzine. I have been keeping up with The Highway Corsair Zine. We have been putting full page ads in there. Also Bathory Webzine. He does a lot of our band reviews and we are doing his bands release in the near future and of course Violent Demise Webzine.

15.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?

I tape traded for about 10 years straight. Then I filmed and traded videos for about 15 years straight. My most cherished item I have is my Bathory- “The Return” LP autographed by Quorthon and I am on the credit listings of Bathory- “Under The Sign Of The Black Mark” LP which of course I have that LP.

16..Thank you Chuck for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final comments for the readers?

Thank you very much for interviewing me. It is an honor. I would like to say to everyone out there to go and buy the actual hard copies of CDs and LPs and shirts to support these great bands that are out there.
