1.Hails Chuck please introduce yourself to the readers?
Eternal Hails!!! My name is Chuck. I own and run BLASPHEMOUS CREATIONS OF HELL RECORDS.
2.You run the Black Metal label Blasphemous Creations Of Hell Records what gave you the idea to start this label?
I have been wanting to start a label for a long time but didn’t have the money to do so until about 4 years ago when I started it. I got a hold of a few contacts and they helped me get it started.
3.What are some releases that are currently out and what are some of the 2022 releases the readers can look out for?
As of right now there are 38 releases that are out. APHELION/ENSARCOSIS DEMONICA/ATER/APHELION/ZWETWEZEN/KVLT OF ODIUM/HOWLING/ASMODAEN BLOOD COVEN/TILL/VALEFAR/PRIMORDIAL SERPENT to name a few. Plague Demon Records and I have just released BLASPHEMOUS PLAGUES OF THE UNDERGROUND VOLUME #1 (2 Disks) Compilation CD. It contains 27 unreleased tracks not on any other release from the bands under our labels. Right now we are working on HISEMTUKS HIMI.N second release and ISATAII second release. Here are a few more bands we have lined up: Sisters Memon/Gorguina/Lungor/Amras Numenesse/Apocalyptic Leaders and Nebulous of Blood.
4.Chuck you started a radio show towards the end of 2021 when did you first get the idea to start up this show?
Honestly I never had the idea of doing a radio show. Tom Nando who runs THE METAL LAB out of England was doing a Battle Of The Bands and the band Howling who I released there first EP called "The Aesthetics Of Rot" won the battle. The prize was a 15 minute interview and a few songs played on air from France The Planet on Burg Studios. After that Tom contacted me and Namtar Axarcuth from Plague Demon Records and asked if we were interested in doing a black metal radio show. France The Planet from Burg Studios wanted a black metal segment. I said hell yeah why not. I started in November doing one show a week every Wednesday night at 7pm eastern standard time here in the USA. The name of the show is BLASPHEMOUS PLAGUES OF HELL METAL SHOW.

5.When did you first become interested in doing a radio show? Is this your first radio show or have you done others in the past?
I never thought of doing a radio show in the past because I had no connections in the field until now. Yes this is my first time ever doing a radio show.
6.What do you feel is the easiest and hardest part of doing a radio show?
Doing the show is pretty easy. Well easier than I thought it would be and France The Planet helped me learn how to use the program to do the show. Eternal Hails to France The Planet for all his help and support. The hardest part of doing the show is trying to pronounce the band names and the album titles and song titles. I only speak English so trying to pronounce all other languages is very challenging.
7.How have the shows been so far and how many listeners do you usually average? What days and times does your show play?
All the shows have been brutal I play nothing but extreme underground black metal. Mostly unknown underground bands and our releases along with some of the well known bands. I average about 50 or so listeners per show which I have been told that is very good for the short amount of time I have been doing it. I do one show a week every Wednesday night at 7pm eastern standard time here in the USA. Https://burgstudio.co.za/chuck
8.Do you have a way for the readers to download past shows if they are interested in doing so?
I have all the shows uploaded to mix cloud. Here is the link if they want to check it out https://www.mixcloud.com/Blasphemousplaguesofhell/
9.If their are any bands or labels interested in submitting material where can they send you their music?
I am always looking for new music for the show. Remember I only play black metal. They can email me at slaughterlord666@aol.com
10.If you had the opportunity and the time have you ever thought about starting up a Black Metal only radio station?
Now that I am doing my show I would love to start my own station but between working a 40 hour job and running my distro and doing the show I really don’t have the time to get everything that is involved to get my own station started.
11.What does Black Metal mean to you?
Black Metal is not a trend or a fad or a cult. Black Metal is a way of life.
12.Thank you Chuck for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final comments for the readers?
First and foremost I want to thank my partner and Eternal Warbrother at PLAGUE DEMON RECORDS for all his help and support for the last year or so. Second I would like to thank FRANCE THE PLANET at BURG STUDIOS for all his help and support in getting my show started. Without him I wouldn’t be doing the show right now. Eternal Hails Brother!!! To everyone out there in the metal scene. Go out and support your local bands along with all other bands in the scene. Buy physical copies of CDs and LPs. Also shirts and whatever other merchandise the bands have out. This digital download shit is killing the scene. Bands and labels count on your support. To many bands fade away and to many labels are closing down because of lack of sales. Do your share and SUPPORT!!!!!
