Suicidal Winds
The bandname SUICIDAL WINDS came to reality in August 1992, right after the split-up of Mathias and Peter´s former band KRISTOS MORTIS, but it wasn´t before January 1994 SUICIDAL WINDS did their first rehearsal. Then as a two-piece, with Mathias on drums/vocals and Peter on guitar. Only two months later, in March, the band´s first release saw the light, a reh/demo called "The Road To…". Due to the extremely primitive and chaotic music performed, the recording was spread in rather small extent. In August 1995 a bassplayer, Andreas, was finally added to the band. Everything became more serious with his arrival, and a new reh/demo was recorded in March 1996, called "Massacre". It included six own songs and two HELLHAMMER-covers. Also this release was spread in few copies. In the summer of 1996 the band decided to get a new drummer, Martin from MINDBLASTER, so Mathias could concentrate on the vocals only. With this new line-up SUICIDAL WINDS recorded their third demo, in January 1997, called "Aggression". Including five songs, one of them a cover of SEPULTURA´s old classic "Antichrist". The demo was sent to various magazines, and the band were trying their best to get a name in the underground. Shortly after the recording Andreas began to play as a second guitarist (instead of bass), and Mathias started to take care of the bass-playing, beside the vocals. In October 1997 SUICIDAL WINDS did a new recording, which resulted in the 5-track demo "Definitely war" (released in May ´98). The demo was sent to many fanzines around the world, and received a surprisingly good response. Actually three of the songs from this demo can be found on three different compilation-CD´s, namely "Sometimes Death Is Better, part 5-9" (Shiver Records), "From the underground…." (X-treme Records), and "NO Colours Compilation vol II" (NO Colours Records). At the end of 1998 the band come in contact with the German label No Colours Records, which resulted in a record deal. So in April 1999 the debutalbum was recorded, released in August, which is called "Winds of Death". Thirteen tracks was recorded, eleven for the CD-version, and two bonus-songs for the vinyl-version. The response on the album was extremely good. In October 1999 SUICIDAL WINDS entered the Fullmoon studio again. This time it was in purpose of recording a split EP with BESTIAL MOCKERY. It was released in March 2000 in 300 copies and got sold out almost immeditely. In the spring of 2001 a new album was recorded, titled "Victims in Blood". Also this album will be released by No Colours Records, in November 2001. SUICIDAL WINDS has only done eight live-gigs until now, six in Sweden, one in Finland, and one in Germany. With bands like SACRAMENTUM, SWORDMASTER, GRIEF OF EMERALD, MASTEMA, HYPNOSIA, INHUME, EMETH, TAETRE, A MIND CONFUSED, SVARTSYN, THE DARKSEND, OBLIGATORISK TORTYR, UNPURE, HORNA, URN, SHADOW OF SUNSET etc. One of the gigs can be found on a live-tape released by French Impaler of Trendies Prod (R.I.P), limited to 200 copies.

Zarathustra
Zarathustra was formed in summer 1996 to celebrate pure traditional Black Metal. The bandname goes back to F. Nietzsche, author of "Antichrist" & "Thus spake Zarathustra". The past founder members were Alastor (vocals), Mersus (drums), Manox (lead guitar) and Disruptor (guitar). F.T. joined the ranks on bass in autumn 1997. Shortly after, the first demo "Black perverted aggression" was recorded. In November 1998 the second demo "Heroic Zarathustrian Heresy" was unleashed and in 2000 the first album "Dogma Antichrist" followed.After several line-up changes, in January 2003 Zarathustra was in the studio to record three new songs, whereof two were released on the 7" EP "Nihilistic Terror", which among other things contains a cover-song from the Australian legend Hobbs Angel of Death.End of 2003 the second full-length album "Perpetual Black Force" was recorded and marked a new era for the band.After F.T.'s discharge out of the band in the end of 2004, Desecrator joined the position on bass. Shortly after, beg. of 2005, 5 new songs (incl. a cover-version of German Black Metal veterans Poison) of dark, atmospheric and traditional Black Metal were perpetuated in the unholy chambers of Necromorbus Studio in Sweden for the latest release of the mini-album "Contempt" plus two additional tracks for an upcoming 7" EP. Since March 2006 Zarathustra made a pact with the devil in the form of Agonia Records for two albums. The third full-length album is going to be recorded in May 2006 in Necromorbus Studio -
Denial of God
Denial Of God is formed July 5th by the brothers Ustumallagam (vocals) and Azter (guitar) (the only remaining members from back then) along with a drummer named Uksul. nspired by a variety of bands and artists like Alice Cooper, King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, Death SS, Mayhem, Bathory, Infernäl Mäjesty and Hellhammer (to name just a few) and everything related to horror, Satanism and the occult and supernatural, the band starts writing their first early material.This material ends up on the band’s first demo tape entitled ”Oscularium Infame” which is released in summer 1992. Meanwhile a bassist, Kulmar, joins the band. Being recorded simply in the rehearsal room on a tape recorder and at a such an early stage, the sound turns out bad and the playing is anything but tight. The demo is loved by some and hated by many, but shows a band that does not care about the current trends at the time and are going their own way, musically as well as lyrically and even image-wise. It is fair to say the band becomes very much the opposite of the currents a time where most bands will deliver stripped down shows and dealing with the supernatural is regarded as something belonging to the past. Most people fail to understand the concept of the band and some slag the band for the use of horror make-up and their Satanic approach.The demo includes among others ”Dethrone the Tyrant-God!” which is still played live today and also is re-recorded for the 1999 mini-album ”Klabautermanden”. Followingly the band plays its first 2 shows of which the latter takes place in Sweden. Already at these concerts the band gains a notorious reputation for their onstage antics, which include the use of living maggots thrown at the concert audience. -
Abominator
ABOMINATOR was formed on a bloodletting day in late 1994 by Chris Volcano (drums & vokills) and Andrew Undertaker (murderous guitars). The aim was to create the most brutal black/death/war metal possible to assault this realm. After much construction, the 1995 demo 'Barbarian war worship' in May of that year.This recieved a positive response from the underground and is noted as being one of the most chaotic and brutal demos ever. It was later to be released as a split CD with swedish death metal band MORNALAND.
In late 95, Deathsaw Dave (guitars) and Gary Gestapo (bass) were added to the line up and after a handful of eventful gigs, one of which was with BESTIAL WARLUST, their vocalist Damon Bloodstorm departed and joined ABOMINATOR on bass and vokals and Gary Gestapo was dismissed.
After more dark projection and battle planning, in early 1997 the demo 'The Conqueror Possessed' was recorded, this time retaining the bands chaotic sound, but displayed a much more progressed form of black/death.
After some more gigs, and the departure of Deathsaw Dave, Bloodstorm visited the US and caught up with the people at Necropolis records who took an instant liking to ABOMINATOR. This resulted in an album deal which resulted in the recording of the album 'Damnations Prophecy' in mid 1998 as well as a track for the Necropolis records 'Thrashing Holocaust' compilation 99.
'Damnations…' was to display the full extent of ABOMINATOR's repetoire and recieved rave reviews in some press. This was followed by gigs, more songwriting and many drunken nights.
In late 99 Bloodstorm stopped playing bass to concentrate more on Vokal lust. In early 2000 Steve Undinism was added as a session bass player for a rather violent gig we were to play later that year. Around this time ABOMINATOR was ready to record the hyper brutal 'Subversives for Lucifer' album. Shortly after the rythm tracks had been laid down, Necropolis records decided they no longer wanted to support the band so the contract was rendered void. This left the band with half an album recorded and no label.
However ABOMINATOR forged on regardless. Soon after the mixing was complete, a promo was sent off to many labels worldwide. Soon after, we were offered a contract with french label OSMOSE productions and the album 'Subversives for Lucifer' was released in mid to late 2001. This album displayed a huge step up in the overall sound of the band, offering much faster, tighter and more chaotic songs. It too recieved great reviews from the world underground.
In early 2001, we enlisted the services of Max Krieg on vocals, formerly of NZ band COVEN. His brutal voice added to the bands already chaotic sound to create an even darker and more sinister feeling.
After some gigs in Melbourne, Adelaide and Canberra, footage for a film clip was shot for the Osmose 'world domination' DVD in early 2002. The band has now added Valak Exhumer (Bass assault) to the line up and will begin recording their new album 'Nuctemeron Descent' in October 2002.
In early 2003 the new album was completed, and ABOMINATOR has embarked upon various gigs to promote the latest instilling of chaos. Promotion for 'Nuctemeron descent' commenced with a gig with INCANTATION at the Esplanade hotel in June 2003 followed by other local gigs. 'Nuctemeron descent' was finally unleashed in late 2003 and recieved rave reviews from the worldwide underground, offering the most brutal and proficient ABOMINATOR album and one of the most intense black/death metal albums at that time.
Some gigs were performed shortly after, playing with the likes of DESTROYER 666, HOBBS ANGEL OF DEATH and GOSPEL OF THE HORNS. This continued for the first half of 2004 with gigs around Melbourne as well as a gig in SYDNEY, in June 2004. The band was also booked to play at the Bloodlust 2004 festival, but vocalist Max Krieg left the band as well as the country totally unexpectedly, thus leaving the band without a vocalist and having to cancel all future shows. This did not, however, deter the band from pursuing further musical extremities.
At around this time the band was dumped from the Osmose label and after some careful consideration it was determined that Displeased records was the most suitable label to handle ABOMINATOR's music, and in early 2005 finally signed up a two album deal with the Displeased label. ABOMINATOR continued to compose new material in late 2004/early 2005 and hit 'Jam Tin' studios to record the latest album 'The Eternal Conflagration' in mid 2005. It is the heaviest and catchiest ABOMINATOR material to date with eight tracks of pure satanic aussie chaos. Chris Volcano once again took up vocal duties in the absence of a full-time vocalist. Sheduled for release on May the 28th, 2006, it promises crush all in its path with unprecedented fury, reminding the world the end times are, in fact, upon us………..

Musta Surma
MUSTA SURMA is follower for CRIMSON EVENFALL(r.i.p.) which worked from `94 to `97. Line-up was Thyrgrimmr:voice,drums,synth , Strigoi Mort:guitars , Krieg:bass. The band did demos called "Nocturnal Storms of Infinity" (`96) , "Winterheart" (early`97) and "Ad Inferos Ante Christum Natum" (autumn`97). They got great response in Underground.
In the end of `97 Krieg left away from the band so Thyrgrimmr and Strigoi Mort, masterminds behind C.E., decided to rename band to be MUSTA SURMA.
MUSTA SURMA recorded "Demo 97" in December and it was released in January 98. That tape got extreme good response from the BM underground.
Musical basis of M.S. is same like C.E., pure and aggressive Black Metal in the vein of old Scandinavian BM gods, but rawer and uglier way than C.E. ever did. There is no place for synth, beautiful melodies etc for sure! All lyrics of M. S. are written in Finnish and main goal is clear; they are sword against the christianity.
M.S. recorded three new songs in December 98 and after all delays and problems MCD called "RIENA" was released May `99. Also Surma Productions was founded for our self-financed release(s) at the same time.
In December `99 M.S. and one of the most honourable Finnish BM horde HORNA gathered their powers and recorded split-EP for French END ALL LIFE productions. That vinyl was released in April 2000. The song "…And heaven fell" was recorded in August `00 for EAL compilation LP called "Black Metal Blitzkrieg". It was released in February 01. English lyrics in this song are exception in common MUSTA SURMA line, in future we�ll blaspheme in Finnish again.

Zemial
Zemial are known as one of the first Hellenic Black/Death Metal bands to emerge from the late 1980s/early 1990s underground scene. They do not have the sound that most Hellenic bands are known for (initiated by the mighty Rotting Christ in 1993) as their influences are drawn from the darkness of Bathory, and the depth of Celtic Frost and Hellhammer.1989/1990 Embryonic stages, changing line-ups, first promo rehearsal and demo recordings, 3 live shows with bands such as Flames, Obsecration and Piranha.1991 - Establishment of Zemial line-up with Vorskaath on guitars and vocals, Mentor (who later founded Kawir) on bass and Necrosauron (of Rotting Christ) on drums. The band rehearses the material for their first official release and circulates 2 promo cassettes which are received very well throughout the underground scene. Anticipation for the official recording has begun.
1992 Zemial record their first official release Sleeping Under Tartarus at MOLON LAVE Studios in Athens (later called Storm Studios). Newfound French label Osmose Productions contacts Vorskaath for the release of the EP, however in line with the underground spirit of music for the spirit not for money; Vorskaath refuses the offer. The EP is released in the USA through the underground labels Gothic Records/Torched Records to great acclaim. It is sold out immediately, making it one of the most popular releases of the newly developed Hellenic scene and making Zemial the first Hellenic Black Metal band with a record deal outside of Hellas. Osmose contacts Vorskaath yet again for an album but the offer is again refused. Finally Osmose contacts Gothmog of Thou Art Lord for a split Zemial/Thou Art Lord album, once again failing to arouse Zemials interest.
1993 Material for future albums Nykta and For the Glory of UR being composed. Magus Wampyr Daoloth of Necromantia joins the now one-man band on bass, however this line-up is short lived.
1994 Archon Vorskaath and his brother Eskarth the Dark One (of Agatus) relocate to Australia. Vorskaath begins to re-establish Zemial in the distant Continent. Sleeping Under Tartarus is re-released through Gothic Records with a different layout, this time reaching world-wide distribution. The majority of distribution and sales are still in the USA. The release is sold out through pre-orders.
1995 For the Glory of UR album recorded in Australia. After the collapse of Gothic Records, negotiations commence with Daoloths new label for the release of Zemials debut album.
1996 Hypervorea Records (now Black Lotus) and Sub-Terra Records release For the Glory of UR but fail to promote, distribute and circulate the album sufficiently and fail to meet their contractual obligations to Zemial. The contract is void and Zemial receive offers from other labels to licence the album.
1997 The raw recording that came to be known as the music for Necrolatry was recorded and circulated widely as a demo, to great acclaim. Considered by many, the best work of Zemial and a great come-back of sorts Earlier that year, Zemial had appeared on a Tribute to Bathory cd, with an unpolished version of Armageddon. The tribute circulated 16,000 copies, mainly in Europe. Around this period, the unofficial bootleg: The True Black appears, featuring Zemial, Thou Shalt Suffer and Mayhem. Toward the end of 1997, Zemial entered the studio and recorded 3 tracks for a 7 single that remains unreleased.
1998 Zemial travel to Berlin/Germania, to record their next release: Breath of the Pestilence, with famous Thrash Metal producer Harris Johns (Sodom, Kreator, Helloween). Due to technical problems, the recording remains unreleased.
1999 Iron Pegasus Records (Germania) sign Zemial and re-release the For the Glory of UR album, on cd (with bonus tracks and different artwork), picture LP and black vinyl. The debut album is finally distributed around Europe.
2000 Necrolatry is released on limited vinyl format (picture disc and black vinyl) to a great response and sold out within two months of its release.
2001 - Zemial embark on their first European tour with label mates Desaster from Germany. Their appearances incorporated elements never before known in the Black Metal genre, such as free improvisational parts and pianissimo ensemble playing.
2002 - Zemial prepare for their next European tour in summer of 2003 and begin negotiations for their 2 upcoming releases. Most of the time however is spent on other musical projects, such as Alpha Centauri and The Watcher.
2003 Zemial enter Eskarth's studio (The Vault) and record Face of the Conqueror and DAIMON. The material is composed/improvised during the recording sessions, with no prior rehearsing. The band tour Europe once again to promote their new releases. Face of the Conqueror marks the last release of Zemial with Iron Pegasus Records.
2004 - The death of Quorthon (Bathory) on June 7, 2004, who had been the primary influence and inspiration on Vorskaath, prompted the composition of a new Zemial album that would be dedicated to the memory of Quorthon, for the enormous influence he had on Zemial.
2005 - Zemial begin rehearsals and enter the Vault studios again to record In Monumentum; their tribute to Thomas Forsberg (Quorthon).
2006 In Monumentum is due to be released in May (Climax of the Equinox) through Vorskaath's label and a 2006 European tour has been scheduled, centred mainly around Zemial's fatherland Hellas, but also including shows in Germany, The Netherlands, Finland and other European countries.
Finally, as of June 2006, Zemial have been officially based in the Rheinland Pfalz region of GERMANY, preparing for further conquests and live appearances early in 2007.
The Darkness Continues… -
Sadistik Exekution
[DW]Slaughter: Do you consider Sadistik Exekution as the most finest moment of your life? Do you look at it as a new beginning when you guys toured Europe? Have you been involved with the infamous fight on your tour bus?
Rev. Kriss Hades: Sadistik Exekution is an Institution of the Insane. When I first came in contact with Dave Slave and Rok in Melbourne after answering an ad seeking the 'heaviest guitarists in the world' I was a teenager who was very obsessed by death metal and metal in general so it was amazing to be part of such a nightmare band at the time. In the early times of the band life was very surrealistic and the mayhemic metal lifestyle suited my mind with total metal and metal sluts, alcohol and drugs. A lot of what you could call paranormal experiences were peculiar to the center of Sadistik Exekution and behavior that was completely demented. We had a lot of fun back then. Then the metal dream was very real. As the band progressed there was pressure to become more professional and the realities of the nature of the music industry were very detrimental to us however we never let anything destroy us.
Sadistik Exekution made music that pissed a lot of people off but the highlights were when we played shows full of insane metalheads who wanted the most extreme death metal imaginable and when things went well we really killed. Sadistik is just one chapter of my life and there are many more things yet to happen. When Sadistik Exekution toured Europe it was a big new step for the band and I was concerned that it may not be beneficial as Sad X never actual toured, we would do one totally extreme show then we would have to recover as we would put everything into these performances like it was death or glory. I suggested to Herve(Osmose) that it might be better if Rok and Slave journeyed over there to do some promotional work first. The Australian audiences had seen Rok on TV and in magazines well before the first shows however even then it took them awhile to understand how to deal with Sadistik live. Once they got it the shows really started to go insane, although the very first show was extremely chaotic. When we toured we did not have complete control which was new to us and I think that Europe has yet to see Sadistik Exekution to its full potential. The fight on the bus was a complete disaster as I broke my left hand during this, I had shattered the bone that joins the little finger. I was very bad, Mika from Impaled Nazarene gave me these pain killers that were very powerful but they were serpositories! I had to play more shows with this thing but I decided to enjoy the pain and finish the tour. I didn't get to a hospital until 2 weeks later back in Oz. One hospital said it was too hard to fix and that nothing could be done so I searched to find a surgeon to fix this. I had no money after the tour and I was very ill and in total agony now as the alcohol and painkillers had worn off. I had to wait a whole day outside a hospital and I was unconscious by the time they saw me, I had holes all over me from the safety pins and looked a fucking mess. Anyway they fixed it but I could not use it for one year and then 6 months rehabilitation. It is ok now and I can play even faster than before. [DW]Slaughter: Do you think it is right for people to give you big credit on giving birth on such a chaotic style that most Australian bands do now? Do you think people should or you don't care about their opinions? What is your own view about Black Metal since that you guys claimed that You Are Death Metal?
Rev. Kriss Hades: Of course Sadistik is the most influential band in extreme metal band in this country, we also influenced many bands from overseas. Other bands try but there will only be one true band that is the master of kaos and mayhemic death metal. I see the different styles of metal very clearly even though there are people who decide to cross their styles in a hope to be original, Sometimes this works and most of the time it doesn't. Black Metal and Death Metal are not the same thing in the pure forms however they share some elements such as blast beats for example. As far as the argument of Death versus Black I have no comment as I believe they are both equally important. What I despise is when people who are outside the cults of these styles and mock them, making fun of corpse paint and the belittling the sincerity of the bands, sure there are alot of posers and shit bands but people who aren't into metal can fuck off with their opinions.
[DW]Slaughter: Since now that there are three Sad. Ex. membesrs having their own solo band(with their name on it), who do you think will follow next? Is Sloth leaving his other band and form a band named Sloth as well? Don't you think this will affect on Sad. Ex. in general or just another ways to further promote the notoriety for Sad. Ex.?
Rev. Kriss Hades: Sloth actually was always playing in other bands, in particular "Meridian" (cd-'Sundown Empire') and has even recorded a few CDs before anyone else had. He also has recorded about 70 songs. Most of them are total shit. He also has a punk thing called "Bog". I don't think anything can 'ruin' the Sad X situation.
[DW]Slaughter: Of all Sad. Ex. albums, what's the most special one to you that really relates with your life? Maybe all of them? How did you get in hooked with Rok and Dave Slave? Specially in your case, as I've heard you live on such a distant place.
Rev. Kriss Hades: 'We Are Death Fukk You" was the first full length album/CD that I was part of. I was very dedicated to making the recording. I paid for the recording and sent the recording to Osmose. I was totaly confident that we would be signed as I did not send to any other labels. "K.A.O.S." is a recording that was important to me as I though Sadistik must record a CD that is total extreme death that separates us from the "We Are Death" as that had done from the "Magus". I was able to write entire songs at this stage for the first time "Demon With Wings", "Fukked Up And Buried", "Hades Valley". "FUKK" is new and sadistik and it has the right insane atmosphere. We are working on "FUKK II" and I think this will be the last recording of Sadistik Exekution however I don't know, it may not even happen. Rok and Slave came down to Melbourne from Sydney , that takes about 13 hours driving in a car. Rok had this fucked up panel van he called "The Crypt". I remember scratching my name in the side with my knife when I saw it. They came down to Melbourne to look for members for their band and cause as much kaos in the process. Dave Slave was to go on a Television talent quest which he smashed his bass on. Rok was always being interviewed by people and he was being interviewed by PENTHOUSE just after I joined. Melbourne was very cold and eventually the went back to Sydney when Sandy the guitarist from "Slaughter Lord" and Sloth had teamed up to join the band. I stayed in Melbourne as I wasn't ready yet as a elite death metal guitarist. I could play the leads well, however I was yet to master the rhythm which is the most important part of death metal. After practicing for 2 years I was contacted by Slave to move up to Sydney. I was to join with the other Guitarist for a twin guitar attack. There were problems with Sloth becoming a born again Christian (he did this a lot) and Sandy leaving. Sloth changed back and then the band continued but it would always be subject to all kinds of ridiculous disasters and insane problems. [DW]Slaughter: What can you say about the Label that handles "The Magus"? I believe they never did a better job for you, so would you consider Osmose as the key of how Sad. Ex. become now?
Rev. Kriss Hades: Vampire Records came about because after the Magus was recorded no record label wanted to release it in Australia as the bands reputation scared al of people off and Slave found someone willing to press it and that was that. The label wasn't really serious about promoting the band more than just using it as something to brag about when socializing, they also tried to make and sell copies without us knowing about them. After getting found out and a few other things the label was in serious trouble with us so it ended. Vampire and the related associates like to claim the Sadistik Exekution are difficult to work with professionally but that is only because they tried to rip us off and we wouldn't let them. Yes I think the label has a lot to do with what happens to a band, Osmose helped introduce Europe to our music and have control on how the CDs are distributed. The members of Sadistik are ultimately responsible for what the band is now.
[DW]Slaughter: What will you do if there's a fan on the pit that climbs up on stage, grabs all of the safety pins and drag it inside your body? Is it pain a big inspiration for you? Will you let him drag all of the pins or will you smash his forehead with your guitar and throw him back down like a vegetable on the pit? Any experience you've encountered like this, seriously speaking.
Rev. Kriss Hades: I remember this time when this female metal head called Skadi who had very long hair was always getting on stage and all of her hair got all tangle up with the pins and that made me very angry and slammed her off the stage and it ripped out the pins. Also I would hate it when people would spit on me as there was a lot of that going on so I would give people beers up the front so they would not do this but they would do it anyway so then I would kick them right in the face. I broke a few noses and so forth, the look on their faces was amusing like "you cant do that!", well they shouldn't have spat! Anyway they usually were proud of it after and bragged how Sadistik broke their face.
[DW]Slaughter: I don't want to stretch this, but perhaps I can recall…how did Osmose reacted on that evening with Dave Slave smashing the tour bus to pieces? Did they confronted you in the phone? Did Osmose put you under probation because of this violent behavior?
Rev. Kriss Hades: After I went back to Australia I did not see the rest of the band for a long time with the hospital and rehabilitation so I don't know.[DW]Slaughter: As far as I've read, those bands you've toured with have their own versions for public reading…I can understand if you'll not answer, but after that incident, Sad. Ex. went on silence? Why? Does it mean to say that mess on the tour bus affects your band or say "career"? Stand me corrected.
Rev. Kriss Hades: Dave Slave is very mental and that is the truth. He had been given alcohol and that is not good for him and some person threw one of the stickers he was handing out on the ground. That made him angry and he got worse as the night went. By the time he got on the bus he was really starting to shit every one and eventually a fight started and we couldn't stop him so he really made a mess of everything. The guitarist from Absu slipped him a sleeping pill but it didn't seem to work and he was really losing it, you have to see him do this in person to really get the effect as it looks so demented and frightening but also very comical at the same time. The only alternative was to kill him by bashing him to death. This was an easy decision for me. So Rok and I were set to this task which too about 15 minutes of furious bashing and in this I broke my hand, otherwise I would have finished the job. Things started to calm down after that. The next day Slave could not remember anything and thought I was lying when I told him what he did. He was telling everyone that he loved them and he is a nice and peaceful person which really disturbed the other people. He really is mental and probably would have been better I he had of been killed. If the band was normal and wanted to pursue a usual career in touring with a metal band it would have but because Sadistik Exekution is not normal then things like that do not really affect the band. If it want that it would be something else. Things are very different now but I think that is because we don't expect to be like other bands and I don't think Osmose does either.
[DW]Slaughter: Seriously, what can you say about "Death Metal" bands using some swelling vaginas as their album cover? Don't you think this is one of the reason why the true spirit of Brutal Death Metal died?
Rev. Kriss Hades: I have never seen this but are they mutilated?
[DW]Slaughter: It is rather, people loose an interest that Death Metal must be blasphemous. People are happy enough to see all these cheap Urban Life Metal from North America. Are you against Porno Death Metal? I don't think a vagina stab with a barbed wire is sick, but belongs just to an adolescent mind! Would you agree that it is a big devaluation of Death Metal ideology?
Rev. Kriss Hades: Sarcafago sort of did that a bit I think, but what about Celtic Frost? Maybe this is some sort of phenomena that happens to death metal bands when they lose the spirit of their initial goal. Don't be surprised is Sadistik Exekution does this as well I think Rok might be making a pornographic film as we speak. He will always try to do the wrong thing.
[DW]Slaughter: To sight show similarities, what can you say about G.G. Allin sliting his throat "live" on stage? I don't know if he died on that night(well, he's dead as we speak!), but can you imagine of yourself that both of you will have the same end? What is your stand on suicide? Rev. Kriss Hades: I am the only member of Sad X that has heard of GG. I liked the video "Hated". I think Sadistik would rather kill someone else's self on stage.
[DW]Slaughter: Some songs appeared on your material injected a very suicidal twist for the listeners, would you be proud if one of the listeners kill themselves? Do you have suicidal tendencies (I guess, it's stupid enough to ask this, eh!)?
Rev. Kriss Hades: Yes this is a stupid question. I find suicide machines very fascinating, some contraption that automatikally kills you once you are strapped in and press the button with no way of getting out. I would build a guillotine machine that slices 1mm at a time so if you start at the feet it would take ages. Take heaps of acid and anesthetic and have a go!
