Interview with Thorsten vocalist of Scalpture done by Patrick
1.Hello please introduce yourself to the readers? At what age did you discover metal music and who were the first bands you listened to?
Hey Patrick! My name is Thorsten (25) from Bielefeld, Germany and, in this case singer of Scalpture! I think I started listening to metal when I was about 13. Besides some German hard rock bands my first encounters were with the classics like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Blind Guardian and (not so classic) Totenmond. The last one is a German band and without being able to describe their style they are just fucking sick!
2.When did you first meet the other members of the band?And who came up with Scalpture as the bands name?
The three other founders of our band and me were all living in a rather small town named Detmold. I was about seventeen and was keen to sing in a Death Metal band since I became a big fan of Bolt Thrower and many other bands. Felix and I were friends for a while then and he was already a great guitarist at that time. After a while and a few drinks he finally admit to give the whole idea a try. Anselm admit to play bass shortly after and knew Max from school for the drums.
3.What is the current line-up for the band and for the readers who have never heard Scalpture's music how would you best describe it?
At the moment we are lacking a drummer but recruited a second guitarist a year ago. So its Felix and Tobias on the guitar, Anselm still plays bass and I do the vocals. I usually say we play nothing less than Death Metal. Our lyrics solely deal with war while the music is often described as a mixture of Death Metal Classics like Dismember and Bolt Thrower.
4. Scalpture is getting ready to release the debut cd "Panzerdoktrine" through Final Gate Rec. how did you all come in contact with this great label?
After we´ve published our EP Border Crossing on our own, we realised how stressful it is and how hard it is to make your mark. We tried to find a label which publishes our first full length album and we contacted a bunch. Fortunately Marco from Final Gate liked the EP we sent him and offered us to publish “Panzerdoktrin” via his Label.
5.Does the whole band take part in the writing process or does one member usually write everything?
Actually Felix had been the musical mastermind behind Scalpture and composed all the music. Since we recruited Tobias we've got two great musicians who do the song writing and they interact perfectly. From the beginning on I was responsible for the lyrics. I believe I can perform better if I have written the lyrics on my own and the others were never really interested in texting anyway.
6.Thorsten you handle the vocals for the band at what age did you start growling and screaming?Is their anything special you do to keep your voice and throat healthy?
I think my adolescent self started “singing” along with his favourite Death Metal bands in his room. I´ve reduced smoking in the last few years as well as I try to practice quiet often, especially when I'm driving or showering.
7.Who are some of your influences and favorite vocalists? Besides the vocals do you currently play any other instruments if yes what do you play?
I admire a lot of singers. Some because of ther "special" voice, for the authenticy, some for their great lyrics, some more for who they are. From Kurt Cobain or Lemmy to Karl Willets, Martin van Drunen or Chris Reifert there are plenty. I think as an inspiration for Scalpture especially those singers and bands play a part that play comparable music or have compareable lyrics.
Besides singing I sometimes TRY to play the guitar. This is more are spontanious outburst of pure overconfidence because I absolutely suck. My girlfriend would agree a 100%.
8. Thorsten I assume you write the lyrics for the band and I noticed the lyrics are based on war when did you and the band start writing about war? Are their any wars in particular that you write about?
Since we've started, for me war was the only topic I could write about. I have always been interested in history and wars. I study history by now. My “inspiration” comes from all modern conflicts. The song “Keiler” (boar) is the name of an actual German mine flail, while “Dam Busters” is dealing with the 617th English bomber squadron in WWII. Most of our songs deal with war on a more abstract level. Just to give some examples “Not a Single Step Back” is loosely connected to the Red Army's creed in Stalingrad, though the text does not really give a hint as it is the same with “No Rest, No Sleep, No Peace” which is connected to the Wehrmacht's practice giving some tank crews a preform of Crystal Meth called “Panzerschokolade” (tank chocolate). “Lead From Ahead” deals with the strategy of troop leading in the German and other armies, while “Flattened Horizons” is actually an ode to tank howitzers in general.
However, our next Album is planned to be a concept album about a certain conflict...
9.Besides studying and reading about the past wars are their any other times in history you and the other members of the band like to read and study?
Well actually we do not talk so much about history with each others. The texting is my job, which I do alone. For Panzerdoktrin of course I was interested in the tank-topic. So I was interested in period between the Second World War 'till today. Because of my studies I started reading a lot of individual testimonies from soldiers who fought in WW I. Especially the wartime experience and its influence on the soldiers and society are the main focus. Before that I studied on the pre modern Denmark.
10.Does Scalpture get to play "live" very often? Who are some bands you all have gotten to share the stage with?
Haha you are touching us on the raw buddy! We haven't hit the stage for more than one and a half year now. First I studied abroad in Sweden for a semester, then we entered the studio, then we parted from our drummer. We haven't found a new one yet but we plan to get back on stage in 2017 as soon as possible!
We mostly played underground shows with other underground bands so far. Just to mention our friends from Evoked here. Once we shared stage with Deserted Fear which was a great lesson!
11.Are their any shows or tours planned for 2017 if yes where will the band be touring and playing?
Right now there are no officially announced shows but we are planning a lot at the moment. If all works out we'll share stage with Evoked and Carnal Tomb from time to time.
12.When not working on band business or new music what do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Haha playing the guitar!
13.Scalpture comes out of the German old-school death metal scene what is your opinion of Germany's metal scene?
Germany's metal scene in general is pretty big. During the summer time you`ll find a whole lot of small and big festivals all over the country every weekend. There are hundreds of concerts every weekend you could actually visit. Like with every big scene the vast majority are pretentious idiots, I don't have much in common with and I don't like them. Still there are really great guys and girls and really cool bands making it worth being a part of the scene.
14.Who are some of your all-time favorite German bands and are their any new bands you feel the readers should watch out for?
There are a few I think. No matter how often I put on Sodom, Accept or Morgoth, they just don't get bad! If you ask me for more unpopular bands people really should watch out for...phew...there are!
First of all there are our home town friends from Wifebeater playing pure scum fuck rock n' roll!Then there are our friends from Evoked playing great real old school Death Metal an just got signed by FDA Records! There is Vulture (speed metal) as they will release their debute album in 2017. I like Cryptic Brood from Wolfsburg playing ugly doomy Death Metal and Carnal Tomb from Berlin and Deathrite from Dresden. Weak Aside plays great war Death Metal as well as Atomwinter.
Fuck there are so many god damn good underground bands! Listen to Bastard Grave from Sweden or Division Speed from Leipzig. I could do this for hours....
15.Besides bands are their any good labels or distro's you could recommend to the readers? What about good fan or web-zines you like to read?
Haha of course our label Final Gate Records! There are some other good German labels like FDA Records, which simply has had a knack for picking awesome bands during the last few years as well as the rather new Testimony Records. I am actually not so much an internet guy and usually do not read any fan- or web-zines. Check out Timon Kokott Artwork who painted our Cover Artwork and our designed our shirts for instance.
16.Thank you Thorsten for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final words for the readers?
Thank you as well. I am not so much a guy for the famous last words though I like to have the final say. It might appear elegant to end with a quote. Some famous last words from Mr. Bukowski:
“‘I think I need a drink.’ ‘Almost everybody does only they don’t know it.’”

Interview with Acranius done by Patrick
1.Hello please introduce yourself to the readers and when did you start listening to brutal death metal?
Hi, I´m Björn, the guitarist of Acranius. First of all thanks a lot for the interview request…we really appreciate your interest in Acranius. I started listening to Brutal Death Metal in the age of 16 or 17 or so. I remember listening to the Waking The Cadaver Demo for the first time. This masterpiece blew me totally away and started the whole thing for me.
2.Who were some the first bands you listened to? And who are some of your current favorite bands in the scene today?
In the early days I enjoyed and still enjoy Abominable Putridity, Gorevent, Guttural Engorgement, Waking The Cadaver, Without Remorse, Pathology, Visceral Disgorge, Devourment, Cerebral Incubation, Ingested and other slammy stuff like that. But I really enjoyed straight death metal like Hour of Penance, Unmerciful, Inveracity, Disavowed and Severed Savior and some deathcore stuff like Oceano as well. My taste of music didn´t change that much so I´m still into this stuff and these are bands who influenced my style of writing music but I´m always listening to some good hip hop and hardcore as well.
In the moment I really dig the new stuff of Defeated Sanity, Jesus Piece, Shadow of Intent and Mass Infection. Really cool stuff you have to check if you´re into aggressive music!
3.When did you first meet the other members of the band and who chose the name of the band? Does it have a special meaning?
First of all I have to say that we started Acranius as a 2-man-outfit. My bassist Lars and me wrote the EP “The Echo Of Her Cracking Chest” and after the realese we searched for a singer and a drummer. The first rehearsel with a full line-up was in 2012 I guess. We had some changes in the line-up so we met Rob and Kevin of our current line-up 2,5 years ago.
I think Lars was coming along with the bandname in the beginning of Acranius and I was cool with the sound of the name and the meaning haha. An Acranius is a newborn without a cranial bone. LOL
4.Acranius is signed to Rising Nemesis Rec. the band has worked with this label for many years how did you all come in contact with this label?
Yeah I think we are one of the bands who are longest in the roster haha. The first contact was through the internet because Nasar wanted to sign us and the rest is history.
5.Acranius is getting ready to release their third full length Reign Of Terror does the whole band work on the music or does one member usually write everything?
Mostly I write all Acranius-Shit and so I did for the new record. Lol
6.Who usually takes care of writing the lyrics for the band and what are some subjects you all wrote about on Reign Of Terror?
For “Reign Of Terror” our old vocalist and good Friend Tomm wrote the lyrics because he´s still close connected with the band and is pretty talented in writing shit.
7.Besides the upcoming release Reign Of Terror does the band have any of the previous releases available for the readers to buy? Besides the physical releases does the band have any other merchandise available for the fans to buy?
For sure…check our online store or the store of our label and get some shit.
8.What have been some of the bands most memorable shows over the years?And who have been some of your most favorite bands to share the stage with?
One of the greatest experiences for me personally were Las Vegas Deathfest and Neurotic Deathfest in the Netherlands. But honestly I enjoy nearly every show because I can share some great moments with my best friends and this is something I´m really grateful for.
There were so many great bands we really enjoyed to share the stage with..to name some there are Cerebral Incubation, Ingested, Science Of Sleep, Mastication Of Brutality Uncontrolled, Candero, Carnal Decay, Slowly Rotten, Unfathomable Ruination, Euphoric Defilement, Iniquitious Deeds, Defeated Sanity and Unmerciful
9.Does Acranius have any upcoming shows or tours in support of the new release and if yes where are some countries the band will be playing?
We have some single shows for the future but nothing special and no tour so far planned. When you check our facebookpage you won´t miss anything.
10.Besides working and playing in Acranius do any of the other members currently play in any other bands if yes please tell the readers a little about them?
Kevin has another Project called Slowly Rotten. Check them out…lovely guys and great music. I have a pretty new project as well called Hang Em High. This is a hardcore/Stoner Project with friends of my hometown.
11.Acranius comes out of the brutal death metal scene in Germany what is your opinion of the German death metal scene?
The german death metal scene is pretty good I guess. There are a lot of great bands and friendly people. Next to the death metal we also enjoy to be in the beatdown and deathcore scene as well. We see the whole thing as a big family.
12.Who are your all-time favorite German bands and are their any new bands you feel the readers should check out soon?
Ufff this is a tough question but like I already named there are some great german bands like Candero, Mastication Of Brutality Uncontrolled, Slowly Rotten and Defeated Sanity…there are also some great beatdown bands like Abolisher, Spawn Of Disgust, Brawl Between Enemies,
13.Besides bands are their any honest and reliable labels or distro's you could recommend to the readers?
Hm I can´t really answer because I don´t have any contacts to other labels you know?! But I guess there are a lot of other great labels and distros!
14.When not working on new music or band business what do you like to do in your free time?
When I´m not doing any kind of music I do my studies haha. No no to be honest I enjoy the simple things like hanging with friends, raping my Netflix-account and riding my bike. My second passion is collecting sneakers.
15.Thank you for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final comments for the readers?
Thanks a lot for having me and keep an eye out for “Reign Of Terror” and keep supporting the underground. Cheers I´m out!

Interview with Wrath From Above done by Patrick
1.Hails! when did you two first meet and was it long before you all started the band? Who came up with Wrath From Above as the name for the band?
DM - Hails comrades ! Well, the first thing we can say is that the band does not have a regular history. At first Antar & me met by playing in the same Old School Death Metal Band (disbanded for the moment). But we kept contact as good friends and started having many other projects, along with our sound engineer, Korwent from Spearhead Sounds. One day, Antar was bored and said “Hey, doing Black Metal is easy as shit, I already made 4 songs, do somebody want to put vocals on an album ?” and so it began.
Antar - Yep, actually it was more because I got plenty of time due to my unemployment and I composed really quickly one third of the album (with a track that didn't made it to the final tracklist maybe a bonus in perspective). In fact we began to take the project more seriously with the next batch of songs (better ones) but everything was pretty quick in terms of writing… the rest was really not that fast !
The name was waiting in my head for the right project and no, it was never thought as an homage to Immortal.
2.I believe Wrath From Above is a two man band have you ever thought of adding more members to play live shows or do you prefer to work as a two piece?
Antar - The fact that we are a two piece is not a choice in the first place, but finding competent musicians in our area that are free is a pain in the ass. Hopefully the first album will give us a bit of a reputation and we will have a real drummer for the next release. A session drummer or full time member, that we don't know yet, but future shows will depend on it. Bass on the album is played by a good friend living in a city near us so we just lack a good drummer and a second guitar (which is easy to find) for live settings.
3. The band is getting ready to release the debut cd "Beyond Ruthless Cold" how long did it take the band to write to the music on this release? And for the readers who have never heard Wrath From Above music how would you best describe the bands sound?
DM - To write the music, maybe 2 weeks. To record it, 1 week. To re-record wrong parts, mix and master it, maybe 9 months. Music is so unfair. Describe the band in a few words ? Relentless Satanic Frost Assault ? Marduk, Infernal War, and soviets fighting Satan.
Antar - Truth is above. Songs are not so complex, they are really straightforward. I like it but the project was never meant to go that far in the beginning. Next album will be the same in terms of violence but more technical, varied and personal (at least I will try to achieve that).
4.Who usually writes the lyrics for the music and what are some topics the band writes about?
DM - I wrote the lyrics. Classified as secret files. Some historic true stories about when the demons joined the nazis a few years ago, you don’t want to know more about it.
Antar - Exactly. In life some things are better kept secret. We have all lived some events that gives meaning to this idea.
5.Besides the debut cd "Beyond Ruthless Cold" does the band have any past demo's or other merchandise available for the readers?If yes where can the readers buy your merchandise?
DM - Not yet. For the moment, everything that could ever be released belong to Apathia Records.
Antar - We have just that one track that didn't made it to the record (first one written). It's weaker than the rest but we may give it as a bonus on bandcamp at some point.
6.I believe the band comes out of France's black,death metal scene what is your opinion of the metal scene in France?
Antar - There is a lot of band that we can be proud of in extreme metal (we listen mostly to all the genres under that name). Death metal, grindcore & blasting black metal (raw or polished it doesn't matter) for the most part. We just LACK THE AUDIENCE !
DM - By far too much serious posers. We live in Nantes and right there the Metal Scene is pretty strong and unified, but I used to live in Paris and it is absolutely devastating. Hipsters and stupid elitists Black Metalheads everywhere. We listen to Grindcore and Brutal Death before everything else, and the scene right here in France is in complete agony, the promoters are struggling as much as the new bands who do their best. We’ve got a shitload of awesome bands, but no recognition.
7.Who are your all-time favorite French bands and are their any new French bands you feel the readers should check out soon?
Antar - Many french bands are worth a listen, especially in black metal. To me it's probably the only genre where we have some top tier bands musically speaking. Of course DsO, Antaeus… go check Metal Archives, all this scene is more than 20 years now and is really incestuous.
DM - Hum… I really love the avant-garde, progressive and crazy Metal scene in France. My favorite French Metal Bands are by far Kalisia, SUP, Sortilège and Misanthrope. But we’ve got a really strong Black Metal scene, one of the most productive and intense in the world (Deathspell Omega, Blut Aus Nord, Antaeus, Penissatan...).
To recommend new French bands, I’m recently digging the new material from Pryapisme and öOoOoOoOoOo, and the new albums from our friends Red Dawn, Nullentropy or Regarde les Hommes Tomber are really worth a listen.
8.Besides bands are their any honest and reliable labels or distro's you could recommend to the readers?
DM - I used to order a lot on Comatose Music, Lavadome, Blast Head Records and Sevared Records when I was buying a ton of CDs per months. Now I usually order directly to bands via Bandcamp if I can because that’s how they get the better retribution, or buy in concerts / festivals.
Antar - I only buy Brutal Death Metal nowadays (raw and filthy one). Go check all the bands signed to New Standard Elite. Fuck fake drums in BDM.
9.In your opinion what does underground metal mean to the two of you?
Antar - It means that we are poor.
DM - Nothing. Willing to be underground is as ridiculous as willing to be mainstream. Working hard should be rewarded, and not giving a shit is the best way of life ever.
10.Other then working in Wrath From Above do you currently play in any other bands or solo projects?
DM - Yeah. So much projects. We have many other albums pending with Antar and Korwent. Right now I’m playing in like… 5 or 6 bands. I’m doing the vocals with Helioss, a Melodic Death/Black project who will release its 3rd album March 24th, on Apathia Records too, and you should really check it.
Both of us are also playing in Gastropode, a full bass Goregrind act with no guitars, just a HM-2 Bass and 4 singers, and we released and album a few months ago, buy it please, we need moula.
I made a song with the Polish Dead Bread, and have an Old School Death Metal album to be released in the year with a dude from Egypt. And secret bullshit projects you don’t want to hear about (Paupiettes).
Antar - Actually I played, and will play, with friends in a lot of shitty projects too bad to mention (if curious go visit Garbage Tuesday Records facebook page or bandcamp). I'm also starting an ultra serious goregrind label called “One Shot One Kill Records”, where we will release album limited to one only copy (ever).
For the serious side hail Korwent from Spearhead Sounds that brought me a more professional approach and confidence about my music, so that my two first albums from different projects are both signed on competent labels. Lot of projects with this dude, in about every style I love, are incoming.
11.When not working on new music or band business what do you like to do in your free time?
DM - Smoke crack, fuck bitches and suck dicks in festivals.
Antar - Snort speed. Listen to blastbeats over whatever riffs.
12.Thank you for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final words for the readers?
DM - We despise you, but thanks anyway.
Antar - Time will come when you'll have to choose which side of the hammer & the sickle you are. Be prepared.
Here is a new interview with the French barbaric blackend death metal band "Wrath From Above" who are getting ready to release their debut "Beyond Ruthless Cold" through the label Apathia Rec.So if you are a fan of mid 90's blackend death metal that is well executed and played with violent music then be sure to read this in-depth interview and buy the bands debut.

Interview with Wrath From Above done by Patrick
1.Hails! when did you two first meet and was it long before you all started the band? Who came up with Wrath From Above as the name for the band?
DM - Hails comrades ! Well, the first thing we can say is that the band does not have a regular history. At first Antar & me met by playing in the same Old School Death Metal Band (disbanded for the moment). But we kept contact as good friends and started having many other projects, along with our sound engineer, Korwent from Spearhead Sounds. One day, Antar was bored and said “Hey, doing Black Metal is easy as shit, I already made 4 songs, do somebody want to put vocals on an album ?” and so it began.
Antar - Yep, actually it was more because I got plenty of time due to my unemployment and I composed really quickly one third of the album (with a track that didn't made it to the final tracklist maybe a bonus in perspective). In fact we began to take the project more seriously with the next batch of songs (better ones) but everything was pretty quick in terms of writing… the rest was really not that fast !
The name was waiting in my head for the right project and no, it was never thought as an homage to Immortal.
2.I believe Wrath From Above is a two man band have you ever thought of adding more members to play live shows or do you prefer to work as a two piece?
Antar - The fact that we are a two piece is not a choice in the first place, but finding competent musicians in our area that are free is a pain in the ass. Hopefully the first album will give us a bit of a reputation and we will have a real drummer for the next release. A session drummer or full time member, that we don't know yet, but future shows will depend on it. Bass on the album is played by a good friend living in a city near us so we just lack a good drummer and a second guitar (which is easy to find) for live settings.
3. The band is getting ready to release the debut cd "Beyond Ruthless Cold" how long did it take the band to write to the music on this release? And for the readers who have never heard Wrath From Above music how would you best describe the bands sound?
DM - To write the music, maybe 2 weeks. To record it, 1 week. To re-record wrong parts, mix and master it, maybe 9 months. Music is so unfair. Describe the band in a few words ? Relentless Satanic Frost Assault ? Marduk, Infernal War, and soviets fighting Satan.
Antar - Truth is above. Songs are not so complex, they are really straightforward. I like it but the project was never meant to go that far in the beginning. Next album will be the same in terms of violence but more technical, varied and personal (at least I will try to achieve that).
4.Who usually writes the lyrics for the music and what are some topics the band writes about?
DM - I wrote the lyrics. Classified as secret files. Some historic true stories about when the demons joined the nazis a few years ago, you don’t want to know more about it.
Antar - Exactly. In life some things are better kept secret. We have all lived some events that gives meaning to this idea.
5.Besides the debut cd "Beyond Ruthless Cold" does the band have any past demo's or other merchandise available for the readers?If yes where can the readers buy your merchandise?
DM - Not yet. For the moment, everything that could ever be released belong to Apathia Records.
Antar - We have just that one track that didn't made it to the record (first one written). It's weaker than the rest but we may give it as a bonus on bandcamp at some point.
6.I believe the band comes out of France's black,death metal scene what is your opinion of the metal scene in France?
Antar - There is a lot of band that we can be proud of in extreme metal (we listen mostly to all the genres under that name). Death metal, grindcore & blasting black metal (raw or polished it doesn't matter) for the most part. We just LACK THE AUDIENCE !
DM - By far too much serious posers. We live in Nantes and right there the Metal Scene is pretty strong and unified, but I used to live in Paris and it is absolutely devastating. Hipsters and stupid elitists Black Metalheads everywhere. We listen to Grindcore and Brutal Death before everything else, and the scene right here in France is in complete agony, the promoters are struggling as much as the new bands who do their best. We’ve got a shitload of awesome bands, but no recognition.
7.Who are your all-time favorite French bands and are their any new French bands you feel the readers should check out soon?
Antar - Many french bands are worth a listen, especially in black metal. To me it's probably the only genre where we have some top tier bands musically speaking. Of course DsO, Antaeus… go check Metal Archives, all this scene is more than 20 years now and is really incestuous.

We, being Grafvitnir, consists of three individuals that have joined forces to express our admiration and love for the kingdom Beyond.
We simply needed a vessel to express ourselves and the forces that work through us.
The name Grafvitnir is the name of one of the countless serpents that resides under the world tree Yggdrasil in Norse mythology. We thought it would be a suitable name as we are deeply entangled in the serpentine forces of Sitra Ahra and also hails from Scandinavia.
2. Grafvitnir is getting ready to release their fourth cd "Obeisance To A Witch Moon" how long did it take the band to write the music for this release? And does the whole band work on the music or does one member usually write everything?
The recording of this one was the quickest one up to date actually. It took a couple of weeks, both composing and recording. We create lyrics and music altogether as a unit, it just comes naturally to us. But I might add that that varies a lot, from song to song and album to album.

6. Who are some occultist you read and study? Besides occult subjects do you study any other subjects if yes what do you study?

Other subjects we study are string theory and quantum physics and personally I like to read about psychiatry, psychology, hypnotism and pretty much everything concerning the human psyche really.
7. What does black metal mean to you?
Aggressive and/or atmospheric music with dark and/or occult lyrics. There's got to be a sinister touch and vibe to it. The idealization of Black Metal would be tunes that sucks the listener into realms of desolation and fathomless paradoxical revelations, where time (as we know it) has ceased to be (or never was).
8. Does Grafvitnir play live very often or do you prefer working in the studio? What have been some ofGrafvitnir's most memorable shows?
We actually have never played live, as of yet. Perhaps we never will, that remains to be seen.

Interview with Manuel drummer of Centrate done by Patrick
1.Hello Manuel how are things going in Germany these days for you? Please introduce yourself to the readers?
Hey guys! I´m Manu, the drummer of the German thrasher "Centrate". We just released our new Album "Ritual". We do everything by ourselves, so I´m actually very busy to promote and sell our new album. It's a lot of work, but it´s very cool to get in touch with many different people.
2.At what age did you become interested in playing the drums and are you self taught or did you take lessons when first starting out?
At school I had a very cool music teacher. He teached me some grooves at the drums, so that I was infected:-) He supported me and I became a part of the school-band.
My parents supported me, too. They bought me a drumkit and spend me drum-lessons. The first years I took drum-lessons to learn the basics.
3.Who are some of your influences and favorite drummers? Besides drums do you play any other instruments if yes what instruments do you play?
Unfortunately, I play drums and percussions only.
My influences aren´t in metal only, but my favorite drummers are most metal drummers.
Actually I like the drumming of Pete Webber (Havok), Gene Hoglan (Testament) and Mario Duplantier (Gojira).
Beyond metal I´m fascinated by Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), Carter Beauford (Dave Matthews Band) and Neil Peart (Rush).
4. Manuel when did you first meet the other members of the band ?And who chose the name Centrate as the band name?
The band was formed in 2010. At this time I searched musicans to form a band. A friend of mine introduced me Niki and we talked about the idea of a band. Niki get Marcel with him in the band as bass player. After that we were looking for a second guitar player and Chris got in. At this time Niki played guitar and did the vocals as well. After a while Tobi joined the band to support them at the guitar, so that Niki could concentrate on the vocals only.
The name Centrate is an artificial word that's out of centre of hate. This was the result of a brainstorming and it shall reflect the wrath of thrash metal.
5.What is the current line-up of the band?And for the readers who have never heard Centrate's music how would you best describe it?
Centrate are:
Niki – Vocals
Tobi – Rhythm and Lead Guitars
Christ- Rhythm Guitars
Marcel- Bass
Manu: Drums and Percussion
We play Thrash Metal with influences of the 80's Bay Area. But we try to mix it with modern parts and our own style.
6.Centrate is getting ready to release their debut full length "Ritual" I believe this will be a digital release are their plans for a physical release soon? Where can the readers find and buy the debut?
You can order "Ritual" physically by us. Just write us via Facebook, on our Homepage or a E-mail (centrate@gmx.de). You can download or stream "Ritual" via Amazon, ITunes, Deezer, Spotify etc as well.
7.How long did it take the band to write the music on "Ritual"? Does the whole band work on the music or does one member usually write everything?
Most of the songs we written in the first half of 2016. All our songs were formed in our rehearsal room by the whole band. Most of the time Tobi (Git.) came with a riff idea and then we work with this idea to form a song.
8.Who usually writes the lyrics for the music and what are some topics you write about?
Our singer Niki wrote all of our lyrics for that record. Ritual is themed about different types of rituals, homicide and evil things. For example: Voodoo is about a ritual to curse someone. Ritual is thematically about a ritual that went wrong and evoke satan.. On "Revenge" a monk feels oppressed by his confidence and take revenge for that.
9.Also the band self-released the debut will the band look for a label to work with in the future or do you all prefer to self-release your music?Besides the debut release does the band have any other merchandise available for the readers if yes what is available and where can the readers buy it?
We had some label offers, but we decided to release “Ritual” by ourselves. But we're looking forward to work with a label in the future.
Beside “Ritual” you can order our EP “Tiger Force”, patches and two different shirt designs. We do everything by ourselves. You can order the stuff via our Homepage, Facebook or E-mail as well.
10.Does Centrate get to play live very often if yes what have been some of the bands most memorable shows to date?
We try to play as much as we can, but as a small band without a label or other bookers it´s hard to find a lot of shows.
One of the coolest gigs was our show at the M.I.S.E. Open Air 2016 with a lot of great bands. Another great experience was our first European Tour.
11.Are their any tours or shows planned for 2017 and if yes where will the band be playing?
In 2017 we are very happy to play at the Metal Franconia Festival with bands like Legion of the Damned and Ektomorf. Beside this we actually announced for a few more club and festival shows. There is nothing planned for a tour. But we hope to play a tour this or next year.
12.Manuel in your opinion what is the best and worst thing about the underground scene? And in your opinion what does underground metal mean to you?
It's a difficult question....what is the underground scene? Where is the beginning and where the end of the underground scene?!
One of the best things is the solidarity between the bands, fans and the supporters. It´s sometimes like a big family.
The worst thing is the heavy way to spread your music. But: It´s a long way to the top if you wanna Rock ´n´Roll :-)
13.Besides thrash do you listen to any other forms of metal or music in general?
For shure! I´m a big music fan. I always spend too much money for new CD´s and LP´s...
I´m interested in many different kinds of metal (Thrash, Death, Heavy, Modern...) but sometimes I also listen to other genre of music like Classic Rock, Blues, Ska, Rap and so on.
14. Centrate comes out of the German thrash metal scene what is your opinion of the German metal scene?
Germany has got a great thrash scene since the 80´s. Sodom, Kreator, Destruction and Tankard leading the scene, but in the last few years new young bands come up and they shaking the "German" thrash scene as well.
15.Who are some favorite German band and are their any new bands you feel the readers should check out soon?
We´ve got a lot of great new bands in Germany. For example Dust Bolt and Pripjat. Both bands are playing on a high level and play great live shows. Check them out!
16.Besides bands are their any good labels or distro's you could recommend to the readers?What about fan or web-zines are their any that you keep up with?
Check out our friends and supporters of undergrounded.de! They spend their blood, sweat and beers for the underground metal scene.
17.When not working on new music or band business what do you enjoy doing in your free time?
I love to do downhill and endurobiking with my friends and visit festivals and concerts.
18.Thank you Manuel for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final comments for the readers?
Thanks for the questions!
Visit concerts, support local bands and the underground!
Cheers, Manu

Interview with Nekro Drunkz done by Patrick
1.Hello please introduce yourself to the readers? When did you first get into metal music and who were some of the first
bands you listened to?
Hello all perverts out there, Disgustor666 reporting to you live from the farthest depths of septic hell!!! Metal music gives me the Hershey squirts, I'll tell you about that instead. First time I got diarrhea was when I was just a young lad, very smelly! Shot out at 666 mph I reckon, but you can follow up with Guinness book of world records about that! Slayer, Mentors, Impetigo, Anal Cunt, D.R.I., Nunslaughter Were some of the first bands that shaped my young warped mind.
2.Nekro Drunkz was formed in 2007 what gave you two the
idea to start this band?And how did you come up with the
name Nekro Drunkz?
Disgustor: Crystal Seth (guitars/vocal puking) and I were underage drinking even before the band was formed. Only death, metal, and booze is real!!! The idea to start the band came from alcohol and weed altering our young minds, we were total deliquents! Originally we were thinking of calling the band "Menstruating Zombie", which is a great name I still think. But, somehow settled on Nekro Drunkz. It's a fukked up and dumb name, but still better than most names that newer bands choose! The real question is why the Piss did we spell the band with a Z at the end?!?! Fukk you!!!! That's why!!!! Drink a glass of pizz!!!!
3.What is the current line-up of the band? For the readers who have never heard Nekro Drunkz's music how would you describe the band's music?
We listen to tons of other shit frequently, Lately for me: Saint Vitus(Reagers albums), Blizzard- "Pure Filth and Mayhem" , Vulcano(Live and Bloody Vengeance), Funebre demos, Unbounded Terror - "Nest of Affliction" , Splattereah (All, fukk you Sal!), Sadokist (Finland, all), Maggoty Corpse (Japan, all), Crysys - "Hard as Rock" , Accidental Suicide - "Deceased", Grand Belials Key.... on and on! Go Shiiiiiiiiiiit yourself!!!!! Have you finished that glass of Piss yet ?!!! If yes have another, if no jump off a cliff!5.Nekro Drunkz is getting ready to release their fourth release "Lavatory Carnage" how long did it take to write the music for this release?Do you both work on writing the music
or does one member usually do everything?
Disgustor: Its our third album, we've had a lot of other releases, some people have mistaken one live release for an album. But "Lavatory Carnage" is our 3rd full length album. We wrote it pretty quick, only a couple months. We just huff some Jenkem that The Weregoat guys have left over, and then Piss in the 5 satanic corners of our friend Mason's bar, Rose City Strip. That's how we write most of our songs. Some times a song will come to me mid-bang and I have to write the drum parts on my woman's butt cheeks!
6. "Lavatory Carnage" is the bands newest release are any of Nekro Drunkz past releases still available besides releases does the band have any other merchandise available for the
readers? If yes where can the readers buy your merchandise?
9.What does underground metal mean to you?
Disgustor: Everything. There is only metal and it is invincible! Hopefully in another 5 or so years all the new comers who aren't really into metal will be weeded out and the strong will remain. Fukk off to promoters and phonies who are trying to gain fame and fortune for themselves, and not take care of the bands. That's not what it's about! Thanks to all those who are insane enough to take time out of their lives to book shows , go to shows , do artwork, do a fanzine, or anything to keep the underground moving.

Interview with Nekro Drunkz done by Patrick
1.Hello please introduce yourself to the readers? When did you first get into metal music and who were some of the first
bands you listened to?
Hello all perverts out there, Disgustor666 reporting to you live from the farthest depths of septic hell!!! Metal music gives me the Hershey squirts, I'll tell you about that instead. First time I got diarrhea was when I was just a young lad, very smelly! Shot out at 666 mph I reckon, but you can follow up with Guinness book of world records about that! Slayer, Mentors, Impetigo, Anal Cunt, D.R.I., Nunslaughter Were some of the first bands that shaped my young warped mind.
2.Nekro Drunkz was formed in 2007 what gave you two the
idea to start this band?And how did you come up with the
name Nekro Drunkz?
Disgustor: Crystal Seth (guitars/vocal puking) and I were underage drinking even before the band was formed. Only death, metal, and booze is real!!! The idea to start the band came from alcohol and weed altering our young minds, we were total deliquents! Originally we were thinking of calling the band "Menstruating Zombie", which is a great name I still think. But, somehow settled on Nekro Drunkz. It's a fukked up and dumb name, but still better than most names that newer bands choose! The real question is why the Piss did we spell the band with a Z at the end?!?! Fukk you!!!! That's why!!!! Drink a glass of pizz!!!!
3.What is the current line-up of the band? For the readers who have never heard Nekro Drunkz's music how would you describe the band's music?
Disgustor: My dumb self of course and the man you should all fear(hell, I'm scared of this cunt myself, I saw him eat a bowl of metal shavings and shredded maxi-pad bits just last week), Crystal Seth. Two piece only, no bass Bologna!!! Coming to a town near you to decimate your waste water treatment plant, and cause utter septic terror for your community!!! Eat a frozen turd in the meantime!! So... you wanna know about the music huh? In our fukked up world only the strong and the sleazy survive! Nekro Drunkz exclusively play perverted death thrashing grind! Stick your head in a Fukkin airplane toilet and hit flush, we sound kinda like that!
4.The band seems to draw influences from brutal death,grind and
even some thrash elements who are some of Nekro Drunkz
biggest influences?

biggest influences?
Disgustor: Pornographic scenarios and Toilet activities first and foremost. Quite important! Music wise: Anal Cunt, Schnauzer , Nunslaughter , Impetigo, Autopsy, Macabre, Dead Infection, DRI , Mentors, Slayer, Meat Shits, Fornicator, Repulsion, Conqueror, Razor, Anal Blast, Pungent Stench, Gut, Inhume, Twisted Sister, Impaled Nazarene, Mortician.
We listen to tons of other shit frequently, Lately for me: Saint Vitus(Reagers albums), Blizzard- "Pure Filth and Mayhem" , Vulcano(Live and Bloody Vengeance), Funebre demos, Unbounded Terror - "Nest of Affliction" , Splattereah (All, fukk you Sal!), Sadokist (Finland, all), Maggoty Corpse (Japan, all), Crysys - "Hard as Rock" , Accidental Suicide - "Deceased", Grand Belials Key.... on and on! Go Shiiiiiiiiiiit yourself!!!!! Have you finished that glass of Piss yet ?!!! If yes have another, if no jump off a cliff!5.Nekro Drunkz is getting ready to release their fourth release "Lavatory Carnage" how long did it take to write the music for this release?Do you both work on writing the music
or does one member usually do everything?
Disgustor: Its our third album, we've had a lot of other releases, some people have mistaken one live release for an album. But "Lavatory Carnage" is our 3rd full length album. We wrote it pretty quick, only a couple months. We just huff some Jenkem that The Weregoat guys have left over, and then Piss in the 5 satanic corners of our friend Mason's bar, Rose City Strip. That's how we write most of our songs. Some times a song will come to me mid-bang and I have to write the drum parts on my woman's butt cheeks!
6. "Lavatory Carnage" is the bands newest release are any of Nekro Drunkz past releases still available besides releases does the band have any other merchandise available for the
readers? If yes where can the readers buy your merchandise?
Disgustor: Our 1st album is sold out. Our 2nd album is still available from Moribund Records. Cassette version and full color t-shirts of "Lavatory Carnage" are available now from www.headsplitrecords.storenvy.com . We have some other limited releases that you can find in some distros if you decided to use those urine encrusted eyeballs of yours !!
7.I believe Nekro Drunkz's is a two man band have you guys thought of adding more members to make a full line-up or do you prefer working as a two piece?
Disgustor: if we added another member, they wouldn't last! They would likely die. They'd have to pass rigorous testing and learn all 200 of our songs!! Who would want to do that?! We don't even want to be playing this music ourselves, but we are funded financially and under contract by a sinister hidden terrorist group from the Middle East.
8.Besides working in Nekro Drunkz are you all working with any other bands or projects?
Disgustor: Seth and I also play in Cemetery Lust and are recording our 3rd album late 2017. For fans of extreme blasting death thrash!!! Seth also plays in Torture Rack, which is hands down the most brutal band in the area, and they could hold their own against any big time band, musically or in a fight. I'm 100% positive of that!!

9.What does underground metal mean to you?
Disgustor: Everything. There is only metal and it is invincible! Hopefully in another 5 or so years all the new comers who aren't really into metal will be weeded out and the strong will remain. Fukk off to promoters and phonies who are trying to gain fame and fortune for themselves, and not take care of the bands. That's not what it's about! Thanks to all those who are insane enough to take time out of their lives to book shows , go to shows , do artwork, do a fanzine, or anything to keep the underground moving. Don't give an inch to those PC political wimps either! Do what you want, when you want! Metal is and has always been extreme, so, don't ever stop the insanity, filth, and violence!!
10.When not working on new music or band business what do
you enjoy doing in your free time?
Disgustor: Sex and Booze! Jack my dangling knob all over the place! Listen to metal music. Singe my ball hair over a ceremonial flame. Clip my yellow toenails and leave them in people's mail boxes. Take dumps at work so I get paid for em. Check out different portable toilets around town to see what kinda treats I can find. Pee in soap dispensers.
11.Thank you for taking the time to fill this interview out
do you have any final comments for the readers?
Disgustor: wash your hair with Piss and buy our new album from Moribund records! Eat a pussy everyday or jump off a building or both, the choice is yours, stand up for your right!! If your unfortunate enough to consider yourself a fan of ours, get in touch we have plenty of limited posters and stickers and shit that we send in there mail, the old school way!! Also, we are recording some new songs for an upcoming release on 7". Should be out in early 2017 so keep your brown eyes peeled, and throw some salt in there for good measure!!!!
