Interview  with  R.  vocalist  and  all  instruments   for  The  Howling  Void   done  by  Patrick

1.Hello  R.   how  are  things  going  with you  these days? Please  introduce  yourself  to  the  readers?

Things are going alright; neither good nor bad, which is just fine with me. My name is R. and I'm the sole member of The Howling Void. I've been writing and releasing strange music for various projects for about the last sixteen years or so.


2.When  did you  first  get the  idea  to  form The Howling  Void  and  how  did you  decide  on  the  band  name?

The idea to blend dark and crawling funeral doom with ethereal choir and string synths probably originated when I first heard Emperor's "In the Nightside Eclipse" a long time ago. I was moved very profoundly by the orchestration of that album and at that point I knew that I wanted to blend darkness and light in the same way, so to speak. The name of the band can refer to many things, but it refers primarily to the pre-natal and post-mortal darkness that lies on either side of our brief, fleeting lives.



3.The  Howling  Void    is  getting ready to  release  the band's  fifth  cd  "The  Triumph Of  Ruin"  How  long  did  it take  you to  write  and record the  songs  on the  new  cd?


 I was actually quite fortunate to be struck by a kind of surge of inspiration when I wrote "The Triumph of Ruin", and I think the entire process from writing to recording took about a month. Past albums have taken significantly longer, usually due to recurring bouts of writers' block. Before the inspiration hit for this album, in fact, I had spent several months trying and failing to come up with new ideas for the project, but suddenly the inspiration hit and I scrambled madly to get it all written down.




4.Which  usually  comes  first the  music  or the  lyrics.  And  what  are  some   subjects  you  explore   on "The  Triumph Of  Ruin"?


The music always comes first, but the music itself is always inspired by imagery, either mental or visual. I usually envision landscapes of one sort or another, and then try to write music that "takes me there". The lyrical subjects on this latest album all revolve around the idea of cycles and eternal return. The title of the album is actually loaded with a few meanings that relate to this. Namely, the triumph of ruin is the fact that everything dies and everything is temporary, no matter how vital it may be right now. However, ruin and death are not absolute endings but rather the catalyst for new life and new beginnings. Thus, the "triumph" of ruin is actually kind of ironic, because ruin doesn't really win out: it only leads to more life. But if you dislike life, well, there really isn't any good news there.


5.This  is   The  Howling  Void's  fifth  release  how  do  you  feel  the   music  has  evolved  over the years?

Personally I think that every album has a very different sound, but I know most people think all of my albums sound the same. The greatest evolution of my sound started with the "Runa" EP where I tossed the growls and started working themes from traditional Celtic/Germanic folk music into the compositions. I feel like "The Triumph of Ruin" represents the sound that this project has always been evolving towards.


6.Besides  the  new  release   "The  Triumph Of  Ruin"   do you  currently  have  any  of the  past  releases  or  any other  merchandise  available  for the  readers? And  if  yes  where can the readers  buy  it?

All of my releases are available digitally on my bandcamp site (http://thehowlingvoid.bandcamp.com) but physical copies are available from the labels and from various distros around the world. For the latest album I would recommend going straight to Avantgarde Music and ordering the digipak from them. The artwork came out beautifully.




7.Have  you  ever  had  the  interest  to  make  a  video  for  any  of your  songs?  If you  could  do  a  video  of one  of the  new songs  which  song  would  you   like to  see  made  into  a  video?

I don't have a lot of interest in making videos, but that's mainly because I haven't spent much time thinking about it. I suppose that a video could possibly create a more memorable or moving experience for a certain song, but I would need someone who is more visually oriented than I am to make all of that happen. I just write music; I sometimes struggle to explain or express myself verbally or visually, so I do it all through music. I think that "Where Once A River Flowed" could possibly benefit from such an arrangement.



8.Have   you  ever thought  of  adding   more   members to   The  Howling  Void  or  do  you   prefer  to  work  alone?

I always prefer to work alone due to my generally reclusive nature. I wouldn't mind playing live at some point, in which case I have several musicians lined up to become the live version of The Howling Void. Sadly, though, the opportunity just hasn't presented itself yet.


9.If you   had the   opportunity  to  work  with  any  musicians{past  or  present}  who  would  you   like  to  work  with?

That's a difficult question to answer because there are so many possible answers. I'd rather not name living musicians because they would probably be embarrassed to be mentioned in the same sentence as a nobody like me, but as for the dead? Giacinto Scelsi. I would love to have been able to watch him compose.



10.Besides   The  Howling  Void   are  you  currently  working  with  any  other  bands?


Yes, I'm constantly writing music for several different projects at once. Lately I've been writing material for Pneuma Hagion, which is an ominous black/death metal project of mine which recently released a demo cassette on Nuclear War Now! Productions. In addition, I have kept busy lately writing new stuff for a few other projects such as Serpentine Tunnels and Intestinal Disgorge.


11.     R.   you   handle   the  vocals  for the  band  when  did you   first  become  interested  in  singing?  Do  you  do  anything  special  to   keep  your  throat  and voice  healthy?

I've never considered myself to be a singer, but I recently fell in love with the sound of gregorian chants and, really, any chant-oriented music. I wanted to try and capture the hypnotic atmosphere created by those types of vocals and add it to the sound of The Howling Void. I don't do anything to keep my voice and throat healthy, which is a shame because over the past twenty years or so I have done lots of damage to my voice (it goes out quickly when I scream and growl these days). The strain on my voice is probably a contributing factor to why I've tried to rely more heavily on singing/chanting than screaming.


12.You  also   handle  all the  instruments  when  did you  first  start  playing  music?  What  were the  first  instruments  you   learned  to  play?


My first instrument was the drum kit, which I picked up in elementary school. I took a few lessons and enrolled in the percussion section of my middle school band, but that is the extent of my formal training. Also in middle school I picked up my brother's guitar and taught myself to play it. I did the same with the bass and the piano later on. I'm pretty much an autodidact when it comes to music, which has both advantages and disadvantages.



13.Are  their   any  instruments  you  would  like to   learn  to  play  someday?

Too many to name. I'd love to learn to play all instruments if I could.



14.When  not  writing  new  music  or  working  on  band  business  what  do  you  enjoy  doing  in  your  free  time?



 I spend the majority of my time working and writing music. So, if I'm not at work or writing music, you can usually find me reading a book. I'm very reclusive and have had very little contact with the outside world in recent years, so reading is usually what I do to pass the time.



15.Thank  you     R.    for  taking  the  time  to  fill  this  interview  out.  Do  you   have   any  final  words  for the  readers?

Thank you for the interview; I'm always honored to be considered. I would also like to thank the readers for taking the time to read this interview, and if they are interested in my music I would encourage them to visit my bandcamp page. I hope that they find something meaningful in my compositions.

Interview  with  Humanitas  Error  Est.   done  by   Patrick




1. Hails! When did you get the idea to form Humanitas Error Est? How did you all decide on the name of the band?

S Caedes: Hailz to you, Patrick! Well, the idea already raised up in middle of 2012, but it was hard, just impossible, to find the right musicians, who share the same point of views and who want to walk the same way with you: straight forward. I've such a hatred against humanity and all these religions. I'm disgusted by people who are just weak, who are not able to take responsibility for their life. Who are always just complaining about bullshit, who are destroying our nature. And I felt more and more the very need to express myself, all my aggression in music. Gradually I had the idea to have a male-vocalist on my side, to have more vocal variations. In July 2013 Ahephaïm and me finally get in contact with Ghoul. We meet up to talk about, what the band should be about, and it was quickly clear, that with him we found our second vocalist.


Ahephaïm: After that, it was the typical search/fight to find the further right musicians, every band knows. But we wanted also to be sure that everyone of them fits with the ideas behind the band as for the music. We needed more than one year to have this actual line-up. 





2. What is the current line-up of the band? For the readers who have never heard  Humanitas Error Est, how would you best describe it?

S Caedes: Well, we have me and Ghoul on the vocals, Ahephaïm on the drums. We have two guitarists, Tsar and Void114 – and our bassist Rogan. 


Ahephaïm: For me, Humanitas Error Est is just the sum of our brutal energies staged in music, spontaneously. We don’t need to think too much about, it just flows out and give the result you can hear on “Human Pathomorphism”.


Ghoul: Straight and aggressive Black Metal, that's what we stand for. But we also want to look beyond our own noses, we don't want to sound monotonous. All of us have different influences and we try to combine it the best way.


3. Humanitas Error Est released the debut album "Human Pathomorphism" through Satanath Rec, Abstruse Eerie Radiance and Black Plague Rec. How did you all come in contact with these labels?


Ahephaim: During our mini tour in Belgium in July 2015 we met the guys from the band Zardens who asked us if we already have an album,and  a label, … As the album was not ready at this moment, we also didn’t had any label and he advice me to contact Satanath Records. The interest for Humanitas Error Est was more than obvious and he even talked about it with partner labels who were also interested to take part in this release. Our interest was to cover Asia through Satanath Records in Russia, America with Black Plague and The True Plague in USA and Europe through the Belgian label Abstruse Eerie Radiance. 




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


Ahephaim: Basicaly, I wrote the songs with Tsar, working together with his riffs and my rhythm ideas, establishing structures. After that, the two singers can work on their text and their vocal lines. Nothing really special I guess. The songs were quickly written as I told you we made it quite  spontaneous to keep it as wild and honest as possible but I couldn’t tell you exactly a number of months.






5. Who usually takes care of the lyrics for the songs? What are some topics the band writes about?

S Caedes: Ghoul and myself. Our crucial point is the human being itself. Our common denominator is hate, aggression against mankind and the experiences we made in our life. We both are individual characters, but we share our point of view about humanity and religions. And this is the main topic in our lyrics. Ghoul is writing often more between the lines, more subtile. I prefer the brutish, the rude way. Using also a lot of sadistic content in my lyrics – that's just the way how I am. We write about the stupidity of believing in gods, about the weakness of people out there, taking responsibility for their life, about the sadism which is lurking in everyone of us, the evil within. But also some sexual content like necrophilia and other perverted, deviant stuff.


Ghoul: We share the lyrics. When the structure of a song is ready, most of the time we directly feel, who of us will write the lyrics for this song. We never had problems with this. It's a good team-work. And for the topics… let's say it like this: humanity is an all destroying species which is gorging till death. Humans don't care about the destruction of mother earth. Humanity is just a virus, nothing more, nothing less. And just because weak people are praying to god, doesn't mean, that they're better humans. Everyone is his own god. Some of us understand, most of us don't.



6. Besides the debut cd "Human Pathomorphism" does the band have any other merchandise available for the fans? If yes where can the readers buy it from?


S Caedes: For the moment we have Shirts and Tanks with simply our logo and the chaos star on the back. But in a few weeks we will have new designs available (Shirts, Zipper, Hoodies, Girlies and Tanks – also in different colors). We made a cooperation with Phil Robinson (Níðhöggr Studio). As I really like his work and I'm in contact with him for a longer time, I asked my band mates, if they are interested that he creates a special design for us – they were, so we just made it. And the result is just awesome! All is ready to be printed now. Soon as our new merch is available, we will announce it on our website and Facebook. If you want to order, just drop us a line by mail or Facebook.




7. Does Humanitas Error Est get to play live very often or do you prefer to work in the studio? What have been some of your most memorable shows to date?


S Caedes: Ha, easy thing: live! We all just love being on stage, unleash our hatred! This is exactly what we want to do.  Memorable shows… I can name our gig in Switzerland, the Night Of Blasphemy -  this was just an amazing moment. The audience was a 100% with us, and when you get such a feedback, you really know it's better being on stage then in studio! And also the In Flammen Festival – really great feeling to be part of this known festival, specially under the aspect that we only published one demo-song at this time. But you know, every gig is important. Even if it's in a little location, we're there to unleash hell on stage, and that's exactly what we're doing. No matter if we play in front of 500 or 50 people!


Ghoul: My favorites till now were Club From Hell (Erfurt/Germany) and also the Night Of Blasphemy in Olten, Switzerland. The audience was damned great, we really felt that they were there to enjoy a Black Metal gig. It was an amazing atmosphere.


Ahephaim: Live is where Humanitas Error Est makes sense. You can arrange a lot of stuff in studio, but you can’t lie in front of an audience and we like to show that we really mean what you can hear on “Human Pathomorphism” but in an even more brutal and raw way. I join my colleagues about their choice of the best live experience with Humanitas Error Est at this day.





8. Are there any upcoming shows or small tours the readers should watch out for? Where are some places the band will be playing?


S Caedes: Yeah, we have some great gigs planned. Two of my favorites, which I'm really looking forward to, are on the one hand the Radiant Art Festival in Belgium, on the 9th July 2016 and on the other hand the Autumn Souls Of Sofia Festival in Bulgaria, on the 14th October 2016. In Belgium, Ahephaim and myself will play also with Lebenssucht, our second band. Being on stage two times will be a hard thing, but also a very great experience. Besides this we both also will expose some art (photographies) of us, so we are able to express our emotions in two different ways, what is  absolutely amazing.


Ahephaim: To watch out all our gigs, fans can just have a look on our website or at the tour-section on our facebook-bandsite. Soon we will announce some more gigs for 2016 as for 2017.



9. Humanitas Error Est recently made a video for the song Raping Religions. How long did it take the band to make this video?


S Caedes: Oh, not that long. For „Raping Religions“ we just used some live-material from our gig we had in March 2015 in Erfurt, Club From Hell. Our guitarist Tsar was editing the video… I guess he finalized it within few days.



10. Besides Raping Religions are there plans to make any new videos of the debut? If you could is  there a song you would like seen made into a video?


Ahephaim: Indeed, I’m working on the edition of an official video for the song “Pain Feeder”. It took a bit more time than expected due to my other activities but it should be released in the next weeks if all goes well.




11. Humanitas Error Est comes out of the German black metal scene. What is your opinion of Germany's black metal scene?


Ahephaim: Germany is the metal country by excellence, with all its festivals, labels, … so the scene is very developed. The mainstream scene as the underground one. In the black metal scene you find a lot of great stuff like also pretty shitty releases. When I’m interested into a musical genre, the origin of the band is just an information amongst other and I guess it’s not that important. Only to understand some of their ideas, concepts maybe. Concerning gigs and lifestyle in the German black metal scene, it’s like a big family with sometimes little fights between some members of this family but in general it’s quiet a comfortable scene. The biggest problem is with politics mixed in the music. A lot of press people, labels, and also band members are really concentrated into checking if this band or this band has links with Nazi ideas, … instead of first put a hear on the music. As a Belgian guy living in Germany since only few years, I found this quiet shocking how this subject is leading into fights and problems, even for bands like us, who have nothing to do with political ideas.





12. Who are your all-time favorite German bands? Are there any new German bands you feel the readers should watch out for soon?

S Caedes: Honestly I give a fuck about, if a band is German or not, I'm only interested in the music, if the music can kick my mind. But ok… to name some... one of my first Black metal Cd's I bought was from Dunkelgrafen, which I also still like to listen today. Bands who were influencing me a lot are Anti and ColdWorld. And in addition I'm a big fan of Endstille, already for years.

Ahephaïm: There are a lot of great German bands; The Ruins Of Beverast, Endstille, Farsot, … but to be honest I’m hearing bands from all around the world and actually very few from Germany. It’s not a question of choice, more the hazard of discoveries.



13. Besides working with Humanitas Error Est are any of the members currently working with other bands or projects?

S Caedes: Except Tsar, we all have bands beside Humanitas Error Est. I'm doing the vocals in Lebenssucht, which is more depressive Black Metal. But it's not a “how I can kill myself best way – thing”, since I'm not interested to kill myself. But yeah, I'm very into depressive art, it's a very personal thing, you know. The music and lyrics are much more intimate, the aura of the band is very morbid – what we will also show on stage.  Actually we are working on our first album and have already few gigs fixed for this year. First time we will be on stage on the 9th July in Belgium and
few more gigs will be announced soon. In addition to my two main-bands, I did some guest vocals in Withering Night (Black Metal, United States) and I will also do some guest vocals for Absolutus (Black Metal, Belgium). Void114 is member of the band Coma., from Austria, a very experimental band, very sick music. Can't really put it in words, you just need to listen to. I like it a lot.


Ahephaïm: I’m also drumming into many bands beside Humanitas Error Est. First I have my solo project Arnwald which is something more ambient, industrial with some kind of black metal spirit. My other bands are spread into many genres: Grausame Töchter (electro/punk), Rogash (death metal), Lebenssucht (black metal), Die Wanderratten (medieval alternative), … plus many other projects under construction. 


Ghoul: And me, I'm doing the vocals in Goatfuck, a Black/Trash metal band from Leipzig. We restructured the band into more black than trash, also gave the band a new name (before it was Slaughtered Existence) and working hard on our first EP with me as vocalist. We already had our first gig and there will follow some more this year. One of the upcoming gigs will be in London. Quiet exciting thing. Besides this, we are currently searching for a label.



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

S Caedes: Thank you for your interest and the support of Humanitas Error Est.

Ghoul: Never stop to follow yourself! Cheerz!

Interview   with  Ritual  Genocide   done  by   Patrick

1. Hails   when  did  you  all  first   meet  each  other?Was  it  long  before  you  decided  to  form  the  band?

 

 

I have know S19 for many years now before we began. S19 meet our drummer while playing in another band.
 when that began to fall apart they asked me to join them. This we created Ritual Genocide.

 

 

 

 

 

2.How  did  you  all decide  on  the  name  for the band? What   is  the  current  line-up  of  Ritual  Genocide?

 

 

Before Ritual we use to be Genocide Coven. After the departure of our singer we decided to continue what we were doing as Ritual Genocide.

 

 

 

3.Ritual  Genocide    recently  released their  new  cd   "Commencement  Towards  Annihilation"   how  long  did  it  take  the  band  to  write  and record the  songs  on this  release? Does the  whole  band  take   part  in  the  writing  process  or does  one  member  usually  write  everything?

 

 

We have been writing these 6 songs for about 2 years. First we tried out a few different vocalists which didn't go so well. Then we decided we would have to do it ourselves if we wanted it to be done right. I write alot of music while at work or even at home mostly in my head. In the end we all work hard at putting the songs together.

 

 

 

 

 

4.The  lyrics  seem to  be  based  on  wars  and  violence  in  the  world  When  did  you  all decide  to  write  about  these   subjects?

 

 

We do not write about history but rather the present. Our songs and lyrics come from personal experiences and our beliefs. Our music is a direct extension of who we are.

 

 

 5.Is their  a  certain  war  or  time  in  history that you  all  like to  study  and  if  yes what  is  it?

 

 

No particular one really. Ww1, Ww2, Vietnam. I find all of it is very interesting. But none so much as the war we face each day.

 

6.Besides  the   new  cd    "Commencement  Towards  Annihilation"   does the  band  have   any  other  releases  or  merchandise   available  for  the  readers?And  if  yes  where   can the readers  buy  it  from?

 

 

Our first release Invidious Allegiance split with Phosphore Blanc can be found on Inhuman Assault. Which is also about to release the Ep on tape very soon as well. If you are looking for shirts there is a link on our page.

 

 

 

 

 

7.Has  the  band   started  working  on  new  music/songs  for the   next  release? Any  idea  how  many  songs  will  be  featured  on  the  next release?

 

 

 

 We just finished recording for our next split with Defecrator which will be on Black Plague Records and The True Plague Records.
 

 

 

 

8.Does   Ritual  Genocide   play  very  many  "live"  shows  or  do you  prefer to  work in  the  studio?

 

 

We have played a few shows. At the moment we are mostly writing new material.

 

 

 

 

9.What   have  been  some  of  the  bands  most   memorable  shows  to  date? Are their  any  shows  coming  up  that  the readers  should  watch  out  for?

 

 

Our last show was in Sacramento with Defecrator, Crurifragium and Pseudogod. It was great. No plans right now for future shows.
 

 

 

 

10.In  your   opinions   what  does  underground   metal  mean  to  you?

 

Be your Fucking self. In everything you do, Be true to yourself.

 

 

 

 

11.Other then  working  with   Ritual  Genocide   are  any  of  the   members  currently  working  with  other  bands  or  solo  projects?

 

 

Our drummer and bass player also are in Blasphemous Creation. And we also have another noise, power electronics project called Terroreactor.

 

 

 

 

  

12.Thank  you  all for  taking  the  time to  fill  this   interview   out  do you  all  have   any  final  words  for the  readers

 

 

Heil to all those who support the Anti Filth Campaign...
