1.Hails DA. please introduce yourself to the readers?
Hell-o. Im Daniel and I play bass in Deiquisitor and I do some vocals as well.
I have been in the band since late 2014/early 2015. Only did a bit of vocals on the first album but everything after that, I have done bass as well.
2.When did you first discover death metal and who were the first bands you heard?Who are some of the current bands that you have been listening to?
I think around 99 or 00, when I first heard Death Metal and Black Metal. It was mostly the classics, Morbid Angel, Suffocation, you know, all the good shit!
It's still a lot of the classic stuff I listen to but David from Extremely Rotten Productions, is really good at getting me to buy the things he puts out on tape, so if anyone wants to get the best, that's where you get it. At least from what I know. But to name a few newer, stuff like Tortur Rack, Lord Gore, Portal, etc. And many more, to many to name them all.
3.When did you first meet the other members of the band and was it long before you all started Deiquisitor? What is the current line up of the band?
I met them at my first concert with my old band, they were the headliner with one of their older bands Wolfslair back in... I'm not sure if it was 07 or 08. We just kept a bit of contact after that.
The line up is the same, just Henrik, Thomas and me, doing our thing.
4.Who would you say are the bands biggest influences and have they remained the same over the years?For the readers who have never heard Deiquisitor how would you best describe the bands musicial style?
The biggest influences for all of us has always been the drive to make extreme music in anything any of us has done. But again it's the classic stuff and whatever has been happening in our lives.
I don't wanna name any bands, cuz we mostly just sound like Deiquisitor, I think. We just do our thing. We like it fast, raw, brutal. So if any reader has not heard us but like the sound of what I said, then giv us a go!
5.Humanoid is the band's newest EP. how long did it take the band to write the music for the new release? Does the whole band take part in the writing process or does one member usually write everything?
I can't answer that really. we are always making new music, it never stops. Since we recorded Humanoid, we have made like 6 new songs and have some ideas for a new one as well.
Yes everybody takes part. Henrik comes up with some drum parts and then Thomas makes some riffs and I make my basslines off that and then we rehearse them and find out how everything has to be put together.
Other times we just jam at rehearsal and come up with stuff. it's pretty dynamic.
6.Who usually handles writing the lyrics for the music and what are some subjects written about on the new release? Which usually comes first, the music or the lyrics?
All 3 of us write lyrics. It's about stuff like occult science, ancient mysteries and apocalyptic theories. I would recommend everyone to read the lyrics, when they buy the album. It's a good read!
7.Besides the upcoming Humanoid release are the bands previous releases still available for the readers to purchase? Does the band have any other merchandise currently available if yes what is available and where can the readers purchase it?

8.Has Deiquisitor played very many live shows over the years or do you prefer working in the studio?What have been some of the bands most memorable shows over the years? Who are some bands you have had the opportunity to share the stage with?
I don't know if we have played many but we have played a bit here in DK and EU. Every time we play with Undergang, it's just the most fun. Those guys are the best, we have been on a week tour in 2016 with them, then 2 smaller weekend tours to UK and Germany/Holland and a weekend tour with Finish Galvanizer here in DK. David (Undergang) is the one that gets us all our shows, he's the MVP and he's support and friendship, we are just really grateful for all the stuff he does. We could not do it without him. But we are a rehearsal room band mostly. That's where Deiquisitor is made! It's the brotherhood we have there that is the power of the band! And some cool bands we have played with are StarGazer, Lord Gore, Death Congregation, Galvanizer and more!
9.Besides working in Deiquisitor do any of the members currently work with any other bands?If yes please tell the readers a little about them?
No.. But Thomas and Henrik has been active since the early 90's, with bands like Fallen Angel, Wolfslair, Blodfest, Luciation, etc.
You can hear a lot of this on our Lebal-Bandcamp: https://orderofthenonagram.bandcamp.com/ and there are physical releases of most of it as well.
10.What does Underground Metal mean to you?
Okay now I have tried for an hour to come up with something meaningful to answer with, but I can't. I just like it extreme and mainstream does not have that, really.
Maybe that's the thing, is whatever you make it and everyone is there for different reasons.
11.Deiquisitor comes out of Denmark's death metal scene what are your thoughts of the scene in Denmark over the years?
Well the Danish scene is taking over the world with Undergang at the forefront. We have some really cool bands here with stuff like: Chaotia, Phrenelith, Septage, hypodontia, Taphos.
Then some older stuff like Fallen Angel, early infernal Death Demos, early Iniquity and Nations of Death.
12.Who are your all-time favorite bands coming out of Denmark and are there any new bands you could tell the readers a little about?
So I answered the last part already but my favorite bands are Fallen Angel, Wolfslair and Blodfest. Thomas and Henrik play in them and I get to play in Deiquisitor with my music heros. It's pretty sick dude!
Back in 2014 when I had no band to play in, a mate said, I should give Henrik a call,cuz they had started a new band, so they might be down to have me on, so I did and... well the rest is history in the making!
13.When you need to take a break from working on new music or band business what do you like to do in your free time?
Before lockdown, I liked to hang with friends, go for walks in the woods, go to raves and get fucked up, go to the movies. Just some pretty un-metal things. haha but also going to see some cool underground shows here in DK. Again thanks to David for bringing all the cool bands to Denmark!
14.Thank you DA. for taking the time to fill this interview out do you have any final comments for the readers?
Thank you Patrick for giving us the chance to tell you about our Death Metal band ! And I do! Go out there and do your thing, don't make headbanger friendly music, be extreme, don't compromise on your vision! and remember to crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women! haha Give us a listen and get our new Ep "Humanoid" for the most dark and brutal Death Metal Denmark has to offer! Thanks for all the support! Band Contacts https://deiquisitor.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/Deiquisitor
