[INTERVIEWS]

Interview with Erwin, by Billy nocera (I Spit on Your Grave - 1999)

Billy: You guys have been around the Underground for a long time now, releasing some demos, split eps, and now your first full length cd on bones Brigade. Are happy with both your old material and the new stuff? What things have changed in the Underground since you first began?
Erwin: Yes, we are happy with all our releases at that time, except our first split ep with "Confessions of Obscurity" because these were ruined by the pressing it on vinyl. With our new recordings, and new songs that have to be recorded, you can hear that the songs are more structured than all our old recordings, but still brutal as fuck! We've been around with Last Days of Humanity for about eight or nine years, and things that have changed are that there are too many Black shitty pathethic Metal bands spreading around like flies on a pile of shit, and there are way too many bands playing Grind with too much Death Metal influences- for the rest I don't really give a fuck.

B: Your new stuff sounded a little like Regurgitate but also a little different. What are some other bands that helped inspire your sound/style? Do you get into bands like Agathocles, Drop Dead, A.C., Terrorizer, old Napalm Death, etc? What are some other Gore/Grind bands you like? Mortician?
E: Well, we all are or have been listening to the bands you name in your question, but we aren't inspired by any bands really, we try to keep out feet on the ground and do our own thing as much as possible (it could also be possible that someday we put some rock n' roll parts in our songs, it's just how we feel, and we don't make songs for other people's appreciation, so who knows!) At the moment I am listening to stuff like Rupture, Kuro, Gusm, Gore Beyond Necropsy, Dead Infection, etc. The other members are listening to more stuff like Mortician and Deranged, etc.

B: Tell us about your split lp with Murder Corporation coming out! That's cool you're still doing vinyl! Any other records coming out?
E: The split with Murder Corporation will be out on Gowap Records someday soon, but at the moment I've heard he wants to do it on cd because it's cheaper to spread around, because of the postal rates (you probably understand as you do a record label yourself). Our side contains eleven new songs and seven old songs, but with a new title. No gory splatter lyrics, but the music is still brutal Gore Grind as usual, ha ha ha. We prefer vinyl much more than cd. We like the scratchy sound, so if anyone is interested to do a split 7" or so for us, just write and we start recording. Vinyl rules!

B: Hans used to do Lowland Records and released the godly Regurgitate cd. What happened to the label? What do the other members of LDOH do besides the band?
E: Hans quit Lowland and also he stopped singing with us after the recordings for out split 7" with Rakitis, so we have a new line up now. Besides LDOH, I started a band called Amfetamin Anger together with William (our guitar player). Our new drummer also plays drums for another brutal band called Suppository. Anne (our other guitar player) is going to school, and we all have jobs. That's it I guess. (We also drink as much as possible!)

B: Well, thanx for your answers and sorry for the short interview. Keep up the sick work with your band and give some closing comments. Thanx!
E: Thanks to you Billy and your girlfriend for your interest and to those who read this: start killing before you get killed! Cheers!
