long time I listen to the harsh sounds of the German Black Metal Total Hate . Highly recommended is any previous publication, Her latest work is the way in February of this year ... appeared
I have managed the band's founder Adrastus a few of the current situation and other topics include what to ask this dark force ...
It is my honor to welcome you to this interview to may Adrastus!
Ave!
1) Could you maybe tell a little at the beginning of the current situation in the band? For all I know is, Total Hate must now be on hold for a while ... what exactly are the causes of and when will you get the audience back to face?
Well, our Situation looks right now like this that we back a few weeks, the drum tracks for our 2nd Album has been added, as long us our drummer is not available. In the coming weeks, the stringed instruments and the vocal tracks are recorded. Agonia Records will release this album and what happens next will be seen. On ice Total Hate yes first time only in terms of shows down just stays as our drummer for a while in Oslo. Also this week plans to run for a few shows / festivals, because we want to play in 2009 increased slightly Live.
2) Your plans so soon a split with a Norwegian band publish, especially "Stillhet" ... This band is indeed from Løten (in Norway). Should we assume that you have wide contacts? At what other bands have you otherwise have good contacts? Splits are even more in the pipeline?
Well, I already have some contacts in Norway. Some contacts are regular, some are limited to the swapping of CDs / LPs. Bands which are said to include, for example Stillhet, Urgehal, Endezzma, anxiety Skvadron, Elite, Throne of Katarsis a few others in Norway and of course worldwide. Further splits are not yet scheduled, but did not rule for the future.
3) How does it with your label Agonia Records? From them I have so generously given, the promotion of your new CD. The label is reliable, or were there a couple of disputes?
By and large, it is already satisfactory. You always hear how it is with other bands on their label and as I said, it fits this far. It was disappointing that the split with Agonia Stillhet publish and did not want that to date still not the LP version of Planet Earth Depopulating is published, but the way things are sometimes in the Underground.
4) Since its foundation, it took so many years before it to your first "real" Album came out. What were the reasons? First you wanted to expand because of your other publications well known in your background a bit, or you wanted to you for the first album a little time, so it can be recorded properly?
I am of the opinion that a band should grow for now. Of experience, playing ability and so on. We were initially due to the Seeds of Hate old times, also leveled an offer for an album, but I was going to take a demo and see how everything is designed and I do not regret that decision.
6) You are all so involved in several other projects ... do you want to give more precise information about?
It's no big secret that everyone of us have other bands / projects, works as our guitarist is about to launch a solo project, Aer is yes, inter alia Wolfthorn, majesty and other involved Winterheart plays including at Nyktalgia and dying, and I find Seeds of Hate previously played bass Deathronation and now will live a while with Wolfthorn help out on bass. 2009, I will, however, stop all other activities and will focus only on Total Hate.
7) How often do you actually do decide to meet for rehearsals, finally, you seem concerned by the side projects to be ...
rehearsals are for Total Hate do not care and not simply because our drummer lives so usually more than 400 miles away. I work with capable musicians each of which has its mission, and performs perfectly. Once pending CD recordings or concerts, we meet a few days earlier, the play set a few times through and then we are fit.
8) Total Hate ... as the name indicates (in German "Total Hate"), it is a misanthropic black metal band. Would you actually as "all haters" and called misanthropes? How exactly would you define it, there are no people that will mean something?
misanthropy means an objection / contempt for all humanity and in my view, this attitude is limited to people outside the circles in which I am staying. I noticed at some point that I have little in common with humanity and wants to have even the slightest to do with it. It could also quite simply this way: I care a damn humanity. Wind mankind has sown over me enough, now they reap the storm. I do not live or only as part of society. I am acting like an observer of the species with which I have completed a long time. This refers indeed reflected the current metal scene and most of their fans!
misanthropes are very selfish people, what I really think in general for any negative trait ... but as soon as the selfish one meets the other, the situation can easily come into the tilt. Are you by your attitude often involved in arguments?
It's actually quite simple. The people trusted me I am anything but a selfish and people do not know me, I prefer to let my silence. I usually people go out of the way, so I'm rarely involved in arguments.
9) And what about Band Intern from? Was there also times greater differences?
I do not know (extreme) metal band in which it is not from time to time differences are. In many a band more in some less, so I'm at Total Hate to a fashionable from the very beginning, what I intended to do with the band and the other hole I only musician in the band that I know are either closer to or from my friends and trust that I can.
10) Satan is playing like it should be in the true black metal yes, and a role in your music ... what exactly? She also practiced satanic rituals, or would you rather see as the image? What is your view of Satanism?
No, we practice at least no common rituals. From Satanism has probably everyone in the band's own view. I do not believe this "Teen Satanism", where graves vandalized and chickens are slaughtered, I think I speak for all of us. I'm not a preacher and I'm not in front of other people to convince them of my faith. To me, Satanism is definitely not an image! Suffice it to say, Satanism is for me a kind of energy source that surrounds me constantly, it is something very personal, but what I am talking to no one, also because I'm not interested other opinions on this subject at all. I have taken several years ago, my way I still am and will continue to go without compromise.
What about your attitude to other faiths? Are there any with which you can also identify you, or do you have to do with anything?
the No's are not, and I want to do with other faiths have nothing. I reject all other faiths for me!
11) You founded the band, would you describe yourself as a leader of the troupe? Dance by one of your pipe, or is Total Hate to become a joint project?
In a sense I'm probably the head, since I founded the band, main songwriter, am answering all the interviews and take care of all organizational. The others do not need to dance to my tune, because we are actually quite an opinion when it comes to most things, and when we disagree, we talk about it. This makes Total Hate then turn to a common project or a band.
12) What were the reasons for it, would Total Hate cease to exist one day? Your death? Total
Would Hate to your death no longer exists, or would you agree to pursue the other members of the band?
would at this stage say that Total Hate definitely after my death would not exist anymore. How would it look in a few years, I can not say. But I would not mind if the other, the band would continue worthy. Another possible end would be for me for a long period of time, lack the inspiration or I'm just saturated.
13) I guess an extent that its commercial bands could not suffer well, if not hated ... or bands, which are aimed to the highest level of awareness to achieve and no interest in the true background of the Black Metal more have.
It is concluded that before you did not particularly known to be right? What do you want with Total Hate achieve anything ... is it only the music and express your thoughts about, or has even more profound reasons Total Hate?
Nowadays it is simply that you make from the Black Metal anyway not hardly can live up to, so I have to earn in any way with any band so far even begin to consider getting money. My goal was first and foremost always my vision to express my views and to achieve. I wanted to play the kind of Black Metal, which for me was always Black Metal. Whether we will or not known to me, ultimately, completely equal, we prefer our thing through with Total Hate as usual, without considering the interests of a so-called scene. We do what we want and not what others want or expect to hear!
14) How the impressions of your recent live performances were so? The rooms were filled with strong?
The impressions were mostly ok as far as the audience. The best performance was far from my point of view, which in December 2007. The first of the new line up. At Total Hate appearances have been represented from 30-300 people have all sorts of public figures. It all depends on whether it is a festival or a concert. Is it during the week, there is a Weekend. There are many factors as to recoup. Live shows are something very special for me. The feelings can be ill during a show to describe. It is as if a demon has taken possession of me and I at the moment his "tool" bin. There are feelings of obsession, rage, anger, aggression, hate flow through me. There is hardly anything emotionally gripping Deres for me to play with Total Hate as a concert.
15) Which countries have you already played and which countries you intend to travel to? What about Austria?
So far we have seen, unfortunately, only in Germany, Poland and Holland. I hope of course that we'll soon be playing in Austria, as I did back then with Seeds of Hate already done. My personal dream would, of course, due to play through my sources of inspiration and influence, in Norway and Sweden. Otherwise, I'm open to all countries and continents. South America would be as interesting.
16) The future ... you never know what it will bring. You have another album in any event planning or according to your myspace page already in labor! Could you give more information about this album here?
There is much about it yet to report, we have already mentioned how the drum tracks recorded and will make us soon to the rest. The album will contain 7 songs, including one song a cover version of an earlier Swedish Black Metal Band will be to no longer exists. The playing time will be approximately between 35 and 40 minutes.
17) Well ... I must ask you to complete a question that is very dear to me personally?
course .....
Why have you actually changed your logo? The old logo looked much better in my opinion ... I've ever needed to raise one of your demo-shirt could see the still the old logo was!
So the first logo I've designed myself back then and how it's always like that, after a certain time, I can not see my logo and everything I've just asked again Szpajdel Christophe, who had also designed the Seeds of Hate logo. Personally, I like our new logo better because it just looks more aggressive.
So then ... thank you so much for you for taking time to answer my questions! It was my pleasure, I wish you and your band yet another successful anniversary!
I thank you for your time and support!
