CANCER SPREADING - INTERVIEW 2011

And now an interview with Italian metal crusties CANCER SPREADING !! With answers from the singer Gabri .I had the chance to share the sateg with them in Besthöven European tour 2001 in Dresden city/Germany at the awesome PARANOY FESTIVAL and what I have to say that they are really fucking killer live !! Cancer Spreading show to us with their music some of the best influences between the roots of metal and crust 80´s in a really energetic and strong show! Here they are talking about their work,history,upcoming and the possibility of a brazilian tour also!! that I really hope can happen soon!!

1-So,please...can you talk a little about the history of CANCER SPREADING ? When was formed? Etc…..
GABRI: Hi Fofao! Well, Cancer Spreading was formed at the end of 2006 by me and Merlo (guitar/vocals) to break the boredom of our fucking city (Modena)
and as a tribute to all the 80's english bands that were our main listening at the time..
Soon Otta (drums) and Miky (bass) joined us too, and with this line-up we started doing a lot of gigs in Italy and recorded our first shitty demotape "Stenchcore Scum" and the split 7" with Children Of Technology... we were very untalented at the time and the recording was a real shit, but there is some people who still like it ahah...
In 2009 Japa joined the band as a second guitarrist and we recorded more stuff, for sure better than the one before... We went on with this line-up until Miky was kicked out of the band before our second european tour in summer 2010..
after that Headcrashing JJ from REPULSIONE/TERROR FIRMER and Katta from the local hc punk band INFAMIA helped us with gigs and festivals for a while but they both couldn't fit as stable members because they were too busy with their other bands, so we decided to do our next recording (June 2011) just in four, with Japa playing both guitar and bass...
Until finally our friend Matteino (ex BERSERK/ 9/11 JUMPERS) joined the band in August 2011 as he's totally what we were looking for.. we will record with this line-up next in 2012 for a split with Belgian friends LAST LEGION ALIVE and we're finally back to full live activity...
In all these years we played a lot of gigs (for example shows with DEVIATED INSTINCT, HELLBASTARD, EXTREME NOISE TERROR, AFTER THE BOMBS, VULCANO, WARHAMMER, SOCIAL CHAOS, FILTH OF MANKIND, INSTINCT OF SURVIVAL, LYCANTHROPY)
and fests like PLAY FAST OR DON'T in Czech Republic, MONTEPARADISO in Croatia, ROVINA HARDCORE and SEPTEMBER TO DISMEMBER in Italy and many more...
I remember all these gigs being great, for sure there are many others which I don't remember now ehehe...

02-Why “CANCER SPREADING” ??
Gabri :We choosed this name for 2 different reasons: first as a tribute to the DEVIATED INSTINCT song, probably one of our main influences (we used cover their "Despair" song some years ago)...
The other reason is that we see the "evolution" of mankind as being out of control, and nowdays man is nothing more as a plague to our environment.. a cancer that is growing more and more until will consume everything on this earth...

03-What is the line up now?? And say if your members have others works like ; play in others bands or projects,etc…..
Gabri :Yes, 4 of us have other active bands because we want to break the boredom of our shitty daily life (as I told you before) and we are all music-addicted...
Since 2008 I play in TERROR FIRMER (old school thrashing grindcore inspired by '80s bands like old NAPALM DEATH, ELECTRO HIPPIES, SIEGE, HERESY etc.) together with members of very active band like REPULSIONE, JESUS AIN'T IN POLAND and BESTIAL VOMIT...
Until now we released three split 7" and participated in some compilations, we're just back after a bit hiatus with a bit more mince-core oriented sound, but still devoted to the '80s eheh... we will put out a split with SOCIAL CHAOS next year.
I play also in BLACK TEMPLE BELOW together with Japa, we formed this band last year and we've just released our first demo limited to 66 copies...
with this band we play dark and filthy doom metal/sludge with lyrics about H.P Lovecraft and strange topics like nightmares, visions... we are working on new stuff too.
Japa play also in CAMPUS STERMINI (crustcore with a metal touch, I think you know the band since they share 3 members with KONTATTO and used to be very active in the scene) and with Merlo they formed AXIS OF DESOLATION, a new project with Marzia from KONTATTO/CAMPUS STERMINI...
raw and old school stenchcore totally devoted to the '80s. very nice shit, hope they will record soon.
Our bassist Matteino play in 9/11 JUMPERS, a old style punk/hc band which, even if they are new, already have released a good old tape and are very active, having already played a good number of gigs...
check out all these bands, I think they deserve it.. as you see, even Shitaly can produce some good stuff too sometimes despite what some people think...

04-Your sound is fucking powerfull and great! I see some influences of bands like DEVIATED INSTINCT, AXEGRINDER,BOLT THROWER…..am I right?? So,wich are your favorite bands? And influences also?
Gabri :Yeah, you're totally right about these bands... I can say that at the beginning we were trying to mix the punkish/metal sounds of the bands you've mentioned (AMEBIX and GENITAL DEFORMITIES too are big influences for us)
With raw approach of bands like DOOM, old NAPALM DEATH (demos period), HIATUS, EXTREME NOISE TERROR, RIPCORD, RAW NOISE and some '80s metal bands too, like SODOM or HELLHAMMER...
With the arrival of Japa our style changed a bit like I was saying before, becoming heavier and darker and with a strong death metal feeling...also bands like PROPHECY OF DOOM, PUNGENT STENCH, ASPHYX, WINTER, HELLBASTARD, old KREATOR for sure have influenced our sound.
Even if I could say that now we have a sound of our own, without trying to copy no one...
about our musical tastes, we are open minded people and everyone of us listen to a lot of different musical styles, even distant to metal/crust/punk area.. so that would be a too long list, and probably everyone of us would tell you different bands..
But I can tell you that now with Cancer we are having fun with a cover of GBH's "knife edge", we love playing it live.

05-How do you compose the songs?? It´s between the all band? Or isolated work made by one member,etc….?? and what are you trying to show in your lyrics??
Gabri :Basically the process of writing new songs starts from ideas of Japa and then Merlo add other riffs.. but with the development of the song we all add ideas and variations, so I can say that all the band take part in the process.
About the lyrics, I write all of them: with this band I always wanted to have dark and negative lyrics that reflect most of my personality, but it's an attitude shared by the entire band...
Cancer lyrics don't deal with politics like direct action, boycotting multinationals, protest etc. because I choosed to focus on another aspect of life...
the everyday madness with all the shit that we have to swallow is throwed up with misanthropy and hopelessness, praying for the extinction of the fucked up human race... death is the only way to escape this hell.

06-I know that you want to do a tour in Brazil,am I right ?? Are you working on this now?? Do you have some guys here to be helping this tour?
Do you have a date or some idea about when you will be doing the tour here?? And of course,If you want to say something to Brazilian friends about this,feel free to use this space ok??
Gabri : Yes, it all started in Summer of 2010 when we shared some dates in Europe with SOCIAL CHAOS, and as a result of our friendship we started to talk about them coming to Italy and us travelling to Brasil...
the problem at the time was that we were just left without a bassplayer, so no chances for a tour... now we are thinking about it again, because we really want to play in Brasil and meet all our friends up there, we just have to gather the money for the travel which is fucking expensive...
But I'm sure will make it, I hope that we can do it for next summer.
To all the Brazilian maniacs that follow our band: hold on, we are coming to desecrate your lands and dry your rivers of alcohol!

07-And what do you know and enjoy from Brazilian scene?? From the past and today??
Gabri : Of course I love Brazilian scene!
Apart from BESTHOVEN and our friends in DISKONTROLL and SOCIAL CHAOS (and the side-project bands of their members), I like a lot of bands:
from the old punk bands like RATOS DE PORAO (Crucificado pelo sistema is probably one of my favourite records of all times), OLHO SECO, ARMAGEDOM, COLERA, BRIGADA DO ODIO
to metal like VULCANO, SARCOFAGO, old SEPULTURA, SEXTRASH to grindcore like the legendary ROT...
of newers bands I like OFFAL, SCUM NOISE, EXECRADORES, DISPEPSIAA, SICK TERROR, UNFIT SCUM, DEATH FROM ABOVE, NUCLEAR FROST, WHIPSTRIKER VIOLATOR, BANDANOS...
and for sure many more that I don't remember right now...

08-I know that you are releasing now a full length CD “The Age of Desolation”…Can you talk a little about this new CD? How many songs….which label is releasing….etc….?
Gabri :Well this cd should be off the pressing plant as I'm writing this and it will be released by Spanish label MEMENTO MORI records, which is a label focused on old school death/doom metal and stenchcore..
And since our music contains all these elements, I can't think of a better label to release it... This is probably the best work we have done so far, for sure the one that represent more what is the band today..
even if was recorded in few time (and we were constantly high or drinking during the rec. session) we are totally satisfied with it..
There are totally 10 songs (one being an intro and another one a BOLT THROWER cover.. we recorded also another long song in this session that will be released on a split 7" with Greek band BLACK TRINITY,killer raw DIY black metal project by GO FILTH GO! members),and in 3 of these songs we also used keyboards (in the AMEBIX/AXEGRINDER way) which is a totally new element in our music.. but we think it fits perfectly.
If you like what we have done so far, you will be blown away by "the age of desolation"!!

09-And also say to us your discography
Gabri :Ok, I'll also add our upcoming releases:
"Stench core scum" demotape (2008)

split 7" with CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY (2008)

split 7" with CRUEL STORM (2009)

split 12" with DISKONTROLL (2009)

split 7" with DRUNKARDS (2010)

"Suffering" 7" EP (2011)

"The age of desolation" full length CD (out this month!)

split 7" with BLACK TRINITY (should be out in February 2012)


10-And now the end….The end is near….It´s time to say………….
Gabri : Yes my friend the end is very near for us all... we will submit to extinction!
thanx for the interview, I invite everyone interested in our crap to contact us and support the scene (cancerspreading@hotmail.it/ myspace.com/cancerspreading)...
good luck with the zine and with BESTHOVEN, hope to play with you again soon...and remember: DRINK AND BE MERRY... FOR TOMORROW WE MAY DIE!!!

DISCHARGE 2011

This is an interview I made with Rat and Bones to be in our Brazilian Tribute to DISCHARGE Comp. CD
And since in the CD you will see this one only in portuguese language I decided to publish it here in english also

01-So….do you started to play in 1979……what you can say to us now about the differences between these all time ?? What changed to better or worst in all these years?? And what do you feel to have been so influential and inspiration band for years and years ??
Bones: Well back in "79 punk was new, everybody wanted to be a punk because that was all there was or teddyboy or rocker. Now there is too much choice don't think anyone knows what they're into

02-Do you played in Brazil some years ago……what do you can say about Brazilian scene? Bands ? what do you enjoy from here? Etc……and good moments you had in the past tour here??
Rat: Yes DISCHARGE came to Brazil few years ago now 2004 not long after I had joined them on vocals (I joined 2003) I had been to Brazil a few times with my other band THE VARUKERS and was a great opportunity. To come over with DISCHARGE , we played some great shows with great bands like RATOS DE PORÃO,AÇÃO DIRETA,DISCARGE CALIBRE 12 and others ,what do we enjoy from Brazil ,definitely the enthusiasm of the crowd.We hope to return maybe in 2012 so keep watching

03-What you expect from this Brazilian Tribute to DISCHARGE we are doing ? Are 27 Brazilian bands from all eras since the 80´s…….it is not the “first” tribute to DISCHARGE also….by the way for us all here is REALLY a special moment in Brazilian scene….Since DISCHARGE is an inspiration to many Brazilian people in underground scene ; punks and metal since the beguin of 80´s…..
Rat: Looking forward to hearing it, see which bands give DISCHARGE a run for there money ,many thanks to all those involved in it hope it was fun for everyone involved and DISCHARGE are very honoured of the support that they are still recieving ,we will not let you down

04-When DISCHARGE was back in 2000 it was with Cal in vocals…..and recorded an album with him also…..So,Rat joined as a vocalist and some songs was recorded again with Rat on vocals….
What was the reason that Cal left the band ?? By the way,Don´t you think that changing the vocalist can be keep the band many different in music??
Rat: It was Tezz the original drummer and Bones brother that got the idea of getting the band back together and recording a new album ,and eventually going out and playing some of the new songs live , well shortly after the new album was released in 2002, Calvin decided to leave, the other 3 decided they wanted to carry on (I mean they are the original founders) so have every right ,So searched for a new vocalist and on the recommendation of Ian Glasper, a writer for Terroriser magazine, Tezz got in touch with me ,we all met up went through a few songs ,and the rest as they say is history

05-I know that there´s a lot of bootlegs DISCHARGE releases in many different countries….I´d like to talk about one in special…..Is a 7” EP called “LIVE IN PRESTON” I think this is a live gig recorded in 1980(???) with TEZZ and BONES yet…..In this 6 trax record,there´s a song called “WHERE´S OUR FREEDOM” and we never heard this song before in any of official DISCHARGE releases…..
Do you know this record ??? do you remember this song ??? some possibility from you record this song again officially someday??
Rat: I am still trying to hear the track can´t get hold of it anywhere ,might be an idea to revamp it if its any good….
Bones=I haven't heard that bootleg so I can't really say and I can't remember the track you mentioned but now that you told me if it's good we may do it on our next release
NOTE : After this I sent the song in mp3 to Rat and Bones and they returned me completing this answer;
Bones: Yes I heard it ,Is it a song that we changed and used it under another title

06-AND NOW THE END….THE END IS NEAR…IT´S TIME TO SAY…
Rat: HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR !! YOUR NIGHTMARE CONTINUES ………………..

SOCIAL CHAOS 2011

Agora segue uma entrevista com o incansável camarada Borela! que conta um pouco de seus anos de trabalho na cena punk paulista,a época de sua antiga banda a F.D.S. e é claro muito sobre o trampo com a fuderosa SOCIAL CHAOS!!!

01-Gostaria que iniciasse esta comentando um pouco sobre sua trajetória na cena punk paulista,como e quando conheceu o punk,a primeira banda que ouviu....
e queria ainda que nos falasse um pouco do seu trabalho com a F.D.S. ;
quanto tempo durou a banda,alguns momentos marcantes e o porque da banda ter acabado,etc.......?
Borela-Minha trajetória dentro da cena punk hard core como era conhecida no meio dos anos 80 começou de forma inocente, a adolescencia vivida nas ruas tinha um sabor muito diferente dos de hoje,
pelo fato de que tudo se aprendia nas ruas mesmo,respeito se conquistava com uma boa conversa ou na base da porrada e para falar a verdade não me lembro de ter tido antes de meus 13 anos algum
contato visual ou sonoro com algo do genero, as gangues nas ruas ,brigas, mas sempre relacionado com a cena da época que estava muito em evidência que era a black music, no entanto eu já me
arriscava a andar com a mulecada mais velha eu tinha 13 mas a galera tinha 16 ,17 anos o que me possibilitou experimentar algo muito alem do que minha mente pudesse imaginar,assim naõ muito
distante de minha casa na própria vila que morava surgia a primeira galera que eu dava role ,,,,algo que não consigo classificar até os dias de hoje, mas a nossa parada era atravéz da música
agressiva que ouviamos na época, o lance politico não existia e nem passava perto, me lembro de ter pego em maos os primeiros lps que nunca esquecerei RDP/Cólera split ao vivo,Rattus e Terveet Kadet,
desta epoca para frente as coisas para min mudaram muito,comecei a buscar outras informaçoes ,,algo mais concistente,cartas que eramtrocadas na epoca traziam para min tudo que euprecisava para ter uma
formação mais criteriosa sobre o que estava trazendo para minha vida e que já sabia que seria para sempre, logo na sequencia já estava dando minhas primeiras palhetadas e gritos no final de 87 o F.D.S já respirava e dava seus primeiros passos a ponto de ficar sério no finalde 89 e estabelecendo oficialmente o nome,tive junto a esta banda cerca de 14 anos,,,algunslps foram gravados e lançados em epocas muito diferentes das de hoje,acredito que os melhores momentos com está banda para min foram o lançamento do primeiro lp ,a tour pela europa em 2001,todos os amig@s que fiz que me possibilitaram estar atuante até os dias de hoje,infelismente o tempo
os caminhos diferentes que a vida leva cada um, assim fez com que me afastac naturalmente daquelasituação para min que já naõ acrescentava nada,nunca digo que algo acabou apenas c transformou............

02-Como surgiu a SOCIAL CHAOS ? E o que o mais motivou a formar a banda ?
Borela-A transformação imediata,no exato momento que deixei algo para trás projetei algo para frente, em maos e mente tudo que queria para min,não foi nada dificil continuar a minha vida.........

03-Porque “ SOCIAL CHAOS “ ?
Borela-Sempre habitei centros urbanos nada mais que justo um nome desses,simples e muito presente em nossas vidas
olhando, sentindo, respirando a podre atmosfera que envolve o ser humano, manipulação em massa,cegueira social, pessoas enfileiradas o caos mental,SOCIAL CHAOSSSSSS!

04-Influencias e bandas favoritas ??
Borela-NOSSA AGORA COMPLICOU, MAS VOU CITAR ALGO QUE REALMENTE ME INFLUENCIOU E INFLUENCIA ATÉ OS DIAS DE HOJE
NAPALM DEATH- E.N.T - ANTICIMEX - CRUDE SS - HERESY - CONCRET SOX - WRETCHED - NEGAZIONE - RAW POWER - rdp- cólera- olho seco e poderia citar mais uma centena de outras influencias .

05-Como surgiu o lance da parceria com o 1berto nas artes,já que ele já havia trabalhado para a F.D.S. e também tem feito trampos agora para a SOCIAL CHAOS ?
Devo dizer ainda que eu admiro muito o trampo desses cara!!!
Borela-Uma pergunta bastante diferente de as que sempre respondo em entrevistas mas muito inteligente e fico grato que a tenha feito, o 1BERTO tive o prazer de conhece-lo em meados de 1990,ele era colaborador direto e ilustrador e tambem com gravador em mãos fazendo as entrevistas do grande zine aqui do ABC chamado *AVIZO FINAL* junto ao Renato,acredito que o BRASIL todo conheça a trajetória e conquista deste zine atuante até os dias de hoje em xerox feito em total fundição cerebral,,bom voltando ao UMBERTO
este um grande parceiro e sempre chamado por min de o quinto elemento no caso do FDS e no caso do SOCIALCHAOS tambem quinto elemento visto que estamos em 4 integrantes agora,olha comoumbom guerreiro do underground sempre teve motivaçoes
para estar em parceria com bandas e pessopas que acredita somarem para sua vida,nunca questionei nenhum trampo que fez para nós , todos os trabalhos dele foram ao ponto certo com o que queriamos,lógico que sempre ouve uma conversa sobre oque abranger nos desenhos ,,o ultimo album *ciclo da traição* nosso logo antigo e tambem o atualizado venho por esta agradecer a grande colaboração ,sempre somou com as imagens,e estamos já conversando sobre a possibilidade de o novo album ter sua marca na capa novamente.

06-Como é processo de composição dos sons da SOCIAL CHAOS ? Coletivo? Individual ? e quais temas procuram abordar nas letras ?
Borela-O PROCESSO É SIMPLES,EU ESTOU SEMPRE COMPONDO NUNCA PARO, O DIA QUE EU PARAR POR ALGUM MOMENTO EU PARO E JÁ ERA FUI VENCIDO ,,SEMPRE TRAÇO UMA META E PROCURO CUMPRILA PELO MENOS DE MINHA PARTE,COSTUMO LEVAR BASES NOVAS A CADA ENSAIO QUANDO PROGRAMADO QUE ALGO NOVO TEM QUE NASCER
, NO MOMENTO ESTAMOS TRABALHANDO FORTE O NOVO ALBUM E TAMBEM ALGUNS SPLITS EPS , TUDO É CONVERSADO ,DEPOIS QUE A BASE DA MUSICA É PASSADA PARA TODOS TRAMPAMOS DE FORMA COLETIVA PARA ALCANÇAR O MAXIMO DE BRUTALIDADE QUE ELA POSSA TRANSMITIR,
DEPOIS ME INSPIRO EM ALGO QUE ME INCOMODA REALMENTE NESTA VIDA E TENTO DA FORMA MAIS TRANSPARENTE O POSSIVEL TRANSMITILA EM NOSSOS SONS,TODAS AS LETRAS DO SOCIALCHAOS SÃO VOLTADAS A PROBLEMAS DE COTIDIANO,LOGICO QUE CADA UM TEM O SEU ,ESTES SÃO OS NOSSOS DO SOCIALCHAOS
,MAS LÓGICO QUE OS MESMOS PROBLEMAS QUE TEMOS SÃO OS QUE OUTROS MILHARES TEM...............

07-Como foi o processo da produção do excelente CD “ CICLO DA TRAIÇÃO” ? Já que foi encabeçado por 3 selos de países diferentes e tals ? E conte-nos qual a atual discografia da SOCIAL CHAOS ?
Borela-SEMPRE DIGO QUE O CICLO DA TRAIÇÃO APESAR DE TEREM 11 FAIXAS NO CD E OU NO LP AS MESMAS 11, FORAM GRAVADOS 21 SONS EM UMA GRAVAÇÃO QUE COMEÇOU AC TORNAR REAL JA NA VOLTA NOSSA DA PRIMEIRA TOUR EM 2005, MAS TIVEMOS UM GRANDE PROBLEMA COM A SAIDA DA DUDA EX GUITA DA BANDA POR PROBLEMAS DE SAUDE NA EPOCA(NO BRAÇO)
E COM A ENTRADA DO PUDOL(EX ROT) ATUALMENTE ESTAVA NO BANDANOS TAMBEM,ISTO NO DAVA REALMENTE MUITO POUCO TEMPO PARA ENSAIAR E ACABAR DE COMPOR O LP NOVO,VISTO QUE ELE TAMBEM DEVERIA PEGAR UMSET LIST PARA GIGS QUE SEMPRE ESTAVAMOS FAZENDO, DENTRE A SAIDA DA DUDA EA ENTRADA DO PUDOL ACERTAR TUDO FORAM QUASE 3 ANOS,O QUAL NOS
LEVOU A GRAVAR MUITO MAIS SONS QUE HAVIAMOS PROGRAMADO PARA O LP,,,NO CASO GRAVAMOS MAIS 10 SONS OS QUAIS JÁ ESTÃO EN 2 SPLITS EPS PELA EUROPA E TAMBEM ESTAS MESMAS 10 MUSICAS MAIS ALGUNS BONUS SERÃO LANÇADOS NO JAPÃO EM UM MATERIAL EXCLUSIVO O *REVOLUTIONS BREATH* COM VARIAS FAIXAS INÉDITAS, O ALBUM CICLO DA TRAIÇÃO FOI LANÇADO
EM CD SIM LANÇADOS POU TRES SELOS DE DIFERENTES PAISES(KARASUKILLER/JAPAO- FILTHEAR/BELGICA-TERROTTEN/BRASIL),VERSAO LP ( ZEROWORK/PORTUGAL- FILTHEAR/BELGICA- UNIAOPOSITIVA/BRASIL)

08-Do tempo que você começou na cena até os dias de hoje,como você enxerga o cenário underground Brasileiro de hoje? Numa rápida análise falando sobre diferenças,melhoras,etc.....?
Borela-OLHA SÓ ESTA E UMA PERGUNTA QUE SEMPRE É FEITA,E TENHO UMA RESPOSTA SIM CURTA SOBRE TUDO ISTO,A CENA CONTINUA EXISTINDO E CONTINUA ATIVA EM TODOS OS CANTOS DO MUNDO DA MESMA FORMA QUE COMEÇOU,,É UM MOVIMENTO DE REBELDIA SOCIAL,SEMPRE VAI EXISTIR E NUNCA VAI MUDAR, OQUE MUDA SOMOS NÓS, ROLES, COMPANIAS, O SEU JEITO DE C EXPRESSAR DENTRO DA PRÓPRIA CENA,
MORAMOS EM UM LUGAR ONDE AS COISAS ACONTECEM DEVAGAR E COM VARIAS DIFICULDADES,TAMBEM NÃO É JUSTO OS QUE VÃO E VOLTAM DIZEREM QUE ERA ISSO OU ERA AQUILO, OS SUBURBIOS DERRAMAN SANGUE DA MESMA MANEIRA QUE DERRAMAVAM A 30 ANOS ATRAS ,O QUE C MUDA SÃO AS ARMAS...........

09-Vocês optam por cantar em português e inglês também ? como decidiram isso ? como decidiram manter sons nas duas línguas e porque?
Borela-SIM O PASSAR DO TEMPO ME DEU A SEGURANÇA DE PODER ME EXPRESSAR EM OUTRO IDIOMA TAMBEM, MAS TUDO MUITO SIMPLES E DIRETO,MAS NADA COMBINADO NÃO AS VEZES A IDEIA FLUI MAIS FACIL DE TAL MANEIRA ,,,
SIMPLESMENTE ACONTECE,E CLARO AQUELE LANCE DE TRADUÇÃO SEMPRE DEIXA UMA DUVIDA EM QUEM ESTA LENDO, AFINAL A NOSSA LINGUAGEM URBANA MUITAS VEZES A TRADUÇÃO NÃO C É ALCANÇADA,EM QUALQUER LUGAR DO PLANETA

10-Sei que a banda já tocou fora do país,diga-nos um pouco sobre essa experiência ? momentos fodas,etc ??
Borela-TRÊS GRANDES TOURS PELA EUROPA(2005-2009-2010),TODAS COM CARACTERISTICAS E MOMENTOS UNICOS VIVIDOS,,MAS NITIDAMENTE O QUANTO AS COISAS FORAM MELHORANDO COMO A QUALIDADE DOS EVENTOS
ORGANIZADOS PARA NÓS, MOMENTOS FODAS TODOS OS FESTIVAIS EUROPEUS QUE TIVEMOS O PRAZER DE TER AS PORTAS ABERTAS,PODENDO REPRESENTAR A CENA AQUI DESTES LADOS, TER O CONTATO DIRETO COM PESSOAS E BANDAS QUE PARTICULARMENTE ME FIZERAM CHEGAR AQUI ONDE CHEGUEI.

11-Quais os próximos passos para a SOCIAL CHAOS ???
Borela-MANTER- C NA ATIVA,COMPONDO,ENSAIANDO, SAINDO PARA FAZER CONCERTOS SEMPRE, NOSSOS PASSOS RESISTIR PARA EXISTIR !!

12-And now the end....The end is near....It´s time to say ?????
Borela-DEIXAR UM SALVE AOS GRANDES COLABORADORES DA CENA, BANDAS, ZINES(VIRTUAIS OU DE PAPEL),SELOS,DISTROS,ORGANIZADORES DE GIGS,TODA REBELDIA DE PLANTÃO,NÃO SEI O QUE SERÁ DO FUTURO,VIVO MEU PRESENTE APRISIONADO AOS ERROS DE UMA SOCIEDADE BURRA,COM MENTALIDADE ULTRAPASSADA,
ESCREVO E GRITO CONTRA TODA ESTA FARSA QUE NOS RODEIA(ODEIO RODEIO TAMBEM),ESTAMOS NA AREA RESPIRANDO E VIVENDO DE VERDADE, ESTA PARADA DE C ALIENAR E ESPERAR A MORTE CHEGAR NÃO CONHEÇO....SOBRE O FUTURO TOD@S TEREMOS O QUE MERECEMOS.......SAUDE E SORTE SEMPRE !!!!!!!!!!

CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY - INTERVIEW 2011

Awesome Italian D-BEAT MOTORCHARGED METAL PUNX!!!
Now an interview made via myspace with the Deathlord Astuwulf,voices from this maniac noise machine called CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY!!!

VXPX=So,please,tell us a short history about CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY....
when was formed....how the forming members meet each other to form this awesome band?
and what most motivated you to form the band??
C.O.T.=The gangsters started to play in late 2007 as three-piece band. After 2 recording session our original guitarist left us and our current live-bass player switched to guitars. Adding his brother as solid bass-player, the C.O.T. become a real four-piece band to desecrate your ears. We decided to form a ban to express our passion for post-atomic stuff and old ’80 punk-metal music.

VXPX=Why CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY ??
C.O.T.=The name simply came from a song of mighty CARNIVORE (pre-TYPE O NEGATIVE), an unique band of the past ahead with their time having great aggression and innovative music with great politically-scorrect vibe, a thing that lot of band is missing nowadays playing poor useless tunes nearest to emo shit more than metal or crust as they describe.

VXPX=We can see many influences of metal and crust bands in your work like MOTORHEAD to DISCHARGE......
What are the biggest music influences from each C.O.T. members ??
Favorite bands.....
C.O.T.=Yeah you name the two big ones, but we take various influences from the gods of the past. Each of us share mor or less the same tastes, involving them into C.O.T. without a specific deadline. So from ATOMKRAFT to AMEBIX, from early DRILLER KILLER to ROGUE MALE, from VENOM to BROKEN BONES passing through ANTISECT, WARFARE, CELTIC FROST, GISM, earlySACRILEGE and ONSLAUGHT and the list continues…

VXPX=Who compose the songs ?? is it only one member making all ?? or do you make it in cooperation with all members ideas ??
C.O.T.=Clearly the guitarist Splatterhead and the drummer Goddess of Hammering Chaos are behind the songs, but equally also the singer Astwulf and bassist ThermoNuclearThrashard gives they strong contribute to C.O.T. style of course!!! So the songs are made up of great cooperation between all of us.

VXPX=Who writes the lyrics and how you in general seek inspirations to choose themes and write the lyrics ???
C.O.T.=Lyrics are all done by the singer, which takes inspiration by the song in itself adding a post-apocalyptic vision of the Earth inspired also by cult movies of the past and also new ones as Doomsday, The Road, 2012 that are quite cool and of great inspiration for lyrics.

VXPX=How is the scene in your area today ?? Tell us the cool bands,zines,distros there.....
and how is the places to play there ???
C.O.T.=Well… About the Metal scene here in Shitaly is falling down year after year. Too much big-headed no enjoyable at all followed by plastic retro-thrashers and wannabe metalheads having power only behind their facebook profile or behind gossip in forums. They’ ve lost the underground spirit time ago. This the reason we prefer the punk habitats cause we’ ve met much more friends over there and much more cool places to play. By the way we live in the middle, so you can see C.O.T. live in usual metal clubs or pubs but also in squats or illegal places as well!

VXPX=How dod you choosed the great artist CHANY from the amazing INEPSY to do the sleeve of your great album IT´S TIME TO FACE THE DOOMSDAY ???
C.O.T.=First of all we are great fan of Inepsy! More, we like a lot all his works and we choose him easily to do the cover of our single “Chaosmutant Hordes” and was great!!! Without thinking so much, we wanted him also for the album cover. The concept is ours and him has done a superfucking great work with the cover! Probably we will work again with him in future releases!

VXPX=I know that you played with brazilian metal punx WHIPSTRIKER ,can you tell us a little about it ???
C.O.T.=We didn’t played with them, but we all were at the shows!!! Victor and the guys are really cool guys and we spent a loud night of booze and music with them and Iron Fist dudes too… memorable night in Bologna!!! And we hope to go to Brazil and share the stage with them in the future…

VXPX=By the way what brazilian bands you know and you enjoy ?? from the past and today also,etc.............
C.O.T.=Woah do you need a list??? We are really die-hard fan of brazilian music… For example to name a few: SARCOFAGO, early SEPULTURA, SEXTRASH, DORSAL ATLANTICA, MUTILATOR, ATOMICA, ARMAGEDOM, EXPLICIT HATE, VULCANO, HOLOCAUSTO, early RATOS DE PORÃO, and new Power From Hell, APOCALYPTIC RAIDS, DIABOLIC FORCE, NUCLEAR FRÖST, BESTHÖVEN(of course!) and others…

VXPX=Tell us the discography of C.O.T and what are the news and upcoming works ???
C.O.T.=The C.O.T. discography is quite long even if the band has only 3 years of real existence and it consists of one demo, 4 splits, 2 singles a live dvd and an album… and we’ re working for a new split and a new single that will see the light this 2011…wait and see!!!

VXPX=AND NOW THE END....THE END IS NEAR....IT´S TIME TO SAY.........................
C.O.T.=It’ s to say “Thanx” to you Fofao for this interview!!! We will met surely in Italy and we hope to bring our nuclear rage to Brazilian maniacs sooner or later!!!

GO FILTH GO - INTEVIEW 2011

Now an interview with D-BEAT NOISE CRUSTIES GO FILTH GO!!! From Greece!!
They just released two new split EPS with BESTHÖVEN and ELECTRIC FUNERAL from Sweden...and are going to their first European tour.....

VXPX=So...let´s begin with a short history about the band...when was formed....what motivated you to start the band...etc....
GFG=The band was formed by two good friends, Maou and Dimitris, in winter 2008. Both of us really wanted to play in a raw d-beat punk band and that’s the reason we got together. We started rehearsing just the two of us and managed to create some songs. After a while we decided to make it a full band so we asked from our close friends, Thanos and Mike (a.k.a. Sam), to join in vocals and bass. And that was it. We begun practicing all together and wrote a bunch of songs that were recorded in November 2009 and used for our debut tape and two split 7”.

VXPX=Did the members played in other bands before? or are playing in others bands also? or projects...etc....
GFG=Yes they are. Dimitris, Mike and Thanos (that’s 3 out of 4 GFG members) play together in an old school black metal called BLACK TRINITY. Maou and Dimitris also play together in a noisecore band called MELANOCETUS MURRAYI and recently started practicing with a friend on a gore/grind project called ACTIVE STENOSIS. Maou plays drums in an ultra fast blasting hardcore band called PHINEAS GAGE.
Also he used to sing for crust/grinders TERRORISMO MUSICAL. Michael plays guitar in a crustcore band called DYSPNEA. That’s all for now. But perhaps new project pop out in the future. Also notice that all members on all these projects are friends!

VXPX=Why the name GO FILTH GO? what is the biggest reason you chose this name? and what you want to express with the name??
GFG=First of all it’s the name of a GORE BEYOND NECROPSY record and we love those fuckers (especially Maou, who is the one who thought about it)!!! It is also a great name because it is kind of unique, cool-sounding and differs from most names. We also like the meaning of it since we play filthy raw and noisy d-beat punk!!!

VXPX=What are your biggest influences? beyond DISCLOSE, etc...
GFG=Yeah, DISCLOSE is our biggest influence! Also bands like D-CLONE,SCATTER BRAINS,CONTRAST ATTITUDE,ELECTRIC FUNERAL, and of course classics like DISCHARGE,MOB 47 and BESTHÖVEN. Also noise of any kind! And true punk!

VXPX=Who writes the lyrics? and what are the most themes are you talking about today??
GFG=Thanos, our vocalist, writes most of the lyrics. It’s either his ideas or something we all thought about and he wrote. Our songs talk about things that trouble us in today’s society, such as state violence, oppression, new age slavery, environmental issues, the problem of racism and more. They talk about things we love or things we hate. Also about some more personal issues. About punk. And all that kind of stuff…

VXPX=Can you tell us what is the lyrics for the "Kawakami´s Nightmare" song??
GFG=It speaks of a world with no true punks & no alcohol! Haha… Of course we do it in a kind of funny way and with TOTAL respect to Kawakami!

VXPX=Your tape was released...so is this your first official release?? how many copies you did? and how is being the response about the tape??
GFG=Yes, “No espace from noise distruction” is our first release. It’s a pro-tape, we did 500 pieces and it’s going pretty well. Most of them are already sold. Anyone that is interested can contact us and get a copy. Two split 7” followed, one with BESTHÖVEN and one with ELECTRIC FUNERAL. One can get those from distros all around. We are going also to take part in a 4-way split 7” called “Victims” that will be released by Detonate records from Denmark and will feature ELECTRIC FUNERAL, EXITHIPPIES,FILTH MILITIA and us. We are also taking part in a 12” LP comp with 10 greek punk bands that is a benefit for political prisoners in Greece.
And more shit is still to come…

VXPX=We are doing a split ep soon also (with BESTHÖVEN) what do you can talk about this?? and what you expect from this DIS-SPLIT???
GFG=This will be our first split and we are very happy about it! We are REALLY excited! BESTHÖVEN is a great, long-lasting and dedicated band of the genre, so it’s our pleasure to do this split with you. It is also our first 7” so it is a big deal for us. We want about this split is to be released and distributed fast so that we share our noise with all people. Enjoy d-beat and noise!!!

VXPX=How is the scene in your area today?? bands? zines? labels? There’s a CRUST scene???
GFG=The greek punk scene is pretty nice. Music-wise there’s punk, hardcore, crust, grindcore, d-beat… and also some cool zines and labels to check out. Also some collectives that organize punk gigs and stuff. Most of our friends play in a band and most of them are good. So that’s a great thing.

VXPX=are you a DISCORE band?? what do you think about this theme.
GFG=We love d-beat! We love everything about it. We want to see bands play d-beat and do it with passion and dedication. And it doesn’t matter if there are a lot of them, as long as they are true and love what they do. And as a friend said:
Keep that d-beat rolling! Fuck the hype!

VXPX=DISCLOSE top ten songs to you are =
GFG=let’s say… tragedy / nightmare or reality / armed for killing / surrender / once the war started / mass death & destruction / fear of the nuclear age / just another warsystem / children not knowing peace / future extinction

VXPX=So, this is it....feel free to add anything else.....cheers!

WHIPSTRIKER (ENGLISH VERSION)

Coming soon ok???

WHIPSTRIKER - ENTREVISTA - 2011 (PORTUG)

Agora uma entrevista com o amigo Victor,mentor dessa fudida banda METAL PUNX do Rio de Janeiro WHIPSTRIKER!!
Eles acabaram de chegar de uma turnê pela Europa e também acabaram de lançar um LP ,sobre tudo isso e muito mais você pode conferir agora!!!
CRUDE ROCK´N´ROLL FUCKING RULES!!!

( NOTE = ENGLISH VERSION WILL BE HERE FUCKING SOON!!! )

01-Fale-nos um pouco sobre a história da WHIPSTRIKER....como começou,quando e o que mais o motivou a formar a banda ?? pelo que eu percebi a banda funciona quase que como uma “one man” também,estou certo ?? com membros temporários e etc....ou hoje a WHIPSTRIKER é uma banda com formação concreta ??
Victor: Primeiramente agradeço pela força e pelo espaço cedido aqui, valeu mesmo Fofão. O Whipstriker é uma banda recente, no sentido que só comecei a gravar materiais em 2009. Desde 2001 já tinha vontade de montar uma banda nessa linha, que misturasse punk, rock n roll e metal. Desde essa época venho compondo sons para o Whipstriker, várias músicas que gravei agora foram feitas em 2001, 2003. Assim, não posso lhe falar ao certo quando comecei. Um determinado momento eu tava cheio de música que nunca tinha usado em outras bandas minhas, ai decidi gravar. Como você disse, a banda funciona como “one man”. Eu curto esse esquema porque tenho mais flexibilidade pra tocar. Posso viajar pra outros estados e o produtor pagar minha passagem, porque é muito barato apenas uma passagem. Além disso, tenho mais liberdade pra colocar o que quiser nas músicas. Os materiais que lancei até agora são todos diferentes entre si e num sei se isso daria certo em uma banda com 3 ou 4 pessoas. O álbum é mais rock n roll, o EP é mais punk/rock n roll, a demo “midnight crust” é mais crust/metal, e a demo nova é totalmente crust e cantada em português. Acho legal poder tocar tudo o que eu quiser e mudar de estilo de material pro outro sem ninguém encher o saco.

02-Ouvindo seus trampos nota-se uma forte influência de bandas punks e metal ,ou METAL PUNX,o que você acha desse termo ? e quais são as bandas favoritas e principais influências ??
Victor: Sim, como disse procuro misturar tudo o que eu gosto nos sons. Minhas influências são tanto de rock n roll, quanto de punk e metal. De Rock, curto bandas como Thin Lizzy e UFO, acho demais essas bandas. No punk, curto mais as bandas tipo Discharge, Anti-Cimex, Crude SS, Doom, GBH, Black Uniforms e tudo que segue nessa linha. Já no metal curto mais os lances tipo Venom, Bathory, NME, Kreator, Voivod, Hellhammer etc. Enfim, num dá pra falar de tudo aqui, são muitas bandas boas de todos os estilos. Tenho ouvido muita banda mais nova também, sempre procuro os materiais recentes e tem muita banda boa atualmente. Posso citar aqui o Inepsy, Children of Technology, Kontatto, Toxic Holocaust, Last Legion Alive, Midnight, Nuclear Frost, Defy, Inferno na Terra, Apokalyptic Raids, Violator, Death From Above, Germ Bomb, Germ Attak, G.A.T.E.S., Distaste, mais um monte. Sobre o termo metalpunk, realmente não sei o que falar. Eu considero meu som metalpunk porque como disse misturo influencias desses dois estilos. Não sei como definir esse termo. Se for pra exemplificar com alguma banda, cito o Warfare. É punk ou metal? O Inepsy é punk, metal ou rock n roll? Fica a reflexão. Na verdade, isso não importa tanto. É só mais um rótulo. As pessoas adoram rotular e pra mim os rótulos muitas vezes servem mais pra discriminar do que para algo positivo. Quando você rotula você está classificando, dividindo por tipos, ou seja, discriminando. Ouça o som e leia as letras. Se curtir, não interessa o nome do estilo. Se o som te agrada e as letras condizem com suas idéias, é isso que importa.

03-Victor você é a peça central na banda né ? então todos os sons são compostos por você também ?? o que você procura narrar nas letras e como escolhe os temas ??
Victor: Assim como nos sons, as letras também variam. Por exemplo, a demo nova fala sobre a guerra civil que vivemos no Rio de Janeiro atualmente. Todas as letras seguem nessa linha. Os sons são em português, mas também coloquei um em inglês com a mesma temática no intuito de divulgar a idéia para pessoas do exterior também. A demo Midnight Crust mescla os assuntos. A maioria das letras são críticas às religiões como um todo. E uma letra, “under vigilance”, fala sobre a sociedade de controle que vivemos. O álbum Crude Rock n Roll fala mais sobre drogas. Então é mais ou menos isso, procuro mesclar os temas.

04-Você também tocou em outras bandas e projetos,estou certo ?? quais são eles ??
E diga-nos como rolou o incrível encontro com o TOXIC HOLOCAUST no qual você fez o baixo na turnê brasileira ??
Victor: Toco em outra banda de “Metalpunk (?)” chamada Atomic Roar desde 2003 e em uma banda de Thrash chamada Farscape desde 1998. Sobre o Toxic Holocaust, foi foda o bagulho. Fiquei muito feliz quando recebi o convite porque eu já era fã da banda desde e primeira demo. Fiz 3 shows com eles, dois em SP e 1 em Minas Gerais. Um dos shows de São Paulo foi filmado e lançado como DVD oficial. É um material muito legal, apesar de ter o defeito de não se conseguir ouvir o público. Hoje o Toxic Holocaust é uma big-band e dificilmente o Joel Grind tem tempo de responder meus e-mails. Sem problemas, considero esse cara um exemplo de dedicação ao underground e ao DIY. Na verdade fui bastante influenciado por ele nessa questão da banda “one-man”. Total apoio ao Joel !

05-E ainda o que pode dizer sobre os shows da WHIPSTRIKER em São Paulo ?? acho que vocês tocaram duas vezes lá ???.....as duas foram com o Thomas NUCLEAR FRÖST ?? fale-nos dessa união e de como foram os gigs ??
Victor: Sim, tocamos duas vezes em SP. Na primeira, fizemos um show na capital e um em Campo Limpo Paulista. Os dois foram legais. Na segunda vez tocamos com vocês do Besthoven e de quebra com várias bandas fodidas como Defy, Nuclear Frost, Armagedom, Social Chaos etc. Esse show sem dúvida foi o melhor que fizemos até porque era um grande evento. As duas vezes que toquei foi com a mesma formação, o Thomas na bateria e o Felipe Nizuma na guitarra. O Thomas eu conheci não faz tanto tempo, talvez tenha um ano e meio. Já estava trocando uns e-mails com ele sobre lave de shows no Rio e ai fiz o convite pra ele tocar uma gig em SP e ele topou. Foda pra caralho, porque o cara é gente finíssima e toca as pampas. O Felipe eu já conhecia desde 2002, já tocamos juntos várias vezes com nossas outras bandas de Thrash. Conheci o Felipe quando ele ainda tocava no Blasthrash, hoje ele toca no Braindeath que também e fodido.

06-E agora nos digam como foi a tour na Europa......momentos especiais......melhores shows....etc.. como foi tocar com bandas como CHILDREN OF TECHNOLOGY,etc......
Victor: A tour foi demais, total de 25 shows. Tocamos em vários squats que eu tinha muita vontade de conhecer, a exemplo do Köpi em Berlim que é absurdamente foda. Esse espaço é um exemplo de DIY, tudo muito organizado. De quebra ainda encontramos com o Caue do Social Chaos que está morando lá e o Ari do Facada, que também mora em Berlim. Todos os squats nos receberam muito bem, eles tem uma infra-estrutura muito legal. Locais pra dormir, comida e bebida de graça. Se for pra escolher o melhor show fico com o de Bologna na Itália. Foi no squat dos caras da Agipunk, os mesmos que organizaram a tour. Foi nesse show que conhecemos os caras do Children of Technology, infelizmente eles não tocaram, mas os 4 membros da banda estavam lá. Depois do show ainda ficamos por horas trocando idéia e bebendo. Outros shows como o de Berlim, Oslo e Chemnitz também foram irados. A Tour foi muito bem organizada pelos caras da Agipunk. Por isso não passamos nenhum perrengue. Eu fui preparado pra todos os perrengues, mas chegando lá foi tudo tranqüilo. Sempre tinha lugar pra dormir, comida e bebida. Perfeito. Todos os produtores deram um bom cachê nos shows. Com esse cachê conseguimos pagar todos os custos do aluguel da van e do backline, além da gasolina. Valeu a pena pra caralho. Recomendo a Agipunk pra todas as bandas que quiserem fazer um giro pela Europa. O Armagedom já viajou na van deles e provavelmente estão de prova disso que estou falando.

07-Antes da turnê vocês lançaram um split ep com a IRON FIST,diga-nos como foi essa parada ?
Victor: Eu estava procurando uma banda pra lançar um split e achei o Iron Fist. Os caras toparam gravar e foi isso. Enviamos pra algumas gravadoras e o pessoal da Bestial Invasion Recs da Escócia lançou esse material em 7´´EP Split. Depois eles fizeram essa tour com a gente e pudemos nos conhecer pessoalmente. Os caras são muito gente fina e devem vir ao Brasil em 2012 pra fazer uns shows.

08-Como foi o processo do LP de vocês ?? quem lançou ?? e o que mais pode adiantar sobre esse vinil ?? é uma comp. Com todos os trabalhos ?? ou é algo novo e exclusivo ?? dê a letra.....
Victor: Não. O LP é o álbum Crude Rock n Roll. Esse material já tinha saído em cd e tape. Ai consegui formar uma parceria entre gravadoras pra lançar em LP pra tour. São cinco gravadoras envolvidas: Deathstrike e Iron Bonehead da Alemanha, Cutthroat dos EUA, Morbid Tales do Brasil e Bestial Invasion da Escócia. Cada uma delas entru com uma grana e pegou uma porcentagem. Acho muito interessante o lance das parcerias. Vou sempre procurar fazer esse esquema nos próximos materiais.

09-Além do LP deixe aí a discografia da WHIPSTRIKER até o momento....e se puder diga-nos o que vem mais por aí.......próximos passos e planos para a banda........

- “Metalpunk´s not dead” 7´EP Split com Iron Fist
- “Crude Rock n Roll” álbum Cd, Tape e LP
- “Midnight Crust” demo tape
- “À porta, a guerra civil” demo tape

Próximos:

- 7´´EP split com Germ Bomb da Suécia.
- 7´´EP split com Besthoven, Nuclear Frost e Death From Above
- Tributo ao Discharge, com a faixa “Fight Back”
- “Álbum novo” – talvez grave ainda em 2011, depende da grana.


10-A banda também está no casting de nosso TRIBUTO “BRASILEIRO”AO DISCHARGE.....qual sua expectativa com esse lançamento ??
Victor: Expectativa total pra esse material. Primeiro por se tratar de uma homenagem a uma banda que todos nós curtimos muito. Segundo porque é um material que vai juntar várias bandas brasileiras que eu curto. Vamos aguardar, vai ser foda.

11-AND NOW THE END....THE END IS NEAR....IT´S TIME TO SAY………….
Victor: It´s time to say obrigado novamente pelo espaço cedido aqui. Pode contar com a gente aqui pro que precisar. VALEU!
