DISPOSE INTERVIEW 2012

And now V.P. Blog Zine is back!!! with my swedish brothers and defenders of D-beat DISPOSE !!! We did played in their city in our EUROPEAN DISASTER TOUR-2011 and these guys are really awesome!!! The portuguese version of this will be in VISUAL AGRESSION Zine from São Paulo city and from my brother Ricardo Chakal!!! So....enjoy this !!! enjoy DIS !!!!!
01-WELL,TELL US THE HISTORY OF DISPOSE,PLEASE...I KNOW THAT YOU STARTED LIKE A “ONE MAN BAND” ALSO......?? -Yeah started in 2007 after the very sad news..wanted to make a tribute....Recorded some demos like one man band!! I had previosly made some other one man army styled bands so the whole thing started like that,also I was moving to live in another city at that time so I couldnt really make it like real band anyway. But I moved back to here in 2008 and could succesfully form a real band at the end of that year,the reason to form a real band was to be able to play live.. also I felt like I didnt evolve in my playing skill doing it all alone,I wanted it to progress.. in example I couldnt even sing and play guitar at the same time when started the band,I had done vox in bands before and played drums & played guitar but not at the same time,and I wouldnt learn this from solo studio record only you know.. I wanted to learn the style of kawakami of course hehe..
02-WHY “ DISPOSE “ ?? -ahh many people ask this..No real reason except wanted to make a tribute to DISCLOSE by the name also..
03-MAIN INFLUENCES MUSICALLY AND LYRICS ALSO,WHAT YOU WANT TO EXPRESS WITH YOUR LYRICS? -Lyrics so far mainly been about anti-war,"all the aspects" of it,.. and anti nukes & nuclear power etc..but there are also lyrics against opression and war-like events like the elections in far less stable countries, and against bullshit authorities also..some lyric are anti-racism through anti-war,anti-state through anti-war, anti-religion through...etc..all aspects..i never write anti war song for cliche reason.. lyrics are mostly inspired by real life stories/events,war etc sometimes past events and future also..all lyrics are sort of filtered through a DISCHARGE/DISCLOSE/CIMEX/SHITLICKERS filter,it takes time to write even few short sentences this way,and alot of thought behind it also...
04-THE MEMBERS OF DISPOSE ARE INVOLVED ALSO WITH WORKS BEYOND DISPOSE,AM I RIGHT? LIKE ZINES,DISTROS ,OTHERS BANDS….?? -Yes Wille of DISPOSE is also in a punk band called UTBROTT this band with drummer of DISPOSE pukans girlfriend and other punks from here.. he is also in hardcorepunk band called AVSKYVÄRLD & another one called BIPÖLAR.these bands are not all so active maybe.. I also play drums for another rawpunk band called KRANIUM,and been doing some small distro stuff in here also over the years.I've got some stuff that I´m selling through our webs page. I used to do zine over 10 years ago which was alot of fun.but only made 2 issues from 96-99 his zine was called "inaktuellt" means like old news or something..there was interviews with DISCLOSE, WOLFPACk,KAAOS,TOTALITÄR,OUTLAST and more rawpunk and hc zine.. nowdays I make a DISCLOSE fanzite which is´nt really updated often since there are not so much news about DISCLOSE happening.. all members of DISPOSE are involved with setting up shows on our local space FG7 on some level,maybe wille is most active,he is so young and all haha...
05-TELL US ABOUT THE SCENE IN YOUR CITY ,PLEASE…. -well,as you know heres small city only..noise from nowhere,Lulea city is way up north in Sweden so it's bit isolated sometimes. here's small scene only, there are bands like KRANIUM,AVSKYVÄRLD,DODESKADEN,DICK TRACY,UTBROTT,BIPÖLAR,CHAOTIC DISORDER...not all these are so active maybe.. We have our own venue/house Called Fg7 its not a squat or anything, in Sweden there's no squats,so this place is rented for needs to pay the bills etc.. there are several rehersal rooms inside this small place as you might recall,not only punks reherse here so its bit mixed,which is not so bad really.. as I said not a squat but run kind of autonomiously which is great! in here 10 years ago such a place didn't exist,even the tought of it would have seem impossible almost.
06-WHAT YOU CAN TELL US ABOUT THE “EUROPEAN DISASTER TOUR 2011” WE MADE WITH KONTATTO and NOIA ,AND DID PLAYED TOGETHER WITH DISPOSE AND KRANIUM IN YOUR CITY ALSO….DID YOU ENJOYED THAT NIGHT ?? -yeah it was good fun,wish we could have played few more shows with you on this tour but not possible.. good memories of it,I played with KRANIUM and DISPOSE so it was slightly stressful, as I was also partly responsible for setting the show up.maybe DISPOSE gig was slightly chaotic and noisy ha! Also it's great to meet people you only talked with on the internet before,really cool and I enyoyed your show and also NOIA & KONTATTO!
07-I KNOW THAT YOU DID PLAYED GIGS IN GERMANY AS WELL,CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE GIGS ? IT WAS LIKE A SMALL TOUR ?? -Oh we played in Köpi squat in Berlin,stayed at toda's place..had good time drunk a little beer.. no tour only this gig..First we played W DISPOSE then we played bit later w KRANIUM..I think the KRANIUM Gig went better ..but it was hard to hear anything but drums and vox in that small stage and too crowded room,lots of people,lot of fun..just flied over there for one gig only.I stayed less then 20 hours in berlin and almost missed the return flight home..Thanx to Toda for this gig and releasing our split LP!,I hope we get back there play some more..
08-I KNOW THAT DISCLOSE IS A BIG INFLUENCE AND INSPIRATION IN YOUR WORK AS WELL,WHAT YOU CAN SAY ABOUT DISCLOSE AND THE IMPORTANCE THEY GIVE TO D-BEAT SCENE?? -Yes DISCLOSE is always source of inspiration in many ways..i've listen DISCLOSE since I was 15-16 years old,I was already into old stuff like CIMEX,etc before that. but I was so taken by the DISCLOSE sounds,some people thought DISCLOSE was already to much noise in that time which is really funny when you compare 90's DISCLOSE with 2000's style hehe..some 7" of DISCLOSE in 90's had some bad mastering which might have contributed to that idea, don't know,never really cared.. As for their importance I certainly think they helped sport the new wave of DIS NOISE bands out there,and also DISCLOSE never stopped keeping the true D-beat alive even as a hype changed or stuff like that..i must also say that i don't think people who say DISCLOSE was just a DISCHARGE clone truly understood DISCLOSE,I think DISCLOSE had their own sound which Kawakami explored and perfected through out his life..to me DISCLOSE is a really important band that I will always love! true D-beat raw punk!!
09-I KNOW THAT YOU ARE RECORDING AND RELEASE A LOT OF STUFFS ALSO!! CAN YOU TELL US WATH WILL BE THE NEXT RELEASES ?? -Yeah we try to release many stuff like DISCLOSE hehe..first release a bunch of cdr & tapes now we do some vinyls as well.. next up:split w BESTHÖVEN in 7", 12" HORROR REVIVAL on D&R rec,Split w SKITÖFRENIA in 7" + & possible CD with best of tracks from 2008-2010 to be released in next year.. so I hope..
10-WHAT IS YOUR VISION ABOUT BRAZILIAN SCENE ?? WHAT DO YOU KNOW AND ENJOY FROM BRAZILIAN SCENE = PAST AND TODAY ?? DO YOU ´D LIKE TO DO A TOUR HERE SOMEDAY ?? -Yes I like to go there some day,I get many questions from zines "do you want to come here to play?" Spain,Costa Rica,France etc..off course the answer is yes... my vision of past Brazil is good bands I like as: PSIKOZE,OLHO SECO,LOBOTOMIA,CÓLERA,INOCENTES,R.D.P ,ARMAGEDOM..etc..I'm thinking past Brazils more violent and crazy,gangs and fightings and not to easy to organize gigs maybe.. I think now is more easy and united scene,less dangerours?? good stuff I like except your works,are DEATH FROM ABOVE,WHIPSTRIKER,DESASTRE,CHAKA etc these are the ones comes to mind now,I know there's a lot more..
11-TOP FIVE BEST D-BEAT RECORDS OR BANDS OF YOUR LIFE ?..... -Difficult to choose only five..but I must say DISCLOSE obviously/any record..& DISCHARGE early 7"s & why? 12"! ANTI-CIMEX early 7"s,DISARM(old swedish band not new band..)SHITLICKERS..but there's so many more I love.. CRUDE SS,AVSKUM,SVART PARAD,OSLAUGHT,DIATRIBE,ICONOCLAST,MG 15,FADER WAR,LOBOTOMIA LP from -86 ,MEANWHILE,DISSOBER, etc..all Ka-kamis favorite bands really..just copy and past his best of list.there you go...
12-WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT CLASSIC SWEDISH BANDS FROM 80´S ?? LIKE SHITLICKERS,AVSKUM,CIMEX,BEDROVLERZ,FEAR OF WAR,CRUDE S.S…… -They are all great bands and I love them as well,most of the bands you mentioned I listen a lot to when I was a teenager,and still do... many of them been ispiration to me in KRANIUM, and also in DISPOSE too..I played "spräckta snutskallar" cover in KRANIUM in -97,this was before I started play drums in KRANIUM etc. long time favorites i'm shure you understand it as well!!
13-DISCLOSE BEST RECORDS AND SONGS ….??? -All records are really great to me in their own way..but some favorites songs are "Conquest" and "Nuclear explosion" from TRAGEDY LP,these are total classic as the whole LP is.

DARGE INTERVIEW-2012


Now an interview with my friend Rafael ,a Brazilian guy living in Japan…for years and years in the scene and working a lot with their bands,label,etc…..This is an interview with DARGE but this goes beyond of course!! Rafael talk about your works in Japan,DARGE,N.E.K. and KARASU KILLER records!!!
And I´d like to say that this interview will be soon in MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL magazine!!

01-Well,Rafael,I´d like that you beguin this talking about your history into the scene…When you moved to Japan and how is the scene in Gifu city also how DARGE was formed?

Rafael: When I arrived here in 2004 I had without any knowledge of where to find a scene Punk / Hardcore, to be honest I had no idea that the city peoples organized gigs in the beginning until I met a local took time! Today I wonder if it had been the first city I lived, I would not really know anything!
The beginning of all was the Nomares was a punk rock band formed in 2005 only by Brazilians, started playing in gigs organized by Brazilian community and sharing the stage with cover bands!!! At that time I had not any idea about the Japanese scene.
The same year I saw a note on the internet that Boka of the Ratos de Porão would be coming to Japan with VitaminX, I informed about the place, was really the first underground gig. That day I met also Answer Record Shop was the first strong contact! I distribute a bunch of demos from there I know the Japanese involved in the scene, working hard, when I came here I could not speak Japanese! But the desire to make this exchange Brazil / Japan was stronger!

I continued playing with Nomares and Steel Injecting a heavy metal band that I joined to play later. In 2006 and 2007 shared the stage with many Japanese bands Nice View, Flash Gordon, Unholy Grave, Mind Of Asian Vivisick, Disgust,Darge and at that time was doing the last presentation for the bassist and drummer were to leave the band, like Oze Darge (guitar / vocals) knew me, he made the invitation for me to play bass, I accepted even though the difficulties of communication , but then thought it would be an interesting band with two nationalities in the same week he invited the drummer Shinnosuke at that time was in J.U.U.M., so complete was the new furious lineup of Darge!

This time that was not reconciling over anything in my life, working 12 hours in a factory and still rehearsing with three bands, was hard!

The Nomares lasted about three years, and ended in early 2008, I was in the band Injecting Steel about 2 years and left the band at the same time that I finished with Nomares.
I kept playing with Darge and in a time later in 2008 formed the N.E.K!
Today I still in Darge and N.E.K. What were the two bands that mix Brazil / Japan, both bands following in intensity chaotic, rehearsing, playing in Japan and beyond, recording and releasing several materials !!!

First, Darge is a band formed in Gifu province, and we always represent it, although I live in Nagoya and Shinnosuke in Mie province, we represent Gifu Grind Hell.
One scene I found many good people, humility, simplicity and friendship! I learned to respect people from the moment it emerged that the first crap, disagreements at the scene of Nagoya, I was more active at the time.


02-Beyond DARGE We know that you are the Singer in N.E.K. also,Tell us about this also…Wich are the principal differences between both bands? And why the name of band is in Spanish language? What are the next steps and news?

Rafael: N.E.K. and Darge are different, in question of the music

N.E.K. Niños En Kombate is in Spanish language, in english the name means children in Combat and in japanese is 幼き兵士達 (Osanaki Heisi) in portuguese Crianças em Combate. we grow and we live in this constant battle for survival, need to work , to have our things and sustain our families, etc. 混沌の兵士!!!! Children that living in a eternal Combat.

We started the band in December 2007 when Rafael( ex-Nomares and former Darge bassist) contacted Maurício who was also past member of Nomares,to start a new band that could sound like Brazilian old punk.
The band needed one more piece to take care of the band´s beats, as they had always been participating in the Nagoya punk & hardcore scene, it took only a few days to find a drummer.
Naito- san (ex-Out of Touch, Atrocity Exhibition, Nausea,Unholy Grave and former C.F.D.L ),joined the band with his ultra-fast Japanese style to combine with Brazilian punk screams and the metallic sound of a thrash-fan guitarist.

The band began with Rafael (vocals), Maurício (guitar), Raphael Mini (bass) and Naito (drums), when the Brazilian left the band in 2009 and 2010, in the bass joined Ozarin Flash Gordon and he left the band in 2010. Currentlymembers Iwane on guitar (Ex-Zilemma) and on bass Fukuchi (Speed Ball)
Remnants of the original line-up Rafael (vocals) and Naito (drums).

Soon will be released the new 7'EP titled"Dekavermes" (DEKA: migrant workers /VERMES: parasitic worm)
DEKAVERMES means malicious Brazilian migrant workers. I named those people who come over to Japan to make troubles, commit crimes and drag down each other between friends DEKAVERME. Totally opposite to the migrant people who have been living and working honest lives.

N.E.K. "Dekavermes" 7"EP Em breve!!! (Too Circle/GivePraise/KarasuKiller)
D.F.C. / N.E.K. Combate Caótico CD "the legend says that one day will be released"

We are writing and working hard for a new album next year!!!


03-Tell us about the current line up of DARGE....Are you still with the origianl line up from 2004? The other members are also playing in others bands?

Rafael: No, Darge started in 2004, the guys played in Japan, released a demo and participated in a V / A, but always changing bassist and drummer, in fact the original formation Oze said that today, Oze (guitar / vocals), Raphael (bass / vocals) and Shinnosuke (drums) that began in earnest even!
The Oze currently only dedicate in Darge, as I wrote above I am part of the NEK and Shinnosuke play drums in a band from Gifu called Jubilee, Gothic Punk with female vocals!!!!

04-Tell us a little about your álbum “ÓDIO” wich was released in Brazil…How was the process and the contacts with the labels and are you satisfied with the divulgation of this one? I mean the final result,etc….
Rafael: Most bands that come to Japan to touring, bring materials or release here to sell on the tour, that most of them are tour version materials containing various stages of the band, music compilations, Album, EP, etc. .. Our idea was that it also bring this idea to Brazil, since most of our albums were released here, then select the music from 2007 to 2010 and released the "憎 悪 (zouo) - Ódio-Hate."

Most of the labels I had by my contact with the Karasu Killer Records, then a while before we go to Brazil I contacted various brazilian labels . It was launched on labels from different locations, that was my intention to spread the CD in Brazil, except for the Karasu Killer (Japan), participated in the CD following Brazilian labels, Balboa Discos (São Paulo), Nausearréia Recs (Tocantins), Úlcera Brutal Records (Santa Catarina), Xaninhos Discos Falidos (Belém), Massive Records (Goiás), Parayba Records (Rio de Janeiro) e Overall Records (Rio Grande do Sul).

I think this release was great because many knew our music through this CD, I really have very few copies here, I believe that the distribution in Brazil by local labels was good also !


05-Rafa how was to you,to be back in Brazil doing a tour?? How many gigs did you played here? And how about the possibility to back and do another tour in Brazil again?

Rafael: Really no words, there were 7 years that I was living in Japan without going back to Brazil, this marked the same back when I was children I told family and closest friends, "I will go to Japan and back with my band to play here in Brazil "Done.

There were nine concerts that have gone through Florianópolis, Porto Alegre, Águas Lindas, Goiânia, São Paulo, Vista Alegre do Alto, Indaiatuba, São Paulo e São Caetano do Sul.

From Nagoya to Frankfurt Germany, Frankfurt to Sao Paulo total 32 hours, we arrived in Sao Paulo morning 6am, as always much delay we were leaving there about 9am, it went to the home of Cherry (Hellsakura), time zone, crazy stay up at night because we would get the bus to Floripa and would be the beginning of our adventure!

Floripa on a Wednesday, scroll through the city, beer on the Joaquina's beach , Platforma Rock Bar, rediscovering old friend of Japan, knowing many others, was so mad that I went to unwrap the plastic of my bass case on 10 min before our show, without words about the staff there, the show was crazy it was a guy who could punch the ground, tell you what I thought too brutal to play on the Floripa island!

No sleep, and early in the morning we went to Porto Alegre by bus on a Thursday, sleepy, anarcho punk , incredible peoples, we made great friends, Entre Bar, I drunk 2 liters of wine a punk gave to me , folks wanting information about bands from Japan and I pretty crazy, really surprised South of Brazil, a place I want to come back soon! aahh I was forgetting the X!

Friday morning we took a flight to Brasilia, arriving summer heat, Indião, Romulo, Romario and a van from the city to take us to the Parque da Barragem/Aguas Lindas!!!!
Was great experience for us, more for the Japanese to know that each place is different in Brazil, mainly to see the whole scheme that the people there made on the Gol de Ouro, and need to mention the bus that came from Brasilia, Barbosa and cia! Drunk Ypioca and almost falling asleep at the time the show was a screaming Jaspion, others jumped and clung on the frames of the shed, it was crazy, people wanting to exchange ideas, charisma, it was fucking show! The next day Saturday, Brasilia D.C

From Brasilia follow to Goiania , we find there Mingau (Death from Above), was already almost a week without sleep! We get a day off to recharge their energy, and on Sunday we went to the Capim Pub which was the most insane show I did in my life, shared the stage with WxCxM, Death From Above, Terror Revolucionário and Desastre, unforgettable! The next day we went to São Paulo, we give a few days off, and on Wednesday played with Speed Kills, Nuclear Frost and Noise Punk Bastards of the Unfit Scum, we did a great friendship that resulted in the 4 way is Destruction II, SCCP SP was good show, even though many people came out early because the train or who knows what!
The next day I went to the inside of Vista Alegre and play in an event organized by my old friends, because that day was perfect rediscovered my family, really sno words, ... the force that was needed!

The next day we went to Indaiatuba, where neither the organizer showed up, battery, microphone? had to borrow the last hour, mostly people were drinking in the street and not even paid attention to the bands gig, just entered the bar to buy beer, fuck it!

We played with great bands and people who came to see us, and that is what matters and in the morning we left for Sao Paulo and playing the penultimate show of the tour which would be the Tribute to Olho Seco, nice gig organized by Cherry (Hellsakura), was very anxious because we were going to play with Invasores de Cerebros of Ariel (Restos de Nada), Lobotomia and Hellsakura band that met the guys line up with the Japanese in 2009 and not with the brazilian line up! It was this very special show at the Hangar110 as it could regain a lot of friends who lived in Japan, because the crisis had to come back!
Did not want to end the tour, much less have to go back to Japan, but we went to Sao Caetano do Sul, Cidadão do Mundo to play the last show, ABC, Borella Social Chaos, Gepeto Ação Direta, DZK Barata, Juventude Maldita, and many friends!!!

If I write here all the people who know it would be a giant list, most of the places that I was the first time, made many friends and saw that Brazil is fucking awesome!
It could be here telling stories and more stories about this Brazilian tour, but to summarize, it was insane!

I really want to return to Brazil with Darge again, everything will depend on the Japanese, so finding a free time to travel! We love Brazil!

06-Brazilian/Japanese evil raw thrash metalic crust hardcore punk!! Wich are your favorite bands and influences? And what was the reason to choose the name “DARGE” ?


Rafael: Quote names of bands here is difficult, but some that are active and I really like are Unholy Grave, Disgust, Eternal Elysium, Coffins, and more!
Each band member has a different taste, I listen very old grindcore, punk, hardcore, Thrash, Death, Black Metal, Doom, Stoner, Sludge and classic, Oze like the SDS (Societic Death Slaughter) and European Hardcore and many other hardcore punk bands, Shinnosuke hear some crazy I do not really know! Each of us has different styles, I think this mixture makes the Darge is, I do not know why, but we have fun! Funny that people comment on the gig and we are trying to figure out what style!
This helps us to not get stuck in one particular scene, we are always playing with the peoples of HC Punk and Metal, sometimes with the staff of melodic hardcore and pop punk, and so on, I guess I should not have this separation exists in many places.
About the name Darge was the Japanese who put and have no meaning, tell him not to arrest anybody the name.

07-We know that you are really acitive in the scene,beyond DARGE and N.E.K.
Do you have also the label KARASU KILLER ,Tell us a little about your label,lãs releases and upcoming also?
Rafael: The Karasu Killer was born in 2006, releasing material at the beginning of Brazilian bands in Japan, despite all the difficulties there are in a relentless struggle to show good bands. Today not only Brazilian bands from other countries as well.
Today I have great partners, thus having a greater distribution of our materials, and speaking a little Japanese also greatly facilitates the work!
The scene in Japan is very organized and all very intense, everything happens, it is wavering back, the thing is have the will power and make it happen!

Though today it is difficult to make any month releases, many are not interested, that is we are working hard for those interested in our materials!
The latter release was 4 Way for Destruction II CD e o Defy/Terror Revolucionário split 7'EP
For 2012 The Black Coffins / Infamous Glory split CD, NITAD "Samlad Värld" CD,N.E.K. "Dekavermes"7'EP, Social Chaos 革命の息 Revolutions Breath + Alive in Finland + The End EP CD,O Mito da Caverna s/t CD,and much more!!!!

In the USA I have partnership with Give Praise that distribute my releases and In Brazil now I have partnership with Equivokke Records my friend Filipe Freitas from São Paulo, together we are working hard for next year release good stuffs!

08-I take the CD “4 Way for Destruction II” ,And this is really nice! Tell us a little about this work about the bands,the idea to use the great artist Murilo (UNFIT SCUM) for do the artsleeve also….the CD will have a vynil edition also??

Rafael: On tour in 2010 with Darge I knowed Death from Above and Unfit Scum, who were one of those bands that caught our attention, when I back to Japan and continued contact, as I had in 2009 released the 4 Way For Destruction (Darge, Encroached, Massacre em Alphaville, under the ruins) was the idea to release in 2011 vol.2.
At the end of 2010 I invited the guys from Brazil to participate in this V / A, as confirmed at the same time our great friends of Disgust from Nagoya, so we started the project in early 2011 to release in August in Brazil and Japan without any delay!

Two great artists who I did friendship Jef, who did the beautiful cover of the Darge DVD, and Murilo who made the art of the 4 Way for Destruction II, and the result is there for all to see, great job.

We are working on the vinyl 12' version 4 Way for Destruction II, I believe it will come out in 2012.
Participate in this release Karasu Killer Recs Japan, USA Give Praise and some label from Brazil, Equivokke Recs,Ultra Violence Recs, Lazybones Recs and maybe Australia! What I can say now is this, Soon I will have more informations!


09-When I think about Japan in sametime I remember my old friend Kawakami,That always was helping bands from Brazil and all the world also…and to me specially for that years and years of friendship….

Rafael: We remember Kawakami san with great respect, was a guy who did a lot of noise and did much for the Japanese scene, surely essential.

10-DARGE artsleeve are great also! How comes the ideas to do the sleeves? How do you choose the artist and who is doing your arts nowadays?

Rafael: When we have the lyrics, our message, we decide tittle and have the idea for the cover! We don't ike to copy anything from anyone!
About art, Desespero 7'EP was the first work of actual line up, I did with some collage art, characters, terrorists, whores, manic, atrocities, and things of everyday Japanese conservative society that sometimes I stressed!
The cover of Desespero and "憎 悪 (zouo) - Ódio" CD was the Napalm (Hellsakura), 4WayForDestruction Thiago (D.E.R.) and the last two works released the cover of "憎 悪 - Ódio" Brazil Tour 2010 DVD was made by Jefferson Pizone (Unfit Scum / Helvetin Viemärit) and cover 4 Way for Destruction II CD / LP by Murilo Pommer (Unfit Scum)
Today who are drawing our covers is a Japanese friend Shunsuke (G.I.D), he make the arts of Karasu Killer Records, always make flyers of my gigs, cover the last 7'EP N.E.K., and some others like the cover of an LP See You in Hell "attack" that was released in the United States, Equivokke Recs logo, and many others!

12-And now the end....The end is near.....It´s time to say…………….
Rafael: Thanks Fofão my brother for this interview!!! Much respect you!!!
Thanks to all that have supported and helped us! anyway we will be eternally grateful for you! And Who does not like the band can be sure that will not make any difference in our lives!

DARGE (PORTUG)


E agora uma entrevista com o amigo Rafael,brasileiro vivendo no Japão...por anos e anos trabalhando sem parar dentro da cena underground com suas bandas,seu selo,etc....Esta é uma entrevista com a DARGE mas vai além ainda!! Rafael fala sobre seus outros trampos também no Japão como a banda N.E.K. e seu selo KARASU KILLER!!!
E lembrando que a versão em inglês desta estará em breve na MAXIMUM ROCKNROLL magazine!!

01-Primeiramente Rafael,gostaria que você falasse um pouco de sua trajetória dentro da cena,de quando chegou ao Japão,de como é a cena em Gifu e como o DARGE foi formado?

Rafael: Quando cheguei aqui em 2004 eu não tinha nenhuma noção de onde poderia encontrar uma cena Punk/Hardcore, para falar a verdade eu não tinha idéia em que cidades o pessoal organizava as gigs, no começo até eu conhecer locais demorou um tempo! Hoje eu imagino, se tivesse ficado na primeira cidade que morei, eu não iria conhecer realmente nada!
O começo de tudo foi o Nomares, era uma banda de punk rock formada 2005 somente por brasileiros, iniciamos as atividades tocando em gigs organizadas por brasileiros, dividindo palco com bandas covers!!! Nessa época ainda não tinha noção nenhuma sobre a cena japonesa.
No mesmo ano vi uma nota na internet que Boka do R.D.P. estaria vindo para o Japão com o VitaminX, nisso me informei sobre local, foi realmente o primeiro role!!! Nesse dia conheci a Record Shop Answer tbem que foi o primeiro contato forte! Pela distribuição das minhas demos que fui conhecendo os japoneses envolvidos na cena, se virando como podia pois quando cheguei aqui não sabia falar nem obrigado em japonês! Mas a vontade de fazer esse intercâmbio Brasil/Japão foi mais forte!

Segui tocando com o Nomares e o Injecting Steel banda de heavy metal que entrei para tocar um tempo depois. Em 2006 e 2007 dividimos palco com muitas bandas japonesas Nice View, Flash Gordon, Unholy Grave,Mind Of Asian Vivisick, Disgust, e o Darge que nessa época estava fazendo as ultimas apresentações pois o baixista e o baterista estavam para sair da banda, como o Oze Darge (guitar/vocal) já me conhecia, ele fez o convite para eu tocar baixo, aceitei mesmo sabendo das dificuldades de comunicação, mas por outro lado pensando que seria interessante uma banda com duas nacionalidades, na mesma semana ele convidou Shinnosuke para asumir a batera que nessa época estava no J.U.U.M., assim estava completa a nova formação furiosa do Darge!

Chegou uma época que não estava conciliando mais nada na minha vida, trabalhando12 horas numa fábrica e ainda ensaiando com três bandas, era foda!
O Nomares durou uns 3 anos,e terminou no começo de 2008, Injecting Steel fiquei na banda uns 2 anos e sai na mesma época que terminou o Nomares.
Continuei no Darge e um tempo depois em 2008 formei o N.E.K.!
Nos dias de hoje continuo no Darge e no N.E.K. que foram as duas bandas que misturamos Brasil/Japão, ambas seguem na intensidade caótica , ensaiando,tocando no Japão e fora, gravando e lançando vários materiais por ae!!!

Primeiramente o Darge é uma banda formada em Gifu, e a gente sempre representa isso, apesar que eu moro em Nagoya e o Shinnosuke em Mie, a gente representa Gifu Grind Hell.
Uma cena que encontrei muita gente boa, humildade, simplicidade e amizade! Eu aprendi a respeitar o pessoal de la a partir do momento que surgiram as primeiras tretas, desavenças na cena de Nagoya, que eu estava mais ativo na época.

02-Além da DARGE sabemos que você também vocaliza a banda N.E.K.,Conte-nos um pouco sobre a mesma,quais principais diferenças entre as duas bandas? Porque o nome da N.E.K. é em espanhol? E quais os próximos passos e novidades?
Rafael: N.E.K. e Darge são bandas diferentes em questão de som, difícil explicar!

N.E.K. Niños En Kombate é em espanhol, em Inglês Children in Combat e em japonês 幼き兵士達 (Osanaki Heisi) em português Crianças em Combate. Nós crescemos e vivemos nesta batalha constante pela sobrevivência, precisamos trabalhar, ter as nossas coisas e sustentar nossas famílias, etc 混沌 の 兵士!! Eternas crianças que vivem em combate.

Começamos a banda em dezembro de 2007, eu estava em atividades com o Darge e em breve para sair do Nomares , convidei o Maurício (ex-Nomares) para começar uma nova banda com um som que soasse mais Brazilian old punk.
A banda precisava de mais um membro para cuidar da batera, não demoramos muito e alguns dias depois conhecemos o Naito, como sempre estava nos roles convidamos ele, mas só depois fomos ter a noção de quem a gente convidou para formar uma banda!!! Um cara com tanta banda nas costas e milhões de histórias para contar, algumas que ele ja tocou, Nausea,C.F.D.L.,Unholy Grave, Gibbed, Out Of Touch entre muitas outras…
Foi o que faltava batera ultra rápida para se misturar com os gritos de ódio do Punk Brasileiro, e o som da guitarra vindo de um fan de Thrash.

A banda iniciou com Rafael (Vocal), Maurício (guitarra), Raphael Mini (baixo) e o Naito (bateria), com a saída dos brasileiros da banda em 2009 e em 2010, passaram pela banda baixo ex Flash Gordon Ozarin e com a saída dele em 2010. Atualmente na guitarra Iwane (Ex-Zilemma) e no baixo Fukuchi (Speed Ball).Remanescentes da formação original Rafael (vocal) e Naito (bateria)

Logo será lançado o novo 7'EP entitulado "Dekavermes"Dekaseguis são trabalhadores estrangeiros residentes no Japão, na sua maioria trabalham e têm uma vida honesta e os Dekavermes são idiotas, imbecis, desonestos, mentirosos que vêm para o Japão cometer roubos,furtos,brigas,atividades ilegais em geral,assassinatos, atrocidades e mais atrocidades… Sujando o nome dos estrangeiros honestos

Estamos compondo e trabalhando forte para um novo album em breve!

03-Fale-nos da formação da DARGE atualmente....ainda é a formação original de 2004 ? e se SUS membros tocam em outras bandas,se sim quais?
Rafael: Não, o Darge iniciou as atividades em 2004, os caras tocavam pelo Japão, lançaram uma demo e participaram de um V/A, sempre trocando de baixista e baterista, na verdade a formação original o Oze considera essa de hoje, por que a partir dessa formação Oze (guitar/vocal), Rafael (Bass/vocal) e Shinnosuke(drums) que começou pra valer mesmo!!!
O Oze atualmente só se dedica ao Darge, eu como escrevi acima faço parte do N.E.K. e o Shinnosuke toca bateria em uma banda de Gifu chamada Jubilee, esquema meio Gothic Punk saca com uma mina no vocal!!!

04-Como ocorreu o esquema para o álbum “ÓDIO” ser lançado no Brasil ? Como foi os contatos com os selos que cooperaram ? e como foi a divulgação do mesmo ? está satisfeito com o resultado final ?
Rafael: A maioria das bandas que vem excursionar pelo Japão lançam materiais para vender na turnê, nessa grande maioria são materiais exclusivos contendo varias fases da banda, musicas compilações,Album, EP etc.. Nisso nossa idéia foi essa também, levar esse esquema para o Brasil, pois a maioria dos nossos álbuns foram lançados aqui, entao selecionamos as musicas de 2007 até 2010 e lançamos o “憎悪 (zouo) – Ódio”.

A maioria dos selos eu já tinha contato pelos meus trampos com o Karasu Killer, então um tempo antes da gente ir para o Brasil eu entrei em contato com vários selos e fiz o convite. Foi lançado por selos de diversas localidades, essa foi minha intenção, espalhar o CD pelo Brasil, com exceção ao Karasu Killer (Japão), participaram do CD os seguintes selos brasileiros, Balboa Discos (São Paulo), Nausearréia Recs (Tocantins), Úlcera Brutal Records (Santa Catarina), Xaninhos Discos Falidos (Belém), Massive Records (Goiás), Parayba Records (Rio de Janeiro) e Overall Records (Rio Grande do Sul).

Acho que essa divulgação foi ótima pois muitos conheceram nossa música através desse CD, eu realmente tenho pouquíssimas cópias aqui, acredito que os selos no Brasil tenham distribuído esse material por ai também!

05-Como foi voltar ao Brasil para uma turnê ?? Quantos shows tocaram por aqui ? pode-nos descrever quais momentos foram mais marcantes durante esta turnê ? E também se há a possibilidade de voltarem para uma nova turnê em terras brasilis ???
Rafael: Realmente sem palavras, havia 7 anos que estava vivendo no Japão sem voltar para o Brasil, essa volta marcou mesmo, quando eu era muleke falei para família e amigos mais próximos, "irei para o Japão e voltarei com minha banda para tocar aqui no Brasil" Feito.

Foram nove shows que passaram por Florianópolis, Porto Alegre, Águas Lindas, Goiânia, São Paulo, interior Vista Alegre do Alto, Indaiatuba, São Paulo e São Caetano do Sul.

De Nagoya para Frankfurt Alemanha, de Frankfurt para São Paulo total umas 32 horas, chegamos em São Paulo de manhã 6am, como sempre muita demora fomos sair de lá umas 9am, de la fomos para a casa da Cherry(Hellsakura), fuso horário louco ficamos acordado até a noite, pois iríamos pegar o busão para Floripa e seria o começo da nossa aventura!

Floripa em uma quarta feira, role pela cidade,cerveja na praia da Joaquina, Plataforma Rock Bar, reencontrando velho amigo de Japao, conhecendo muitos outros, loucura foi tanta que eu fui de desembrulhar os plásticos enrolados no meu baixo uns 10 min antes da nossa apresentação, sem palavras sobre o pessoal de lá, show foi doido que tinha um cara que dava soco no chão, digo uma coisa achei brutal demais tocar na ilha!

Sem dormir, e logo pela manhã seguimos para Porto Alegre de busão, em uma quinta feira, com sono, galera anarco punk, pessoal incrível, fizemos grandes amigos, Entre Bar, tomei mais de 2 litros de vinho que uma mina punk me deu, galera querendo informações de bandas do Japão e eu bem louco, realmente o Sul me surpreendeu demais, um lugar que quero voltar em breve! aahh estava me esquecendo do X !!! lanche gigante mano!!!

Sexta feira de manhã pegamos um vôo para Brasilia,chegando lá calor infernal, Indião, Romulo, Romario e uma van da prefeitura para nos levar até o parque da barragem, juro que pra gente foi uma experiência fudida, mais para os japas de sacar que cada lugar do Brasil é diferente, principalmente ver todo o esquema que o pessoal de lá armou no Gol de Ouro, sem contar um busão de Brasilia que veio lotado, Barbosa e cia!
Tomando Ypioca e quase caindo de sono, na hora do show um ficava gritando Jaspion, outros pulavam e se agarravam nas armações do barracão, foi muito louco, pessoal querendo trocar idéia, carisma total, show foi foda! No dia seguinte sábado fomos Brasilia "conhecer essa tal de mordomia!".

De Brasilia seguimos para Goiania, lá encontramos o Mingau (Death from Above), busão quebrou quando chegou na entrada da rodoviária! Ja estávamos a quase uma semana sem dormir!!! Ficamos um dia de folga para repor as energias, e no domingo fomos fazer no Capim Pub o que foi o show mais insano que fiz em toda minha vida, dividimos palco com WxCxM, Death From Above, Terror Revolucionario e o Desastre, inesquecível! No dia seguinte partimos para São Paulo, dai ficamos uns dias de folga, e na quarta feira tocamos por lá mesmo junto com Speed Kills, Nuclear Frost e os Noise Punk Bastards do Unfit Scum, que fizemos uma grande amizade que resultou no 4 way for destruction II, CCPC em SP foi foda, apesar que muitas pessoas saíram fora cedo por causa de trem ou sei lá o que!
No dia seguinte eu fui para o interior Vista Alegre e tocar em um evento organizado por amigos das antigas, foi perfeito pois nesse dia reencontrei minha família, realmente sem palavras, choro, saudades… era a força que precisava!

No dia seguinte seguimos para Indaiatuba, onde nem o organizador apareceu por la, bateria, microfone? tivemos que emprestar de ultima hora, as pessoas na sua maioria ficavam na rua bebendo e nem sequer davam atenção para as bandas da gig, só entravam no bar para comprar cerveja mesmo, foda-se! Tocamos com grandes bandas e para as pessoas que entraram para prestigiar, e isso é o importa e de madruga partimos para São Paulo e tocar o penúltimo show da turnê o que seria o Tributo ao Olho Seco bela gig organizada pela Cherry(Hellsakura), estava muito ansioso pois iríamos tocar com Invasores de Cerebros do Ariel , Lobotomia e Hellsakura banda que os caras conheceram com o line up japonês em 2009 e nao com a formação brasileira!!! Foi muito especial esse show no Hangar pois la pude reencontrar muitos amigos que viviam no Japão, que devido a crise tiveram que voltar!

Não queríamos finalizar a tour e muito menos ter que voltar para o Japão, mas no dia seguinte seguimos para São Caetano do Sul, Cidadão do Mundo, para tocar o ultimo show, ABC, Borella Social Chaos, Gepeto Ação Direta, Barata DZK, Juventude Maldita, e uma galera responsa!
Se for escrever aqui todas as pessoas que conhecemos, seria uma lista gigante, a maioria dos lugares que fui foram todos a primeira vez, fiz muitas amizades e vi que o Brasil é foda demais!
Poderia ficar aqui contando histórias e mais histórias sobre essa turne brasileira, mas resumindo, foi insano!!!

Eu quero muito poder voltar para o Brasil com o Darge novamente, tudo dependerá dos japoneses, assim que encontrarem um tempo livre para viajar!!! Nós gostamos muito do Brasil!

06-Brazilian/Japanese evil raw thrash metalic crust hardcore punk!! Quais são suas principais influências e bandas favoritas ? e ainda qual o porque de terem escolhido o nome “DARGE” ?
Rafael: Citar nomes de bandas aquí é difícil, mas as que estão na ativa hoje e que gosto muito são Unholy Grave, Disgust, Eternal Elysium, Coffins e muitas outras!
Cada membro da banda tem um gosto diferente, eu escuto muito old grindcore, punk, hardcore, Thrash, Death, Black Metal,Doom, Stoner,Sludge e clássicos, o Oze gosta muito muito do S.D.S(Societic Death Slaughter) e Hardcore da Europa e muitas outras bandas de punk hardcore, Shinnosuke escuta umas doideiras que eu não sei muito bem! Cada um de nós temos gostos diferentes, acho que essa mistura faz o que o Darge é, eu não sei por que, mas a gente se diverte !!! Engraçado que as pessoas nas gigs comentam e tentam descobrir que estilo somos!
Isso ajuda a gente a nao ficar preso em uma determinada cena, estamos sempre tocando com o pessoal do HC Punk e Metal, as vezes com o pessoal do hardcore melódico e pop punk, e por ai vai, acho que nao deveria ter essa separação que existe em muitos lugares.
Sobre o nome Darge foi os japas que colocaram e nao tem significado nenhum , dizem ele para nao prender ninguém ao nome.

07-Sabemos que você é muito ativo,além da DARGE e da N.E.K. ainda trampa com o selo KARASU KILLER ,Pode-nos falar um pouco um sobre o selo ? últimos trabalhos e o que virá em seguida?
Rafael: O Karasu Killer nasceu em 2006, no começo lançando materiais de bandas brasileiras no Japão, apesar de todas as dificuldades estamos ai na luta incansável para mostrar boas bandas. Hoje não só bandas brasileiras como de outros países também.
Hoje conto com a ajuda de grandes parceiros, sendo assim tendo uma distribuição maior dos nossos materiais,e falando um pouco de japones facilita bastante o trabalho também!!!
O cenário independente no Japao muito organizado e tudo muito intenso, tudo acontece, se vacilar fica pra trás, o lance é ter força de vontade e fazer a parada acontecer!
Qualquer mês é complicado fazer lançamentos, muitos não se interessam, ou seja estamos trabalhando forte para os interessados em nossos materiais!
Os últimos trabalhos foram o 4 Way for Destruction II CD e o Defy/Terror Revolucionário split 7'EP
Para 2012 virá The Black Coffins / Infamous Glory split CD, NITAD "Samlad Värld" CD,N.E.K. "Dekavermes"7'EP, Social Chaos 革命の息 Revolutions Breath + Alive in Finland + The End EP CD,O Mito da Caverna s/t CD, ROT, Groaning Grove e muito mais!!!
No Brasil agora eu conto com a parceria da Equivokke Records do meu amigo Filipe Freitas de São Paulo, junto estamos trabalhando forte para ano que vem disponibilzar bons materiais no Brasil!

08-Peguei o CD “4 Way for Destruction II” ,O qual achei muito bom!! Como foi o processo para a realização desse trampo ?? da escolha das bandas até a arte da capa do grande desenhista Murilo? Sabemos que sairá uma versão em vinil = LP desse registro ,conte-nos mais um pouco sobre isso ok? Seráo os mesmo selos envolvidos?
Rafael: Na turnê do Darge em 2010 conhecemos o pessoal do Death from Above e o Unfit Scum, essas que foram uma das bandas que chamaram nossa atenção, voltamos para o Japão e o contato continuou, como em 2009 eu tinha lançado o 4 Way For Destruction (Darge, Encroached, Massacre em Aphavillle, Under the Ruins) surgiu a idéia de lançar o vol.2 em 2011.
No final de 2010 convidei os caras do Brasil para participarem nesse V/A, já na mesma época confirmamos nossos grandes amigos do Disgust, assim iniciamos o projeto no começo de 2011 para lançar em agosto no Brasil e Japao sem nenhum atraso!

Dois grandes artistas que fiz amizade o Jef, que fez a belíssima capa do Darge DVD, e o Murilo que assumiu a arte do 4 Way for Destruction II, e o resultado esta ai para todos verem, grande trabalho.

Estamos trabalhando na versão em vinil do 4 Way for Destruction II, creio que sairá em 2012.
Participarao desse lançamento Karasu Killer Japão, Estados Unidos Give Praise Recs e selos do Brasil, Equivokke Recs, Ultra Violence Recs e lazybones recs e talvez Australia! O que posso adiantar agora é isso, em breve terei mais informações!!!

09- Pensar em Japão para mim automaticamente me recorda meu velho amigo Kawakami ,sempre dando força para bandas do Brasil e do mundo todo....e para mim especialmente pelos anos e anos de amizade....
Rafael: Lembramos do Kawakami san com muito respeito, foi um cara que fez muito barulho e muito pela cena japonesa, concerteza ele faz muita falta.

10-Uma coisa legal pra caramba na DARGE são as artes de capa....como é o processo quando vocês estão trampando com as capas? Como escolhem o artista? E quem está desenhado para vocês ultimamente?
Rafael: Quando temos as letras, nós temos a idéia para a capa, não gostamos de copiar nada de ninguém.
Sobre a arte, o Desespero 7'EP que foi o primeiro trabalho dessa formação, eu fiz o trampo da arte com umas colagens, personagens, terroristas,putas,maníacos, atrocidades, e coisas do dia a dia japonês, sociedade conservadora que as vezes me estressa!!!
Já a capa do Desespero e o “憎悪 (zouo) – Ódio” CD quem assinou o trampo foi o Napalmer (Hellsakura), 4WayForDestruction o Thiago (D.E.R.) e para os ultimos dois trabalhos lançados a capa do “憎悪 - Ódio” Brazil Tour 2010 DVD foi feita pelo Jeferson Pizone (Unfit Scum / Helvetin Viemärit) e a capa do 4 Way For Destruction II CD/LP pelo Murilo Pommer (Unfit Scum)
Hoje quem está desenhando nossas capas é um amigo japonês Shunsuke (G.I.D), ele que faz as artes do Karasu Killer Records, sempre faz flyers das minhas gigs, capa do ultimo 7'EP do N.E.K., e alguns trampos como a capa de um LP do See You In Hell "Attack" que saiu nos Estados Unidos, Logo da Equivokke Recs, capa do próximo álbum do Social Chaos e muitos outros!
Logo do Darge ele fez dois, divulgaremos em breve, e ele que assinou a capa dos nossos dois próximos splits com Aberrant e Hellsakura que sairão em breve!!!

11—Quais os próximos passos agora?
Rafael:Para 2012 temos uma agenda até maio, dia 27 iremos tocar no Festival Grind Bastards2012 onde participaremos também de um v/a com uma música, depois disso iremos dar uma parada em gigs por aqui e se concentrar em um novo álbum, desde que começamos tocamos sem parar, precisamos de um tempo.Não iremos terminar a banda, mas sim iremos dar um tempo.

12-And now the end....The end is near.....It´s time to say…………….
Rafael:Fofão grande irmão, obrigado por essa entrevista! Temos grande respeito por você!
Obrigado a todos até hoje que nos deram apoio e nos ajudaram de alguma forma, seremos eternamente agradecidos por vocês!!!
