DISASTER AREA har fornylig udgivet deres debut mini cd på WILD RAGS RECORDS. DISASTER AREA stil må betegnes som melodisk death. Bandittes musik er fed nok, men det bliver desværre hurtigt lidt monotont. Her følger et interview med Rødekro bandets trommeslager Kristian.

**Fortæl lidt om jeres deal med WILD RAGS, er I tilfredse med den?**  
Jo, vi er da meget tilfredse med dealen, da den er uafhængig. Dvs. vi kan til hver en tid gå over på et andet selskab uden problemer. Det er jo ret fedt. Desuden får vi 100 cd'er som betaling. Men jeg tror ikke vi ville indspille en LP for WILD RAGS hvis vi får tilbuddet. Det vil vi hellere gemme til et større selskab.

**I har udgivet et par demobånd, hvordan var responsen på dem?**  
Tja, i 1988 udgav vi vores "Future Of Tomorrow". Lyden var MEGET misærabel, og numrene spiller vi overhovedet ikke mere. Responsen var overraskende god, men ellers vil vi helst glemme det demobånd (Sådan har vi det også med vores nr. 1-udgivet). "Angelic Patience"-demoet udkom i 1991 og blev indspillet i et prof. studie. Det blev godt modtaget de fleste steder, men nu synes vi selv, at det godt kunne være blevet meget, meget bedre. Numrene er desuden lidt forældede.

**Hvordan har anmeldelserne været på båndene?**  
Anmeldelserne var som sagt lidt forskellige. Et blad i Holland roste os til skyerne, og Kennie rakkede os fuldstændig ned i SACROFOMITY. Det første demo sendte vi faktisk kun ud til 24 mange blade. Men det blev jo også nævnt i Amnestyblade i METTALIZED der fulgte en anmeldelse af en masse demoer med. Vi regner med at anmelde kort omkring. Dave fang meget kritik for trommerne, men han mente selv, det havde sin charme. 

**Jeres tekstunivers, hvad ligger til grund for det?**  
Vi startede med at skrive utroligt mange groteske og makabre tekster, inspireret af de bands, vi spillede dengang. Det var mest grind og det var jo også utroligt. Musikken er goret på kort tid, og så læser man det ikke ordentlig. Vi skrives det dog lige meget idag. For at tage de nye materiale: Child Of Misery, § om Hans lavede teksten til, omhandler gadetebørn, der hurtigt blev lokket ind i nark og andet lort. 

Det er en miserabel tilvære til rejser fyldt med vold og død. Folk der støder dem til verdenen og så bare ligeglade med dem, skulle slet ikke have lov til at få børn. The Origin Of Species omhandler æresdrab, hvor de hoveder, strømmen i storbyer: Skole i hævd, livsf, kæreste, forhold viser straffe og forklarer ens pub. og sex. Det er da også helt fint, hvis de bare kunne acceptere, at der er forskellige ting der og spille BRIAN, men frihed skriger sto hånd en ny mave, og en slags musik man om. Mennesker er sgu da (heldigvis) forskellige, men der er noget der ikke kan se tro mig eller ej som i hans: Blasphemous Solidification, en fantastisk tekst jeg finder godt af, og jeg interessere mig meget for liv efter døden, reinkarnation, osv. Sangen fortæller om sjælen i udviklingsstadiet, der går sig nogle element på en urolig ved at stil nok til at direkte oh!

**I har haft en del problemer med bassist i tidens løb. Har der været andre problemer tilknyttet bandet?**  
Ja, du har ret. Vi har haft 6 forskellige bassister. De fleste af dem blev smidt ud pga. alkoholproblemer eller andet. Jeg flyttede alene herindefra ikke i landet. Stedet her er ikke fra Vejle, Michael Hansen en der er ret ligesom, i et band der går i serie på at finde en åndsvag. Lars spillede med fra 1986 (undtagen 3 mdr. dengang de kom hjem igen), indtil han flyttede til Århus. 

**I spiller melodisk death, men nu spiller I sea. Hvilke versioner caller I stilen dengi.**  
Ja, vores musik er lethed i at levere klim et bare hvor vi har fundet vores stil og lige så let at spille: at levere noget. Der er en enkelt nummer der er inspireret af NILE og soundet ikke stressede på sig selv, der s ugr DAVE METALIZED. Det døde simpelthen, men der kommer snart en single fra Devil’s. Jeg går utrolig meget op i værst spritstr, der bliver balanceret sind) uden himmel og han har også godt at koncert. Det er DAVE en af de bedste i landet, spiller vi titel. Heldigvis efter enhver har fået sin af det resterende. Han spiller på KK både på. Det eneste der at vi selv indspiller, men vi vælge DAVE at satse alt på gamle mine ting. Måske klikke: BENEDICTION lidt.

Debut Release and Future Ambitions: An Interview with Disaster Area's Drummer

Kristian Mølgård is answering:

### Band history + line-up?

"The band was started in '87 by Jan Andersen and me, after we had been playing together in another heavy band. We played at Nordals Festival in '88, under the name EXCALIBUR, and a month later we were offered a record deal on a Danish company from Århus. They had some conditions, which we didn't want to follow, so we boycotted them. We have had a couple of bassists, but now we have the right one! Hans Langholz joined the band in '89, after we had been featured on tv (TV SYD), before he joined Jan was singing. Our line-up is; Jan Andersen-guitar, Michael Larsen-bass, Hans Langholz-vocals, and Kristian Mølgård-drums."

### Why a name like DISASTER AREA?

"We have chosen DISASTER AREA because one of our ex friends read a book with the same title, we thought it sounded cool and it fits to our world. If we don't take care of our world, it'll soon be a disaster area."

### What have you released?

"We have released our first demo in '89, it had a terrible sound, but even though it sold out. We don't make new copies of it, because it doesn't represent our new style at all. In '91 came "Angelic Patience". The tape is selling very good, it distributed by Wild Rags Recs. in the States. And I think there has been some live-tapes from a concert in '90."

### What are your lyrics dealing with?

"Our lyrics are about fiction, dreams and of course self-experienced things. An example: "Human Incarnate" is about religion and how it can influence people. "The Tale Of Madeleine" is a fiction song. Our lyrics are about; religion, death, violence, politics, drugs and fiction stories."

### Future plans?

"Future plans? First our 7", which will be released on Wild Rags Recs., it will contain three tracks. And as much live as possible. We hope our 7" will sell well, so we can release the debut LP. We'll work hard for it. Our new stuff is much deadlier..."

### A last word?

"Yes why not? Good luck with the tape Bo, and thanks for the support. Buy our 7", people who can arrange gigs for us, please write. Take care, see you, keep up the faith!!!"

Origins and Evolution of DISASTER AREA

- Danish **DISASTER AREA** have finally been ripped off by Wild Rags. That just put them in the same situation as a countless number of bands before them. It must be time for the bands to realize that Wild Rags, no matter what he says, only think of thing, and that is to rip your guts off.

Deceitful Deals in the Music Industry: A Cautionary Tale

DISASTER AREA  
"Angelic Patience"  
(Demo 1991)  

What is this, a demo featuring only one long intro? Oh, okay, here comes the music. DISASTER AREA, another band rising from the Danish scene. You can read more about them elsewhere in this godly mag. I liked this demo when I got it. Now it's quite annoying. For example the guitar, it sounds most of the time like some computer thing. Deathrash is categorizing DISASTER AREA pretty good. And don't get me wrong, the demo is very enjoyable, with some experimental vocals. Sometimes there’s almost no vocals, only wind in the background. If I was you (which I luckily not am), I would wait to buy their 7" EP to get a better presentation of the band right now. If I was DISASTER AREA, I would get 2 songs with better quality, that should give a more true image.  

I think this can be purchased for 5$ Europe and 6$ elsewhere. It features 5 tracks and a prof cover

Review of Disaster Area's 'Angelic Patience' Demo

Well, this band is quite unknown to most of you...I think. But the facts in general are: DISASTER AREA, Danish band, 2 demo's put by 'know. Well, after receiving their "Angelic Patience" I decided to interview their drummer, Kristian Molgaard for their future plans. Wild Rags has shown interest in 'em and they will be releasing a brand new 7" on above mentioned label in Jan/Feb '92. I can't think of more reasonable stuff to say, though I think I'm quite clever, so please read this gigantic interview......

---

**- Hi Kristian. How are you today ?**
Thansk a lot, very nice, very nice indeed! How about you? (Well, taking in consideration that I'm the strongest, the best, the most handsome and clever guy in the world...No, in the universe...Then I'm alright)

**- It's been quite a while since you released your "Angelic Patience" demo. How was the support on that one ?**
Yes, we released "Angelic Patience" in May '91 and got a lot of good response!! Although there's a million bands, we got quite good reviews for it and it helped getting known. We have since then managed to fire an army of people for promotional purposes, so it's working out quite nicely.

**- Wild Rags are releasing your new EP ?**
Yes it will be in Jan/Feb '92 with two tracks from "Angelic Patience" and two brand new songs.

**- Ahha, now we're talking.. you've got an ?? offer from Wild Rags ? At least that's ?? I heard**
No, no, no, you shouldn't be able to say this. I shouldn't be able to announce that to you, girls and boys and girls in general, we have decided to accept an offer from Wild Rags so our next EP will feature two brand new tracks and two songs from "Angelic Patience". It'll be put in Jan/Feb 1992.

**- On your demo there's a little sweety of a song called "The Tale of Madelaine". Is she a girl that is or has existed? What is that sad song about?**
"No, I don't think! Hansi made the lyrics from his imagination. It's about a girl, little and innocent, who gets sick of radioactivity after atomic-bomb explosion!! She dies and 7 years later, the story teller is thinking back on the good times with her. It's very sad! (Aanak huuhh huuh. Sad indeed!)"

**- And not to mention that you already have gotten offers from some Danish record companies aswell. Why did you refuse??**
We refused Bam's Bums Records, called us in '88 and they refused it. But we got the contract signed so far that's why I accepted. We where very happy, the contract is true, cuz the Wild Rags said to me - we'll FUCK IT! DIE IN PAIN!!

**- Let's talk more about your rolling succes. You have been featured on Danish television. How was it that you get on this interview ??**
Yes, we were there. It's was on Danish Red Byes TV. You wanted to do a documentary about us. We couldn't say anything out as to get the government to sponsor us, they didn't.

**- Any support to say the least for DISASTER AREA??**
Yes!! SUPPORT US OR WE'LL DIE! I have experienced so much during the tour!! Please will you support?? (It was quite easy to pass them. We remained silent that's all. Please buy the record when it's available at least. We have managed to sell 100 so far! So please it makes a difference. Nice to know it could be a "How's the scene in Denmark??"**

**- How's the scene in Denmark ?**
It's a bit difficult. There are only and not because it's difficult having a good scene with few bands but due to the lack of support in Denmark. But on the other hand, it's quite good having Danish bands in general. Be prepared for the Danish band but otherwise thanks. I would say that, personally, DISASTER AREA haven't disappointed my expectations... still not! Kreativität (Creativity) is the key to success. Yeah, more gigs simply! Mind you!

**- Any last words ??**
We would really like to make some money this year for the first time by the contract signed. We may get some hidden sponsor because of "Rise of the Sign!" So, PLEASE support us the way you can! We'll keep you updated!! All in all, we are very happy, indeed! And the feedback you heard from Europe is getting much better and in some shops! (Songs that'll be big feelings, 3-2- (in Hiddish danz). Can't explain my thoughts so forth. We're also planning to make a great festival in Esbjerg) Important thing is that metal (scene in general) is slowly growing. It can't be big enough though!! SUPPORT!

Interview with Disaster Area: Rising Danish Band and Their Future Plans

DISASTER AREA

Promotape for "Altered beyond..." EP '92

DISASTER AREA's second demo "The angelic patience" secured them a deal with WILD RAGS REC., and this is the result! The intro is cool and the music is quite good too! D-A- plays Death-thrash, a bit technical, but not that much! All these guys are handling their instruments fair, and the overall ompression of this EP is that it's definately above average!! I think that this EP is out now, but write and ask! I think they're got t-shirts for sale aswell...

Altered Beyond: The Angelic Patience EP Review

Favorit bands?

Pyh, favorit bands???? Selv hører jeg meget af det meget af det indenfor heavy, lige fra gammelt BLACK SABBATH til det nyeste death. Der findes jo også så mange demo bands der er fede at lytte til.

Fremtidsplaner?

Fremtidsplaner??? Tja, for tiden er vi jo på Danmarks tournee med NATIONS OF DEATH fra Roskilde. Touren hedder "Death By Dusk tour 92" og startede i Holbæk d.8 august og slutter i Vejle d.5 december. Derefter går vi igang med at skrive nyt materiale og ganske sikkert tager vi så på tournee igen til foråret. Med hvem, ved vi ikke endnu. Men det vi ser mest frem til for tiden, er en 5-dags tour i Holland og Belgien med hollandske TORMENTOR og polske MORBID INSANE (åbeligt navn -red) Den finder sted i perioden 22-27 november. Og forhåbentlig skulle vi gerne få en L.P deal. Og så ser vi selvfølgelig også frem til vores skive ukommer.

Sidste ord?

Yeps, en sidste kommentar skulle være: Køb vores CD "Altered Beyond Recognition" sidst i oktober. Fourskins skulle være et "Must Buy". Ellers til alle i hertil, i idet med at vi land, med et blød frås Jylland, det er ikke så it man efter os...

Tour Life and Future Plans of a Heavy Metal Band

DISASTER AREA: Altered Beyond Recognition. 7"EP  
(WILD RAGS)

Danske DISASTER AREA har nu fået smidt deres 7"EP (er udkommet på cd istedet) ud på WILD RAGS. Jeg har lyttet en del til det promo tape jeg fik af Kristian (trommer), og jeg må indrømme, at DISASTER AREA ikke lyder så katastrofalt som jeg har hørt det skulle være. Musikken er helt ok, men bliver hurtigt monoton, og Hans har en lidt ensformig stemme. Lyden er heller ikke for god på dette promo tape. Guitaristen laver nogle alt for kedelige leads, der lyder lidt "computer" agtige. DISASTER AREA's stil kan kaldes melodisk death metal, faktisk for melodisk, for jeg savner nogle hårdslående brudstykker indimellem. 

Indimellem er det dansk band bliver signet, så derfor kan vi kun glæde os på DISASTER AREA's vegne. Kod denne cd (prisen på ep'en var 50kr, men om cd'en er noget dyrere ved jeg på).
