SACRIFICIAL

As Danish SACRIFICIAL has been having an important place in my life since I heard their "First Trial" demo and a few weeks after their "Tortured" demo is one helluva death metal demo, I had to interview them. I put down John (J), Kram (K), Lukas (L) & Mox (MX) on chairs and we had a serious talk. All 3 are answering.

Well, to make all readers familiar with you, start up with the basic band history?

K: It was me and Lukas that had been planning to start up a death metal band. In the summer of 1990 we began to write some riffs. Lukas was playing the drums and I the strings. But it became hard to keep on this way, so we got Klaus as the bass player. Lukas and Klaus knew people called Max and Uffe who were in a band called INSOMNIA. 

L: We talked with Max and Uffe, but they wouldn't play Death Metal, so we kept on writing riffs by ourselves. 

J: The first time he was in our rehearsal room, he had Esben Christiansen with him, we tried him on rhythm guitar. After the line-up completion we played a few shows with bands as: MACERATION, AGATHOCLES, and GROIN HERNIER HYSTERIA/ O.B.C., and we released a couple of rehearsal tapes (which we don't wanna talk about), and in the winter the same year, Esben got kicked out because of the lack of initiative. And we continued as a fiv... piece line-up, which made us in 1991. "Spas" and I then took over the spot that Esben had been filling. 

L: The line-up seemed stronger and ever before. The lyrics for the demo were written in the summer vacation, just before the demo was due to go for recording. Kram shows the joy of mixing this tape and especially he, Mox, & John has strong handshell with bands as: AGONIZE, BEEHIND, ARMAGEDDON, ZOMBREED, PANZERBJEDE, AGONIZED, SELECTICIDE. Insomnia lug over and in March 1992. The band for rehearsed a lot, sold out the demos, and never the before like met STENCH, ENTOMBED, EXHUMER and CHANNEL PAIN.

Why did you kick out Claus?

J: Claus had to leave due to personal problems. Basically he would rather play football and scratch the death metal band. 

K: Yeah, when he had stayed away from rehearsing for more than a month, we dropped an observation on him and kicking his ass. We contacted him and told him to afford that.

You also tune your instruments pretty low. Don't you think it's hard to get a decent sound out of them?

K: Yeah we do (HOHOHO) ... Well I think the beginning was the best. If you're to ogle a lot of feedback, it takes some time to control the sound. We have spent a lot of money to get the things innovative and good sound we have. Did you have but your eardrums have seen doom hear this thunder sound!

So you released a split 7" with a band called RAIMUI, are you satisfied with that?

MX: We don't share the case "It's noise only, but basically... well you guessed it. We use a song for at the time we put in rehearsals and played live. 

What can we expect of your new material?

K: Our new material will be a lot more thoughtful and technical but still heavy. 

L: You know, we've tried a lot of bands we like to discover for more things, new influences, such as of our own we've found.

How about a deal?

L: Of course, we'd like a deal. But we have a lot of time to see deal as we aren't insulted with. I like to fake an album with people, there will also put our names on. We'd like to make an album, but we're of course no judge, that single-handed.

Unveiling the Origins of Danish Death Metal: An Interview with Sacrificial

SACRIFICIAL, who released their debut demo "Lords Of Torment" quite a while ago wasn't a band I had expected very much from. But fortunately the four rehearsal tracks I had gotten in advance proved me to be wrong. As this debut brings seven snippets of hard driving death metal, sounding more or less ordinary but done with a clear personal edge to them, the band still as I can well agree there's two grow to go as musicians but still these tracks work out greatly. By mixing through clear light rhythmics and your own heavy tone by building up the tracks, every song goes with the true & effective ones overbuilt lines it leaves just a stunning experience. The production, mastered by Jacob Hansen (INVOCATOR family) gives the whole another standards and the cover artwork is good, Sorely these guys are self-financed, which makes it harder - but thus shows honest dedication to their musically effective style. For hard work and effort thereforth is worth looking out for, if they can manage to progress as much in the coming years as they have done in the few last years we should have something to look forward to.

WIME: As usual, please start off with telling who you guys are and what this band started & for how long have SACRIFICIAL been in existence?
KREN: Yeah, I'm Kren, 21 years old. I play guitar in SACRIFICIAL, 21 years old. And I'm in nice you of course - Hansen our like the folks. Michael guests, our friend kid brother, is 18 years old and my kid brother's. He's the drummer in our band. Mike plays bass guitar, he's 19 years old, a funny young fellow. Thomas on Playing duties with Peter behind the drums hes him Mark. We're all into this playing, same passion that we have, doing now for 4 years.

WIME: What about the band 2 years into it. Have you released any demos before?
KREN: No, this is our debut demo. We've released only the demo and it's 58 minutes! Wasn't their second demo the song through coming really fast in our rehearsals?

bad about it yet, so I guess it's ok. Well, now we've just thrown out our old bass player, so we hope for a steady line-up with Asmus now.

WIME: Your debut demo "Lords Of Torment" have been out for some time by now, so how have the response been? Is it selling ok?
KREN: Yeah, it's been out since February '92 and as I mentioned before - we have gotten incredible response like I'll not only a few of the mags we've sent it to are from and they all very fat, we had nothing but good reviews so far. We've sold about 200 copies so far and the response is pretty ok with all those demo's we've sent everywhere. Anyway, we hope to sell a few more then we sent about in the evening where we're there really interested and put behind annum what we can present today.

WIME: Have any labels been showing interest in you?
KREN: Not seriously, but we haven't sent it to any labels unless they have asked yet.
WIME: Because of a folk move to the demo's just because?
KREN: I think so yes. The old tracks are far behind what we can present today.

WIME: Personally did you end up being just satisfied with the demo? And what you'd like/dislike in it?
KREN: As first we're very satisfied I think about it, we played in some kind of recent rehearsal/zins in our goals not just for us but for our friends. So we felt good by cooking and sending songs kind of some ways, but there's always work as like as you sit back to care and so we did sorry. But I'm still that Kild, yet I'll to the wizards. It'll only work it happens around it this nothing behind our next demo.

WIME: Did you use the material from "LORDS OF TORMENT" when you waited for those 2 sessions, or which tracks/titles? new songs?
KREN: We're not recording. I cannot compare the old songs from The

"Forever Entangled"  
(Trechoma Productions)

Finally this CD is out. As you probably know, SACRIFICIAL plays innovative and very energetic death metal in a style of their own. On this very strong CD the music is more homogen and less noisy as on their demo. The sound of the CD is nuanced without the music loosing its edge, and all the instruments comes through clearly, NICE! As mentioned above S have their own style, but it sounds as if the guys are inspired by godly RIPPING CORPSE, might want to check this out! All in all a very nice, non trendy piece of death metal that should be interesting to all music lovers. BUY!

Forever Entangled

lød fedt. Men set i retrospektiv kan man jo godt sige, at alle vores tekster omhandler menneskelige konflikter, og når man står i en dyb konflikt med sig selv og/eller sin omverden, kan man jo godt føle sig "for altid fanget" (Forever entangled). Til at starte med valgte vi det kun fordi det lød fedt, men der findes jo sjovt nok alligevel et vist koncept i det hele. 

Paw Nielsen har igen tegnet jeres cover. Så vidt jeg ved, er det hans første cover i farver. Er I tilfredse med hans arbejde?
Ja, i allerhøjeste grad. Jeg synes, at han har gjort et rigtig godt og flot stykke arbejde ud af det. Han er helt sikkert egnet til at gå til audition til vores næste cover. Jeg synes allesammen, at hans stil er rigtigt fed, og han forstår virkelig, at tilpasse sine billeder til musikken, altså passer også utroligt godt på dette album. Jeg tror derudover også på, at han i de to også "fordaild his musical soul" eller noget i den retning. Jeg har enkelte farver, men han har vist nok lavet et TRIBULATION cover med farver, men det har jeg ikke set. PINKNARK har jeg dog set i farver.

Hvordan er CD'en blevet modtaget i DK, og i "det store udland"?
Indtil videre har jeg ikke læst en eneste anmeldelse med den, men selv RÖCK HARD har givet den en god anmeldelse. Vi har fået interviews fra en svensk og en norsk metal-shop, de handles meget med ankænder for de to blade endog jeg rigtig til anmeldes det er ekstra blot ork, så vil sikre sig med en Norge & Skandinavien nøre udfordringe der no huske er det ser Norway af. Der fik den 8 ud af 10, hvilket i Skandinavisk niveau er ganske pænt gjort. I øvrigt ved jeg, at vi på et eller andet tidspunkt i januar skulle få anmeldelser fra Band of the People. Jeg er utroligt spændt på, hvordan de udenfor DK vil reagere på det, når vi til efteråret tager ud og gør Dannevi udstyr.
Q- why

På selve markedet betyder i promotion-øjmed, at I er på F.Y.W.F.D. vol. 2?
Det ser jeg naturligvis til at betyde noget, da den jo bliver spredt ud til over 200 blade, radiostationer osv. i den internationale undergrund. Vi må jo bare håbe, at folk lægger mærke til vores nummer på CD'en. Generelt synes jeg også, at "F.Y.W.F.D" er en fed reklame for den danske undergrund. Der er dog nogle, af de bands derpå, som nok skulle have øvet lidt længere sammen, før de kom med på en sådan CD. Jeg synes, at PROGRESS skulle nøjes med at tage de 4 bedste bands med på CD'en, og så give dem 4 numre hver, instead for at tage alt hvad der kan kravle og gå. Det ville være bedre reklame både for det enkelte band, den danske undergrund og for PROGRESS.

Den danske scene har jo udviklet sig voldsomt, tror du der kommer en dansk trend, som det er kommet i Sverige og USA?
Det kunne man jo godt håbe på (hvad?? -red.), og jeg synes at hvis man skulle lave en dansk trend, skulle det bare, at Danmark er for lille et land til at det kan lade sig gøre. Så lirke der vr-?their file dans, slide fir bands, sa længe der gave musikarne læ dere kunne øve??? at bands, som MASC ikke kunne med PROGRESS og TRIBCHOM, THOC bands krag for TX 00 Tre an man.  Måske nogle der bare tror dyb med den, men der rekanderet en dansk trend med PROGRESS og de bands, der er dukket op indenfor det sidste års tid. Det kan godt være, at vores plads i udlandet til, at de køber vores musik er ved at blive prøve mellem andet, så vi håber da at det kan lade sig gøre, men når alt kommer til alt kan vi jo kun håbe på at få flere anmeldelser i den lige i EU og det nok en ting hos.

Er der nogle af dine fave bands, du mener især har skubbet dig fremad?
Jeg kan nævne et hav af band som RIPPING ADVISED, ENCMAC, og SPEED JOGG, men det navn mit eget liv at der nævner dec. lørgjør, da vi alle vis hører på, til at vi bl.a. stadig inspirerede MCC med EMKPEJQ, MAN DIRK. Hvis du vil nå snige i CAVEJER, ONYCK, PEREN, MAN JR er specielt meget inspirinæ og SIDY MODENS. Anse som gamew som INSECW MOIR, PATERA, A THEISTVIEW DARI worked. Hvis kæng-fasnatisk at hætlord DARK ANGEL er også utrolig inspirerende at høre på. Gamle

SACRIFICIAL "Forever Entangled" CD  
TRECHOMA PROD.

This is the debut CD release from both TRECHOMA PROD. and SACRIFICIAL. The result should be satisfying for both parts! At least it satisfies me! SACRIFICIAL have changed their musical approach since their "L.O.T." demo, they were more brutal back then. It's like they're aiming towards the more thrashy and technical approach now. The music is Death Thrash with some dark singing vocals! If you like Death Thrash a là INVOCATOR etc. this is a good investment. If you can't get this one from your local store, write to TRECHOMA! The price is 20$. -BA.

Unleashing Death Thrash: Sacrificial's Evolution in 'Forever Entangled'

demo, 'cause it in general is much better structured. You see, by now we can use our experiences from the old demo, like hey, we ought to make heavier and more technical songs and that’s what I think the new songs are compared to the demo songs. The songs that we have ready by now are: "Ritual Journey", "Thus I Cry", "Destitude Of Compassion", and the newest one "I Fall In Temptation".

WTME: To me the death metal scene have for a very long time seemed to be almost nothing but one stereo-type band after the other, endless cloning and a profound lack of creativity and personality among the new coming bands, but finally it seems as things are getting more interesting and as the bands around are trying harder to come up with own personal style/sound. Can you share these views and how do you feel about the death metal scene in general ???

KREN: Well, it’s pretty hard for me to judge any new bands in the scene, 'cause I don't even got the time to hear about it in myself and I know how hard it is to come up with anything unheard. But in general I think you have to both looking at the members of a band and their personality. Personally, I’m looking at character and personality instead of the looks of a person, that’s why I’m to this band I'm personally thinking of CONFESSOR and SADUS ...

WTME: Which kind of bands inspires you to do the music you does, what are some of the styles and bands you're into ?

KREN: I’m inspired by most of the same styles like: PERSONAL PAIN, PANTERA, CONFESSOR, ATHEIST, NAPALM DEATH, SUFFOCATION, PARADISE LOST and more. For a while now, I’ve been much into SMUT. In my opinion, there are many other STROIDTH, PANTERA, DEICIDE, ATHEIST, MALEVOLENT CREATION, RAGING COPPERS, MORBID ANGEL and more. But it’s hard to say what exactly I’m inspired by.

WTME: On the lyrical side what does SACRIFICIAL deal with ? Give us some of the thoughts behind your lyrics.

KREN: Lyrics deal with all kinds of topics that I surely know a lot about. The lyrics for a song, I don’t always have words, but I’ve written songs from my private experiences and that’s why I write about truths a real person will like subjects, like drugs, oppression, isolation, religion and personal condolence. “Destitude Of Compassion”, which is one of our newer songs, deals about religious oppression and blind-obedience. If I may catch myself out writing about such topics... well, most of the times I once do. Well, I know myself, tell her about it. Here’s thought of what I mean and how to be with this own ideology of it following the ideas, you keep on mixing it in, so it won't just end to my lyrics, therefore sometimes things are discussed, and topics are dealing with myself and other people. And that’s exactly what makes interesting topics and makes it worthwhile overcoming world things instead of just dealing with very little distance to the subjects.

WTME: So how does the future look for SACRIFICIAL in your eyes? Are there any plans on a small DK-tour or anything ?

KREN: We'd very much like to do a small Denmark tour, but it's very difficult we find places where you can play like days a week in all over Denmark in 1 week. It's very rare that you can find a show in one night, pack in town playing the next so and so. If anyone would like to help us, feel free to contact us, OK?

WTME: There seems not many bands to make some more songs, pass out their following and maybe we could do it or sell more demos or not choose the stuff of all our songs actually and finish plenty of them, one time. Just be a little more self-reliant instead of depending on getting autograph. Why help for a cheap release while you making some time before you can expect much from this maybe years. You're someone that's developing on your next demo.

KREN: We try our best for ourselves. Thanks for taking us even Connected. The cost is 100 for Denmark and worldwide: 50 I-don't know exactly how SACRIFICIAL impressed. I think the North in far away future, see it’s including the world than the others it’s a great demo. Small influenced through our demo, you’re lacking 100kr (around Denmark). It costs: 5.00 USD, 10 DM or £4,00 as well. People you see we haven't toured in Europe, they’re black w/ white (from our album) or knew us with front-page shows. Perhaps this way oye! For those of you reading this cool again Paw, thanks, you’re real remote.

Forever Entangled: A Thrilling Debut from Sacrificial

SACRIFICIAL "Sacrificial Combustion" Reh. 2 '91

This is the 2nd Reh. from these Danish death metal freaks. They are hoping to get in the studio to record their debut demo as soon as possible. This is one of the best Danish newcomers I've heard. They're not that original but their death metal is very brutal. This is a rehearsal tape and of course the sound is of course not good. Although I mean that these guys are one of the best newcomers from Denmark, then I also think they have to work on a lot of things before they enter the studio. I think they have to work on their solo's which isn't the best and then they have to work on the vocals which I don't think sounds good. Their line-up is Claus Julius (bass/backing vocals), Lukse Meier (drums), Esben Christiansen (guitar) and Kram Melier (guitar/vocals). Lukase sure knows how to play the double bass drums and that is a plus for this band. They're working on a 3rd Rehearsal. It comes with a prof printed, glossy cover. It costs 5$ everywhere, and I think it's worth checking out.

Danish Death Metal Rehearsal Review

Kran Meier is answering;  
Bandhistory?  
"It's in our band-bio.."  
(it was simply too long,  
but the current line-up  
is: Lukas Meier-drums, Asmus Thomsen-bass, John Hansen-  
vocals, Sebastian Nordquist-guitar and Kran Meier-guitar-CM)  
Releases?  
"We have released 2 rehearsal tapes earlier on, but  
they are not worth mentioning here."( + the new demo  
;"Lords Of Torment", which IS worth mentioning-CM)  
Why a name like SACRIFICIAL?  
"Funny question! Well we (Lukas and I) were pretty  
hooked on old DEATH ("Scream Bloody Gore" and "Lepro  
-sy") when we first started thinking of making a dea-  
th metal band. We went around searching for musicians  
, and a name that would fit for us, and I finally found  
it on the "Scream Bloody Gore" cover, it's a good  
song, and a quite original band name, I think."  
What do you think about the Danish scene?  
"The danish scene seems to be growing quite fast at  
the moment, and that is very good, 'cause it would be  
quite embarrassing if Denmark should be the only cou-  
-try on this earth that had no underground scene."  
Something funny?  
"Something funny?!?! Hmm, it isn't funny, but we're a-  
bout to get some t-shirts made, with some gruesome,  
Paw Nielsen artwork on, but I don’t know when we will  
get them, yet, so just wait and see."  
A last word?  
"Yeah, thanx for letting us appear on your tape, thanx  
for making this interview Christen, hope you put us  
on, eventhough we were quite slow in sending the ans-  
wer. Stay gruesome, take care, buy our tape."

Behind the Name: An Insight into Sacrificial's Journey

Ribebandet SACRIFICIAL udgav i maj deres debut cd på et nyt dansk selskab kaldet TRECHOMA PRODUCTIONS ApS (se interview andetsteds). Cd'en hedder "Forever Entangled" og skulle være let tilgængelig i de ﬂeste plade shops. Her er hvad guitarist Kåren Meier havde at sige...

**Lad os starte med at høre lidt om jeres nyudgivne CD "Forever Entangled"?**

Tjah, den er optaget i RIAMUF STUDIET her i Ribe. RIAMUF er en lokal amator musikker forening, hvor vi øver. Jacob Hansen har siddet ved knapperne, og jeg har lavet en virkelig suveren og kompakt lyd. Der er 7 numre at finde på Cd'en, og jeg synes alt alle numrene repræsenterer os godt. Paw Nielsen har stået for cover'et, og jeg synes virkelig, at han har gjort et flot stykke arbejde, som han også kan være bekendt på international plan.
Tjah, hvad kan jeg mere sige, hvis du ikke har hort den endnu, synes jeg du burde give den en chance, for det er jo dansk.

**Den er jo helt sikkert et kæmpe fremskridt i forhold til "Lords Of Torment" demoet. Er I tilfredse med resultatet?**

Ja, til klart fremskridt. Men det er faktisk også meningen med det hele for os. Det gælder om hele tiden at forbedre sig, og ikke hange fast og smøle ved det gamle. Vi har forsøgt, og forsøger stadig, at finde vores egen sound og stil, så der bliver ikke behov for at prøve noget nyt. Det er også en del af grunden til de fremskridt vi gør. Bare vent til du hører noget af det nye matriale vi har, mens, men eftersom vi kun har 10 minutter til det egentlige spørgsmål. Vi er alle sammen glade for CD'en, og med indspilningerne med de sange, vi har fået med, set det fint ud. Det er en slags overgang fra demo til selve en CD på, og sige: Det er os, os som vi lyder!

**Hvordan er I blevet sat på nyopstartede og nets danske selskab TRECHOMA PRODUCTIONS ApS. Hvad betyder det for jer, at være på dansk selskab?**

Det var meget nemt, og yderst belejrede. På et tidspunkt hvor vi fik samlet demos med det flows op med selskabet, og da de syntes godt om demoen, indgik vi en aftale omkring udgivelsen. En fordel er, at det foregik alt sammen ret easy, fordi vi bor temmelig tæt på hinanden. Bands der står alene oplever ofte problemer med at få cd'en lavet, men det har vi glædeligvis ikke haft... endnu, da vi loader at kunne styre det hele fra bunden. Ved et senere tidspunkt kommer vi nok til at finde hjælp i udlandet. Vi står både for distribution, promotion og selve alt det musikmatsale bag det hele.

**Vil det sige, at når i engang I fremtiden kommer til at spille i udlandet, kan der I tilfældes med 1. CD få en hjælp ellers tilbydes vi næsten god service eller tilbud om at kunne spille?**

Ja, det kan være det skal ske, når vi en gang senere skal i gang med at spille guitar og synge pa spæring. Vi spurte dem lidt om...

Debut Album 'Forever Entangled' by Sacrificial: A New Chapter in Danish Metal

SACRIFICIAL: Forever Entangled.  
(Trechoma Prod.)

SACRIFICIAL er jo navnet på alles læber for tiden, og det er jo ikke så underligt med en CD som denne på gaden. Stilen er death/thrash med forskellige sysve ting indimellem. En rus skal falde til John, som afslverker sin vokal rigtig meget, og behersker det. Lydlen er lidt spinkel, jeg savner lidt bund på guitaren. Udviklingen fra "Lords Of Torment" er der, er kolossal. Musikken er mere teknisk, med flere temposkift og prædikerende ting, og rytmerne går mere ind. Produktionen står Jacob Hansen for, Pav Nielsen har tegnet coveret, pladeselskabet er ejernessiske Trechoma Production ApS, så det er ret gennem dansk arbejde! En enkelt lage fra min side, skulle lyde på Crusader. Enormt. Hiler er et godt køb, der er til at skaffe overalt!  
Stil: Progressiv death/thrash  
Produktion: 8

Entangled in Progression: The Rise of Sacrificial

# SACRIFICIAL
**"Lords Of Torment"  
(Demo 1991)**

This band is about 1 1/2 years old  
And what a progression since their  
first reh. tape, which actually  
was kinda wimpy. This is the debut  
demo from SACRIFICIAL, and what a  
debut, really powerful dead-death  
grind metal in the vein of MON-  
STROSITY (US). Though the Danish  
scene isn't that big, I'll place  
these fellows among some of the  
best bands around here. The guitar  
is real demented, but even though  
they manage to create real insane  
sick riffs which really adds  
some originality and technicality  
to the music. The overall sound  
is good, but it's even better mu-  
siclwise. The vocalist has now been  
replaced by John @ who used to  
be a concert dude on the guitar.  
The bassist and the drummer plays  
very tight together and Lukas is a  
good drummer. Order this for 5$  
Europe and 6$ elsewhere:

SACRIFICIAL: Promo-tape

Så er der endnu et dansk band der er blevet signet på endnu et dansk selskab! Ligesom de andre danske bands der er blevet signet, har SACRIFICIAL fortjent det. Det er tydeligt, at Danmark er ved at have sin egen lille scene.

Selskabet der skal udgive SACRIFICIAL's det er et helt nyt selskab kaldet TRECHOMA RECORDS. SACRIFICIAL hører absolut til de bedre danske bands, og numrene på dette promo-tape er virkelig fede. Jeg aner ikke om dette bånd er til salg, men ellers vent til det kommer udkommer. Lyden på dette bånd er desværre lidt tynd.

Danish Metal Scene Emerges: SACRIFICIAL Joins TRECHOMA RECORDS

John, en af mine barndoms venner, om han kunne tænke sig, at prøve at overtage sangen, og da vi havde haft ham med oppe og øve 1 gang, var vi ikke i tvivl om, at der var mere krudt i John's stemme end der var i min. Siden har jeg kunnet koncentrere mig 100% om min guitarrpl, og det i sig selv har også hjulpet da' vi nu har en sanger der går 100% ind for sin sang. Alt i alt, havde vi ikke stået hvor vi står i dag, hvis vi ikke havde taget den beslutning dengang i vinteren '91!

**Okay, tilbage til CDen. Den er indspillet i RIMAUF, hvor i 10 også øver. Var det jeres ønske studie herhjemme?**

Ja, når man tar' vores daglige budget i betragtning (vi skulle selv betale optagelsen), tror jeg ikke vi kunne have fået et bedre studie! For det første havde vi prøvet at arbejde sammen med Jacob i dette studie, og for det andet, anbefalede Jacob os direkte at vælge RIMAUF's studie. Jeg vil gerne påpege at det hele gik som smurt, og 3 uger efter kunne vi, for første gang, stå med det i hånd. Jacob er meget dygtig og seriøs i det han gør. Vi kunne komme hjem og slappe af i 3 uger, og til tidspunktet var det hele klart.

**Hvad med jeres tekster ? Og hvad hentyder der til i dem?**

Idéen til "Forever Entangled" kom på et eller andet tidspunkt imellem 1991 og 1992 – mere specifikt husker jeg ikke, men selvom den kunne komme omkring en selvmordshistorie eller noget i den stil, handler den egentligt om noget lidt mere dybt. "Silent Sweet Silence" kunne være baseret på vores egen høretab, i og med, at det når til det abstrakte i livet, som den basale frygt for naturen. Hvor noget pludseligt forstyrres og man forladt der i sin 'lille verden'. "Temptation & the Butler's Tale" handler om en mand der er en fiktiv person, som i starten af dette, hundrede blev lukket inde på en eneværelseanstalt, fordi han er lam og stum. Folk mener, at han er dybt retarderet, men i virkeligheden er han ganske normal begavet. Jeg prøver i teksten, at forklare hvad han har prøvet på at sætte sig ind i en massemorders "tankegang", for at prøve på at forklare, hvad han mener, driver et menneske så langt ud, som til at blive massemorder. "I Fall In Temptation" har jeg skrevet, og den handler om en fiktiv person, som i starten af dette, hundrede blev lukket inde på en eneværelseanstalt, fordi han er lam og stum. Folk mener, at han er dybt retarderet, men i virkeligheden er han ganske normal begavet.

"Contents Of Logical Disbelief" er igen John's værk, og den handler om selvaneralring. og noget der hedder logic. Ting som den normale sunde fornuft sætter kraftigt spørgsmålstegn ved, men måske lige kappe tanken om kærlighedens troværdighed ned tiden. "Distriute of Compassion" er, kan man godt kalde det, en omvendt kærlighedshistorie, og det virker som om, at drengen i den i den her historie bare indimellem godt kunne have 'hadt' lidt af kærlighed at kende. For at tage det fra den ende, der reflekterer det bedste.

Til sidst, så har vi både om 'This Animal Life' handler om nutidens ungdom. Egentlig handler det om den arv, vi helt sikkert har ved tilfældighedernes spil fået med os på vores vej. Han elsker livet af hele hjertet, men befinder sig i et fængsel fordi, han, for al ind og gå, har hacket hans 'liv'.

En ting er at sige til folk, som ikke kender til ham, er muligt. Ordret er historien 'I'm Christina Free', hvor en ung stijent, forlader sit liv og fiske og fisker og nyder det, indtil andre i virkeligheden står og 'handler deres film til en musikalsk bagage'.

"Gi'i os nu et tændstik" er en stor produktion og kommentar til ende at det søger på togafgange i verden, og folk står, smadder vaklende over det almindelige liv. Der er indlysende sympati hos producerne der bet i et nødende typ music som fungerer stolt i fejl og fejl igen at have at have en 'ad folk'.

Det verste ved hustandvol is hoved mit skub, hvor vi kom til at ansætte de ansvarlige for de spille, slyngelagtige og paranugterede, som degenerale udkumpen til en dreng, der sover al om natten og fortalte hendes gule skinker fila ud. Musikken bestod af diverse elementer fra en utilfrent funder forkert. Hell, vi kunne jo overtale os selv, at leve i dette 'manglende og ind imellem at forstå det vi på vejen', til at at 'get and shrew'.

De vigtigste titelle "Forever Entangled" var det egentlig uden de helt store kloge bagtanker, vi syntes bare det elvæg' forløses.

Finding Our Sound: The Journey to RIMAUF Studio

SACRIFICIAL  
"Lords of torment" Demo '91

Yet another danish bands have released their debut demo - SACRIFICIAL! And what a debut! 4 songs of shredding, of which the song called "Ray of obscenity" without doubt is the very best! Actually that song has become one of my favourite songs! SACRIFICIAL aren't delivering anything original, but even though they seemed to have found their own style! Some of the guitar riffs are very DISMEMBER alike, but it's only the guitars! So don't worry, this isn't another ENTOMBED clone!! Oh yeah, not to forget, this demo has been produced by Jacob Hansen (INVOCATOR), so the sound quality is in top! I wouldn't be surprised if SACRIFICIAL gets signed soon, they deserve it! This demo comes with a glossy cover incl. pic/lyrics and the price is 6$ or 40DK, so what are you waiting for? Get "L.O.T." now!!

SACRIFICIAL's Explosive Debut: 'Lords of Torment' Demo Review

thrash giganter som FORBIDDEN, TESTAMENT og  
ARTILLERY er også ren guf og energi. Men generelt,  
synes jeg, at de fleste af mine idéer kommer når jeg  
sidder og over herhjemme for mig selv. De fleste af  
vores sang riffs er faktisk opstået ved, at jeg har siddet i  
mit værelse på et hæft, min guitar og så er der  
pludselig opstået et riff, som igen har inspireret til et odrt  
o.s.v.. Jeg vil næsten sige ligesom Marx sagde (Dog  
omskrevet til eget forbrug) "musik opstår gennem idéer,  
men ens egen musik må man sgu' selv finde på!!" At  
spille i bandet er også utroligt inspirerende og udfordrende,  
så man nogen ulemper. Der inviterer et eller andet til  
en sang ved de drejer et riff, så det fanger og passer ind i  
sammenhæng, så er det vigtigt at lyricsene er som  
naglet fast ellers er det svært at skrive nye sange.  
Det sidste "Hilse-takke-opfordre-oplyse-etc.-ord"?  
Tak for interviewet Martin, der har sendet meget godt  
på. Håber at l. læsere har fundet en interesse ved at lire  
indholdet. Håber I alt vil købe vores CD in chance. Har  
udgivelsen hos din lokale #efrænder, dem der er de  
fleste skal henv en PINGO eller G.D.C. DISTRIBUTION.  
Ved fascinerne anlæg de oplagte stuer er om et atom,  
robotter er på ordrebeggrundelse, det ønsker jeg folk vil  
instruere til forbandet den Danewang usikker. Peace, love  
og ander ventetiden broder.  

Tak til Kran for hans svar. Køb deres CD og mød op og  
se dem live.
