CANNIBALISTIC MASTURBATION has been on it's way for over a year now, due to a lot of delays. Our first deadline was in December '91, but things did not go as smoothly as we thought they would... We think we have created something that is a bit special; combining kinds of metal, only concentrating on one country and having a "mag." included as well. The interviews are not that long nor informative, but it should give you the basic information about the bands. We have also included some addresses to other Danish underground bands/mags./distributors/shops etc., (don’t worry, we haven’t received any money for it) unfortunately, not all the Danish underground projects are included, there was not room for everything. We hope you will enjoy what you hear and read, we would like to hear your honest opinion about the tape and mag. (positive or negative), otherwise we can't progress. There might appear a volume II somewhere in the future (for interest in that one; only write to Christen). Support us, and support the Danish underground!!

Introducing Cannibalistic Masturbation: A Dive into the Danish Metal Underground

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

Ole Holm is answering, so read on:

**Bandhistory?**

"AGONIZE was formed in the fall '89, but back then it was a fun-band, with another name, with another musical direction and line-up. Since then there has been some big big changes in the band. It's hard categorizing our music, because it's a mix of many different styles. We think of ourselves as a fast deathmetal band, you can decide for yourself."

**Why are the band called AGONIZE?**

"We have chosen the name AGONIZE, because it represents our music and lyrics, and because it’s memorable, which is important if you want to move on."

**Lyrics?**

"The lyrics are concepts, and the theme is fall. Every single lyric is about individuals, who're living in the fall of their lives. We won't tell what every single lyric is about, otherwise no one would read them. I'm responsible for the lyrics, but the other members contributes with their feelings, thoughts and ideas." -AGONIZE interview continued...-

**Are you satanic?**  
"No, we are not satanic, but atheists like most other people. That's just the way we are. If you were forced to be religious, I think I would be satanic, because it's the most realistic religion, that sees humans as humans. I've nothing against satanists, but I find it ridiculous when someone think it's cool to be satanic, they don't seem to understand what it is all about."

**Future plans?**  
"Right now we're busy playing live, making new trax, and promoting ourselves. We try to be successful, and make better trax for the next demo."

**Merchandise?**  
"We don't have anything for sale right now, we plan to make t-shirts as soon as possible, but people have to buy our demo before we can afford it. (They have made t-shirts now—totally cool by the way—write for prices—CM). We will also make stickers, they are free with the demo, the demo costs 40 dkr./6$."

**What do you think about the Danish scene?**  
"The Danish scene is growing, that is really great, because many Danish bands have potential to become big like INVOCATOR, who're the first Danish death-thrash band to break through."

**A last word?**  
"Thanks for the interview, it's cool to be on the tape. To everybody: buy our demo, you won't regret it!!"  
(We agree—CM)

Exploring AGONIZE: A Journey Through Music, Name, and Themes

### Interview answered by Simon Melsen

#### Define your style
"Our style can be defined as; techno-triol thrash metal."

#### Band history?
"We started '89 rehearsing SLAYER and METALLICA tracks, but with another line-up. But after a lot of rehearsing we recorded our first demo ("Fractions Of Minority"), but under the name SINISTER. It sold well (and still does). After we lost our lead-guitarist, our bassist was replaced by the one we have now, and in November '91, we went to the Redhouse Studio, to record our "First Chapter" demo."

#### Future plans?
"We hope that we can find a record company, who would be interested in releasing some stuff with us. And we hope to play a lot of gigs in the future."

#### Tell us about your lyrics
"Our lyrics are about the human brain, and how much pressure a person can take, before he/she goes nuts. (I have to admit, I don't fully understand them.)"

#### Releases?
"As I wrote before, we hope that something will happen soon."

#### What do you think about our comp.?
"We think it's cool that someone makes them, because it helps the bands. "Buy both demos for 40 Dkr.""

Techno-Triol Thrash: The Journey of SINISTER

Janus Rønstrup is answering:

Please define your music  
"We think that we play thrash, but many who have heard us, think it is more a kind of speed/thrash. We don’t try to copy other bands, but personally I’m quite inspired of bands like; HEATHEN, LIVING COLOUR and DARK ANGEL." 

Band history?  
"DARK REGION was formed in late ’89, consisting of 3 people; Mads-bass, Perle-guitar (ex-EAGLES PREACH now INVOCATOR) and me-drums. Perle left in February, and Poul came instead. Brian (vocals) and Michael (guitar) joined a short time before our gig at Midtfyns Festival. They both left shortly after the festival. DARK REGION has been a 3-piece band for the last year. We have played 25 gigs until now (that was a long time ago - CM). Our bassist has recently left us, so if there’s any bassists who wants to join DARK REGION, contact me." 

What have you released?  
"We have not released any official stuff, but we have got some good reviews on different live tapes in zines like; Obsequies, Metalized and Vicious mag." 

Future plans?  
"To get a new bassist, and to kick ass live through the country and to make new songs for a demo, that hopefully will be more accomplished than 'Darkside visions'". 

What do you think about compilation tapes?  
"It’s always great when something happens in the underground, and new and upcoming bands has a chance to be heard outside of their area." 

A last word?  
"Thank you, you’re helping keeping the underground alive. If there are any bands in Denmark, who wants to arrange gigs with DARK REGION, just contact me." 

Janus Rønstrup, Marienlystvej 40, 5000 Odense.

Thrash Evolution: The Journey of DARK REGION

Interview with Kim Eriksen:

**Band history?**

"The band was formed in '88 by our drummer, and after a couple of changes, the band was formed and with this line-up: Kim - vocals, Rene - drums, Flemming - guitar, and Kenneth - guitar, so right now we need a bassist."

**Describe your music style**

"We try to play a mixed cocktail between thrash and death metal."

**Who’s responsible for your lyrics?**

"Both Rene and I have written the lyrics for the band. I don’t really think that my lyrics let some specific message shine through. Of course, I have a message when I write, but it is up to the individual, what he/she can derive of them. The lyrics are about small funny things we might meet in our lives, like death, drugs, dark powers, and life in other dimensions."

**Plans for the future?**

"Right now we’re working with new material for our forthcoming demo, so we have a lot to do. Of course, we hope that we can play some gigs in the nearest future, but the need of a bassist is giving us some trouble."

**What do you think about our extremely cool comp.???**

"I’m nearly crying by the thought that we are going to be on this comp. Let’s get serious, Christen, my man, I think it is a good idea that you are making this comp. (we agree - CM ho ho), and it gives us a chance to be heard by the masses, keep up the good work."

**A last word?**

"A last word, does that mean that I shall only answer with one word, or does it mean that I’m going to make a short end? Anyway, I want to thank you for the interest in our band, good luck with your tape. A last word: PIZZA."

An Insight into Kim Eriksen and the Band's Journey

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

# Extreme Feedback

Lars Ø. Hansen made the answers:

**Bandhistory?**

"EXTREME FEEDBACK was formed as a three piece band, under the name PESTILENCE, and consisted of: Lars-guitar, Per-drums and Jesper-bass. In '88, the name was changed to EXTREME FEEDBACK, and the style was also changed; from hardcore to thrashmetal. E.F. got 2 new members: Kim and Morten. They released their 1st demo in '89, and after a while came the second demo, "The Ultimate Form Of Disgrace". After success with both tapes, E.F. played some successful gigs with ARTILLERY, INVOCATOR, SLICED PIMPLES etc. In the end of the year Per and Jesper left to join INVOCATOR. After a long time the band finally found a new drummer and bassist. E.F. now: Lars-guitar, Kim-leadguitar, Morten Sø.-vocals, Morten Se.-bass and Søren-drums. In '90 we played some successful gigs, and there was a break because all our gear was stolen. '91: Demo 3 "Autumn Heroes" in February, EXTREME FEEDBACK played live all over DK in the summer '91, in cooperation with PIXIE KILLERS."

**How would you define your style?**

"Our style? Moshable wrote: TESTAMENT/BLIND ILLUSION meets METALLICA. Progress: STONE meets TESTAMENT." -Yep, it’s still EXTREME FEEDBACK...
-ized: The style is between SODOM and IRON MAIDEN.  
We just call it THRASH!!!"

**Why the name EXTREME FEEDBACK?**  
"As you know, we changed our name from PESTILENCE to E.F. It happened one day, as we were rehearsing, and my guitar made a lot of feedback (as always) and Per said: Man, that’s extreme feedback!"

**What about the lyrics?**  
"Lyrics? Our lyrics are very political, but the messages, if people want it that way, are about a better world and then you can, from that, ask 1000 new questions... or understand it !?!?"

**What do you think of this comp. tape?**  
"Our biggest dream is, that it will be a world success. Thanx. Thanx a lot!"

**Future plans?**  
"An impossible record release on a small record label called T-42 Rec. from Fyn, but nothing is for sure, we’re still negotiating."

-Latest news (hah): Lars have left the band, and Jesper has rejoined instead. Since Lars was their contact address, and he has left, we don’t really know who you should write to, but try it anyway:  
Lars Øland Hansen, Vesterbrogade 67, 1tv, 7100 Vejle.  
Guess he knows their new contact address.

The Evolution of Extreme Feedback: From Hardcore Beginnings to Thrash Metal Success

Torkild Thellefsen is answering:  
**Bandhistory?**  
"GERONIMO started as a 3-piece band, consisting of me on guitar, Peter on drums and Martin on bass. After a while, Per joined us as a singer, while he was still playing in EXTREME FEEDBACK (as everybody knows, he has left E.F., and is now in INVOCATOR-CM). Later Jakob joined us as a second vocalist. Now we have a deathbellplayer (???-CM) called Biffer. So the line-up is: Martin Thellefsen-guitar, Jakob Ørøm-vocals, Per M. Jensen-vocals, Torkild Thellefsen-guitar, Peter Rasmussen-drums and Per "Biffer" Mikkelsen-vocals/idiot/deathbellplayer."

**What have you released?**  
"We're selling three demos: "The McKay Dossier," "A Couple Of Words For You" and the new "A Journey To Oblivion"

**What does GERONIMO mean?**  
"GERONIMO was the name of a bitter apache chief, fits very well, besides that, the name books a kind of attackscream (just like Banzai), and we think that our music is quite fast and unpolished enough to attack the public with; and a last reason is, that we don't have to be afraid of anyone stealing the name".

**Tell us about your lyrics**  
"The lyrics on "A.C.O.W.F.Y." are typical hardcore lyrics, critical and argueing, the new are a bit more lyrical."

**Futureplans?**  
"GERONIMO will change from being a hardcore band, to something we call dead indian thrash."

**What do you think about the Danish scene?**  
"I don't have high thoughts about the Danish scene, everyone is only thinking of themselves. The only band, that has really helped us is INVOCATOR. Hardcore in Aalborg is dead as a doornail, instead of helping each other with gigs and so, we've fight each other. The need of solidarity is unfortunately the ruling force in the northern part of Denmark. All the gigs we have played except those in Esbjerg, have been arranged by us, and we have tried to convince other bands an opportunity to play, but they haven't done the same for us."

**A last word?**  
"Thanx for the interview and your interest in us, we look forward to see the finished result. We'll send our new demo to you, as soon as we like our demo."

Evolution of the Band GERONIMO: From Beginnings to Breakthroughs

ICONOCLASM ICONOCLASM ICONOCLASM ICONOCLASM.....

Answers by Jesper Nielsen;

**Bandhistory + define your style**

"ICONOCLASM was formed in the late summer of ‘91 (at that time carrying the name GENOCIDE), and soon we had a shitload of tracks, which we now (luckily) have thrown away for good. After some months of existence we had to quit for approximately 2 months during some problems considering rehearsal-room and equipment, but afterwards we were together once again writing material for our debut demo, which we recorded during the easterholidays on eight tracks with Jacob Hansen (SACRIFICIAL, AGONIZE, CAUSTIC and EIDETIC) as producer. About a month after the recording the demo was released, entitled "Obscurity", and with the band carrying the name ICONOCLASM. Right now we are writing new material, and we hope to do some gigs, when we can fill out enough time.  
Actually we don’t like labels, but we think, that our music can’t be described with other words than these two: Death metal."

**Releases?**

"We haven’t released anything but the "Obscurity" demo, but hopefully (okay, I don’t know if you hope) we will release a lot more (and better) material. At the time we don’t have any exact plans about our 2nd release, but we it’ll become a lot better than our debut demo."

**Lyrics?**

"Well, our lyrics are written both by Søren Møller (guitar), and myself, and deals with a lot of different topics, but here comes it all more exact: "Obscurity", the first track on the demo is written by Søren Møller, and it’s simply just about a guy in his dying hour. The other two tracks on the demo ("Beyond Life" and "Darkened Wasteland") is written by me and is respectively about a lost soul which can’t find peace, and therefore must remain in nothingness to eternity, and about the end of the world (doomsday) seen from a quite surrealistic point of view. By now have taken over writing all of our lyrics, and Søren is now composing the main part of our songs."

**Futureplans?**

"I think I have already told you our futureplans, but we’ll wait and see. Do a lot of gigs, releases some new stuff and have a lot of fun must be our main goal within the nearest future."

Jesper Nielsen, Fyrrerlunden 34, 6705 Esbjerg Ø. -ICONCLASM continued-

**What do you think about the Danish scene?**

"Personally I think the Danish underground scene is doing pretty good. There’s a lot of great bands, and the record labels is (I think) keeping an eye on the Danish bands, I mean INVOCATOR, MACERATION and KONKHRA has been signed almost in a row, and I think there's to come (just listen to some of the newer demos and you’ll know what I mean)."

**Last word?**

"Thank you, Christen, for this interview and good luck with CANNIBALISTIC MASTURBATION (quite unoriginal to say, but what the hell...). (Glad you’re saying your honest opinion, we need it - CM). Order our demo "Obscurity" for 40 dkr. or 5 US$ (remember to enclose something to cover the postage) and keep supporting the underground scene. Yeah, I think that’s all, bye for now."

From Genocide to Iconoclasm: The Birth of a Death Metal Band

The interview is answered by their manager Esben S. Sørensen so read on;

**Bandbiography**  
ILL DISPOSED got together during '91, coming from local bands; SLASHER and MORTITOR RAHM. The line-up is; Lasse D.R.B.-guitar, Hans Wagner-lead guitar, Bo Sommer-subwoofer, Michael Enewoldsen-drums and Ronnie R.B.-bass. Unlike most newcomers in death and grindcore, ILL DISPOSED are not a bunch of teenies who’ve had their first metal experience with METALLICA’s "And Justice For All...". These guys, who’re in their early or mid-twenties, are incarnated metalfreaks, with their roots going way back. Different backgrounds, stretching from punk to thrash and death metal, have resulted in a wide range of musical abilities such as proper solos, harmonies etc. It’s a very powerful sound and through this 5-track tape ("The Winter Of Our Discontent") (recorded during the 27th-29th January '92 in a 16-track DAT studio) captures an often-asked question; "Is solos an approach to metal music?" and if you’re into harmonic guitarwizardry, this is definitively a good appetizer for what to expect. Massive, repulsive, blooddripping riffs performed with a speed a tightness not surpassed by many. Most astonishing, however, is probably Bo’s vocals, growling hate, which is done without any kind of effects, whatsoever, apart from a few overdubs. Check us out and you’ll agree - THEY KILL."

**What have you released?**  
"Untill now only this demo, but;" (but what?? - CM)

**Future plans?**  
"Right we’re dealing with a french label called IN-FEST RECORDS who wants to release a cd with ILL DISPOSED. It’s a little label, though it’s distributed by Semaphore, Nuclear Blast and Wild Rags. We don’t know anything about the release-date, but I think we will have to wait half a year or so."

**A last word/something funny to say?**  
"That Denmark has become european football champions, even if they (almost) can’t play football. That’s one of the funniest things that has happened for a long time. (Gee, you must have a boring life - CM). The wierdoes gets all the luck. I think that’s why we have got the record-deal. Ha Ha."

Unleashing Metal Fury: The Rise of ILL DISPOSED

[limo:lt]

This is an obituary, not an interview, because this great band have unfortunately split up here it comes; 

The band was started in '88 by Werner Heyckendorff (guitar) and Peter Olsen (guitar). Later came Peter Lundgren (drums) and Kenneth Jørgensen, and for a while a singer called Rolf Denmann, but he got replaced by Brian Albrechtsen. They played 2 gigs with that line-up in the spring of '90. One of them was supporting MUCKY PUP in Nakskov, and the other was a local gig with 6 other bands. Brian and Peter O. left the band in the summer '90, and later also Peter L. (to play drums in RIGID DOMAIN). They got replaced by Anders Høg (guitar/vocals) and Kim Kristensen (drums) (both ex-INTERRUPTION). When Anders and Kim joined the band, they changed their music, from thrashcore to death metal. Then they made their fabulous "Presto Fortissimo" demo (which means fast and powerful). (They have also made two videos with the old line-up, but unfortunately none of them were for sale, but they were showed on Næstved Local tv & TV STOP from Copenhagen). The band played live with KONKHRA and FURIOUS TRAUMA in Copenhagen, with INSANE and SQUIRM in Næstved, and once again in Næstved with RIGID DOMAIN. The cover on the "Presto Fortissimo" demo (made by ex-singer Brian, also known for his drawings in PROGRESS) was a concept; death is not real(???-CM), the band believed in reincarnation, instead of the usual "death is the end," and that's why he called the band IMMORTAL. Later Kim left the band (he got very religious), and the band split up. He didn't want to be christian and play death metal at the same time, so he chosed his religion. Later he changed his mind (about the music) and the band started again, but only as a fun-band and without Anders. R.I.P.

LITTLE DEVIL LITTLE DEVIL LITTLE DEVIL LITTLE DEVIL,

Johnny Jonaff is answering:

**Bandhistory + line-up?**

"Johnny Jonaff-drums, Claus Zeeberg-guitar/vocals, Tage Hegner-bass/vocals. (Guess he forgot something)"

**Why a name like LITTLE DEVIL, are you satanic?**

"The name LITTLE DEVIL has something to do with the little devil we all got inside of us, and sometimes it's hard to handle, you know, it can be pretty difficult not being an asshole once in a while. We're definitely not satanic, otherwise we should have been called "little satan" or something like that."

**Any merchandise?**

"We sell two demos + t-shirts. Stickers are for free (they're totally cool-CM). The demos are: "Sleep is Small Pieces Of Death" and "Insemination.""

**What are your lyrics dealing with?**

"Our lyrics are about all kinds of nasty things, and about things like: pollution, human hatred, the European Common market and plastic guys that look like poodles. But also more happy lyrics concerning death, depression, decay, loss of oxygen etc."

**Plans for the future?**

"If we had a fuckin' lot of money we would make a LP, but we don't, so someone else has to do it for us. It is possible but it takes time. So we'll just play a lot of gigs, mostly on Sjælland and Fyn."

**Something funny to add?**

"That have to wait till there's something funny to laugh about!! OK?" (Happy guy, ha-CM)

Inside the Mind of LITTLE DEVIL: An Interview with Johnny Jonaff

Another great Danish band: **PIXIE KILLERS**, they play great power/thrash, and have 2 demos out; the first under the name **ATRO CITY** and one under the new name, it is called "Haunting Season" and it really kills (pixies). And rumour once said they had a record deal, and that's why we didn’t contact them; but write and ask, it’s worth the trouble - buy their demo(s) 40 dkr. a piece (or 6$); Tue Madsen Heiberggade 10 st.th. 8000 Aarhus C.

PUGNACITY PUGNACITY PUGNACITY PUGNACITY PUGNACITY  
-Answers by Michael Agger......-  
**Bandhistory**  
"It started with Søren, Simon and Henrik, who started doing some fun-thrash under the the name SENSELESS DEATH, but in July '90 they became more serious, changed the name to GOTH and started playing death metal. In December '90 they released their "Celestial Decay" reh. tape, with Søren-guitar, Simon-bass and Henrik-drums/vocals. But Henrik didn't want to sing anymore, so they started looking for a new vocalist. At that time I was singing in a black/doom band called NEPROLESS, but we had lots of line-up problems! 4 months before, me and Søren had met eachother at an INVOCATOR/DEADHEAD gig, and at that time I had told him about NEPROLESS-so he decided to ask me if I would join GOTH-and I said yes, so I've been in the band ever since. We changed our name to PUGNACITY in January '91, it fits better to our music."  
**What have you released?**  
"We have, so far released 2 reh. tapes, the "Celestial Decay" reh. and a 2 track promo tape, recorded in some months before our newest reh. "Sanctus, Sanctus". (None of them are available anymore.)  
**Futureplans?**  
"In February '92 our debut demo "People Live Their Lives..." will be out, it will be recorded in the Borsing recording studio, a 16-track studio owned by Jan Borsing (bassist in PIXIE-KILLERS), and will be with proff. recorded tapes and proff. printed covers-advance orders are taken now,40 Dkr.-5.00 stomp (Denmark), 5$ (Scandinavia) and 6$ (elsewhere). We will hopefully play some gigs after the release of the demo, people who can arrange gigs, please write to me."  
**What does PUGNACITY mean?**  
"Pugnacity means lust for fighting, war etc., but it can also mean to be kind against eachother, chose for yourself... We took the name because it fits perfect to our lyrics and music."  
**A last word?**  
"I would like to say thanx to CANNIBALISTIC MASTURBATION COMPO for doing this, and then I would like to say hello to Thomas Bøgh Larsen (you rule) and Jesper Larsen + the rest of NUGATORY."

"We started around '86-'87 as Denmarks nr.1 noise band!!! Later we got more serious and found inspiration in the NAPALM DEATH lp "Scum", that was released in '87. Our music is in the grind/thrash/hardcore category, a lot of people think we sound like AGATHOCLES, but they're also pretty cool !!"

**What have you released?**

"The only thing we have released with cover and everything is our demo called "Celestial Mindwarp". Of course there's a lot of rehearsals and livetapes around on the traderlists." (I think their demo is deleted, but write 'n ask, it's worth the trouble!)

**Why a name like SARDONIC DEATH?**

"I suggested sardonic because it's a cool word!! "Cynical". Janus our former bassist wanted to put death on. At that time there wasn't many bands with a "death" in their name. There isn't any specific reason why we're called SARDONIC DEATH, it's a name."

**Tell about your lyrics**

"Our lyrics have changed a lot since we started. The old lyrics on the tape are about how stupid people can be, a racist, and all the stupid things that you can read in a newspaper. "Plane" is about some people who have landed on a mountain after an accident. They have no food, so they have eat each other to survive! And they certainly do!! "The Headless Shadow" & "Suicidal Scarecrow" are pure acid! "The Edge Of The Grave" is about the Russian revolution (the first)."

**Futureplans?**

"We have plans for a new demo or maybe a new bassist or vocalist. We have talked with some people who might arrange some gigs for us in Denmark."

**Something nut to say before we end this interview?**

"A rottor stuck his head up from a sewer and told me: Cannibalistic Masturbation eats your brain!!!!! (Right - you're absolutely right) I have started a funband with guys from SACRIFICIAL and FUNERAL PYRE. We have got some names: Bottle Thrower, Gruesome Tasks and Munkblood…" (the band is called GRUESOME TASKS)

Write to Kenneth Thomsen, Sønderalle 20 E, 6630 Rødding. SARDONIC DEATH; pretty guys.

## SUICIDE SOLUTION SUICIDE SOLUTION SUICIDE SOLUTION

Pelle Jakobsen did the boring answers;

### Bandhistory

"SUICIDE SOLUTION started in the spring '91, consisting of: Dan-guitar/vocals, Pelle-guitar, Rene-drums, and Anders-bass. But he was replaced by Lars-bass/vocals (he has also left, now they have Manoy-bass). Our music is a mixture of the music we're listening to (from BEASTIE BOYS to DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA). Our music has been called nearly everything; Punk, power, thrash and death (it's certainly not death-CM), so you can decide for yourself."

### What have you released?

"We have 2 rehearsals (none for sale-CM), and there'll be a live tape in March, and we are working on a demo."

### Why a name like SUICIDE SOLUTION?

"It doesn't have a meaning, but we thought it sounded cool, so we just took it. You can also say, it's a kinda suicide solution, listening to us."

Interview with Kenneth Thomsen of Sardonic Death: Band History and Insights

Lars Bangsholt is answering:

**Bandhistory?**

"We started in the beginning of '90, and have until now released a live-demo, the line-up was: Jakob Schultz-bass, Rune Hansen-guitar/vocals, Jacob Hansen-drums/vocals and me on guitar. In the beginning of '92 was the time for a line-up change, we got Kræn Meier instead of Rune, and Lukas Meier instead of Jacob Hansen."

**What kind of music do you play?**

"I don’t know how to describe our music, but I think we play death thrash."

**What have you released?**

"We have made a bad live tape, in a month or two we’ll release our debut lp. Then we’ll make t-shirts."

**Lyrics?**

"Our lyrics deals with the spiritual world and death, what’s after death and so."

**Has death metal become a cheap trend?**

"Yes I think so, because too many bands gets a record deal (which they don’t deserve) (just like us), as long as you played that metal you’re able to get a record-deal. But there’s also lots of cool death metal bands, like SUFFOCATION, MORBID ANGEL, INCUBUS."

**Something funny to add?**

"No, not really, because I’m a boring scooter."

**Last word?**

"Thanx for the interview, and good luck with your tape."

Chronicles of a Death Thrash Band: An Interview with Lars Bangsholt

- **DENIAL OF GOD** - Azter and Ustumallagam is answering:

### Bandhistory + define your style
"The band was formed 5/7/91, when we rehearsed for the first time. The line-up was: Blackpriest-guitar/vocals/Nauseous Corpse Vomit-drums and Necrosadist-bass. Nauseous Corpse Vomit left the band in November 91, because he didn’t agree on wearing corpse-/warpaint live. Necrosadist started singing, because he had a more brutal voice than Blackpriest, so he stopped playing the bass. In March '92, we got a new bassist, called Kulmar. We changed our names, due to the fact, that we weren't satisfied with the old names, and there's lots of others called Necrosadist. Our new lineup is: Ustumallagam-vocals/Azter-guitar and Kulmar-bass (Nauseous Corpse Vomit played session drums on the demo-CM). We play pure fuckin' black metal!"

### Merchandise?
"Right now we have our first and only demo called 'Oscularium Infame'. It costs 40 dkr. (DK)/6$ (Europe) and 7$ (elsewhere). Soon we'll make some T-shirts (with the 'Oscularium Infame' cover) (in XL). But write and ask."

### Why all this satanic stuff?
"Because we find it interesting, it's something we're
 - **DENIAL OF GOD**

  really into, it feels right !! It's not just an image !! We're both satanic, and we are true to what we do! Kulmar is an atheist, but he hates christianity !! We don't like people who`re only into it because of the image, they are the ones who wimp out! Why do you think black metal almost died in the eighties?"

**Tell us about your lyrics**

  "Our lyrics are dealing with a lot of stuff, but always concerning death, because that is essential for black/death metal. "Dethrone The Tyrant God!" is about the day when God and heaven will be destroyed by the legions of hell! "Feel The Wrath (Of The Nocturnal Slayer)" is about a mad slayer, who's doing some very nice things to his victims. "The Curse Of The Evil Moon" is about some sorcerers who're doing a destruction ritual under the moon, and they get killed. The new lyrics will be even darker! We have lyrical inspiration from: BATHORY (old), (the true) MAYHEM, DARKTHRONE, VENOM, HELLHAMMER and from old CELTIC FROST"

**Futureplans?**

  "To play some extreme concerts for some extreme people. Get a drummer. The concerts will be with corpse paint, bloodspitting, spikes, nails, chains, bulletbelts, blood etc. HAIL SATAN !!!!!

**A last word or something funny to say?**

  "Thanks for having us on CANNIBALLISTIC MASTURBATION, you rule (thanx-CM)!! Something funny? No... only pain!! Hail Satan!!
