Hello there!

Welcome to the 1st of hopefully many issues of the NRG Mag.

In this the first issue we have tried to be as open minded as possible and tried to cover alot of different music styles, and not being categorised only as a death metal mag or just a hardcore mag. We hope that we've succeded in making a magazine which alot of people with different taste of music will enjoy. We also hope that you will of course read the articles and interviews with the bands you like, but also read the ones with the bands you obviously at first don't like, but try to keep an open mind.

We will of course like to hear your opinion of the mag.

Enjoy and cheers!

Bofca Bofca!

Yours

NRG Mag: A Journey Through Diverse Music Styles

Eidetic is a new techno metal band from Denmark, formed in the start of 1988 by Jonas Rendbo. Before changing the name to Eidetic 1 year ago and at the same time becoming more serious with their music, they played about ½ year under the name ODD BALD MEN. The line-up is the same since they started, but they've now got a vocalist who joined the band in June 1990, so the line-up is: Jonas Rendbo (bass), Peter Lassen (drums), Dan Andersen (guitar) and Morten Knak (vocals). Morten has already debuted live in August when they played together with DEADHEAD (NL), and GERONIMO (DK), before that the band had played a gig with INVOCATOR (DK) and HECTIC (NL), although the music is hard to compare their music isn't that similar. 

I actually don't like the way Morten sings, but I'll hopefully get better on the demo which should be recorded and released in September. I suggest that you buy their demo which I'm sure will be very good. You might as well when you're about stealing some money from your little sisters guinea pig to buy yourself this demo take a few dollars more to buy yourself one of Eidetic's very fashionable T-shirts.

Rise of Eidetic: Denmark's Emerging Techno Metal Force

GECONINO

This is straight ahead and fast hardcore in the vein of MUCKY PUP and DEAD KENNEDYS. More precise I would say that the funny things on this demo remind me a lot of MUCKY PUP and the speed of the music is definitely DEAD KENNEDYS who’ve inspired the band. This demo contains 20 songs, 2 of them is cover versions of DEAD KENNEDY’S > Nazi Punks Fuck Off < and ANGRY SAMOAN’S > Light Out. And together with comes a 10 page booklet with pics, comics, and great stuff like that. The band has got humor, which makes their things much more varied, interesting and funny compared to lots of other hardcore bands, and they have these guys not at all corny.

With all these great things like a sing along booklet etc. and such nice and here and there nice lyrics, therefore one would have to give away for free when you buy the demo; it’s simply an offer you can’t refuse to buy.

The best hardcore I've heard for a long time, now that garage punk and death metal is the hip things.

**INVOCATOR**

Invocator is a four piece death thrash band from Esbjerg, Denmark. The band was formed under the name BLACK CREED in 1986, then in 1987 the line-up was changed, so only two original members was left and that was Jacob Hansen (guitar/vocal) and Simon Melsen (drums), the new members was Jakob Schultz (guitar) and Otto Hansen (bass). A long with the line-up change the name was changed to INVOCA- TOR and with this line-up they recorded their first demo ‘Genetic Confusion’ in september 1988.

In december 1988 Simon Melsen left the band, and were replaced by Erik Koeza (drums). Also Otto Hansen left and the new man on bass was Mikkel Hensel. In 1990 after having played a few gigs with this line-up Per M. Jensen (drums) joined the band when Erik Zoega was kicked out because he was to lazy. Mikkel Hensel left the band a few weeks later and were replaced by Jesper M. Jensen (bass).

Per and Jesper were before joining IN- VOCATOR both playing in another dan- nish thrash band called EXTREME FEEDBACK. With the line-up consist- ing of: Jacob Hansen (guitar/vocal), Jacob Schultz (guitar), Per M. Jensen (drums) and Jesper M. Jensen (bass) the band released their second demo ‘Al- terations’ in 1989.

We here have an interview with the band where they talk a bit about both demos and other stuff.

**NRG**: Your second Demo ‘Alter- ations’ reached many further than I believe you expected?

**Jacob**: And very positively too.

**Schulze**: We sold about 500 copy’s in the first 3 months it was out.

**Per**: And it was only in 3 towns.

**Schulze**: Now we have sold over 1100 copy’s

**NRG**: Have you send the tape to some record companies and how has their response been so far?

**Schultz**: Yes, we have send it out and one of the interested so far has been Wild Rags Records?

**Per**: He's going to release the ►Alterations‹ demo as an ep., with a re-recorded version of the song De- despair from the first demo ‘\Genetic Confusion.

And later we will probably release a full album.

**Jacob**: Rock Owl Records from Denmark have also been interested, but they wanted to release it as a demo, so it's better with Wild Rags.

**JNRG**: How many demos have you sold outside Denmark?

**Schultz**: just look at ◄SLICED PIMPLES . . . nobody knows the band outside Denmark although they got two albums out now.

**Jacob**: We could just as well make a new demo instead it would be bet- ter distributed than an album from Rock Owl.

**NRG**: On Wild Rags you have to pay for the recording yourselves, do you think all bands get the same offer like you did?

**Per**: Yes, I think all bands get the same offer. Wild Rags isn’t the big- gest name but they are better than many of the major on the hardware.

**NRG**: Are Denmark getting better bands the last 1/2 year?

**Schultz**: It’s looking fore forward, Demolgern have been improved. I saw their gig in the next town here on Jutland and it was excellent it kept you there, it wasn’t boring.

**Per**: Also bands like Konkhra and Cancer are doing well and one of the most promising and progressive (Sluggish) came out of the Esbjerg under around, or should I say ‘because they wanted something? New not to play the same riffs as other bands, they simply got tired. I played there first gig together with our old line-up of the band.

Every weekend after that they had a gig somewhere Denmark and I hugely suggest that they gave us a push forward when Per and Jesper joined the band.

— **JRR** joined 'cause they've also got some ideas for the arrangements of the songs where before it was only Schultz and I who made them.  
**NRG:** You've said that you were lucky when you got Per on drums and Jepter on bass in the band, is the reason that the danish underground has a lot of inbreeding, 'cause there's not coming that many new musicians in Denmark?  
**Per:** The ones who talks shit about our lyrics is the people who only want's SEX PISTOLS lyrics, 'cause they cant stand bands who are putting alot of work in the lyrics and are making lyrics with a deeper meaning in. These guys should try to sit down and read our lyrics and then they will find out that there's something in them that you can perhaps compare with your own life, instead of just looking at the words and then laugh.  
**Schultz:** People who just laughs at our lyrics is in my opinion too lazy to listen to our music, so you cant take it serious, 'cause then it's also a disaster if we guide some of them.  
**Per:** For some people it's maybe hard to understand these complex things about them 'cause then they don't know what they deals with.  
**Jacob:** I write lyrics about things I get sad or happy about. I can also understand if some people don't understand the lyrics, but we can't write their lyrics, one cant think the song was about. . . . That would also be stupid.  
**NRG:** Who has inspired you to write these strange lyrics?  
**Jacob:** I don't know, that must be DARK ANGEL. They has still got this weird way of writing their lyrics where you have to really sit down and read them, it's like reading a book by Stephen King. If people want's these simple lyrics they might as well buy themselves some Pixi books (danish childrens books - ed.).  
**Schultz:** There's not that many who understand DARK ANGEL's lyrics either and are therefore saying that we suffer by the DARK ANGEL syndrome.  
**Jacob:** Yes, or the dictionary syndrome.  
**NRG:** How do you think the future will be for the danish underground, 'cause it seems like there has been some fights between some bands. Some bands are constantly criticising other bands?  
**Per:** Just read MOSHABLE (danish hardcore mag written in english - ed.), where another danish thrash band called RIGID DOMAIN are saying alot of shit about our lyrics and they don't know our way of thinking so we do ourselves. They write all those strange things about us and submits them, but most of it are not true, but in some way they get that we are just saying, there are bands who are friends with eachother and it really looks like there is never an arm to other thrashers around what they are saying about us.  
**Schultz:** And how will the atmosphere be like the next time we meet them, it will simply be cold.  
**Per:** Claus from RIGID DOMAIN also has been spending a whole amount of my drums on the »Alteration« studio 'cause I wasn't able to play and we have been ripped by the Odense biletters and that idiot had asked about me all the time, and it bothered me.  
There are some bands who use more time and energy on destroying each other instead of being one strong unity where we could help eachother. 

**Jacob:** No, it looks like there's co-ming some new bands all the time, of course some of them goes down again, but it's right that Copenhagen bands is changing their lineup's all the time so they dont know what is happening themselves.  
It's right that Schultz and I have said that we were lucky to get Per and Jesper in the band 'cause all the good musicians plays in other bands and so did Per and Jesper, but they decided to leave the other band EXTREME FEEDBACK 'cause they didn't play the music they was into at the moment.  
**NRG:** On your new demo it's especially the bass and the drums which have become better compared to the likes on the first demo - Genetic Confusions, where the bass was way so-so?  
**Jacob:** It's right, we had to keep the bass low on the first demo 'cause our previous bass player didn't play very tight, and he was also very new in the band as Per was on the new demo so I had to get them to play it, so that just great.  
**Per:** I've also made some changes on the drums.  
**NRG:** We have to talk about your lyrics, 'cause you've got alot of kritik for them, because they are so strange and you have to sit down and read 'em carefully to understand 'em. Why have some people reacted so negative on them, do you think? Jacob: I've always seen us as being open and nice to others when we come's to other places.
NRG: Have you got anything weird to say, before we end this interview?
Jacob: What would other bands have said - eh . . . they would have said, buy our new demo/album it's the best ever.
No, thanx alot for this interview and good luck with the mag.
Per: 2+2, that’s weird enough, isn’t it? O.K. Look out for our ep. which will be out sometime in October.
Thanx alot to you guys for this and the best of luck to you in the future.

# PIXIE KILLERS

This is a pretty impressive demo.  
PIXIE KILLERS are for some of you better  
known as ALTRO CITY, a danish techno-  
thrash band founded in 1987. The line-up  
has been changed since ATRO CITY, they  
have got a new vocalist and a new drummer.  
The line-up is now Jan Borsing - bass, Tue  
Madsen - guitar, Morten Friisnær - vocals  
and Anders Gyldenøhr - drums.  
The music hasn't changed that much since  
their great ATRO CITY demo. This is a bit  
better than their first demo and shows a big  
improvement overall in what the band try to  
achieve, they have kept the more you  
listen to a demo contents a sort of a ballad,  
which they get away with pretty good, I  
think.  
Anyway I suggest you get this demo to your  
collection.

# MACERATION

MACERATION is a four piece death metal band from Denmark. Formed in January by Jacob Hansen (drums/vocals), Rune Hansen (guitar/vocals) and Lars Bangsholt (bass). 

The line-up was changed about 2 months later when Jakob Schultz joined on bass and Lars started playing guitar. MACERATION comes from the same town as INVOCATOR and two of the members Jacob Hansen and Jacob Schultz does also play in INVOCATOR. MACERATION have just released a live demo which was recorded at their debut gig in Esbjerg together with TRI-CHINA (DK) and DARK THRONE (N). The live demo has good sound quality and contains 4 of MACERATION's own tracks + cover versions of OBITUARY, Slowly We Rot, _OBITUARY_, Godly Beings, DEATH - Left To Die, and DEFECATION - Intro:megaton Vestige of Earthly Remains. MACERATION seems to be inspired by AUTOPSY/CARCASS and other brutal death metal bands. In consideration that this is the debut. gig and this is only a live demo I think it's great and don't think it has something to do with INVOCATOR, not even Jacob's vocals has 'cause he's singing with a more brutal death metal voice in MACERATION. 

All death metal freaks should get this great live demo and also watch out for their forthcoming studio demo.
