EDITORIAL

Hello there! Once again it's time for TRECHOMA Magazine... But hey, this, as you might have noticed, we are 2 editors. Not JUST 2 editors, but the usual TRECHOMA editor and... Kent Baden known as the LACERATION editor. We have combined our abilities and creativity to this "New" TRECHOMA. LACERATION and TRECHOMA has merged generally because Anders has wimped out leaving Kent alone with all the hard work to be done. At the moment of the LACERATION split this issue was almost released. So excuse us for not including all the (LACERATION) material.

We have been friends for quite a long time, and actually we've both co-operated on both zines... So we found it quite natural to merge the 2 small zines and hopefully create create 1 big zine.

It looks to be a bright future for the future TRECHOMA stuff. We have quite a lot of plans like for example a distribution company.

If you're interested in advertising in TRECHOMA in the future, contact us immediately and we'll send you our pricelist.

If the request is big enough, we will be doing a mailbox in the future. The mailbox is meant to feature YOUR letters, for example if you have some questions for us, if you're a trader or whatsoever.

This issue is a lot better than the former issues. and we'll keep progressing... BUT there's always something that can be changed, send us your opinions and suggestions.

Now read on and enjoy.....

A New Chapter: The Merger of TRECHOMA and LACERATION

# 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 The vocalist has now been  
replaced by John @ who used to  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's Powerful Debut: Lords Of Torment (1991 Demo)

AGONIZE  
"Fall"  
(Demo 1991)  

This is a brand new demo. Recorded in the middle of October. It's a 4 man band from Denmark, but why the fuck I haven't heard about these dudes before, I don't know. Suddenly they come out of the shadow and blows minds off! Really impressive death thrash from Denmark and probably the most promising. They play very controlled and seems so tight. They added some slow parts, which really makes it all much better. Taking some influence in ATHEIST and SADUS (and INCUBUS...). The vocalist sometimes reminds me of Tony from VIOUR (SINDROME), just a bit more growly. The riffs, some of the best I've also played thrash years ago so that I know what they are hearing. They encourage the dying Death Scene here, these dudes really have a chance in the future to be one of Denmark's best. Costs are 40 Kr or $6.

Emerging Titans: Denmark's Thrash Metal Revelation

CAUSTIC  
"An Integral Sense"  
(Demo 1991)

Denmark is getting more and more bands in the underground. The newest one must be CAUSTIC from Esbjerg. To be honest with you guys, my expectations weren't that high tuned... Now I see that I was wrong. CAUSTIC is playing doomy death metal in the vein of the godz PARADISE LOST. Their riffs are quite simple, but the music in a whole is goddamn catchy. Together with their crunchy riffs, they add a touch of lead guitar. Not to much, and certainly not too little. Those leads gives the right PARADISE LOST mood. The vocal, with shout vox (as MACABRE), and a massacre love (MASSACRE). Nick Holmes (PARADISE LOST) added the obligatory sound of John Tardy (OBITUARY) voice... This only can be some brutal piece as result! There is three in CAUSTIC; Mortens Bruzje (drums) and Søren J. (guitar/vox), and Rune A. (bass). Castern K. (2nd guitar) has just left the band. They will play live with GOREFEST and REVENANT. The sound is really good, and considering that it was recorded in a 4 channel studio, the sound is top-notch.   
I think 6½ (Everything) must be enough.

Emerging Doom: Caustic's Danish Death Metal Debut

# CHIRO THERIUM
**"First Chapter"**  
*(Demo 1991)*

2nd demo of these Danish thrashers but this time they've been in a 24 track studio, which of course sounds better. It was recorded in November. Anyway you'll get no less than 6 numbers + an outro. The total playtime is around 20 minutes, but they aren't boring. The demo starts up with an acoustic guitar intro played by the only guitarist, Simon, one thing I always loved about this band is the vocals of P. Poulsen, but on this demo, he screams a lot. I asked him and he said with a child smile, he screamed a lot and sometimes out of need. A very high-pitched singer, and what best placement. Also the drummer & bass player is good. And they are aggressive and controlled. If you’re into thrash with trials, I know you'll appreciate what they think even deathers like this. Get it for 6 or 7$.

Demo Days: A Glimpse into Chiro Therium's Thrash Evolution

# DEFAMATORY  
**"Time"**  
(Demo 1991)  

A new death band from Denmark, let us celebrate. DEFAMATORY plays deathrash with heavy parts, a bit in the vein of their city mates INVOCATOR. DEFAMATORY was formed back in '88. Since then, they have had so many line-up changes that I can't remember. The first thing you probably notice on this demo, is the very shitty sound. Then after that, you surely notice the music, deathrash/metal. I must admit that they aren't lacking of ideas, they are lacking of the abilities to play them hard and fast. Most of the instrumental themes is probably trying to copy the sound of Gylve "Fenriz" Nagell's one classic tune "Soulside Journey", but as that is rather impossible, the DEFAMATORY demos are to be honest with everyone. Bet­ter luck next time!!!! The demo, which comes with a poor 2 coloured cover, can be bought for 5$ every where.

Defamatory’s Raw Demo: A Danish Deathrash Debut

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  
"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

EIDETIC  
**"Mirror Passway"**  
(Demo 1991-92)

Those of you who've heard their  
first demo "Non-Consipicuous War-  
ning" knows that they're quite  
technical. Here's the 2nd demo re-  
lease from 'em. "Mirror Passway" is  
way more psychedelic and it rides  
on a much higher technical level.  
They've managed to be a bit more  
heavy aswell by adding 2nd gui-  
tarist. This demo delivers it all.  
doom, heavy technometal & inspi-  
ration from all kinds of music.  
Their tracks changes all the time,  
and believe me. it's hard to bang  
your head to. The creators to this  
operate their force on speed or in-  
gressingly. They're also surpris-  
the very varied patterns constan-  
tly ed more than they would go  
they add new breaks and time  
off the main sequence. Big  
beating is not considered!  
influenced But fair indeed.  
words, (The vocalist) also   
Jan-icke has much more vol-

Exploration of Technical Psychedelic Metal in 'Mirror Passway'

# INVOCATOR

## WAY BEYOND BELIEF

As you probably know, INVOCATOR recently released their magnificent debut LP "Excursion Demise" on the Swedish/German label Black Mark Prod. As we didn't feature them in the last issue, we surely wouldn't miss them now. INVOCATOR has recruited a new bassist called "Perle," and he has gotten an important start in the band, cuz INVOCATOR is touring Europe right now, supporting for DARK ANGEL, and that can easily be called something of an honor for them. INVOCATOR had a great underground following on their last demo "Alterations," and after getting voted the best Danish demo band in '90, Black Mark signed the Danish metalheads. Their "Excursion Demise" LP is worth spending your money on, so go and check it!

- I don't think band history is necessary, so why don't you just instead tell me a bit about each member in the band?
  
  Well, our normal line-up as been disturbed a bit, so we need one band member. But still we are Jakob Schultz (guitar) age 21, hobbies are food, beer, horror movies, death metal, fanzines etc. Per M. Jensen (drums) age 17, hobbies are death metal, rap music, porno movies etc. Jacob Hansen (myself) (guitar/vocals), age 20 my hobbies are food, music, elektronik etc., fanzines, horror movies, Thyge (from Hallo Hallo).

- You have been struggling quite hard to get a deal, and you got one on Wild Rags Rec., but you never released anything. What happened?
  
  It all started when CMFT released different bands demos on some EP's called "Demo series," we said to CMFT that we were interested in getting our "Alterations" demo out on such a deal, and then we re-recorded our "Insurrected Despair" track in a new, better version too. That's what was in May '90. Then Richard C. from Wild Rags said that we should let him release it, because he could release it and so. He was then gonna write us about the release date for the EP. We then received the track tapes. We then made all the lay-out and the design, as a cassette cover which Richard C. could use as a fold-out. So we had written him back a couple of times since we wanted to get our things done, but he never answered. In late August we received a contract from him too, and we read it through, and it was so easy a deal for him. We decided not to sign anything, 'cause we had now written him about 10 letters. We had released "Alterations" by ourselves, instead of waiting for no result. Then we wrote a letter to tell him that we weren't interested in everything at all.

- So, you didn't record this promo demo and caught a deal on Black Mark Productions. Did any other label show interest previously?
  
  "We actually recorded the promo demo after we’d been talking to the Boss, just so that he could hear some new tracks. We got the deal when we played in Norköping with ENTOMBED and EDGE OF SANITY (who "also got a record deal signed that night). So, we kept in touch, also got fixed on everything. We have now released everything on the label, also. And everything sounds “better.” I’m very happy, and it’s a good deal for us. We signed our license contract end of september, so think got it, and we signed for less than instead of 5, and we get a pretty often base as sort of 5. So thanks, it’s all in consideration. I’m very happy with everything."

*Everything has been quite prof from you. Do you think that if you show us a good piece of work, you then must do music also for getting to the quality of others. What's your opinion to be a musician?*

Thank you. I think as the topic is all about gloss and professionalism, that's what everybody is so stupid on. That's why I think it is music as a lower aspect, and you all have no result on it. We hope everybody can be on equal terms. That's what has been so much equal ideas, sometimes they've been so much of an effect on people. But see my ideas don't make respect. In a way, it's not what you think, that's what we do as well. Me and the entire wizardry have to play. I think it's good for me, because I'm close to respect for music. We did a lot of hard work on "Excursion Demise," and I think it was quite slow, but it’s also very technical at the same time. We describe our music as "fairy tales.” It's very much of what I mean, what people will understand, and good, that's how we will write the next one. I'm pretty sure you've noticed the incredible energy that is on the music and on every way by the band.

Invocator's Rise: From Underground Success to European Tours

INVOCATOR  
"Excursion Demise"  
(Black Mark Prod.)  

After they entered METAL FORCES demo reader charts as No. 1 in March '91 and selling about 1300 copies of their "Alterations" demo they got signed to Black Mark Prod. This vinyl is hopefully not the last one, cuz it fucking shreds. The "ingredients" are: fast controlled and sometimes funky bass, un-natural fast drumming using double bass drums very often, I really enjoy the sound of the cymbals. Raw quick vocals, sounding more natural than ever, which fits better. At last there are 2 guitars which follow each very very tight. Doing varied riffs faster than ever. Great production went into... The cover is executed well ... New this record is not, as it is also taking influences from ATHEIST and SADUS. Real metalheads! This debut LP in any case gives a good impression to the minds of people.

Thrash Metal Onslaught: Invocator's Debut

LITTLE DEVIL  
"Insemination"  
(Demo 1991)

Here's the 2nd LITTLE DEVIL demo... and I spot a difference between the 2 releases. Now they're much more thrashy than before. Right at the moment I got the tape in my hand, I went sceptical. I don't know about you, but to me a horse-dung on a cover is quite unusual and too vulgar. I don't like the vocals at all, so I'll just stop talking about them. The music is not bad. Being quite thrashy and aggressive LITTLE DEVIL has managed to be a bit technical aswell. I don't enjoy listening to this tape. It could be the vocals, the punk touch or the solos. Yes it's the solos and the vocals, both being too horrifying and to edgy. If you should be interested anyway, write to:
