HEAVY METAL PIRATE ZINE

So, it’s sometimes hard to decide where to start. There are so many things I’d like to know about your band and band’s activities. But we can start with the point if its existence. Namely, I’d like to ask you how do you look at your position in the band and what Disinfect really presents for you? I mean, do you feel your music as a way of expressing your thoughts and attitude, or you just like to be involved in such an activities ‘cos it presents a great fun for you?
I´m one of the creators of DISINFECT and now the last one of them. The band is very importend to me because I love Death Metal and I allways want to play in a band especially when I can play the sort of music I like. I played in different bands before but it´s never like when you make everything on your own! Yes, the music is a way to express my self, thoughts and feelings. I can say it in a special way, through music and it´s great. The other thing is it makes a lot of fun to make music and to play and meet new people. You can´t make music without fun it´s in the same importend like the other things.

You describe your music as “fast and brutal Death Metal”. Let me ask you this: if we consider the term brutal as an ordinary term, we all know what does it mean. But if we consider it from the musical point of view, how could you explain or describe it? Or, why do you describe your music performance as brutal?
The meaning of this verb is like to say the music is heavy, extreme or hard or many other verbs.... It´s the way we play. Like I said it´s fast, deep and with many emotions. You should see our live performans and the emotions and feelings we put in. If you see us live you´ll think this guys kick ass and they love what they do!

Sociocritical thoughts. Yes, it’s quite correct description of themes Disinfect uses in the lyrics. Your lyrics are short and simple, but sharp as a razor. And you really have got the guts to tell things which people do not want to see, do not want to emphasize as a problem. Some things are presented on very metaphorical way what increases the deep-thinking meaning of it. Actually, in your opinion what should be changed in the global society first? Is there still a possibility to make our lives better and suitable for a decent human beings? It seems to me that psycho-social aspect influences your music a lot. Am I right?
Something importend we´re not a political band! We just say what we thing and this are different themes. Our lyrics are about the things that we see and think they are wrong or made wrong. Like the human race is only a short period on this earth and they made the world bleed only in some years. Other things´re like about the people how they live with each other, the only importend thing is money and the career. Or the social scum you see everyday like child-pornography, drug dealers or people they don´t want to work but they are healthy and young.
But we´ve some gore things, too. After killing is one of them it´s about a serialkiller.
I think there´re a lot of possibilitys to change things but money rules the world and it´s more importend then to make things better. The only way is if it´s profitable. Politians have to make something but there´re much more importend people behind them and they say how the game should be played! But everyone can do something and should never stop to say something against this stupidity that happens everyday!!
Some lyrics are metaphoric like you said and have to be read maybe more then ones to understand them. We have a lot of influences. Yes, and the psycho-social aspect like you see.

For so many years, I would even dare to say for decades, metal is a taboo theme, something what is in the minds of “ordinary” people imagined as evil and unacceptable. In your opinion why is it so? Maybe because of the paradox that many people are afraid of the things they do not understand?
Just look on the metal heads, you see some people wearing black clothes, long haired, looking evil (especially the black metal ones haha) drinking beer and smoking pot. That´s the reason haha
No, I think the reason is the whole media. Especially TV. They say this are evil kids, they are satanists, eating little children, taking drugs, no work and listen to very evil music. The most people thing it´s true because they don´t ask what´s behind this people. The most are funny, cool people. There´s a lot of difference between them like everywhere. There´re people they do wrong things but there´re a lot "normal" people doing the same! But it´s no more so hard to live this way like years before.

It seems to me that you pay a lot of attention on live gigs. In my opinion, that’s the best way of promotion and a good entertainment as well. But, as we all know from our own experiences, we cannot avoid the fact that something sometimes can go wrong. Have you got some really bad experiences connected with your live performances? Something as conflicts, organization problems, incident in the audience during your gig or anything of that kind.
No, we never had problems. Maybe some day haha but I hope not!!

Your web site is very attractive and very well designed, I must admit. If we consider Internet as a new kind of media, what do you think about it? In your opinion is it very useful way of promotion?
Thanx! Internet is a great way to promote your music or something other!! It´s a very importend invention. We made a lot of contacts, gigs and friends through this media. It´s much more easier and faster to write to people and show your music and band. When you go on a page you see everything importend about the band like the music, history, photos and a lot of other things. Or like now a interview.
The money you spare´s a other factor. The whole porto you don´t have to pay, that´s really a lot!!

Talking about live performance, I’d like to know this: do you feel as the part of the crowd? Dou you act as Disinfect and its fans are the kind of symbiosis?
Yes, it´s a symbiosis with the fans. When you see they like your music you feel great and put more energy in the music and the people see it the same, when the band makes a good show with good music they get more enthusiastic.You should never forget that you´re just a part of the whole. You´re nothing without fans and its hard to get fans if you act arrogant! There´re to many good bands and you shouldn´t make it this wrong way. Second I´m in the same way fan of other bands and therefore I knew both sides.

Questions about influences are very frequent, but at the same time, very interesting. Many of us want to know what “pushed” you to start that particular way of musical expression. So, I want to avoid standard and frequent questions and I’ll invert it this way: how do you look at the bands which influenced you – as a factor you can copy or as a factor you can use as a base to build up your own style using their experience as a “driving force”?
The beginning was in the age of 4-5 years when I listen my first AC/DC LP. Some years later I got my first guitar but I smashed it against the wall because I thought when you´ve a guitar you can play it but you´ve to practice first haha I knew it better when I was 13 and that´s the beginning of my music career.
No, I don´t want to copy someone!!! This is a dead end if you try this. But you can learn and take something out of the music that others do but never copy it! You´ve to stand on your own feed and make your own music some day.

What’s happening on the German scene nowadays? If I ask you to determine the Disinfect’s position on that scene, what can you tell me about that?
The German scene was a Black Metal scene before some years but now Death Metal is growing bigger and bigger and that´s great! The only big problem the people don´t want to go to concerts anymore. There´re to many concerst and that´s to much.
We´re just a part of the underground scene and it´s great to be there and to get the chance to proof our music. The other thing´s we´re a young band and not so long in this scene with DISINFECT. But we made a lot in this short time!

I’ve got the impression that there are really good relationships established among members of various metal bands in Germany and I think you can co-operate on the high level with many musicians. Is that so? Namely, here in Croatia a huge problem is obvious: bands hate each others, they envy to each other if someone is more successful and such a things. And I see it as a huge problem, ‘cos Croatian metal scene suffers a lot because of that bad attitude. It seems that many of those musicians, forgot the statement “United we stand”. What is your opinion about it?
Yes, we´ve a lot of good friends here in Germany and I hope there will be more! But not only Germany I´ve a lot of contacts to people worldwide and I met a lot of the bands personaly and sometimes we played with them. But we´ve the same problems with some bands they think they´re better or they get jealous when you have more success then they. That´s really stupid we´re all the same and want to make cool music and get fun. This´s no more fun if you think only about other musicians how good they´re or what they did or can do they should put the energy better in their own music and don´t waste the time with this bullshit.
I think the same only united we can stand!!

Do you feel you’re successful? Or maybe better to ask you this way: what is your vision of success and how is the status you’ve reached so far implemented in that “pattern”?
What´s the meaning of success?!? We made it the best we can do till now. We made a Tour with SINISTER and played on some festivals and a lot of gigs! We made a lot of knew contacts and friendships and that´s great!

Very often I can realize that there’s a strong hierarchy in many bands. How is Disinfect organized on that area? Is there a leader in the band who make all decisions or the band is a logical whole and works as a compact team?
haha If you want to say it like this, yes I´m the boss in this band. I made the whole thing started and I´m the member that´s the longest time in the band. I made
everything like the page, T-Shirts, stickers, the most of the music, concerts... and many more. But I´m not a dictator. Everybody knews this and it´s OK. It works great.

Sometimes we cannot influence on some events. But we can certainly expect something, hope for something to happen on particular way. We cannot be sure that we can lead the circumstances, but we can always try. That’s the main point, I think. To determine the goals and try to reach it. Chris, what do you expect, what the near future will bring to you and Disinfect?
There´re some labels interested in DISINFECT. Hope to get a good contract and play so many shows we can and to make a CD with some fuckin´ brutal Death Metal! We´re looking to make a European tour next year and we´ll come to Croatia!

Thank you very much for your time, support and good sense for co-operation. Cheers!Thanx for the interview and to get the chance that more people knews about DISINFECT!! Greetings to all (Death) Metal fans and especially the Croatian ones!!
Greetings Chris & DISINFECT

AS A HUMAN BEING

WHEN WERE YOU BORN ? (YEAR /MONTH ETC- TO CHECK YOUR ASCENDANT )
On 21st April 1980,at about half past two in the afternoon.
 
WHAT IS YOUR FAVE SONG WRITTEN BY YOURSELF ?
Hard to say.In fact, I like all songs I´ve written.Although for Disinfect these aren´t that many at the moment.I´ve no special song because I first use a riff in a song, when it sounds for me perfect and it can´t be developped anymore. So I´m satisfied with them and I must not later argue about myself, that I could have made the riff/song better.

DO YOU DO ANYTHING BESIDES BEING A MUSICIAN ?
No, just sitting the whole day on the street, playing Disinfect songs on the acoustic-guitar and begging for money, hahahaha….In fact, I´m going to a kind of medical school doing a lot of laboratory work.In the freetime we sit a lot together drinking beer, listening music and so on.The normal things you do all day long,….

PLS SHARE WITH US ( AND WE USE PAST TENSE AFTERWARDS ...) YOUR SECRET DESIRE !
Well,…,if you expect some perverted sexdream with a bunch of well-shaved, big-titted, sex-hungry, blackhaired girls, screaming for sex, I must disappoint you.Just one more in lifetime seeing Carcass(R.I.P) life on stage.Life would be complete………

IS THERE ANYONE WHO IS YOUR IDEAL ? CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY ?
I don´t have somebody, I could call ideal or whatever. I think It´s much more important to find your own ideals in life instead of copying someone.Of course there are people whose way of thinking, guitarplaying, behaving or whatever is impressing, but it´s better to search and find your own way in life than to copy the one of someone other.

CAN YOU MENTION THE MOST IMPORTANT HUMAN VALUES THAT MEAN A LOT FOR YOU ?
friendship, honesty, fairness and fidelity
 
DO YOU DEAL WITH SPORTS OR ANY FUTHER TYPE OF ARTS ?
To be honest, I´m one of the laziest persons in the whole wide world,sports sucks, except watching it on TV, because never forget, sport ruins your health, hahaha. Concernig arts ,I think ,making music is also some kind of art.

ARE YOU SUPERSTITIOUS?
No, sorry in no

CAN YOU TELL US YOUR OPINION ABOUT RELIGION, PLEASE ?
I don´t like talking about this topic very much. A strong mind and a strong & expressing self-consciosness is enough to life this life without a god, what kind of name he ever may have or if he ever existed or exist,

ABOUT PIERCINGS AND TATTOES ?
Tattos:none. Perhaps later in a time when not all this bitchy trend sluts go,to have one too, because it´s very fashioned. My eyebrow is pierced so far

ARE THERE ANY HISTORICAL CHARACTER WHO YOU LIKE THE BEST , AND WHY DO YOU FEEL THIS WAY ?
In fact no one. As a German you still must be very careful saying something about history, hahahaha. My grandma was a very cool person, she´s dead now , so she´s historic, or not, haha

WHAT DOES THE WORD "FAME" MEAN TO YOU ?
Not really much.We make our music, because we´re all big fans of this kind and of course we like to play music.If someone likes the music we play, it´s great and a good feeling, but we don´t do it to become famous. We do it for ourselves. And honestly there aren´t that big possibilities to become famous with playing that kind of music. Better true to yourself than famous and selling your ass…………

FUCKING FAST, DEEP AND BRUTAL

Disinfect is a brutal band of Death Metal that I have the chance to hear in CD compilations from main Metal magazines like Vampiria and Ancient Ceremonies. Trapped by their killer sound I felt the obligation to contact them and the best was to meet their guitar player Chris with the best disposition to send me their debut CD Beinspender and answer the questions in the following interview. Let's meet the band and go for their CD, a must for any Brutal Death Metal fan.
K: Hi Chris. How are you?
Chris: Hi Carlos, thanks I´m fine, everything is allright!.

K: Well, Disinfect is a know act mainly in Europe thanks to Beinspender but here in South America is not as known as should be. Can you start this interview telling us about the main facts in Disinfect history?.
Chris: DISINFECT was formed in 1999 as a side project. I played before in a other Death Metal band called OBSCURE but the music was to slow and I decided to start a new project but after a while OBSCURE split after 5 years and DISINFECT started to be my mainprojekt. We play brutal Death Metal in the vein of US bands. Fuckin´ fast, deep and brutal.

K: The reviews for Beinspender are very good. How you feel about that?.
Chris: Yeah it´s great to see that a lot people like our stuff! That´s a very good feeling, till now we didn´t get any bad review!.

K: Why you change from Rest in Hell Records to Diamond Records? What are the new plans in the new label? A new album on the way?.
Chris: REST IN HELL did nothing for our promotion, support and I had to do everything! Hope DIAMOND will do a better job but I think they will! Yeah a new album is planned for the end of 2003!! Expect a killer album.

K: I have read that your live act is brutal and intense. Tell us about Disinfect on stage. Do you play covers?
Chris: We´re a live band. Just like hell on stage. No we don´t play covers.

K: Which was the most important concert in Disinfect history?
Chris:There were many importend gigs. OBSCENE EXTREME FESTIVAL was the first in the current line up. But the greatest was in France in the La Laiterie a big stage with crazy people but the extremest gig was in Croatia the fans went crazy and the bath in club was full of blood!!.

K: Who are your music heroes? What music are you hearing today?
Chris: Trey of MORBID ANGEL is a great guitar player!
CANNIBAL CORPSE, MORBID ANGEL, NILE, DEEDS OF FLESH, DISGORGE(US), DYING FETUS, SINISTER...

K: What bands from the under scene of Germany do you recomend to us?
Chris: GALLERY OF DARKNESS, APOPHIS, OF TREES AND ORCHIDS, FALLEN YGGDRASIL.

K:What is your opinion of the "melodic death metal"?
Chris: I don´t like this childish melodies!.

K: Changing the subject I am very happy that Gemany ain't supporting that stupid war of Bush. Is good to know that most of the "biggest" countries are working for a better world and are against the "preventive war".
Chris: If war is needed then they should do it but not with reasons that no one can and should believe! The only reason was the oil, the control over this area and to help Israel!

K: May be almighty president Bush declare Gemany and all other countries (including Chile) that are against the war to be part of the "axis of evil"....
Chris: He´s a stupid man but if he think he can go on this way then he´s totally wrong! This countries are not stupid and if needed they´ll exist without USA.

K: Thanks for your time and please feel free to say anything else to our readers.
Chris: Thanx for the interview and support!!
All the people out there take a look at www.disinfect.de and listen to more extreme musick!!

DISINFECT
... heißt ein neuer Stern am Death Metal-Himmel. Gegründet wurde diese Formation von keinem Geringeren als Christian Kilian (ex-Obscure). Ganz Nebenbei, per eMail erfuhr ich von dieser Kapelle ...
Hi Martin, wie geht’s wie steht’s? Wir haben endlich einen Namen für die Band!!!! Es ist DISINFECT!! Bis bald. Chris & DISINFECT

Hi Chris! Mir geht es gut, danke. Wie jetzt, DISINFECT? Habt Ihr Obscure umbenannt? Oder aufgelöst? Hast du Obscure verlassen und eine neue Band auf die Beine gestellt? Bitte klär mich mal auf. MFG, Martin
Hi Martin, tja Obscure haben sich vor 4 Monaten aufgelöst. Die anderen wollen keinen Death Metal mehr spielen. Sie wollen lieber eine Frau als Sängerin und einen Drumcomputer + einem normalen Schlagzeug und viel mehr Effekten auf den Gitarren. Das ist auf jeden Fall die Musik die ich niemals spielen würde! Deshalb habe ich DISINFECT mit ein paar anderen Leuten ins Leben gerufen. Es ist jetzt mehr Ami-Death Metal wie Cannibal Corpse, Deeds Of Flesh, Deicide ... also schneller und brutaler als vorher. Bis bald. Chris & DISINFECT

Hallöchen Chris! Soso, aufgelöst; und ich erfahr erst jetzt davon. War es schwer, die Leute für DISINFECT zusammenzutrommeln? MFG, Martin
Hi Martin, jaja so spielt das Leben und das nach 8 Jahren!! Ne die Leute waren schnell da, die meisten kennen mich und wissen, dass ich ein totaler Death Metal Freak bin und wenn ich was anfange, das es extrem wird! Die Musik ist schööööön schnell! Wir haben jetzt einen neuen Schlagzeuger und Sänger mal sehen ob wir es mit zwei Sängern probieren? Wäre cool einer der super tief singt und einer der extrem tief singt, haha. Muß Schluß machen, habe höllische Kopfschmerzen zu viel Gerstenkaltschale gestern:-)))))) Bis bald. Chris & DISINFECT

Moin Chris! Zuviel gesoffen also. Kommt vor, passiert mir auch manchmal, hehe. Wann kann man denn mit dem ersten Tonzeugnis von Euch rechnen? MFG, Martin
Hi Martin, ab und zu trinkt man eben etwas zu viel aber auch nur etwas hahaha. Mit der CD dauert es etwas da wir neue Leute in der Band haben. Der Schlagzeuger und der Sänger kommt diesen Do. das erste mal zur Probe. Sonntag habe ich auch gleich unseren neuen Sänger das erste Mal getroffen und das auch nur durch einen Zufall, da ich jemanden anderen kenne und er es wußte wer unser Sänger wird. Bye. Chris & DISINFECT

Tach Chris! Na hoffentlich wird das was mit deinen neuen Leuten! Hast du sie denn schon mal spielen gehört? MFG, Martin
Hi Martin, die neuen Leute kenne ich fast alle schon Jahre. Einer ist der Schenk von Carrion und der ist sehr gut! Obwohl er bei Carrion schlechte Musik macht. Ich meine damit die Musik-Richtung. Bis bald. Chris & DISINFECT

Mahlzeit Chris! Sieh an, der Schenk ist also auch mit von der Partie. Stimmt, der ist in der Tat ein hervorra-gender Bassist. Grüß ihn lieb von mir! Werdet Ihr auch ein paar Obscure–Songs übernehmen? MFG, Martin
Hi Martin, ja mit dem Schenk haben wir schon einen Gewinn gemacht! Obscure-Songs werden nicht übernommen, ist eben eine andere Band! Also bis dann. Chris & DISINFECT

Hi Chris! Vielen Dank für die Informationen. Ich wünsche Euch alles Gute - laßt mich was hören, wenn was aufgenommen ist! MFG, Martin

MASTERFUL MAG

DARK PAST STILL ALIVE American death metal is a term everybody knows. The music originally stinted merely to Florida's garages spread its wings upon whole world afterwards. The phenomenon of the most brutal and technical music ever head imposed on Germany as well. Still new bands show up in the scene, some of them are tedious, the others are worth checking out. DISINFECT appeared before me like a ghost from the dark past of good quality bands. Their debut album "Beinspender" is ready to be released by a decent label. Any of the interested ones do not hesitate and get in touch with them via disinfect@gmx.de, for it won't take long and DISINFECT will be on a roster of your competitors in the business. Nevertheless, formerly let's read what Chris - lead guitarist - said in this brief but interesting talk.

First off, what does "Beinspender" mean in English, for apart from few words German is a black magic to me?
"It's something like to play on words. This is a kind of joke. It's like to spend a leg and the song is about vermin."

How is this possible that you - hellish motherfuckers - originating from Germany play such excellent American death metal, huh? Shouldn't you play typical native to you power metal?
"Thanks and great that you like our music so much!! Ha, ha I don't think that the typical German music is Power Metal any more. Here in the south of Germany there're a lot of very good Death and Black Metal bands!! I think you know bands like FLESHCRAWL, OBSCENITY, ANASARCA... All German ones!"
 

I'm not confident, but is the album released via Rest In Hell? And what's the label? Never heard of them, frankly spoken.
"Yes, REST IN HELL Rec. released our CD. This is a very small and new label but we didn't sign a deal till now!! We'll take now a look at other labels what they want to do for us and then we'll see!"

The band was spawned not that long ago? Did you contribute to any other bands formerly?
"There were a lot of bands before! The last one was OBSCURE it was more a mid tempo Death Metal band in the vein of MORBID ANGEL, PESTILENCE, DEATH. This band was the reason to make DISINFECT because they don't want to change their style at that time and I wanted a much brutal band."

Presumably it's a bit odd that German band recorded its music in Slovakian or Czech studio. I know productions from Exponent and I think they are very good, but isn't it a bit extravaganza to register there for a band that in its own country has dozens of great studios ready to be entered with doors wide-opened?
"No, I don't think so, because you have to look at the prices here in Germany! You've to see the other costs like hotel, food and really a lot beer ha, ha. And when you go out every evening after recording it's much, much cheaper in Slovak Rep. then here in Germany and the other thing is they made a very good work!"

As I read you toured with Dutch gods (now gods and goddess) of Sinister. How was on the tour? And besides, do you think that female should be involved in such music, I mean in general?
"It was a very good and funny tour and very drunken one ha, ha. The guys are really cool like APOPHIS and I was one of the promoter of this tour! About girls in Death Metal. Ha, ha it's a very good question, because my ex-girlfriend plays in a complete female Death Metal band. I don't think this is the kind of music a girl should make. I can't take it seriously when a woman growls like a man!?! You know what I mean? That's too funny. They should do their groupie job ha, ha."

What track "L2 A5" deals with? Kinda strange.
"It's about a tank (Leopard) and it's power."

You were nominated as the best live band in... something? Elaborate on it a bit. Was that a big deal for you. And, what the hell do you do onstage then?
"We're always naked and make Hardcore sex on stage ha, ha No, I think what you can see it's the power and love for the music we play! It's from the first chord to the last one always live power!! When it's possible work with light especially green one because that's our band colour."

Isn't the new material anything you want to attract bigger labels in the future? I mean, you're worth to be grabbed by, no doubt!
"Thanks! Yes, for two weeks we've been sending some promo packages to try to get a really good deal!! The thing is the label we work now together is too small and they don't have enough money to promote us like they should do!"

Will you develop your, now rather typical American, style of playing into something more original? I'm not trying to find fault with it, but do you give a shit or not?
"HAHAHA NEVER!!!!!! The only thing is, that we'll play much more brutal and fast!!! Ha, ha DISINFECT is not a trendy band!!"

What to wish a band like DISINFECT? More groupies?
A good deal, some tours and festivals and the new CD next year!! Thanks Bart for the cool interview and greetings to the Polish (Death) Metal fans!!"
 

METALSTORM

Disinfect haben bei uns wie eine Granate eingeschlagen und ein Brett vorgelegt, bei dem man mehr als einmal trocken schlucken mußte. Also ergriffen wir die Gelegenheit, mit Chris per eMail ein Interview zu führen
geführt von (teq) in/per eMail
 
1. Zu Anfang klärt uns doch bitte mal über die History von Disinfect auf!
Zu den nächsten zwei Fragen kann nur ich gerade antworten, da ich das einzige Gründungsmitglied bin.
DISINFECT wurden 1999 gegründet. Die Band durchlebte unzählige Wechsel bis ich die passenden Leute fand. Die Gründe waren von Studieren oder Arbeit in zu entfernten Städten bis zu musikalischen Differenzen! Bis jetzt waren 3 Gitarristen, 3 Schlagzeuger, 3 Bassisten und 4 Sänger in der Band haha Ich glaube das ist einiges um ein paar Bands daraus zu machen!! Aber es dauert bis alles so läuft wie es sein muß!
Mitte 2000 nach der SINISTER-Tour, wurde das letzte und perfekte Line-Up gefunden. Das beste an der Tour war das ich eigentlich danach als Einziger übrig blieb und das die Hälfte der Musiker nur Aushilfsmusiker waren! Das Problem war eine Verfälschung der Musik insbesondere der Vocals!
Seit Juni 2001 ist unsere CD Beinspender nun raus und ich hoffe das die CD vielen Death Metal Fans zusagen wird und die wahren DISINFECT nun zum vorschein treten!! Fuckin´ brutal Death Metal eben!
 
1B. Und wie sieht das derzeitige Line-Up denn nun aus?
Chris (meine Wenigkeit haha) Lead Guitar
Markus Rhythm Guitar
Jochen Vocals
Tomasz Drums
Jochen Bass
Sind 5 Leute auch, wenn auch zwei den gleichen Namen besitzen und man denken könnte einer macht beides haha
 
2. Ihr habt euch dem recht kompromisslosen Deathmetal verschrieben. Wie seid ihr zu dieser Musik gekommen?
Das Ziel war auf jeden Fall von Anfang an kompromißlosen, brachialen und extremen Death Metal zu machen! Was anderes käme für mich nicht in Frage!
Ich höre mir privat zu 90% nur Death Metal geknüppel an der Rest ist Black Metal und Grind Core haha Die Band sollte ein Ventil für mich werden, da ich noch damals bei OBSCURE spielte und wir etwas langsameren technischeren Death Metal spielten der mich aber nicht ganz erfüllte. 2 Monate nach DISINFECT löste sich OBSCURE auf. Somit hatte ich nur noch eine Hauptband in die ich meine ganze Energie stecken konnte und ich glaube es hat sich
gelohnt!
Die Neuen haben mit den Songs auf der jetzigen CD noch nichts im
kompositorischen zu tun. Ich kann aber versprechen das die neuen Sachen auf jeden fall wieder extrem werden und dieses Mal auf jeden Fall durch Einbezug der neuen Leute in der Band!
 
2b. Fürchtest Du nicht, in eine Sackgasse zu geraten, wenn ihr euch"lediglich" auf schnelles Geknüppel beschränken wollt? Bleibt da nicht die Abwechslung auf der Strecke und Live würde die eine oder andere Verschnaufpause auch nicht so schlecht sein!
HAHA NEIN!! Das Ziel ist es nicht nur schnell zu sein sondern auch heftig und brutal! Es wird weiterhin schnelles Geknüppel bleiben auch die neuen Songs aber dieses Mal auch um einiges technischer und es gibt langsame und verdammt brutale Passagen!! Es wird sehr Abwechslungsreich werden das neue Zeug!
Live?!?! Wir gehören noch lange nicht zum alten Eisen das wir
Verschnaufpausen bräuchten haha Bei uns geht es schon mit dem ersten Riff gleich los und das wird bis zum Ende beibehalten!! Außer die Fans bräuchten eine? ;-)
 
2c. Noch seid ihr kein altes Eisen, aber ihr werdet auch nicht jünger. Ich persönlich finde es halt meistens langweilig, wenn alles nur Geknüppel ist. Aber meine Chancen auf eine Disinfect-Liebesballade sind damit dann wohl gestorben?
Jünger nicht aber besser, wie ein guter Wein! Es ist ja auch nicht so bei uns das nur von vorn bis hinten Geknüppelt wird. Es gibt Breaks, coole Rhythmen oder sogar Melodien. Also doch nicht ganz so langweilig. Mit der Liebesballade wird es wohl nix haha Aber es gibt sicher ein paar andere Bands die das ganz gut hin bekommen.
 
3. Leider liegen mir keine Lyrics vor. Allerdings lassen eure Songtitel tief blicken. Gib uns doch mal einen Überblick, worum sich eure Lyrics drehen.
Ich kann einiges zu den Liedern erzählen. Werde mich auch möglichst kurz fassen!!
Beinspender, geht um die Heimtücke von Mienen und um einen Soldaten der Bekanntschaft mit einer macht.haha
One Night Steak, der Mensch als Stück Fleisch in one night stands.
Darmmanifest, handelt um unsere Ellbogengesellschaft und um das liebe Geld.
After Killing, ein Serienkiller geht um und zerstückelt Frauen haha
L2A5, ist ein Panzer (Leopard) und im Song geht´s um die Zerstörungskraft von dem Teil und nun weiß auch endlich jeder was die Abkürzung bedeutet.
Inner Fear, ist mein persönlicher Song und es geht um Ängste die einen zerfressen können, wenn man nicht dagegen ankämpft.
Grave New World, der Mensch und die Umwelt, wie es aussieht ist es wie mit Feuer und Wasser.
Menschenfeind, sagt ja wohl alles!!
Foxy Disintegration, der Zerfall des Menschen als Wesen aber dennoch nicht das Ende.
 
3b. Welches davon ist denn dein lyrisches Lieblingsstück und warum?
Inner Fear, da ich es selber geschrieben habe. Foxy ist aber auch ein super Stück!
 
3c. Generell scheint ihr ein Faible für den Krieg und Kriegswaffen zu haben. Woher kommt dieses Interesse?
Liegt wohl daran das wir Menschen sind und es liegt uns im Blut. Es ist einfach interessant wie sich die Menscheit selbst zerstört und was es da alles für tolle Sachen gibt haha Kriege gibt es immer sogar vor kurzem hier in Europa als die Serben mal wieder dachten sie müßten Krieg führen und friedliche Völker angegriffen haben, wie die Slowenen und Kroaten. Jetzt geht es ja auch mit den Albanern wieder weiter die in Mazedonien Unruhe stiften! Also wie man sieht kommt es nicht von ganz so fern das man sich für solche Dinge interessiert, wenn sie andauernd passieren.
 
4. Sind euch die Lyrics wichtig oder nur "nettes" Beiwerk zur Musik?
Ja, auf eine Art und Weise schon. Es sollen keine dummen, nichts sagen Texte sein aber auch keine belehrenden!! Wir wollen uns den Frust von der Seele und die Probleme die wir oder die um uns sind aufschreiben. Meistens aber mit einer großen Portion Ironie haha Sie sollten also nie zu ernst genommen werden.
Gute Musik und nichts sagende Texte sind nicht unser Ding! Warum so viel Mühe in die Musik stecken und dann wenn es um die Gedanken, Gefühle oder auch Intellekt geht, nichts bringen?!?! Man muß ein gesundes Gleichgewicht in der Musik zwischen Beidem finden. Ich persönliche lese auch immer die Texte um zu sehen um was es überhaupt bei der Band geht!
 
4b. Werden denn im Boocklet die Texte abgedruckt sein?
Ja, logisch! Die Leute sollen auch sehen über was wir singen.
Wie gesagt ich finde es auch interessant bei anderen Bands!
 
4c. Keine Angst davor, aufgrund eurer Texte boxkottiert zuwerden? Solche Texte sind bei gewissen Volksvertretern nicht wirklich beliebt!
Ne, da gibt´s wirklich noch keine Angst. Wir sind ja wirklich noch Underground und glaub nicht das sich da jetzt noch jemand dafür interessiert. Vielleicht wenn wir mal genug Geld damit machen und sich die Finzkasse dafür interessiert haha Wer von diesen Volksvertretern liest die den wirklich mal richtig durch?!?!
 
5. Deathmetal war mal vor Jahren wesentlich angesagter, als er es momentan ist. Glaubt ihr, das auch wieder fettere Zeiten kommen werden oder sollte der Deathmetal im Underground verweilen?
Death Metal wird langsam wieder größer! Ich hoffe es doch. Man sieht es in Magazinen, auf Konzerten und im Verkauf!! Vor ein paar Jahren kamen kaum Leute zu Gigs mitlerweile sind sie auf jeden Fall bessser besucht als Black Metal Konzerte! (spreche gerade vom Underground bei uns) Death Metal wird nie wirklich groß, da die Musik zu extrem ist um ein breites Publikum anzusprechen! Aber falls es doch passieren sollte, was soll´s ist doch gut.
Zum Underground. Metal ist doch eh Underground egal mit was man es vergleicht Pop, Rap (Kacke), Techno oder auch sogar Volksmusik!
 
5b. Und wo glaubt ihr werdet ihr dann stehen. Mit anderen Worten, was glaubt ihr könnt ihr mit Disinfect erreichen?
Hoffe weit oben! Würde ja lügen, wenn ich was anderes sagen würde! Aber Hauptsache wir können spielen und Leute kommen weiterhin zu unseren Konzerten und haben Spaß an der Musik und Show!! Ich stecke sehr viel Zeit meines Lebens in die Band und mache alles um die Band weiter vorran zu bringen und Leute die mich kennen wissen das ich auch manchmal übertreiben kann. Die Band, Musik ist eben sehr wichtig für mich, uns!
 

6. Wie sehen eure Zukunftspläne aus?
Live spielen, spielen und noch mals spielen!! Wir wollen so viel wie möglich neue Leute zum extremen Death Metal bringen haha Eine Tour ist für Herbst eingeplant!
Hoffe Ende diesen oder Anfang nächsten Jahres wieder in´s Studio gehen zu können um das neue Werk einzuprügeln!!
 
6b. Das ist sehr schnell. Existieren schon neue Songs oder werden die spontan im Studio eingezimmert?
Es gibt schon 3 neue Songs! SCREAMS OF PLEASURE, NORDIC THUNDER und CASCET BORN. Das Nächste ist auch schon in der Mache!
Im Studio kurz mal ein paar Lieder zu machen, davon halte ich sehr wenig und auch als fast unmöglich außer man ist ein halbes Jahr drinnen haha Das wäre aber aus rein Budget-technischen Gründen für uns nicht möglich. Das Material und die Texte müßen schon vor dem Studio fertig stehen. Kleinigkeiten kann man immer noch im Studio umändern, verbessern aber mehr auch nicht! Wenn es so spontan und locker gehen würde hätten wir auch schon die nächste
am Start:-)

6c. Die berühmt berüchtigten letzten Worte an die Herrscharen von Fans da draussen in der Welt?
Auf jeden Fall erst Mal vielen Dank Ralf für die Chance hier bei euch ein Interview führen zu dürfen und unsere Musik, Gedanken an die Leute draußen bringen zu können!! Und ihr da draußen hört mehr Death Metal an!! ;-) Und wir machen keine Balladen!

Gruß Chris & DISINFECT
 

MINCEMASTER

1. The changes in the line-up have affected the band to find your style and for the composition of new songs or you as founding already has it defined?
We had the stile before the changes, when I made this band it was clear we´ll play only brutal Death Metal the only thing is new people new ideas and new inputs for the band! The most songs where made before the change and most of them are made of me! DISINFECT will allways be a fuckin´ brutal DM band!

2. Many bands change their musical style, recording sweepings and shit and to this calls progress, What do you think must make a band for not to fall so low? Do you think that with the passage of time a band must change members, sound, studio ......
This´s not a progress it´s just false I think it´s harder to make new songs in the same vein as totally different music on the next CD. Hope you understand what I mean. When you say you´ll play fast and extreme, you´ve to think more about to make this kind of music but not simillar like the songs on the last output but in the same vein. It´s easy to make a CD fast the second slow the third Black Metal the fourth Industrial and so on!!
I don´t thing that it´s important to change the members I think that´s wrong and the band and music has to stop till the new people are into the band!! But sometimes the studio should be changed to see new sounds, technic more new inputs for the band.....but not to much haha

3. When you first started playing / What kind of cover songs did you guys start out playing?
When I was 12 years but my first guitar was with 6 years but I smashed the guitar against the wall because I thought when you have a guitar you can play haha but this was wrong. The first covers where from AC/DC, KISS and in my reherseal with my teacher. Inthe other bands we played everything hard but I never played a lot covers I thing it´s better to play your own songs.

4. Why you like more the american death metal bands sound, Disinfect sound is as them?
I like the perfect and heavy sound it´s not like the raw Swedish sound before years. I think it´s more perfect. Like some people prefer the Norwegian Black Metal sound. That´s really bullshit sound it´s like in a rehearsal room. For this sound you don´t have to go to a studio and pay a lot of money it´s better to take a tape deck in the rehearsal room and then it´s cheaper haha But there are some good BM bands like MARDUK, EMPEROR, DARK THRONE, DARK FUNERAL, CRADLE OF FILTH but I prefe bands linke CANNIBAL CORPSE; DEICIDE, DEEDS OF FLESH, CARCASS, NILE, MORBID ANGEL, LIVIDITY, MONSTROSITY, SKINLESS, SINISTER, MORTICIAN............. and a ton more haha

5. Tell us about the productions of Disinfect?
We went to EXPONENT STUDIO in Slowak Republic because Roger of APOPHIS said that we´ll get there a good sound for a good price! Bands like KRABATHOR, HYPNOS, APOPHIS.. made their CD´s there. It was a good and drunken time there haha Don´t drink to much Absinth and the beer prices are fuckin´great! We made all music, lyrics before the studio and therefore we could spend time and put the money to make the sound better and I think it´s now very good!

6. Have you been approached by any record labels? / Had you problems with previous label?
Yes, the first was Unterfett Rex it was the biggest mistake we could make we lost a lot of important time and that sucks!! They toled to much and gave to much promisses and we new they couldn´t do it therefore we had to change it! The CD should be normally out 4 month before!!! FUCK THIS POEPLE!!
Our new label is called Rest in Hell Records.

7. What about of Sinister tour? How you got the contact ?
I met the guys years before in Czech Republic on a gig and we had a cool and drunken night after some time in the beginning of 2000 a promoter wants to make a tour with us and a bigger band and I said I knew this guys a little bit and I could ask them. After that we made this (alcoholical) tour with SINISTER and APOPHIS. We had a really great time and a lot to lough!! Jägermeister rules!!

8. How is the German thrash metal scene today ? What happen with bands as Destruction, Kreator, Sodom.?
I´ve to say I´m not to much in Thrash Metal but it´s really growing!! There is a tour planed with SODOM, KREATOR and DESTRUCTION! I think a killer package for every Thrash Metal maniac.

9. Who this interesting in Disinfect for a concert with that must speak and whatever must pay?
If someone wants to make something with DISINFECT just write to my address or send a mail to disinfect@gmx.de and then we can talk about the conditions! Normally 400,- 600,-DM + food+drinks (I mean a lot of beer) and a sleeping place. It depends how far it is!

10. Some words for the readers and for the that you hate...
Thanx a lot for your support!! That´s great to see that there a lot of brutal maniacs out there!
Support your local Death Metal scene and a big fuck to all false people!!
Stay brutal Chris & DISINFECT
 

MORBIDNOIZZ

First off, what does "Beinspender" mean in English, for apart from a few words German is a black magic to me?
It´s something like to play on words. This is a kind of joke. It´s like to spend a leg and the song is about warmines.

How is this possible that you – hellish motherfuckers – originating from Germany play such excellent American death metal, huh? Shouldn’t you play typical native to you power metal?
Thanks and great that you like our music so much!! haha I don´t think that the typical German music is Power Metal any more. Here in the south of Germany there´re a lot of very good Death and Black Metal bands!! I think you know bands like FLESHCRAWL, OBSCENITY, ANASARCA... All German ones!

I’m not confident, but is the album released via Rest In Hell? And what’s the label? Never heard of them, frankly spoken.
Yes, REST IN HELL Rec released our CD.
This is a very small and new label but we didn´t sign a deal till now!! We´ll take now a look at other labels what they want to do for us and then we´ll see!

The band was spawned not that long ago? Did you contribute to any other bands formerly?
There were a lot of bands before! The last one was OBSCURE it was more a mid tempo Death Metal band in the vein of MORBID ANGEL, PESTILENCE, DEATH. This band was the reason to make DISINFECT because they don´t want to change their stile at that time and I wanted a much brutal band.

Presumably it’s a bit odd that German band recorded its music in Czech’s studio. I know productions from Exponent and I think they are very good, but isn’t it a bit extravaganza to register there for a band that in its own country has dozens of great studios ready to be entered with doors wide-opened?
No, I don´t think so because you have to look at the prices here in Germany! You ´ve to see the other costs like hotel, food and really a lot beer haha And when you go out every evening after recording it´s much, much cheaper in Slovak Rep. then here in Germany and the other thing is they made a very good work!!

As I read you toured with Dutch gods (now gods and goddess () of Sinister. How was on the tour? And besides, do you think that female should be involved in such music, I mean in general?
It was a very good and funny tour and very drunken one haha The guys are really cool like APOPHIS and I was one of the promoter of this tour!
About girls in Death Metal. Haha its a very good question because my ex-girlfriend she plays in a all female Death Metal band. I don´t think this is the kind of music a girl should make I can´t take it serious when a woman growls like a man!?! You know what I mean? That´s to funny. They should do their groupie job haha

What track "L2 A5" deals with? Kinda strange.
It´s about a tank (Leopard) and it´s power

You was nominated as the best live band in… something? Elaborate on it a bit. Was that a big deal for you. And, what the hell do you do onstage then?
We´re allways naked and make Hardcore sex on stage haha No, I think what you can see it´s the power and love for the music we play! It´s from the first chord to the last one allways live power!! When it´s possible work with light especially green one because that´s our band color.

Isn’t the new material anything you want to attract bigger labels in the future? I mean, you’re worth to be grabbed by, no doubt!
Thanks! Yes since two weeks we´re sending some promo packages away to try to get a really good deal!! The thing is the label we work now together is to small and they don´t have enough money to promote us like they should do!

Will you develop your, now rather typical American, style of playing into something more original? I’m not trying to find fault with it, but do you give a shit or not?
HAHAHA NEVER!!!!!! The only thing is, that we´ll play much more brutal and fast!!! haha DISINFECT is not a trendy band!!

What to wish a band like DISINFECT? More groupies?
A good deal, some tours and festivals and the new CD next year!!
Thanks Bart for the cool interview and greetings to the Polish (Death) Metal fans!!
 

MORBID TALES MAG

1. hello guys! how are the things going on for you and your band?could you start by presenting us a little bit the history of Disinfect?
Hi Raul! Till now very good! We´ll play some festivals and some tours with some cool bands! The band started in 1999 as a sideprojekt for me because at this time I had a other band called OBSCURE but it was more slower technical Death Metal. Some weeks after OBSCURE split off and DISINFECT was my main band the music is more straight and extreme brutal Death Metal. We had a lot of changes in the band but since middle of 2000 our line up is complete!

2. what could you tell us about your releases ?give me a few technical details about each one?
Our first release was a live CD it was the first demo we had, the reason was that we had something to show other people. Our second release is our CD called "Beinspender" it was recorded in the EXPONENT Studios in Slovakia were bands like KRABATHOR, HYPNOS, APOPHIS and many othert bands recorded their stuff! The sound is fuckin´ brutal, heavy!!

3.try to introduce your last album and each track of it.
Here´re the tracks and the meaning of each one.
Beinspender: It´s about a soldier and war mines.
One Night Steak: One night stands. One part is allways only a piece of flesh that satisfy somebodys sexually fantasy
Darmmanifest: Our society and the only god is money
After Killing: A serialkiller is doing his job
L 2 A 5: About a tank and the power of it
Inner Fear: it´s a personally song about fears and that you´ve fight against them
Grave New World: The human race and how we handle it with our nature.
Menschenfeind: Misanthropist.
Foxy Disintegration: Death and the hope that there´s something after this what we call life..

4.how do you see this album compareing it with your others creations?
Like I said we had only the live one and I think you can´t really compare them. Second on this CD "Beinspender" all members are new!!

5.what your lyrics deal with ?
Everything what you want haha We don´t have any special concept! If we want to make a lyric about something we make it! The most lyrics are about war, sex, violence, society...

6.could you presenting us the death and grind scene from your city and country?
We´ve a really big scene here!! I think one of the biggest in Germany! Especially my city and the area around here! But not only Death Grind also a lot of Black Metal and normal kinds of Metal. I think Germany has a very good Metal scene but extreme scene could be bigger haha

7. how do you see the present scene of death grind from europe and around the world?
It´s fuckin´ growing and that´s great to see!! There´re a lot of very good new bands out there!! The other thing is the labels see the trend and they want to make money like years before with Death Metal and after that with Black Metal! The problem is they´ll destroy the scene with their politic "the only law is money"!!

8.i supose that you played a lot of gigs in your country .which were the most important gigs that you ever had and which are the bands that you played with? how does a Disinfect show looks like?
Yes, we played a lot in Germany but not only here we played in a lot parts of Europe!! Some cool gigs were in the La Laiterie in Strasbourg, it was a very good festival and the DEPTH OF WINTER Festival (I´m the organizer of it!) We played with a lot of different bands!!! Some of them are SINISTER, FLESHCRAWL, DISASTROUS MURMUR....... and tons more haha
The show is full of energy from the first chord to the last one!! Only pure brutal Death Metal!!!

9.well ,your band are signed with a label. are you satisfied with their work?
No, I have to do allways the most work and the contact is to bad between us!! The funny thing is they´re from our area!! Hope to get a better deal or hope they´ll do a better job!!

10. how do specialised media from your country and foreign countries ,received your products?
Very good!! We got in a lot of countries the max of points in the reviews for example!! Now we had a lot of calls, mails from other countries to make the distro in their countries and we´ll work with the people together!!

11.in your career you've been influenced by some bands or any particular school of death&grind metal ?
Yes, sure there´re a lot of good bands like CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE, MORBID ANGEL, DEEDS OF FLESH, DISGORGE...... I prefer the US Death Metal stile.

12.guys what represent Disinfect for you ?
The most importend thing in our life!

13.do you plan some tours to promote your new album? or some other planes ?
Yes, we´ll do some smaller tours only 3-5 days tours because of the work! Second our new release should come in autumn!!

14.well that would be all for now. thanks for your time . do you have something to add to conclude this interview?or something to say to romanian readers ?
Raul thanks a lot for the cool interview and the chance to be heard in Romania!!! Take a look at www.disinfect.de !! Thanks and stay brutal Chris & DISINFECT
 

MORDOR-MAGAZINE

Erzähl mal kurz, etwas von der Gründung und der Geschichte der Band.
Die Band wurde 1999 gegründet. Die damaligen Ur-Mitglieder waren nur kurz in der Band es gab sehr viel Umbestzungen. Einige waren beruflich bedingt andere musikalisch.Erst Mitte 2000 wurde das heutige Lineup vervollständigt und dauert bis heute an.

Was für eine Bedeutung hat Euer Bandname?
Er klingt cool haha

Wie würdet Ihr Eure Musik beschreiben?
brutal Death Metal, eben extreme Musik!!

Wer schreibt die Texte und um von was handeln sie?
Einige der Texte sind noch vom alten Sänger, einer von mir und die restlichen von neuen am Mikro. Die nächsten Texte werden auch etwas unter uns verteilt werden.

Was macht Ihr Privat, wenn ihr nicht gerade am Musik machen seit?
Ich bin selbständiger Fotograf und Grafiker. Die anderen studieren einer Medizin,

Ich würde Euch nun bitten, mal kurz zur momentanen Situation im Metal (speziell im Black/Death Metal) Stellung zu beziehen.
Die etwas härteren Bands sind wieder auf dem Vormarsch und es wird sicher wieder eine anwachsende Death Metal Szene geben!

Was für eine Bedeutung hat der Satanismus für Euch?
Ich lese gerne Dinge darüber aber das war´s auch.

Vor nicht allzu langer Zeit gab es wieder einen fall von Grabschändungen. Wie stehet Ihr zu dieser Sache? Was haben solche Taten, eurer Meinung nach, für Auswirkungen auf die Szene?
Ziemlicher Blödsinn, weiß nicht was das bringen soll!?! Auf die Szene hat es nur negative Auswirkungen. Die Leute die solche Sachen anstellen gehören aber auch meistens in keine richtige Szene rein und versuchen durch solche Aktionen etwas Aufmerksamkeit auf sich zu lenken.

Wie sieht es bei Euch für die Zukunft aus?
Bis jetzt sehr gut und ich hoffe es wird noch besser!

Plattenvertrag?
Ja, bis jetzt noch bei REST IN HELL RECORDS mal schauen, wie es weiter geht, da wir uns bis jetzt auch noch nirgendwo anders umgehört haben! Aber mal sehen was andere Labels so bieten. Warten wir´s ab!

Neue CD?
Die neue CD ist doch erst raus! Nächstes Jahr im Herbst gibt´s die nächste Granate voll auf die Ohren!!

Konzerte?
Ja, haben jetzt im Moment sehr viele auch einiges an Festivals. Kann aber ruhig mehr werden haha

Welches war euer bestes Konzert?
In der La Laiterie in Strasburg war super und auf dem DEPTH OF WINTER Festival letztes und dieses Jahr!

Wenn ihr die Möglichkeit hättet, auf allen Festivals der Welt zu spielen, auf welchem würdet ihr am liebsten spielen ?
Milwaukee, wäre cool aber auch das FUCK THE COMMERCE wäre nicht schlecht!

Was für ein Lebensstill habt Ihr? Sex, Drogen und Metal? Oder habt Ihr andere Lebens Grundsätze?
Ja, Sex, Metal und Alkohol. Gehört ja alles zusammen und am besten möglichst viel von Allem haha

Was bedeutet der Tod für Euch, was kommt danach. Oder ist danach alles vorbei?
Ich hoffe schon das danach noch etwas kommt, wäre schon etwas traurig, wenn dies alles wäre.

Und zum Schluss noch ein paar spassige Sachen!
Äussert Euch bitte zum Wort Gott!
?? Weiß nicht wo er lebt, noch nie gesehen

Was haltet Ihr von Kreuzigung?
War doch mal schwer in Mode oder? Ist aber mittlerweile verboten, da es doch etwas zu sehr weh getan hat

Welches ist das beste Bier?
Becks, Paulaner, Erdinger, Weihenstephan und dann auch noch Vodka, Whisky, Bacardi.....

Eure Meinung zu MTV und (oder) Viva!
Scheiß auf diesen Müll! Leider gibt es nicht mehr HEADBANGERS BALLROOM, METALLA, VIRUS..

Und nun, die letzte Zeilen gehören euch und ihr dürft hier unzensiert sagen, was ihr schon immer den Lesern sagen wolltet !
Tja, ..?? Auf jeden Fall Danke für das Interview und die Chance uns dem Publikum auf Deiner Page etwas vorzustellen!! Weiter so und auch Dir viel Glück!!
 
 
 

NECROMANCEMAG

First start this off with a brief history of the band. When did you guys start playing, who were the original members, etc...
The reason to create DISINFECT was my first band OBSCURE because it was more midtempo Death Metal but I wanted a much more extremer band and therfore I created DISINFECT some weeks after that OBSCURE split off!!
The band started in 1999 The music was the same in the beginning of DISINFECT extreme Death Metal but total different people to the new one in the band. After some weeks we had to look for a new vocalist because our first one had to leave the city because of a new job in a city 200 km far away from our rehearsal room. We had really a lot of changes in the band! The most reasons were work and two had to go into other citys to far away!
 
Tell us the most important aspects on "Beinspender"..
The most importend is that we play brutal Death Metal and that you´ll hear it when you listen to the CD! It´s music made by fans of extreme sounds for fans of extreme sounds!
 
Can you give us some information about "Beinspender"?, for example, what can you tell me about the recording process and How much time did you spend in the studio writing this album?
We took 2 weeks in the Exponent studio (bands like KRABATHOR, HYPNOS, APOPHIS recorded there) in Slowak Republic to record our CD. The music was made before the studio, we had only to go there and to make the best we could at this point! It was really funny, drunken time there because alcohol is really cheap there haha Dont drink to much Absinth that´s really fuckin´ hard stuff!
 
How did you guys get a chance to work with Rest In Hell Records? Are you all happy with the deal?
First UNTERFETT.Rex wanted to work but this was a big asshole then we changed to REST IN HELL RECORDS but we have some other offers but we´ll see how R.I.H. will cooperate with us. The biggest reason for this label is that they´re from here some citys away and we can see what they do and get easy in contact! Like I said maybe if we´ll get a really fair and good contract we´ll take it! But till now everything goes right.

Had you been contacted by any other labels before deciding on Rest In Hell? If so, who and why not go with them?
Like I said before UNTERFETT.Rex but we don´t want to work with this asshole!!! There happend to much things with this guy and he is away since 4 month and no one knows where he´s. He made really a lot of shit haha
 
What do the songs on "Beinspender" talk about?
I think I´ll say something to evry song because it´s different! They´re made by three different people! Our old vocalist, the new one and me!
Beinspender: It´s about a soldier and war mines.
One Night Steak: One night stands when you really look about this. One part is only a piece of flesh that satisfy somebodys sexually fantasy
Darmmanifest: Our society and the only god is money
After Killing: A serialkiller is doing his job. haha
L 2 A 5: About the German tank called Leopard and his power
Inner Fear: About fears that can destroy you if you don´t fight against them!
Grave New World: The human race and how we handle it with our nature.
Menschenfeind: Misanthropist. it was the perfect song for this title!
Foxy Disintegration: Death and the hope that there´s something after this what we call life..
 
How've the reactions been so far to "Beinspender"?
Till now very, very good!!! We had only good reviews and sold a lot CD´still now. The people love the music and we can see it when we play.
 
What are in general the main influences of DISINFECT from your point of view? I think you remind me a bit to IMMOLATION and INCANTATION, do you agreee with me? When you write songs what do you hope to create?
HAHA Sorry but I never listen to this two bands!! That´s funny because in a other review someone said the same! I bought a CD of IMMOLATION to listen to them after that. That´s really cool that people say this because this are really very good bands!! I´ll allways hope that the next song I´ll make would be the best one. I think we can´t create really something new but maybe a little bit different to other bands and maybe better
 
Are you planning a tour at all to promote this cd? Do you guys get a chance to play out alot? Any fests planned?
The tour was planned for autumn but we couldn´t do it because our drummer is doing a new job and he dont get hollidays!! Hope we can do it after New Year! Yes, we played now on the DEPTH OF WINTER FESTIVAL, next week on the EAR TERROR and the day after on the MONASTIC DOOM Festival. We´ll play some bigger festivals next year!! But first when we´ll knew it 100% I´ll talk about it!!
 
Thanks for answering the questions... close this however you like!
Thanks for the interview and the chance to show a lot of people that DISINFECT is here!!
 

NEMESIS

Ist es richtig, dass ein Großteil von Disinfect auch bei The Exorial spielt?
Ja

Wie kommt es, dass ihr euch die Musiker teilt?
Vor anderthalb Jahren brauchte ich neue Musiker für das OBSCENE Festival, da wir da die Zusage hatten und ich nur noch alleine die Band führte. Es wurden schnell neue Leute gefunden unter anderem eben 2 Jungs von EXORIAL die eigentlich nur als Aushilfe gedacht waren, da wir uns aber super verstanden hatten und ihnen die Musik sehr gut gefallen hat sind sie auch gleich in der Band geblieben.

Hat euer armer Sänger Kehlkopfkrebs oder weshalb muss er so tief röcheln?
Weiß auch nicht ob er überhaupt einen Kehlkopf hat?! Schätze das liegt am Alter, er ist gerade 12 geworden und kommt in den Stimmbruch haha

Was unterscheidet euch von anderen Death-Metal-Bands?
Tja, das müßte ich Dich fragen. Kann nur sagen das wir alle Death Metal Fans sind und auch versuchen Musik für Death Metal Fans zu schreiben. Das Andere ist das wir auch 100% dahinter stehen was wir verbrechen.

Wieso habt ihr ausgerechnet diese Form des Death Metals für euch auserkoren?
Das war der Grund die Band entstehen zu lassen, es war mich von Anfang an klar das wir nur heftigen Ami Death Metal spielen werden. Vor DISINFECT habe ich bei OBSCURE gespielt und da war es mehr der Midtempo Death Metal von dem ich weg wollte. Privat hör ich mir auch nur heftigen Death Metal an besonders das Zeug aus Amerika

Was würdest du sagen sind derzeit die hoffnungsvollsten Bands in der Szene um Stuttgart
?? Hui, ich gehe schon seit langem nicht mehr so oft auf Konzerte. Meistens spielen wir die selber haha Aber es gibt gute Bands hier im Umkreis LUNA FIELD, FALLEN YGGDRASIL, MUCUPURULENT, APOPHIS, FLESHCRAWL.

Es gibt Musiker, die euch ein recht arrogantes Gehabe nachsagen. Neid, Hass ...
HAHAHA jaja, sehr schön. Würde nur zu gerne wissen wer den Schotter erzählt! Man kann vieles sagen aber das wirklich nicht. Kann sein das wir sehr oft super besoffen sind bei den Gigs und manche unseren Humor wohl nicht ganz mit uns teilen aber sonst? Wegen was Neid? Wir sind nur eine Band die nicht so einen Status hat das man da darauf neidisch sein müßte.

Die Vorsilbe "Dis" in eurem Bandnamen erinnert an alte Hardcorebands. Wie kam es zu der Namenswahl?
Naja, daher kommt das sicher nicht her. Der Name klang damals cool und deswegen haben wir uns für den entschieden. Zu den Bands noch dies DISGORGE, DISMEMBER, DISHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, DISSECTION... Naja, also lag das bei uns sicher nicht am Hard Core.

Wo liegt für euch der Sinn solch brutaler Musik, dem Gegröle, den besoffenen Fans und der Gewaltverherrlichung. Wäre es nicht sinnvoller auf Blumenwiesen spazieren zu gehen ... ?
Der Sinn ist die Liebe zur Musik! Leider gibt es nicht mehr zu viele idilische Blumenwiesen. Naja, nicht die besoffenen Fans sind der Grund, da saufen wir doch lieber selber haha

Was entgegnest du auf die Bemerkung, dass Death-Metal-Bands ihre Instrumente nicht beherrschen (das lernte ich vor zehn Jahren noch in der Schule)
Naja, da hast Du aber seit sehr langer Zeit nicht mehr so viel mit bekommen haha Wie wäre es mit MORBID ANGEL, CANNIBAL CORPSE, DYING FETUS, CRYPTOPSY, ATHEIST, CYNIC glaube nicht das Schulbands das so einfach spielen könnten. Das Niveau hat sich gewaltig gesteigert. Am Anfang dieser Musik konnte man dies behaupten! Schätze das war bei den meisten Musikrichtungen so bis die Leute die Musik immer mehr verbessert und verfeinert haben! Es waren auch meistens junge Leute damals.

Was du schon immer sagen wolltest ...
Vielen Dank für das Interview! Hoffe einige Leute haben dies gelesen und sind nicht mehr neidisch oder voller Haß gegen uns haha

Wie seid Ihr zum Death Metal gekommen und wie habt Ihr in der Band zueinander gefunden?
Ich höre DM seit dem es die Musikrichtung gibt und kann nicht genug davon bekommen! Es war eh klar das DISINFECT nur extremen Death Metal spielen wird und das war auch das Ziel die Band überhaupt entstehen zu lassen!
Die Band hatte sehr viele Wechsel zu verkraften, die uns auch super zurück geworfen haben. Seit letztem Jahr ist das Line-Up komplett. Der Grund dafür war das ich nach der SINISTER-Tour alleine dastand und neue Leute für das OBSCENE Festival brauchte, es hat nicht lange gedauert und ich hatte einen neue Mannschaft an Bord die bis jetzt zusammengehalten hat! Und hoffe auch weiter Bestand haben wird!!

Hattet Ihr vor Disinfect noch andere Bands/Projekte?
Ja, einiges an Bands. Ich spielte davor bei OBSCURE, kurz bei HILARION und meiner ersten Band PROPHECY.
Einige haben immer noch Nebenprojekte am Start in denen sie ihre anderen Ideen ausleben können.

Haben Euch andere Bands inspiriert, bzw. beeinflusst? Welche und wie?
Inspiriert hat uns der ganze Ami-DM. CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE, MORBID ANGEL, DEEDS OF FLESH, DYING FETUS, NILE, DISGORGE (US)... um einige zu nennen
Beeinflußt sicher auch auf eine Art und Weise. Das müssen die Leute entscheiden die unsere Musik anhören, wie stark die Einflüsse sind. Ich hoffe nicht das wir ein Klon einer Band sind, da dies sicher nicht unser Ziel ist!

Wie wichtig sind für Euch Eure Texte und von was handeln sie?
Texte sind wichtig für uns. Sie sollte eine Aussage haben auch, wenn sie manchmal bei uns etwas ironisch oder sarkastisch ausfallen.
Es geht bei uns um persönliche Probleme, Ängste die wir Erlebt haben, um die Welt um uns herum oder einfach um Krieg,

Wie stellt Ihr Euch Eure musikalische Zukunft vor?
Auf jeden Fall nächstes Jahr die nächste CD raus bringen, da jetzt auch die neuen Jungs was dazu beigetragen haben. Viele Konzerte und Festivals mitnehmen neue Erfahrungen machen. In vielen verschiedenen Ländern spielen!
Das wir einen super fairen Deal mit einem coolen Label bekommen, das uns etwas mehr vorran bringt.

Welches war bisher Euer bestes Konzert?
Letztes Jahr in der La Laiterie in Straßburg auf dem GRIND YOUR SOUL FESTIVAL und die letzten zwei DEPTH OF WINTER FESTIVALS. Waren super Festivals mit sehr vielen Leuten und einer super Stimmung!!

Wo und mit wem würdet Ihr gern mal wieder spielen?
La Laiterie wäre cool. Mit allen Bands mit denen wir bis jetzt gespielt haben wäre super haha Die waren wirklich fast alle sehr locker drauf! Es gab da schon ein paar Ausnahmen aber im großen und ganzen wären alle Bands super haha Das wo ist schon etwas besser zB: Wacken, Fuck the Commerce, Milwaukee und noch paar mehr. Aber auch auf jedem anderen Festival und coolen Konzert!!
 
Ihr veranstaltet ja selber Festivals und Konzerte, was habt Ihr für Erfahrungen gemacht?
Ja, sagen wir mal so ich mache das Meiste davon haha Ja, das DEPTH OF WINTER habe ich die letzten zwei Jahre gemacht. Im Vorfeld sehr viel Streß aber wenn dann alles super läuft die Leute Spaß haben die Bands gut mitmachen und natürlich das Geld eingespielt wurde ist es ein super Gefühl! Bis jetzt habe ich nur positive Erfahrungen gemacht.

Aus welcher Gegend kommt Ihr?
Raum Ludwigsburg / Stuttgart aus dem schönen Schwabenländle

Gibt es in Eurer Gegend eine kultige Metal Kneipe, Disco, Club, Juha, etc.?
Ja, logisch die Rock Fabrik Ludwigsburg aber die hat auch schon sehr stark nachgelassen.

Eure letzten Worte?:?
Vielen Dank für das Interview und die Chance unsere Gedanken einem breiterem Publikum zu präsentieren!! Hört euch unsere CD "Beinspender" an!!
 

THE GRIMOIRE
 
1. Your "beinspender" album was the best album I received in the past few months. Did you ever hear of the band "Casket"? They sent me an album called "Under The Surface" and it was as savory as yours. The only problem is that there is already a band called "Casket" that has released some unbearably homosexual albums, and I think they gave the good Casket a bad name. Have you ever heard of the band I am talking about?
Yeah, good to hear that and thanks a lot that you like our stuff! I heard the name CASKET but never listen to them.

2. Have any labels picked up the album, or is it strictly an independent release?
We had two small labels till now. First was UNTERFETT.Rex and now we signed with REST IN HELL REORDS from our area here in the south.

3. Germany is a strange country in which death metal fans also seem to like glam. Are you such a metalhead?
What do you mean with glam? If you mean when we go out and people came to us and say hey we knew you and you make good music let´s drink some beers then it´s ok and I think nothing wrong but if you mean "hey we´re somthing better then you" then NO! We´re just Death Metal fans playing in a Death Metal band and trying to do the best!

4. Germany also seems to have an erection for unmanly vocals and simplistic music, like Hammerfall and all other kinds of bands that have escaped the queerbashing that lies in store for them if they ever set foot in America. Why does Germany adore such faggy bands?
HAHAHA No I don´t think that normal metalheads listened to this kind of gay shit Metal!! Second I don´t know people they like shit like this haha

5. It surprises me that something so brutal comes out of there. You must be from east Germany, correct?
No, we´re from South Germany Ludwigsburg / Stuttgart. Here´s a big Death Metal and Black Metal scene. I think one of the biggest and best in Germany

6. Hey, if you ever see the singer of Atrocity, would you be so kind as to shove a garbage can up his ass? Tell him I want to personally break his nose for making that once-great band so absolutely gay.
HAHA Yes, that´s true what you said but they split before some weeks!! But I can tell him what you said haha

7. For the sake of the English-speaking readers, would you translate some of your German titles? I want to be sure that I am not supporting any homosexual bands.
No we´re not a homosexual band are you homosexual? haha It´s hard to translate the words because it´s playing with words what we made. I´ll try it! Beinspender means spending a leg. If you read the lyric you´ll see it´s about warmines. Darmmanifest it´s like gutmanifest it´s about our society and the only thing in live is money. Menschenfeind means misanthropist and I think you know what´s the meaning of this.

8. Ok, what is the meaning of "Foxy Disintegration?"
You´re born and then everything goes fast and you´re getting very fast old and when you die there´s something left, maybe? I don´t mean your dead body haha but maybe a soul? It´s about the stupidity of live and it´s a short time you spend here on earth and the hope that there´s something after this!

9. Does your band play live? Could you please prove your manhood and wear swastikas?
Yes, sure we play a lot live! We´ll play in November on three Death Metal festivals and a lot of smaller gigs. Hey, we´re real men, we allways wear swastikas on stage haha No just a joke!

10. I don't usually delve into politics, 10. I don't usually delve into politics, but there is something very strange about Germany. In the history of the world, when one force overcomes another, the spoils of war go to the victor. I am unsuccessfully trying to understand why jews are trying to get money back from Germany. I mean, that was a war! I thought it was a joke when I first heard it. If this is the way of the new world, then I would like the catholic church to begin reversing some of its robberies too. What do you think, Hitler?
Haha Sorry but I´m not Hitler. I think WW 2 is over and that´s about 56 years!! No one of this people live any more and if yes then only some hundred! No one of the new generations did something or had something to do with this war. If the jews want some money then they should go to school, study and work and then they´ll get money! Like you said with the church and I knew two really sick and fuckin´ dangerous guys! Asterix and Obelix they killed some thousand Romans and no one said they should pay for this! haha

11. Sorry to take advantage of your German blood, but I need just a few more favors. Do you know what happened to the singer from Bethlehem's "Dictius Te Necare" album? Also, are Deathrow's earlier albums released on CD in Germany yet?
No I never listen to Betlehem and second don´t know it, too.

12. Scandinavians used their pride as a marketing tool for some really bad music. Do you think that such a scheme would work for German bands?
You mean like sick, extreme Wotan brutallity from Germania? haha No it´s harder for Death/Black Metal bands from Germany to make it this way like the Scandinavians did. But the rest of this shitty Heavy Metal bands they made it this way like Metal from Germany. Scorpions, Pretty Maids or bands like this.

13. What is the racial situation like in Germany? I heard that whites are a minority over there. I am sure that Hitler would be very happy to see that.
No, but sometimes you can believe this haha There´re a lot of problems with Turks here. I don´t think that Hitler would be very happy about this. Haha

14. Is your family part of Hitler's bloodline?
My ancestor are from Austria and I think my grandpa had the initial A.H. haha

15. Would you like to dispel the myth that European women are hairy?
They do not have bushy armpits or forestral pubic hair. No, the German girls are not hairy. I never had a girlfirend with bushy armpits or a hairy cunt. Don´t want a monkey in my bed haha

16. Does your mother have a mustache?
HMMM I think no? haha Your mom?

17. If I were to visit Germany, exatly how long would it take for mee to get my ass kicked?
I think you´ll get the ass kicked in the plane before you came here hahaha
 

TWILIGHT-MAGAZIN

1. Was könnt ihr mit zu eurem Entstehung der Band?
a) Was hat euch motiviert Musik zu machen? Der Metal an sich!
Damals waren es vielleicht noch andere Bands, die sich im Laufe der Zeit geändert haben aber es war der Metal und die Drogen, Alkohol und die Frauen haha
b) Aus welchen musikalischen Lagern kommen eure einzelnen Bandmitglieder?
Jetzt im Moment kommen wir alle aus dem Death Metal!!
c) Was ist bis heute so bei euch geschehen?
2 CD´s eine Live die neue im Studio und sehr viel Konzerte, Festivals und paar Touren und natürlich ein Plattenvertrag.

2. Welches sind eure grössten Einflüsse?
Der Ami Death Metal wie CANNIBAL COPRSE, DEICIDE, MORBID ANGEL, DEEDS OF FLESH, DISGORGE, MORTICIAN, DYING FETUS...

3. Wie würdet ihr eure Musik selbst beschreiben und kategorisieren?
Extremer, schneller und brutaler Ami Death Metal. So wie wir in den meisten Mags beschrieben werden oder Death/Grind
b) Und was haltet ihr von Kategorisierung bzw. Schubladendenken bezüglich Musikstilen
Es ist wichtig bis zu einem Punkt aber es müßen nicht erst zwei Seiten Musikbeschreibung auftauchen bevor es wirklich um die Band geht!

4. Wie ensteht bei euch das Songwriting und wie läuft eine Recording Session bei euch ab?
Entweder schreibe ich die Songs erst zu Hause und zeige sie dann im Proberaum wie sie sein sollen oder ich bringe ein paar Riffs mit und der andere Gitarrist steuret welche bei und dann wird gearbeitet haha Aber auch der zweite Gitarrero bringt was mit!

5. Welche Bedeutung mißt Ihr dem Sound bzw. der Produktion generell bei? Denkt Ihr beispielsweise, dass gute Songs auch mit einem durchschnittlichen Sound funktionieren können?
Der Sound und die Produktion müßen stimmen. Es gibt alte Kultbands mit geilen Songs aber scheiß Sound und dann denkt man schön öfters, wenn Du jetzt die Platte mit einem richtig fettem Sound anhören würdest, wäre sie schon um einiges besser! Wie gesagt gut Songs mit gutem Sound sind schon besser haha

6. Wie sieht es mit Live-Gigs aus?
Ja, sehr gut haben schon einige Bretter in Schutt und Asche gelegt und das Europaweit!!

7. Was steckt hinter eurem Bandnamen? Wieso habt ihr diesen gewählt und was bedeutet er für euch? Er klingt gut und der Schriftzug passt zu der Bedeutung!
Gewählt haben wir ihn deswegen, weil ich mal die coolsten Namen genommen habe die mir eingefallen sind und wir danach geschaut haben welche Bands es schon mit dem Namen gibt aber ich muß sagen das DISINFECT schon unser Favourit war!!

8. Was erhofft ihr euch bandtechnisch für die Zukunft? Wann ist mit neuem Material zu rechnen?
Auf jeden Fall mehr Konzerte, einen besseren Deal mit einer Plattenfirma die unser Potenzial zu schätzen weiß und das neue Zeug kommt nächstes Jahr im Sommer/Herbst raus! Auf jeden Fall wieder sehr heftig!!

9. Wie steht ihr generell der Metal-Szene gegenüber?
Hui, was für eine Szene?!?! haha Es gab so etwas mal wie eine Szene, so wie jede Szene haha Ist ok hoffe sie wird wieder etwas größer!

10. Abschliessende Worte an unsere Leserschaft?
Auf jeden Fall bedanken wir uns für das Interview!! Und Leute hört mal in unsere CD rein und wenn sie euch gefällt "kaufen"!! Gruß Chris & DISINFECT
 

VATES-NOCTIS

1. Beschreib doch mal den Werdegang von Disinfect
DISINFECT wurden 1999 gegründet. Damals spielte ich noch in einer anderen Death Metal Band namens OBSCURE. Die Musik war eher Midtempo Death Metal und meine Vorschläge die Musik schneller und extremer zu machen wurden nicht so sehr beachtet haha Deswegen wurde DISINFECT mit ein paar anderen Leuten die dies auch machen wollten gegründet. Paar Wochen danach löste sich OBSCURE auf und ich widmete mich ganz DISINFECT zu. Seid Beginn haben einige Wechsel in der Band statt gefunden. Der Extremste war nach SINISTER, da stand ich dann ganz alleine da. Was nicht so schlimm war, da wir einen sehr guten Ruf hatten und ich praktisch für jedes Instrument bis zu 2-3 neue Leute zur Auswahl hatte!! Seit Mitte 2000 sind wir vollständig und hoffe es wird auch so bleiben!

2. Wovon handeln eure Lyrics?
Das ist wirklich unterschiedlich von Gore, Krieg, Haß und persönlichen Erfahrungen und Geschehnissen die um uns passieren. Hier mal kurz was zu jedem Lied:
Beinspender, geht um die Heimtücke von Mienen und um einen Soldaten der Bekanntschaft mit einer macht.
One Night Steak, der Mensch als Stück Fleisch in one night stands.
Darmmanifest, handelt um unsere Ellbogengesellschaft und um das liebe Geld.
After Killing, ein Serienkiller geht um
L2A5, ist ein Panzer und seine Zerstörungskraft
Inner Fear, es geht um Ängste die einen zerfressen können, wenn man nicht dagegen ankämpft.
Grave New World, der Mensch und die Umwelt
Menschenfeind, sagt ja wohl alles!
Foxy Disintegration, der Zerfall des Menschen als Wesen aber dennoch nicht das Ende.

3. Ihr seit ja sehr von Americanischem Death Metal beeinflusst, was sind demzufolge eure Einflüsse oder Idole?
Einflüße und Idole? Naja, Idole habe ich keine und ich hoffe das man die Einflüße nicht zu sehr raus hört, da wir ja doch eigenständig bleiben wollen. Aber Lieblingsbands gibt´s einige! CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE, MORBID ANGEL, DISGORGE, DEEDS OF FLESH, DYING FETUS, NILE, BRUTAL TRUTH, SINISTER

4. Ihr wahrt ja mit Sinister und Apophis auf Tour, erzähl doch mal ein wenig von den Eindrücken und Erfahrungen die ihr gewinnen konntet!
HAHA Eindrücke Hmmm Tja wie viel kann man saufen und das jeden Tag ohne von der Bühne zu fallen haha Es war auf jeden Fall eine super coole Tour. Bei der ich ja der Mitveranstalter war. Auf jeden Fall habe ich in APOPHIS Freunde für Leben gefunden und treffe mich noch mit dem Roger so 2 Mal die Woche.

5. Ihr seit jetzt bei Rest in Hell Records unter der Haube. Was dürfen wir also in Zukunft von euch erwarten?
Hoffe doch noch sehr viel und bessere Promotion, da ich bis jetzt immer noch das Meiste mache und auch gerne hätte das die Plattenfirma mehr macht!! Wir schauen uns aber jetzt mal etwas um, da wir denken das wir die Zeit nicht so ungenützt verstreichen lassen können. Wir wollen nächstes Jahr auf jeden Fall noch einige größere Festivals spielen und wenn es geht auch mehr Touren. Das Andere was noch kommt ist die neue CD aber erst so mitte Sommer, Herbst.

6. Wie siehst du das Problem das Metal im TV nahezu ignoriert wird?
Ziemlich zum kotzen. Dieses ganze Nu-Metal Gewichse geht mir ziemlich gegen den Strich. Besonders so Penner wie Limp Bizkit und Konsorten. Das Zeug wird den Leuten als Metal verkauft hat aber eigentlich nichts damit zu tun. Die Idioten sehen erstens eher aus wie irgendwelche Ghetto Rapper und Zweitens wo ist der Metal?! Leider ist Metal nicht so populär und man kann mit der Musik nicht so viel Geld machen wie mit solchen Kaspern.

7: Was hältst du davon das www.metal2tv.de sich dafür einsetzt dass wieder mehr Metal gezeigt wird?
Ja, das ist wirklich mal eine sehr gute Idee!! Einer muß ja endlich damit anfangen das die Leute sich etwas mehr einsetzen den Metal wieder in´s Fernsehen zu bringen!

8. Hast du noch Abschlussworte?
Vielen Dank für das Interview! Leute geht mal auf www.disinfect.de drauf und hört euch mal unser Zeug an und wenn´s euch gefällt bestellt auch gleich mal eine CD. haha
 

VOICES FROM THE DARKSIDE

1) What made you become a metal fan? Do you remember your first record and your first concert? Which? Do you still like your old Metal records? Are you rather a CD or a vinyl freak? Which band "introduced" you to extreme Metal?
Haha my first record was on tape and I was ca.5 years old it was a sampler of AC/DC my cousin gave me. My first LP was KISS with 9 or 10 years. Had to save the money a long time before I could by this LP haha My first gig, there were a lot smaller Underground gigs but the first big one was TANKARD. I like more CD´s it´s easier with them especially when you can put 6 in your player haha I searched allways something extremer first AC/DC, KISS, MOTÖRHEAD, CELTIC FROST, METALLICA, SLAYER then NAPALM DEATH, SOD.........now CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEICIDE, DEEEDS OF FLESH, DISGORGE, MORBID ANGEL, NILE........

2) What made you grab an instrument? Did you play an instrument before you wanted to play Metal, for example the piano?
My first guitar was with 6 years after the AC/DC tape haha But I was to young and to stupid and it took 7 more years till I really begun to play. No, it was only the guitar.

3) DISINFECT was founded in 1999. How did you find the other guys? Did you release anything before "Beinspender", maybe with a different band?
The band had a lot of big changes, the biggest was after the SINISTER tour I was the only member in the band but it was not so bad some days after I could select who should play in the band because I had about 2-3 new people for every instrument! The line-up was complete in the middle of 2000, till now! Before DISINFECT there were a lot of bands the last was OBSCURE it was in the way of old MORBID ANGEL, PESTILENCE or DEATH. Have allways 5 tapes! If someone wants a tape it´s just 7,-DM

4) I think you mentioned you're in the graphics business - did you create your logo yourself? It looks quite good and yet it's readable! Do you make logos for other bands as well?
No, the logo was created by Christoph Szpajdel. He made logos for bands like EMPEROR, MOONSPELL, OLD MAN`S CHILD.... I´m a fotograf and graphik I made a lot of booklets, pic of bands! If a band, label or mag is interested just write a mail!

5) You are with Rest In Hell Records right now. Are you looking for bigger labels or are you satisfied with their work?
Yes, sure. We didn´t do it first but we send now promos away since two weeks. We need much more promotion in mags some big festivals... the problem is our label is to small to do things like this and you they need much more financial power to do it!

6) You already played tons of gigs and even a tour with SINISTER and APOPHIS and you are known as a good live band. So what led to the bad situation at EAR TERROR Festival in November 2001? And what made you decide you're gonna bring that gig to an end? The next day NECOLOGY gave up...
There was nothing to hear on the stage!!!! Only a broken trigger second we came only some minutes before our gig and it was really a long distance to drive 850km and that in winter and if you only sit in the car and then you had to go on stage and play and then you´ve a sound like this on stage!! We had to play till the end the people paid the money to see us and we don´t want to disapoint someone! Hope we´ll get a second chance to show them what DISINFECT really means on stage!!

7) Would you like to be the opening act for a big festival tour like the NO MERCY or the X-Mas tours? There are so many bands on one evening - do you think it would help your band? Being a Metal fan, do you attend such shows yourself?
?!?! This is a really good question!! It´s good because a lot of peeople can see you (maybe) but as the first band in this kind of big festival-tours it could be you can´t play because of the time or you have to play at a really early time and not to many poeple will see you. I don´t know but I think if someone will ask we´ll say yes haha
I don´t like it to much there are to many bands for one day.

8) What do you think about writing songs, recording them and playing live?
Everything is great. The period till the new song is made or when you record it is very creative and it´s allways great to see how the people react on your new songs. Live playing is the most importend thing and the best thing to show the power of your music!!

9) Who writes the DISINFECT songs? How do you do it? Do you develop them at the rehearsal room with everybody jamming or do you rather sit down on you own?
The most songs are made by my self. Normally I sit at home and play. The best riffs are taken then and after we sit at the rehearsal and try to make something great sometimes a other member had a good idea to put it in the song. But the other guitarist is more and more involved into the music of DISINFECT.

10) How important are the lyrics for DISINFECT? I think you're using German lyrics for some songs, right? Why? Who is responsible for DISINFECT lyrics anyway?
Lyrics are very importend! We don´t want to make as the 10000000 band only gore lyrics. There´re a lot of different things we talk in lyrics. But there are some gory and bloody songs, too haha
It´s just one song in German language. The most songs are made by our vocalist then me and the other guitarist.

11) Can you briefly explain what each song is about?
Yes sure!
Beinspender: It´s about a soldier and war mines.
One Night Steak: One night stands. One part is allways only a piece of flesh that satisfy somebodys sexually fantasy
Darmmanifest: Our society and the only god is money
After Killing: A serialkiller is doing his job
L 2 A 5: About a tank and the power of it
Inner Fear: it´s a personally song about fears and that you´ve fight against them
Grave New World: The human race and how we handle it with our nature.
Menschenfeind: Misanthropist.
Foxy Disintegration: Death and the hope that there´s something after this what we call life..
 
12) "Beinspender" seems to deal a lot with war - is it a concept album? Where did you get the movie samples from? I bet one of them is from "Stalingrad", one of the most frightening movies I ever saw... . What attracts your interest to war anyway?
Yes, it´s a lot of war but it was not a concept album. The samples are from Stalingrad and the first from?! Don´t know haha War is something typical for the human race like to eat or drink. You know it is like: "If there is no war we´ll make some" they´ll find allways a reason haha

13) When will we hear a new DISINFECT CD?
Hope at the middle of summer 2002!

14) What do you think about the current german extreme underground scene? Are there any bands you personally like a lot?
I think the scene is growing!! That´s great to see that there are more and more people at concerts!! There´re some very good bands like ANASARCA, GALLERY OF DARKNESS, OF TREES AND ORCHIDES, FLESHCRAWL, APOPHIS, OBSCENITY...

15) You're organizing the DEPTH OF WINTER festival near Stuttgart every year. What's the idea behind it - I think it's a charity festival for children with cancer? I think that's a brilliant idea - how did you develop this concept? Did you work in a hospital? Are there any commonly known bands
playing the festival or is it pure underground?
Yes it´s a charity one. I spend the money for children with cancer this year. I think the money will be for animals next year! It was not my idea it´s the one of Haiko he was our first drummer and he made this festival for years but he had no time to make it longer and the last two years are made by my self and help of some other people. I got big help from Oliver of SACRIFICIUM he made the home-page and the he was one of the sound guys!
I allways try to put some good underground bands on stage but some well known bands, too! Last year FLESHCRAWL, APOPHIS this year DISASTROUS MURMUR and next year??

16) Do you have a funny or interesting story for our readers?
HAHA I think there´re a lot of really good storys. I´ll talk about the SINISTER tour in Weinheim. At this day some people stand in front of the place and they had not enough money to came in. I came out infront of the place and I was fuckin´ drunk and they asked me if I can do something and I let them in. Two of this visitors play now in my band and one of the girls didn´t want to came with me to the hotel room , weeks later I met her in a club but I wasn´t so drunk like on tour haha and we talked a little bit and she said something about the tour and if I knew her I was not 100% sure because I was so drunk at this time. Some days after we had a date and since that date she´s my girlfriend! That´s a funny and romantic story haha

17) Any last words? Anything you would like to add?
Ramon, thanks a lot for this very cool interview!! Have a nice X-Mass and don´t drink to much haha The readers should take a look at www.disinfect.de and if you like our stuff you can buy our new CD! ;-)

VOLUME MAXIMUM

1. I do not like to start an interview with biography, so, first of all, whats the word DISINFECT mean to all of you? And how about Beinspender?
That´s our life in the moment! Something very importend! Beinspender is our current CD and I hope a good one. Till now we got lots of very good reviews/interviews and the people react very cool to the music!

2. You recorded Beindspender in Slovaks Exponent Studio, then, whats the main reason behind this? The price? The result you want? Or just for vacation?
I think you have huge killer studios recording around you? Roger of APOPHIS told me about the studio that there´s a good sound and very cheap and this was the reason to go to Slovak Rep. We got a lot good studios here in Germany but they are fuckin´ expensive.

3. I have to reduce the bass volume of my stereo to hear Beinspender perfectly, do you got this such problems during the recording process? Or maybe only me who got this problems ha ha?
We don´t have this kind of problems. Yes it´s true it´s a deep frequencies oriented CD

4. I never heard REST IN HELL records who really lucky to get a chance to release Beinspender, are you happy/satisfied with what they´ve done? I think with your killer members and songs, lots of big label will try to be your wife ah ah..
It´s a new and small label they paid the CD´s and our backdrop but that´s all!! No promotion at all I´ve to do all work alone like before without a label. Hope we´ll get a chance for a good and fair record deal!!

5. Your songs, I´d like to say that were pretty cool brutal songs. Who´s the main writer of all your songs? Their looks like you have trained. Are you guys trained or self taught?
Thanks!! Great to hear that especially because I´m the main writer of the songs and some of the lyrics. Some of us play their instruments about 10 years and we played in a lot of different bands till now.

6. I heard that Germans metal scene were very rough now than 80´s/90´s era? What do you see?
Yes it´s getting rougher from year to year like the music or if you want to get a deal or to play somewhere!! Everything is getting rougher!

7. Also you said that Germany has no more TV shows for metal, I couldn´t believe that, you know, and there are so many big bands from your country.
Yes that´s true. There´re no Metal shows here in TV!! This sucks because we´ve a big Metal scene!!

8. You got tons of gigs and get in touch with lots of bands off course. Then tell us 5 or more unsigned metal bands from your country that worth to check out.
Ok here´re 5 unsigned bands:
GALLERY OF DARKNESS great Death Metal OF TREES AND ORCHIDES Death Metal / they´ve a new name now but I forgot it?! FALLEN SAINTS Death Metal
FALLEN YGGDRASIL Death Metal APOPHIS Death/ Thrash

9. Tell us a little of your next CD. Have you written some of them? What will it be? And what kind of things are you practicing now?
Yes, there´re some new songs done till now!! We tuned down our guitars. We´re on C now . Second the music will be more technical but also brutal and fuckin´ fast!! This time there´re a lot lyrics about sex and violence. Something new in Death Metal haha We´re now working on new songs because we want to go studio and that very soon!!

10. Thank you. Now everything is yours.
Thanks a lot for the intie Agung and the other readers should take a look at www.disinfect.de and listen to some tracks and if you like the stuff just order it at disinfect@gmx.de
 

WARZONE

1.- Hi Chris. How are you?
Hi C, thanks I´m fine, everything is allright!

2.- Well, Disinfect is a know act mainly in Europe thanks to Beinspender but here in South America is not as known as should be. Can you start this interview telling us about the main facts in Disinfect history?
DISINFECT was formed in 1999 as a side project. I played before in a other Death Metal band called OBSCURE but the music was to slow and I decided to start a new project but after a while OBSCURE split after 5 years and DISINFECT started to be my mainprojekt. We play brutal Death Metal in the vein of US bands. Fuckin´ fast, deep and brutal

Yeah it´s great to see that a lot people like our stuff! That´s a very good feeling, till now we didn´t get any bad review!

4.- Why you change from Rest in Hell Records to Diamond Records? What are the new plans in the new label? A new album on the way?

We´re a live band. Just like hell on stage. No we don´t play covers

9.- What is your opinion of the "melodic death metal"?
I don´t like this childish melodies!

10.- Changing the subject I am very happy that Gemany ain't supporting that stupid war of Bush. Is good to know that most of the "biggest" countries are working for a better world and are against the "preventive war".
If war is needed then they should do it but not with reasons that no one can and should believe! The only reason was the oil, the control over this area and to help Israel!

11.- May be almighty president Bush declare Gemany and all other countries (including Chile) that are against the war to be part of the "axis of evil"....
He´s a stupid man but if he think he can go on this way then he´s totally wrong! This countries are not stupid and if needed they´ll exist without USA

12.- Thanks for your time and please feel free to say anything else to our readers.
Thanx for the interview and support!!
All the people out there take a look at www.disinfect.de and listen to more extreme musick!
