the ARTISIAN interview:

This is a death/ black metal band hailing from the Queenland UK! They already played along with Gorgoroth, Marduk, Mayhem just to name a few. Glad I was about to interview them. Here you go!



'A-C-Z': - 1.) Hellish greetings to Artisian! What are the latest updates with your band? You mentioned that your 4th album will be out soon. What are the added technicalities you made or change with your music?

- The music has developed a LOT, we have toured a lot, I have changed my line up to get the exact musicians I wanted, and finally got the band to work the way I want it too, also my own playing has got better, just due to practice etc, the riffs are twice as fast, twice as dark, but with even more dynamics, The band is built totally on misanthropy and my hated and rage for the human race, which is why it’s a black metal band with grindcore influence and a very raw edge, only so many people get it. But the 4th album on Sworn records will be call ‘A PLAGUE ON ALL YOUR HOUSES’ we will record in Feb and have it released in Summer 09


'A-C-Z': - 2.) Your band started only last June ’04 and from then on, you were able to play with great bands like Gorgoroth, Mayhem, Marduk, Enthroned, Napalm Death and the list goes on ( now I’m fucking jealous). How were you able to get such great gigs with them? Are there a lot of Black and Death metal bands in ..Southampton..?

- Hardwork and a through our booker who works for our label.

- There are very few extreme metal bands in Southampton and certainly no black metal bands, nothing that’s active or worth talking about, In fact, I think about it and the only shit you get in Southampton is the emo shit that is currently littering the music scene, they have no real hatred, no real darkness, certainly no muscle, rage or spirit. It’s all about spending time on your hair, being fake and is totally disgusting.


'A-C-Z': - 3.) Besides our Satan Father as your influence, do you have “human or mortal” person (or thing) that had influence you as an individual or musician? Do you listen to other genre of music?

- SATAN FATHER, Misanthropy, hatred, rage, aggression and violence. You ask what other music I am inspired by

- Black Metal obviously.

- Hardcore e.g. Minor Threat, Madball and Rollins.

- Brutal death/grind metal e.g. Devourment, deeds of flesh and Napalm Death

- I like extreme music, that is honest in its rage and anger, hatred and has a true pulse and gives off heat, that is channeled, calculated, but also I like chaos in rage and anger, but I prefer the controlled, deliberate type.


'A-C-Z': - 4.) Who usually writes the lyrics? Have you ever thought of adding another member of the band like percussionist, organist, etc?

- I write the lyrics, only, and will only ever be the one to do that, I haven’t worked with anyone enraged and angry enough to impress me enough to allow that to happen, also Artisian is mine, I set it up, I am the servant of this Satanic machine of hatred and I know what it wants to say alone. - Certainly not!!


'A-C-Z': - 5.) Tell us about your Satanic lifestyle. Do you any rituals before performing or when on stage?

- I do, but, this is a private matter, I cant answer this, sorry.


'A-C-Z': - 6.) Your music transpires from the dark view of society, melancholy, hypocrite politics, man-religion, and so on. Do you think that there’s no salvation for humanity? I like the lines in your profile (whoever said this) that “we came into the world alone, we will leave alone” You said it like a true Satanist, hell ya.

- The only salvation for man is at the end of a knife, they have gone too far and have no respect for the earth. They were given an opportunity to do something and they went on in and raped it. I said “we came into the world alone, we will leave alone” once you realize you are on your own and have no one else to truly rely on you may feel a little better about this shit hole we wallow in created by our filthy forefathers and current guttural peers. Every one and every thing you love or hold close will end, die or walk away from you. Its one of the very few things you can actually be sure of.


'A-C-Z': - 7.) I am really sadden in how people are ignorant or see Satanism as resentful in this society. Why do you think Christianity or any other religion manipulates the mind of people that Satanism is evil?

- The truth is that organized religion is the true evil in actual fact, for example look at Palestine, it has been at war for ever, since the Jews arrived with Moses and tried to force Judaism, since the crusaders arrived and tried to ram Christianity down the throats of the locals (and then the Pope decided to kill the crusaders as they got to much power) and now Islam is trying convert or kill everyone. Satanism is about doing your own thing, and fuck everyone else, not organizing an army and force feeding your doctrines on individuals. I digress, but would like to state, that Paganism wasn’t ever a threat, and the Catholic church systematically destroyed its culture and murdered its people to simply gain mind control, a lot like communism in the former USSR, they wanted the people uneducated, unquestioning and totally suppressed. And by saying anything Pagan was unholy and evil; they frightened people in believing it was something it wasn’t. Satanism is a pretty new thing Anton le Vay etc. Our roots and beliefs are closer to devil worship. But I do get a lot of the Satanic Churches doctrines and ideals.

'A-C-Z': - 8.) Do you really believe that Black metal started in ..Norway.. and not somewhere else like ..Greece.. or ....Romania....? Is it really applicable that once a band plays Black metal, one should always be Satanic?

- Well Black Sabbath were pretty Satanic back in the 70’s, I personally cant stand the band, but listen to vol 1 its pretty black for its day, the sound has developed, and the media jumped on the Norwegian thing to sell there shitty mags and papers when someone killed another guy and someone burnt a church down, so fucking what, im sure we all know an alcoholic that at least tried to burn a building down, or some fool that ended there own social freedom from killing some other equally unimportant person. Black metal has roots in metal, punk and allsorts, and each black metal band has its own take on the presentation, even if it’s within certain parameters. I lot of good black metal bands have come from there, but I doubt they fundamentally created it. Id need to research it a lot more too REALLY answer that. Its too easy to talk about Dark Throne and Burzum, I d really need to look much more deeply to answer you properly, sorry.

- I think you can play what the fuck you want, and have whatever religion and beliefs, music is about freedom and no constraints, or working within the constrains you set yourself.


'A-C-Z': - 9.) If Artisian music can be painted, what will be the outcome?

- a massive oil painting, in thick red paint, depicting the savage murder and brutal rape of an innocent baby, part modern/ part pre Raphaelite, this is what I see people have done to the world and Mother nature.


'A-C-Z': - 10.) You told me that you had toured 16 countries already. Which of these places that you never expect would have a great crowd? Any plans going to South East Asian countries like ..Philippines.. or ..Middle East.. like UAE?

- if the booker offers us a tour there, we will go. If we are offered a gig there, we will go. If anyone wants us and invites us. We will come. Just ask!


'A-C-Z': - 11.) Who would you rather sacrifice: George Bush, the Pope, or Queen B?

- Now your just DELIBERATLY making things difficult aren’t you!!!!! FUCK IT lets do the Pope. Bush is out of office and so fucking thick he would never learn anything, no one would give a shit if the queen parasite got wasted, which leaves us the Pope, the Catholics have a lot of blood on their hands, since they were on the go 1500years or so before America even existed, but then they stole that land from the natives, but the queen is related to the scum that rammed their shitty empire on everyone, bugger it, do the pope. Let’s make him a martyr in the name of SATAN FATHER; we will at least sell some records!!


'A-C-Z': - 12.)What is Artisian’s plans in the blurry future? Will you still bring justice to this metal scene within 5yrs or more?

- to continue as I am.


'A-C-Z': - 13.) Ok, this is the finale of my interview. What do you want to say to all Artisian’s supporters? Those who despise you? And to readers? Thanks for giving me your dead time! Till next time! Horns up!

- Supporters – INFERNAL HAILS

- Critics and opposers – it was never for you anyway

- NBzine readers – PRAY SATAN FATHER
