Interview with Killjoy by Jenn Matthews

JENN: HOW IS THE RELEASE OF THE NEW CD SO FAR?
Killjoy: Things are gong well with "Holocausto". The reaction has been unfucking believable..we are very satisfied at this point.

HOW DO YOU FEEL THIS ALBUM DIFFERS FROM THE FIRST ONE?
This album is better than "Season" in every way. Production, songrwiting, musicianship..and it is by far the heaviest, rawest, sickest stuff I've ever done.

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO RECORD THE LATEST CD AND HOW DID IT GO?
It took about a month to record and six months to write...we're very satisfied at how it turned out...pure undead horror, horror and sicknes.

WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO RELEASE WITH PAT AND RED STREAM?
Red Stream is a great label..we signed with them over some of the bigger labels due to Pat's commitment and dedication to the band...also, I own his soul!!!!!!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF PAT'S DONKEY, PIERRE? HAVE YOU MET HIM YET?
Don't know anything about that, but I have met some of his girlfriends...they don't talk much or move around and for some reason they are always cold and clammey and extremely pale.

DO YOU MIND ALL THE TRAVELING YOU HAVE TO DO BECAUSE ALL THE MEMBERS ARE IN LOUISIANA?
No...I love New Orleans...it's like home away from home, or hell away from hell if you will.

WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO HAVE A COLLAGE OF PEOPLE IN THE INSIDE OF THE COVER?
Just something we've always done...it's cool to put some friends on the CD.

WHY DON'T YOU PLAY MANY SHOWS, LIKE MILWAUKEE, OR THE CLEVELAND FEST, ETC...?
We are all busy with so many things, that it's hard to get all of our schedules free to do a tour, but we will play some festivals in the future.

WHO DOES THE MAIL FOR THE BAND?
I usually do, as time permits...I try to answer everyone. Sometimes it takes awhile, but I always to answer all mail.

TELL ME ABOUT THE RECORD LABEL THAT YOU ARE STARTING.
It will be called "Devil Master"...I'll only sign bands that are to my personal taste.

WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER BAND YOU ARE IN. WHO ARE THE MEMBERS AND WHEN WILL SOMETHING BE RELEASED WITH THEM?
That is called EIBON. It's Fenriz of Darkthrone, Maniac and Blasphemer of Mayhem and myself. Vile, unholy black metal...we'll record our debut album in Norway, soon.

IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND AND COULD ONLY HAVE THREE THINGS, WHAT OR WHO WOULD THEY BE?
An electrical source, TV/VCR, and my horror collection.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIME?
It would be a toss up between Black Sabbath, Mayhem and C. Frost.

WELL KILLJOY, THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME OUT OF YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE TO DO THIS INTERVIEW. ANY LAST WORDS?
Thanks Jenn...hail Felci...hail gore...hail Jim Vanbebber!!!!
