Yes,
I know that Jenn did an interview with Killjoy for our last issue, but after
conversing with Killjoy, he offered to do an interview with me, giving all kinds
of exclusive information..how could I pass that up????......
(Dea): HAIL KILLJOY! HOW'S IT GOING?
(Killjoy): It's going very well..hectic, but well.
I GUESS I'LL START OFF WITH THE VIDEO YOU ARE WORKING ON, WITH DIRECTOR JIM
VANBEBBER. YOU JUST GOT BACK FROM WORKING ON IT, RIGHT? IS IT FINISHED? WHAT'S
IT GOING TO BE CALLED, AND WHAT CAN WE EXPECT?
Let me honestly and seriously say that the video is very vile, sick and
blasphemous..it's gonna get banned everywhere..it's sooo extreme and crosses a
lot of delicate lines, such as incest, rape, sacriligious imagery, heart eating,
vomiting, stabbings, shootings, burnings, crucifixions..everything..be prepared
for a very rough ride..i'ts gonna be called, "Through Eyes of the
Dead"..Vanbebber is a genious...he did an unbelievable job...
TELL US ABOUT THE UPCOMING MINI-CD, "BLACK BLOOD VOMITORIUM".
MANIAC OF MAYHEM IS DOING SOME GUEST VOCALS ON IT, RIGHT? HOW'S THAT
PROGRESSING? WHEN CAN WE EXPECT IT OUT?
The mini cd will be out on Halloween..it'll have about four new hymns of
sickness..I'm not sure if Maniac will have his stuff done in time for this
release..he does great stuff though..the concept of the title was inspired by a
dream I had about Euronymous a few years back..
HOW'S IT GOING TO COMPARE TO "HOLOCAUSTO"?
It's heavier and every bit as sick as Holocausto..I think when you hear it,
there's no mistaking it's Necrophagia..we have definitely got our own style and
sound..if you liked the last one, you'll love this, if you didn't like it..well,
then don't expect anything to like this one..we do what we do and will never
change..pure undead horror and sickness.
TELLL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE NECROPHAGIA COMIC BOOK.
That is based on the Black Blood Vomitorium concept as well..it's sick and gory
stuff..chas. balun will be doing the artwork for it..not sure when it'll be
out..definitely not by Halloween as originally planned..there will be a barf bag
with the MCD now...
YOUR RECORD LABEL, BAPHOMENT, RELEASED "ANTON'S" BLACK METAL
PROJECT, VIKING CROWN. TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT. WHAT OTHER RELEASES ARE
YOU PLANNING TO RELEASE ON BAPHOMET?
I started the label to support the underground and bands that I believe in..as
for Viking Corwn..it's brilliant stuff, in my book..and this is brand new news
exclusive for you...there will be a new Viking Crown album..it'll be Anton
again, but I will be doing vocals and we have a keyboard player..her name is
Opal Enthroned..as for other releases, there is Summon, Invasions, Blood Stained
Dusk, Antaeus, Demoncy, Octinimos, and the new Gods of Black
Metal..Thornspawn..all the bands are great and I believe in them 100%. The
Baphoment coven shall restore some integrity to this dying scene.
OK, NOT ONTO EIBON. THAT'S ANOTHER SIDE PROJECT THAT YOU ARE DOING WITH
"ANTON", FENRIZ, BLASPHEMER, MANIAC & SATYR, RIGHT? THAT'S QUITE A
LINE-UP! HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THIS PROJECT, AND WHAT CAN WE LOOK FORWARD TO?
Ok, here is another exclusive..it will not be Anton Crowley for Eibon..it's Phil
Anselmo..and Blasphemer is busy with Mayhem, so he wont be a part of Eibon. I
would say that musically, it's gonna be very raw, not fast, but raw black metal,
and it has a Hellhammer influence..some songs are "Mirror Soul Jesus",
"Ceremony In Flames", "Dreams of the Dying Kind"...
I KNOW YOUR MAIN LOVE IS BLACK METAL, BUT DO YOU LISTEN TO ANY OTHER GENRE OF
METAL? WHO ARE SOME OF THE BEST ACTS RIGHT NOW IN YOUR OPINION?
I love old Slayer, Dark Angel, Motorhead, Plasmatics, Black Flag,
Autopsy...Black Sabbath are Gods.
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN THE INSPIRATION FOR SOME OF
TODAY'S BIGGEST DEATH AND BLACK METAL BANDS, NOT TO MENTION BEING LABELED AS THE
FOREFATHER OF DEATH & GORE?
I honestly never look at things like that...I'm glad we have inspired some
people..that's all I can say regarding that.
DO YOU THINK THAT GORE LYRICS ARE BECOMING TRENDY IN THE CURRENT DEATH METAL
SCENE? DO YOU THINK IT'S TURNING INTO A CONTEST AS TO "WHO CAN BE THE
SICKEST"?
Sure, it's been driven into the ground a million times over...I'm not concerned
about it..it's what I love to write about and I think lyrically I still give
things a very original twist..never just gross for the sake of it..compplete
horror stories if you look closely.
WHEN WILL NECROPHAGIA START TO PLAY SOME U.S. SHOWS? WILL YOU HAVE ANY
THEATRICS OR HORROR MOVIES RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND OR ANYTHING COOL LIKE THAT?
I'm not sure. We are so busy with different things..that's one of the reasons we
did the video..but when we do play out there will be some theatrics..not chessy
stuff..but corpses, movie screens, blood, fog..pentagram lasers, etc..we have
some cool stuff planned.
I'VE READ THAT YOU & "ANTON" ARE VERY INTERESTED IN THE
SUPERNATUREAL, AND ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW EXPERIENCES? WHAT IS THE SCARIEST
THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO YOU TWO? ANYTHING FUNNY EVER HAPPEN? RIGHT NOW, THE BIG
RAGE IS THE "BLAIR WITCH PROJECT" MOVIE. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THAT
FLICK? DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THEATRE WORKERS COMPLAINING BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE
ACTUALLY PUKING WHILE WATCHING THE MOVIE?? (WOULD THAT BE CONSIDERED "BLACK
BLOOD VOMIT"?)
Haha, yeah, we are very much into the supernatural..he just bought a new house
with woods..so we trek through them at dark..stuff like that..we just are very
much into horror and the element of fear..nothing really strange has happened,
hopefully some day.
ONE MORE QUESTION...WHEN WILL THE TRUE IDENTITY OF "ANTON" BE
REVEALED? EVERYONE KNOWS WHO IT IS BY NOW!
Yea, a lot of people know who he is, but it's not us trying to hide it...it's
all legal mumbo jumbo..it's using his name that's the problem..hopefully in the
near future that will change.
ALRIGHT KILLJOY, I THANK YOU IMMENSELY FOR ACTUALLY ASKING LITTLE OL' ME TO
DO THIS INTERVIEW! YOU ARE THE KING OF GORE, AND I BOW TO YOU! ANYTHING ELSE YOU
WOULD LIKE TO SAY?
Thank you for all the help and support you gals have given us..you and Jenn are
great for the underground...sorry, I don't mean to leave out your other editor,
but I don't know her...anyways, keep up the great work and I'll see you
around...GORE FOREVER http://www.necrophagia.com
