CADAVER INC.
This interview was conducted by SkullCrusher on 5/15/01 with Neddo (Anders Odden) guitarist and founder of CADAVER INC. Diehard death metallers will remember CADAVER from the early 90's-Anders was the original guitar player from CADAVER.
- SkullCrusher: SINCE YOU'VE JUST COMPLETED YOUR TOUR WITH MORBID ANGEL & ZYKLON, DO YOU HAVE ANY EXCITING STORIES TO TELL US ABOUT?
- Neddo: There's one thing that we managed to do- We had one day off in Hamburg, almost everyone in MORBID ANGEL and ZYKLON went to the Red Light Area/District. There we found a tiny little punk rock pub, where they sold really cheap beer and they didn't have any closing time. Everybody from both bands and crew, were there and we had this whole section of the club to ourselves, we spent the night getting to know each other, and partying, which was really cool. The best part was no one there really knew who we were.
-
- SkullCrusher: SO IT'S BEEN GOOD TO GET AWAY FROM THAT?
- Neddo: Yeah, totally.
-
- SkullCrusher: WHAT SONG DID YOU LIKE TO PLAY MOST LIVE?
- Neddo: *Kill Tech*
-
- SkullCrusher: WHY HAVE YOU CHANGED DIRECTION FROM DEATH METAL TO BLACK METAL?
- Neddo: When I started to like this music it was all US thrash metal, then death metal in the 90's. To me it just grew from there. To me I don't divide death and black metal that much. It's natural for me to play whatever comes into my mind.
-
- SkullCrusher: DO YOU FEEL DARKER NOW? WOULD THAT BE THE REASON FOR THE CHANGE OVER TO BLACK METAL?
- Neddo: Well, we have a drummer-Czral (ex-DIMMU BORGIR, AURA NOIR, DODHEIMSGARD)-very popular black metal bands, he can really play those blast beats which when you play that fast those kind of riffs just tend to happen.
-
- SkullCrusher: HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR NEW EFFORT *DISCIPLINE*?
- Neddo: It's been a long journey since *Extremely Violent*, we didn't want to be commercial. We wanted to make a record something that not everyoneis into but that people into this kind of music would be into.
-
- SkullCrusher: SO, WHEN YOU GUYS TOUR AMERICA WILL YOU BE TOURING WITH ZYKLON AND MAYBE MYRKSKOG?
- Neddo: We haven't really discussed what were going to do about the American tour, but I'd really like to tour with MORBID ANGEL in America ,so that would be the perfect thing.
-
- SkullCrusher: I'VE BEEN TO YOUR WEBSITE (http://www.cadaverinc.com). I LOVED IT. SORTA REMINDED ME OF A PART IN 'PULP FICTION'. WHERE DID THE IDEA FOR THAT COME FROM?
- Neddo: Good observastion. The idea came from all these businesses starting online *you can do anything on the net*-that's what everybody says. I was like ,well, if you can do anything on the net then this is the thing to do. We have a working phone number in the states-1-866-BODYBAG. We've had a few people call in, we have some good tapes about people who really didn't know about the band. We had this one girl call in and she wanted to have a girl disposed of so we called her up and she was jealous that this other girl fucked her boyfriend. She sounded very serious.
-
- SkullCrusher: WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ZYKLON'S DEBUT RELEASE *WORLD OF WORMS*?
- Neddo: It's probably very good, but I haven't really listened to them on disc. Lately, since we've been touring with them, I've been listening to all the songs live.
-
- SkullCrusher: WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR OLD FAVES?
- Neddo: CELTIC FROST, SLAYER, DESTRUCTION, and VOIVOD.
-
- SkullCrusher: THE FUTURE FOR CADAVER INC?
- Neddo: Hope to do an American tour, by the end of the year. Of course, start writing new material. We already have ideas and fragments of songs ready, but we were waiting to get a record deal.
-
- SkullCrusher: HOW MANY ALBUMS DIS YOU SIGN TO EARACHE FOR?
- Neddo: Three more albums.
-
- SkullCrusher: WHAT OTHER COUNTRIES WOULD YOU LIKE TO TOUR?
- Neddo: We'd like to play gigs in Russia, Finland, Hungary, expand into Poland. We're ready to tour anywhere. South America, Eastern Europe, the U.S.
