First i want to start off by thanking you for taking the time to do this interview. It is very much appreciated.
1)Teratism started in 2001.Would you say that the band has achieved everything you could have hoped for when you formed almost 8 years ago?
I generally don't think about that too much. I still feel as if it's day one and we have a lot more to experience and achieve. I know that for Vomitus Wrath and myself it has been a struggle to work within certain constraints to accomplish our endeavours.
2)You guys have been pretty consistent in your releases. Do you find it challenging to keep up with the high standards you must have when composing material?
Not really. We have a strong vision of what we want to achieve. There are no boundaries to what we will subject ourselves to ascertain our vision.
3)How important to you is the message in black metal. Do you think music can not be called black metal if the lyrical content is not about satan,or is black metal more a style of music then anything?
It MUST be about Satan, period. For us the music and our ritual magic is one and the same. Why not sacrifice a lamb when recording an homage to Satan?
4)The image you portray onstage with the ritual robes and especially your upside down cross made of animal bones.What is your purpose for this and what are you ultimately trying to portray to your audience in a live setting?
Again, we are devout Satanists. All we do is in accordance with his will and design.
5)So you have recently just finished a nice little tour.How did it go for you as a band and was it considered a success?
I would consider it a success considering the difficulties involved with touring in the underground. I would do it all again tomorrow if possible.
6)So the new album Pure Unadulterated Hate has been out now for a little bit.How has the response been?
I have no idea. Really.
7)Did you guys do anything different with this album. Do you feel it is a natural progression from the blessing of death?
We experimented with E.V.P.(Electronic Voice Phenomenon) techniques. Broke into an undisclosed private cemetery to capture vocals, locked Vomitus Wrath in an isolation chamber with various sigils and other ritualistic materials and recorded his dementia, Encoded aural spells and symbols in the mixing process, Recorded all instruments under ritual trance and exposed ourselves to various physical and mental torture techniques. I think that we have clearly digressed for the better from the Blessing of Death album. The uglier and more foul it is the better.
8)Now getting into a more personal part of the interview.When in your life did you decide or choose the path in life you have taken?How serious are you about this choice?
I was 14, I am 34 now, when I started reading Nietzsche, Focault and other philosophers and various occult texts. I have always been drawn to the "Dark" you could say. So serious am I that I have devoted my life to HIM.
9)Alot of things have happened to you personally lately,you moved and you fucked up your knee really bad.For those who don't know,what is the prognosis and when will you be back at full strength?
Well I tore my ACL in my right knee and am undergoing arthroscopic surgery with auto graft. Meaning that they will remove a portion of my patella tendon and fashion that into a new portion of the ACL and reattach it. It will be six months until I am "normal." This happened on tour after our show in Portland and I finished the rest of the tour. It was 2 weeks ago when I finally went to my Doctor.
10)What does the future hold for you and the band?Will you guys be out touring more?Any chance you will make it to the east coast?
We have some things scheduled but nothing that I can comment on at the moment other than we will be in L.A. in October and we have some more recording planned.
11)When you aren't doing band stuff,which i am sure takes up alot of your time,what do you do for fun,what pay's the bills?
I rarely have any fun. I work in the largest Night Club in Minnesota.
12)Ok stupid question,you are stuck on an island and you can only bring one of the following
1)1 cd-Von-Satanic Blood.
2)1 personal item-Sig Sauer 9mm.
3)1 other person-Wife.
4) i food item-exchanged for 2 bullets.
13)Ok well thats the end of this interview,any final comments?
Pray Satan.....
