Before we begin we would like to know how are you guys doing nowadays their in Australia.

Started gigging it's going well. The new release is coming out soon. Exciting

Starting out in 2009 how has the journey been so far?

Going well, well I joined the band in 2012 but I am enjoying it anyways.

Back then as far as I know you were here in Nepal and played in local bands here in Nepal. You went Australia for further studies. How did you join 4 Dead In 5 Seconds?

I came here in 2009 January. I put on an advertisement on a website mentioning ''I am guitarist to form a metal'' band and guy name RICK replied me and ask me for a jam. I went to his house, he was a pro guitarist who had his own studio and I was blown away after seeing his playing. I played some lamb of god, as I lay dying etc and stuffs and he was keen to start a band.  We jammed for like 1 month and he even taught me his compositions....we then started to look for a drummer and bassist ,we found them and started jamming was the guitarist of that band it was named “NOT TO FEAR”. We played together for like 3 years and at one point our drummer said” he is going to mines for work "and he wanted to have a break with music. We all decided that it’s alright. We would wait for you and keep moving on our own life. One day I went down to pub to see my friend’s band playing at beer garden and saw 4 dead in 5 seconds. Funny thing "Carrick and I met before in 2010 when I was in that pub” They played a show, the show went awesome. I was sitting on a table and Carrick comes to me saying 'we met before here' and I finally remembered. The other day I got a message saying their bassist quit and they want my help to continue this band. I was not doing anything with my other band and I was a guitarist so it was not sure if I could enjoy playing bass but i said would definitely see and have a jam. This is what I told. Actually Carrick messaged me to join 4 dead after seeing my cover videos on my YouTube channel. I did few metal covers that time and we had a jam and also I kind of liked their genre and the whole band and then I said yes. Well, that’s the story.

Coming to the band name 4 dead In 5 Seconds. What does it mean? I mean how did the name came?

Actually Blake was reading through the magazine or book and he found this title. It’s a true incident that happened in like 1980 in U.S.A. A guy killed 4 people in a farm with his gun. You can read the whole thing if u Google it too.... It’s real story and we got that name from there

Interesting for sure going to go through it, Suman you left Nepal at the time when the scene has just started to get a bit systematic to a country that has quite a healthy metal scene how was your experience can you tell us your 1st Australian gig experience?

When I played a show in Nepal it was kind of rookie what i mean is not that good equipments and unprofessional .I learned a lot over here after joining some international bands like NOT to FEAR and 4 DEAD IN 5 SECONDS.... Of course the sound is always great with good equipment's and i was amazed to see the positive response of the crowd and everyone cheering and supporting the band. Good vibes all around...i see true metal heads over here every gig we play. Not someone who just pretends to be metal head, i get to see good amps and guitar after i got here. Nepal ma amp haru thiyena ramro, aile chai cha Nepal ma pani.

Now coming beyond the band can you tell us about how your journey in music began?

So my story is kind of funny hehe . I never thought that i am going to be in a band, musician. I was so good in studies and one day school ko parents day ma i was in grade 7.... Vice principal announced class 10 ko dai ko name "kuber come on stage to play guitar” he walked in and everyone clapped their hand. I felt like i wish if i could play guitar and be on stage and since then i was kind of like i wanted to learn it and be on stage. After that ghar tira euta uncle hoisinthyo he used to play Nepali pop songs and sing along. He was so good on singing too and i started watching him playing and but didn’t bother to touch guitar. Days went by and i started liking guitar and one day my big brother brought guitar from his friends home and he started learning basic chords and taught me too. From that day i was addicted to learn chords and everything, ani i used to find a way where i can touch guitar and learn. 9 class ma huda i learned basic guitar. Ghar side ma there was a pool house and i used to go there every day just to play guitar and khatra khatra guitarist Dai haru authyo. I used to ask them too tesari nai sikey guitar haru.  Pachi College join garnu agi band form garney plan bhayo. Rock band ma ni bajaye ...NORBU was my idol in Nepal. We started a band together, played few shows together as well. My first concert of my life was M.A.V.A MELA, Sathdobato ma...Mahendra Adarsha ma hunthyo dashain tihar ko bich ma. We used to cover Guns n Roses. Total rock band. So time pass hudai gayo , ek din hamro singer betrayed me, money matter ma so quit the band. Drummer ma ani bassist we decided to form metal punk kind of band. Hami chai milthyom ghar pani sangai sangai thyo. We decided to form a new band,we named it 'IDIOSYNCRASY'. We used to cover system of down and alternative bands. We went to inter-college band competition 2008 . We went as punk band and got 1st runner up and best composition in that competition. We became famous after that...6 months ma we got bit of name fame. After that, mero Australia processing bhairako thyo ani after 6 months ma yeta aye 2009 ma. Still i am in touch with them....Nepal ayera i want to record those songs. Ani music video nikalchau hola. Social message cha song ma. We all are like best friends, so i want to continue one day for sure.....This time we will be kind of heavy and different.

For sure man it will be .Again coming to 4DI5S. It’s the 1st Aussy band to tour Nepal. Along with that I want to add you are the 1st Nepali to tour Nepal as a member of a foreign band and play in the biggest and loudest metal fest in Nepal. Trust me; whole nation is proud of you.

It’s all due to support and loves from you guys. I will let this pride up always wherever i play NEPAL forever.

How was your experience playing in front of home crowd? During your Nepal tour you guys toured Butwal, Pokhara and finally at Silence fest III. As you had played with many of the Nepalese band in old days how was Blake, Carrick, Jayden and Scotty's reaction performing here?

Geordie is our new drummer. That was Scotty. They just got surprised and still it’s our best show we have ever played. In short one of the best experiences in our life and coming back to hometown play a show. It just felt good and I felt like I did it... I am so proud of what I did and what I am doing for future and family too, Living the dream.

For Sure man. Apart from 4DI5S what do you guys do?

We work as well. Everyone is busy making money too as u know we wont make money of music unless we are so big and got some record label contract .But we see each other and have band jam ,talks every week . It’s Part of our work too.

Yeah in 2012 you guys launched your EP 'CURSES' and recently a few months back you guys went to Tilburg Netherlands to record your upcoming EP BESTIARY"THE BOOK OF BEAST" tell us about this upcoming EP.

In 2012 we just released single "reanimate". Curses was released in 2011 i think the new EP will be of total heaviness and different for you all this time. We went with more variation this time as compared to last releases clean section, guitar solos and breakdowns. Its perfect match this time .You will feel it yourself how awesome it is when u hear this new songs.

Talking about Reanimate this is 4DI5S hit num here in Nepal. As far as i know your upcoming EP is produced by Bart Hennephof from Texture at his studio. Can you say about the possibility of when it’s going to launch?

Maybe End of May. If not, June for sure. We are releasing a lyric video of new song first before whole EP. That new song will blow u up first and then EP will be out.

We hope for that. Almost at the end any message to fans?

We will love to come to Nepal soon hopefully mid next year we will see u all again, stay heavy stay brutal, keep supporting , sharing and respect music ..Thanks for all the love and support you guys are giving to us. It encourages us to write and play music more everyday.

Lastly a space for you if we SNRMB team have forgotten to ask. You can ask us here?

That should be all

Thank you!! Suman.

No worries yaar

Interview with Binaash's frontman Prabin Shrestha

I guess i don't have to speak much about Binaash. Binaash is a Death metal band from Kathmandu Nepal. Formed by the members of the legendary acts like &2 hrs, Arachnids  and as well as from Ugrakarma, Binaash is one of the Premium Death Metal act from Nepal.

For more info you can go through their page.

https://www.facebook.com/binaashband

Greetings!! Prabin, before we begin we would like to know what are you guys doing these days.

Well the band is currently taking a break, all the members are busy doing there working stuff.

Yeah, If i am not wrong then band is on rest since the workshop..

Yes, that’s true.

Formed in November 2009 Binaash how has the journey been so far?

It’s pretty good, the only problem we are having is getting a good and stable drummer i guess.

Yeah we can see it since Rishav left in 2012 the drummers have been changed. Jay ram for his further studies in drums and Surya abroad for study. Prabin Dai there’s one thing that amuses me in your genre "Ramailo Death Metal" What does it mean? Cause there is a belief that death metal is just for aggression.

Death Metal is sure an aggressive genre of music. We are not trying to say that we are moving from aggression to comedy. We just named the genre Ramailo death metal just because we feel Ramailo (fun) while jamming and composing the lyrics. We just want our friends to have fun, not just with the brutal aggression like starring to eat u alive. Yeah that’s it..

Now coming beyond Binaash Dai we will like to know how your journey in metal music begun?

Back then when i was in class 8, I used to listen an F.M program named Metallic mantra while doing my homework the channel was HBC. The Rj also used to growl and that’s what stroked me! Yeah! This is fucking great show. I really missed the show. I used to write the name of the band name in my school copy so that i could get the tape and cd of that band in mahaboudha or any other store. And i started to growl every where when I’m feel like growling. Yeah, i forgot to mention the program came at 10pm every Thursday night.

If i am not wrong your 1st band was Arachnids and Aghori is one of my favorite tracks from Arachnids. Arachnids to Binaash. How has the journey been?

Arachnids was the beginning step in metal for me. Playing with Arachnids band was like experimenting my self searching for my capacity. While with Binaash it’s not a big difference I’m doing death metal but this time it’s more brutal. But I’m still trying to search my self again.

Gore consumption, Bancharo, Gravitational imbalance are some of my favorite tracks from Binaash. Dai you guys stared stage with the grindcore giants NAPALM DEATH on DOF as well as played in Silence Fest I how was the experience can you share with us?

It was really good.

Coming beyond Binaash what are you hearing nowadays?

Narsamhaar GENOCIDE EUPHORIA album, Albatross new album ma ra malai. Huun huur tu Best live and 60 Horses in my head. Mad Season ani Death Live in L.A.(Death & Raw)

Yeah for sure GENOCIDE EUPHORIA and MA RA MALAI are some of the finest album produced this year. Dai can you tell us how soon Binaash is going to play live cause many fans are waiting for some Binaashkaari set. As far as i have heard you guys found a drummer for Binaash. Is that true or just a rumor cause once even there was a rumor for audition for a drummer?

Right now we all members are busy in our work stuff. We are planning to do workshop gig again. For drummer we are not fixed yet.

Binaash is known as the biggest death metal giant from Nepal and many bands currently formed takes you guys as a source of inspiration. How does it feel when many bands give tribute to you guys playing your tracks in gigs?

Binaash is a simple Death Metal band. People adore us just because they love the kind of music we play. We are very greatful that we influenced many band, Its a chain we are also influenced by many Old and new bands. Talking about covering our song by other band it feels we are skipping our place to their and visualizing the fun part.

For sure Dai, Any message to the fans cause all of us the Binaashkaari families are waiting for hearing you all live?

We will be back soon. We too miss you Binaashkaari people. /,,/

Dai apart from Binaash what do you guys do. Talking about Sashank Dai he is our college faculty. What about you Prateek Dai and Bijent?

I work as Freelancer artist, Prateek Dai works in Growth Leadership Academy. Bijent is a total musical guy plays bass in Joint Family.

Almost at the end Dai any message to Binaashkaari fans out there?

I hear Rumor that Binaash has disbanded, not active anymore. Prateek Dai have left the band bla bla bla thing that’s a fake crap thing spread by non Binaashkaari posers. We will be live soon with new original songs. Jai Metal!!

For sure Dai rumors should always be taken in humor no matter how hard we try to do best some one is always there to create problems. I don’t want to end but it must end. A space for you to ask anything if we have forgotten to ask you can ask here.

Haha!! Nothing more brother.

Thank you Dai

Enmachined a thrash metal band from Bangladesh

SNRMB Interview with Imtiaz Ahmed Anil (Enmachined) 

BY: Nabil Abaddon

Before we proceed we will like to thank our fellow mate Nabil Abaddon (G.M.A zine contributor) for helping us by interviewing Enmachined. TO know much about them you can go through there page in Facebook..

https://www.facebook.com/enmachined

Abaddon: Hey Anil! Welcome to SNRMB. How is it going with Enmachined? 

Anil: It’s going fine brother. We are currently working on our next release and will probably go to the recording studio real soon. 

Abaddon: Before we start off on a full swing, would you like to tell our readers about how Enmachined was formed and how the name came about?

Anil: Enmachined was formed in the early days of 2011. Some of us had played in different bands before, but Enmachined sounded real deal haha! As for the naming of the group, we are big fan of old school science fiction movies. Our vocalist Abir came up with the name. We felt that it fits perfectly with our essence of music, and so we decided to keep it. That’s the story behind the band name.

Abaddon: You guys released a demo called “Thrash Assault” last year via Salute Records, Sweden. How have been the public response and reviews so far?

Anil: It’s been immense! I never expected that we would get reviewed by zines from Asia, Europe, and South America and even from North American regions. I am definitely amazed. It’s great that metal heads worldwide appreciate our music, and that means a lot for us. 

Abaddon: Well Anil we would very much like to know about the scene in Bangladesh. Hows it over there?

Anil: Metal music in our country had ups and downs in the past but slowly now it is growing and becoming stronger day by day. We have a lot of killer Bands now here, each with their unique approach, and the metal fan base is growing and becoming much rowdier as we speak, haha. The number of quality shows has definitely increased and this is a good sign. Even metal shows are now being held in the regional districts of our country. 

Abaddon: Is it very tough to do this sort of music which is considered a pain in the ears by the society? Can anybody live solely on music in Bangladesh?

Anil: We all live in a democratic nation, so it’s not that tough actually. As for the later inquiry, it’s not possible for a musician to live solely on music in our country. This is due to the lack of concerts and the small crowd attendance in gigs, but this situation is sure to change in the near future.

Abaddon: Coming back to the band, Enmachined has not appeared much on stage in last 1 year. What’s going on with you chaps?

Anil: As I have said earlier, we are now busy working on our songs, so we took a pause in playing in live gigs for some time. If we can make the time in this schedule, definitely we will play live. Though we did a gig in Khulna city in February and the response was massive.

Abaddon: I personally find the song “Loggerhead” very much “bone crushing”(As Enmachined’s tagline goes by haha). The demo comprised of 3 songs, right? How long did it take to make these three songs? And why a demo, why not an EP?

Anil: Yes brother the demo consist these 3 songs, “Loggerhead”, “Thrash Assault” and “Piranha” respectively. It took three months for us to complete the demo. Actually we did not have much time and technical efficiency for a studio release, so that had to be a demo to be our first release.

Abaddon: Tell me brother, how did you get into Metal music? And who do you take your influences or inspirations from?

Anil: When I was a little kid, my elder brother used to play guitar and blast Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Metallica in the car and in his cd player. I remember Hallowed Be Thy Name was the first ever metal song that I heard and the intro of the song really got me into metal. My elder brother had a very vital role in getting me into metal.

Abaddon: How long have you been playing guitar?

Anil: Well, as I said my elder brother used to play guitar and I always used to stay around him when he was practicing or covering a song. One day he handed over the guitar to me and taught me a few tunes. I guess it was in 1997 when I first learned to play some tunes from some movies. I used to play those tunes around my family members and used to amaze them. Then my father bought me my first guitar in 2001 and since then I learned to play chords all by myself and took guitar playing more seriously.

Abaddon: Well, Enmachined is going to be a part of this online compilation album called Raktapyas II- Glory of Death along with Nervecell, Hellwitch, Gehennah, Ugrakarma, Binaash, Dying Out Flame, Homicide, Abominable Carnivore etc. What do you have to say about that?

Anil: We are excited to be a part of this online compilation, many killer bands are in this compilation, and we will be glad to share the stage with them as well. 

Abaddon: So we are almost at the end of the interview. Would you like to tell us what’s in the future plans of Enmachined? Any EP or full length, overseas tours, and when is the next gig Enmachined going to perform?

Anil: Actually we have a lot of tasks in hand, as you know already; we are working on our songs now. An overseas tour sounds killer. And as for next gig we are going to play live at East Bengal Onslaught in Dhaka, it’s going to be on the 26th of April.

Abaddon: Brother it was wonderful talking with you. Thank you so much for giving us your time. Much appreciated any last words for the fans and followers? The space is all yours…

Anil: Keep listening to metal; never give in to any trend because ultimately we will all prevail, haha. Hails!

Interview with Paul Mcguire from Cerebral Bore

"I would define Cerebral Bore as the hardest working underground band in the world. At least, that’s what we are trying to be. Remember us for that at least!"

                                                                                                           -Paul Mcguire

Well i guess i don't have to say much about "Cerebral Bore". Formed in 2006 the band is from Glasgow, Scotland Formed by Paul and Allan and they are the only the 2 founding members in the band now. We had an exclusive talk with Paul. Just a few days back CEREBRAL BORE played at Neurotic Death fest in Tilburg. While talking with Paul my respect for him just grew .

To know much about the band Cerebral Bore you can follow them in the following sites...

http://www.cerebralbore.bigcartel.com

Greetings Paul!! Before we begin we will like to know how things are going back there in Scotland.

Things in Scotland are quite OK. Boring as always, which is my main inspiration to go and tour. So it is reliably the same right now.

Formed in 2006 in Glasgow how has Cerebral Bore's Journey been?

Well, long and tough to say the least, but also with a very chartable progress. The more we toured, the more we learned. But we realized soon that we would need a good record label behind us to fulfill what our ambitions had become, so we signed a deal with Earache records in 2010

Since then nothing has become any easier, just a little more focused with a better idea of the things we want to aim to achieve.

Talking about the bands Name "Cerebral Bore" what does it really mean?

It means to drill into a head, or something. It is from a video game called Turok, it wasn’t my choice, but i am forever stuck with it.

Trust me bruh name doesn’t matter it’s that impact of your music that has ripped us all. Coming to the initial days the band was formed in 2006 Until July 2010 you did vocals before Som joined the band. Am i correct about that?

That is bang wrong. I have never done vocals for the band, although i may try one day.

We wish for that. Actually i was a bit confused cause as far as i know the band didn’t have a fixed lineup until them. Paul tell us how would you define Cerebral bore?

Yes we did, but we went through a few vocalists looking for the right one. I would define Cerebral Bore as the hardest working underground band in the world. At least, that’s what we are trying to be. Remember us for that at least!

That’s for sure. Personally we were shocked when we heard that Som and Kyle left the band and for time being felt that the band was about to end. Since you and Allan are the only founding members how hard was it to work with new members as it is almost like starting from the scratch..

Well Kyle was asked to leave and Som left on her own as i am sure you know. It is always hard to fill a member slot, and it’s something i didn't start doing for quite a while as it’s a very stressful and demanding process with a lot of chance of risks involved. But it’s not like starting from scratch, i still remember those days, and even if we replaced those members with a carrot and a washing machine, it still wouldn’t be as much of a struggle as the early days.

Paul talking about early days tell us how your journey in metal music began?

Just the usual story, By the time i was 10 i already listened to metal like Pantera, White Zombie, Slayer etc, At the same time i had Cannibal Corpse and some tapes of Deicide , but i didn’t really take a strong interest in death metal for another few years.

The first album i bought on vinyl was eaten back to life by Cannibal Corpse, and my first CD purchase was Iron maidens Number of the beast.

Paul can you tell us what are you listening nowadays (Any genre)

These days i am mostly listening to death metal, to keep my self in the writing frame of mind for cerebral bore. But in actual fact, i don’t get a lot of time to listen to music in general.

Coming back to the band .Being a young band you've toured quite often. Formed in early 2006, you guys released your 1st demo THE DEAD FLESH ARCHITECT. Did your 1st tour beyond U.K in Aug 2007. How was the reaction of the crowds back there in US and as well as that i how was your reaction.

We were hit with our first ever real problems as a band, when our vocalist left the band a few weeks before the first trip to the USA, so we were more focused on not sounding like total crap with a stand in vocalist, rather than looking really awesome. But we made a lot of friends on that first trip outside the UK, whom we still hold as close friends now 7 years on. The tour was riddled with problems like cancelled or un-booked shows, but it taught us more than we have probably ever learned from any other single experience, and made me realize that if we could over come this, we could still be in with a chance of full filling our ambitions... But there were also amazing things that came from that "tour", like my friend Anthony calling my bluff, and bringing his buddy, and a hero of mine, Pete Steele (Type O Negative/Carnivore) along to the show to hang out, and getting to visit the US office of our future label, Earache Records. So there were silver linings that stand out way more in my memory than any of the negatives.

Can you tell us which band influences Cerebral Bore’s music?

It’s hard to say which bands consistently have influenced us, but bands like Cannibal Corpse, Spawn of Possession, and Decapitated were the big ones for me, probably a little dying fetus and another big one was the UK band Gorerotted.

And even a little before that, the Scottish band Regorge. My interest in that band led to my interest in the band Gorerotted, whom i would say i listened to as much as anything else at the time of writing our first songs

You guys have a quite healthy metal scene back there in the United Kingdom. I want to ask you there is a misconceptions regarding how band works when it comes to money. Is it still a struggle to devote enough time to music and as well as to manage to keep your jobs?

Yes absolutely, depending on how the band is set up and who pays for what expenses. When it comes to Cerebral Bore, i take most of the financial burden if there is any kind of loss to be made, its not that i can afford to do this, but i realized the strain that finances can cause on a band who are dealing with so much money turning over in their name. I work within the industry mostly, so it suits exactly what i need to do on the business side of Cerebral Bore and without it, I would never have learned the things i have learned that has made a possibility for me.

So if i am not wrong you are also in the management team of this year’s Summer Slaughter Tour?

Yes, I am managing a tour for the band decrepit birth, and i am also the stage manager for Dying Fetus.

I was not sure about it found out about it while going through your page. Talking about the summer Slaughter tour 2012(July 20 -Aug 25) Cerebral Bore also played that time how was the experience.

The experience was amazing. Getting to play summer slaughter at any point would be amazing, but doing it the same year as Cannibal Corpse was life changing. It was the most demanding tour we have done, and the same applies to any band doing that tour, with the sheer amount of bands and people sharing the same space every day. But it was amazing for sure, and something i would do a million times over if i had the chance

For sure man we will love to see you guys again on road. As far as my knowledge you guys Played in Hammer fest back in 2012 played in Neurotic Death fest in Tilburg and many more such phenomenal gigs and tours. Any new tour updates of Cerebral Bore?

We just played Neurotic Death fest last weekend for the 4th time since 2010, which was the last date of our European tour with Despised Icon. We have a US tour coming up in September, as well as some more European shows around the same time. But right now we are also working on South American and an Asian tour for early 2015

We will love to to hear that Cerebral Bore Tours get fixed for Nepal as well in upcoming days. Talking about the bands release, 1 full length 1 E.P and 2 demos/single has been released. Can we expect the next release soon?

Yes we have a new album written and ready to record hopefully in the next month. Then we will have some new music videos and stuff to check out/ hopefully we can make it to Nepal, we are definitely available and willing to travel there. We were booked in Darjeeling, India in 2011 so it’s not impossible.

Yep i am aware of the Darjeeling shows cancellation there were some problems that time which we all are aware of. Coming to the album Paul can you say us something about the New Upcoming album?

There isn’t a lot i can tell right now, other than that we have booked some studio time with Chris Fielding who produced our last album. The album will be out at some point this year on Earache Records.

For sure Chris Fielding is on e good producer and we are familiar with his work from your last album. Coming to your genre, BRUTAL DEATH Metal, it has always been associated with misogyny due to the lyrics the imaginary and of course songs title and the lyrics are considered way too vulgar.

A perfect example

Fisted Cripples... An old Cerebral Bore song title from the first EP

The act of putting a clenched fist up the rectum of a disabled person

Like i wanted to know your song writing process?

Last time the songs came more out of jamming and coming up with little pieces at a time, but this time round has been more based on myself writing the songs alone. We have busy personal lives, and this way has kind of worked out to be the most productive so far

So Paul we are almost at the end now we will like you to share anything to the upcoming bands and as well as Cerebral Bore fans out here in Nepal as well as to our readers?

We promise to deliver some new tunes really soon, and we appreciate all the support that we have been shown up until now and going forward. It really still means as much to us as the day we started, and our touring record will come to the surface again once we have the new album ready to go. And to the upcoming bands, i hope we can share a stage together some day, it will always be a pleasure!

I still want to carry on but must end now. Lastly a space for you to ask if we SNRMB team forgot to ask? Please feel free to ask.

I don’t think so man; i think you covered everything essential.

Thank you Paul, for your time .

My pleasure man

Alessio before we begin we will like to know how the preparation is going on for the world tour with Hobbs Angel of Death. If I am not wrong, you guys are on tour on 1st week of June. Can you tell us something about the tour with Peter?

 We will be on tour with Hobbs Angel of Death from June to October 2014, we have around 15 gigs in Europe i.e in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Serbia and many more places also including USA, Canada and South America. This Is the second tour we will do with Peter Hobbs, the last was in Christmas in Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Germany and Italy. Now we are in the official Hobbs Angel of Death lineup, and will enter the studio for release the new album in that period of the tour. Three or Four members of Violentor play going to play with Hobbs.

We wish you and Peter a warm wishes for the world tour as well as to the entire H A D team for the world tour. Keeping aside the talk of Hobbs angel of death .We will like to know a bit more about VIOLENTOR from early 2012, how has been the journey?

With Violentor its cool, I formed the band few years ago with my best friends, united to the same passion for the old school metal and the first raw punk attitude.

Rot, the bass player has been playing since the start with me in the lineup, we changed a couple of members in the years and now we have a great lineup, good friends and a lethal dose of passion necessary for do a good work.

In these years we have released 2 studio album and stayed around for gigs.

VIOLENTOR how did you guys come with that name?

We need something Violent, thus we choose Violentor...:)

Personally I haven’t heard much of the Italian bands and I am a bit aware of the scene back their in Italy. Can you say us in brief about the scene back there?

The Italian scene is really active and good, we have a lot of good bands and a lot of concerts, the only problem is we don't have a good connection and a network outside, but this is our problem that occurs in times.

Recently in Feb VIOLENTOR had a tour with the Swedish act TURBOCHARGED tell us how was the tour?

NOOO!!! We played only a couple of gigs here in Italy as in support with them, I was around with Turbocharged because I did their tour managing for that tour.

I had gone through the videos that Ronnie published in his account seems like you guys had an awesome time on the road?

Yes,it was great and crazy at the same time, Turbocharged guys and me are great friends.

They are super!!

So Alessio can you tell us about your journey in the metal scene. We will like to know about your journey as well as that with VIOLENTOR?

Underground metal scene, is better :)

It's my passion and it's my work too, I can't live without music. Is not simple to be on top,We must do it with passion and spend a lot of time around your project,Be humble and know your own limits and be realistic.

Apart from VIOLENTOR and Hobbes you are also involved in ETRURIAN LEGION PROMOTION . How it like is involved in 2 bands as well as working in a promotion agency?

I'm on it 12-14 hours at days, sometimes more too! But Etrurian Legion is my work and Violentor and Hobbs Angel of Death is only for passion which is for relaxing myself.

So as far as my idea you guys are having a gig on 5th of april can you say us about the gig?

Is really great, it was a little fest with all friends' bands and friends' supporters. What can I say...everything was alcohol, metal and noise!

Talking about your album in 2012 probably in september you guys released Rot . Can you say us about the album. We can even see that you guys haven’t released your new tracks recently. Is it due to your tight schedule with Hobbs?

Yes we released Rot in the first months of 2012,The record is not that bad but it was composed really fast following with our pure instinct. But this is the Violentor nature, I like this album but I don't want give any judgments, only the supporters must do it! Hobbs Angel of Death is another project that we are involved in, we are really proud to be a part of the lineup; we are huge Hobbs fans from a long time.

So, apart from the gig that happened recently with Axecutor, any updates of future gigs and projects?

We have the last Violentor gig today (09-may) with Bulgarian brothers Axecutor, Sofisticator and Reactory. We will stop for a couple of months with Violentor gigs for starting with new Hobbs Angel of Death tour and the recording session of the new thrash metal legend album. We have started to work on new Violentor songs and finish it with some parts to compose it at the end of this year. 

So we are almost at the end any message to the bands I guess you have a way lot to say especially to the upcoming thrash metal band. I am pretty sure your experience will be a source of inspiration to many guys out here. Can you share some of your experience?

As I said everyone must be humble and do what is like without any compromises.

Lastly a space for you to ask if we SNRMB team has forgotten to ask Feel free to ask here?

Thank you very much for your support, I hope to visit your country really soon with my bands and make some noise with all you guys!

Thank you Alessio!! For your time.

Interview with Stoycho (Blasphemer Panzer) from Axecutor Bulgarian Speed Thrash Metal band

Axecutor is a Speed Thrash metal band from Sofia, Bulgaria. Formed in the early 2010 the band has shared stage with Legendary Australian thrash metal bands like Hobbs Angel Of Death ,Turbocharged and many more. Recently they are having there Europe tour (EXTERMINATION TOUR) and today is the last day of there tour . We had a short talk with Stoycho there frontman last month. 

To know much about Axecutor you can go through there Facebook page..

https://www.facebook.com/axecutor.official

Before we begin, we will like to know how you are guys these days.

Everything is good; we had a gig yesterday in Sofia. It was killer! There were some broken heads in mosh, even the public got crazy... Well we are preparing for the European Tour this May.

Well that is pretty amazing to know. Before we proceed we will like to know a bit more about the Bulgarian Metal Scene In your Perspective?

As all of them are in a good level from underground to commercial shits, the true underground is not so big. We are around 10 -15 bands, we play thrash, black and death, but we do support each other very much. We have serious support from fans too and I would say everything is how it must be - raw in a little circle, but only from real metal heads.

Well that’s a real good thing that there is a mutual helping and support to each other whether the scene is big or small that’s the thing which counts and matters. So guys can you tell us about how you’re Journey as AXECUTOR begin?

The band was formed like a cover project band form Tormentor and Enforcer in 2010 with not much ambition to be a serious band, but time went by gigs after gigs the people started liked the band more and more with the covers of Troops of Doom /Sepultura/, Sign of Evil /Violent Force/, Countess Bathory /Venom/ etc. Later the other songs had been done “Speed Metal Assault” and “Trace of Torment”. The people got insane in every gigs and it was the same time I was playing on bass in another thrash band and I could see Axecutor’s experience. Year later I left my first band, and in the mean time Axecutor was looking for a singer. I joined the band, it was a bit of story, but the real thing what gathered us is the metal that we worship, the metal from ‘80s!

Stoycho you guys have been thrashing since 2010. Recently you guys were a part of tour with VIOLENTOR and TURBOCHARGED in Feb how the gig was.

Actually we played with Turbocharged in Sofia this Feb and we were in support with two gigs of Hobbs’ Angel of Death in Sofia and Bucharest/Romania. Everything was excellent, the brotherhood was on the stage again and we burned the towns that winter. I will never forget those great moments together, both the trip and the gigs. The guys from the bands are really great, total metal heads and good friends. I would say we are a family.

A few days back I was going through your tracks and I found influence of Venom, Megadeath it seems like you guys music are inspired by them?

We are totally possessed by 80's metal. Yes, Venom, Bathory, Sodom, Violent Force, Sepultura (old), Possessed, Running Wild (old), Kreator (old) etc. This is the real spirit!

Can we know the recent lineup and we will also like to know what do you guys do beside AXECUTOR?

Since 2010 the band has had some changes. Now the band looks total ugly with me on the microphone, Tormentor – bass, Witcher – guitar, Enforcer – guitar and Vidas – drums. I work like digital artist in a cinema company in the other time I am just a drinker, Tormentor works in the company for vegetables and fruits, Witcher is electric technical instructor, Enforcer is a cook master – chef and Vidas is a bodybuilder.

Coming to your recent upcoming tour (EXTERMINATION TOUR) you guys are on Europe tour from 6th of May until 17th May. Can you say us more about the tour and the possible venues beside Croatia and Italy?

Well we are waiting for some dates in Slovenia and Hungary to be confirmed. At the moment we will have one in Croatia, three in Italy and three in Romania. Here, I want to say 'thank you brothers from Brotherhood Metal Club Florence and Romanian Thrash Metal Club for the support!' Alessio from Violentor invited us in Italy and this is how the tour has started like an idea.

As far as I have heard you guys are planning for a full length album and probably hitting studio by the end of 2014. Can you say us more about it?

That’s right, we have 4 new songs, We played one of them in the last gig. We are also planning on a video clip, but the record will start after the tour, maybe in the end of Summer.

So Stoycho apart from AXECUTOR are you guys involved in any other projects?

I had an invitation from Plamen Uzunov a good friend of mine, from the power/prog band Project Arcadia to sing on a song. He wants to play thrash sometimes; I do support his project with the lyrics and vocals. The project is called Evilator. You can check it out!

Now let’s refresh some old memories. So guys tell us how your journey in metal music begin .We will like to know your source of inspiration who drove you guys in this genre of music?

Well, I am a metalhead since 1993. In Bulgaria the metal music was forbidden from the communist system before 1989, but after the change, the end of the 80's and the beginning of 90's the East Europe and Bulgaria was a fucking metal revolution. Here in this place to be metalhead means a point of view, means a position against the system. My home town was full of metalheads with denim, spikes, leather jacket etc. They gave some tapes and when I listed for first time “The evil that men do”, the speed metal from first albums of Blind Guardian, Mercyful Fate, Sodom that changed my life.

So we will like to ask you guys what are you all listening nowadays well it can be of any genres?

At the moment I am at work and listening Mandator “Initial Velocity” in my headphones, just a killer speed metal from Netherlands. I usually listen the early 80's hard and heavy to brutal death metal. My choice depends from what is my emotional condition is at the moment. The last months I listened the new stuff from Burstn‘ Out, Triumphant, Gehennah, Bulldozing Bastard, Obsessor, Motor. My fav styles are heavy/speed/thrash/death/black together or separately.

Going Beyond AXECUTOR we will like to know about some Bulgarian bands one must hear at least once as we are not aware of the bands from there. I am sure there are bands that our viewers will like to listen or must listen at least once from your country Bulgaria?

You should really check out Mass Grave. They are really a killer death metal band. Upyr is another name; they are satanic/black/doom with awesome atmosphere on the stage. Check out Belgarath, good friend of ours, with evil northern black metal.

I have just listened some of your tracks and personally I loved Cryptic Death. Again coming back to the tour again can we expect some new tracks?

Yes, as i said before we are playing our new song “War” from the last few gigs and of course we will play all of our songs from the demo “Speed Metal Assault” and the Ep “Aggressive Extermination” plus some covers.

So almost at the end any message to the bands and as well as to the fans from this part of the world?

Unfortunately I don’t know too much for the metal scene of this side of the world, but in fact that you are making this much, is a good sign. I am just happy that we are a part from your metal world from this moment with your compilation and interview! I wish you the metal scene there to be more and stronger like a stage of maniacs! Just believe in yourself!

Lastly a space for you to ask if we SNRMB crew has forgotten to ask you can ask us here?

It would be really interesting to know how the metal stage is on your side. Thank you very much for the interest and support! Cheers to all maniacs there and hope to see play one they there! Stay true!
