Thanx for the nice words. We have not played live but this is our sound indeed. It is all pretty basic,actually.

No,we do not have a concept or a special meaning behind it. We just entered the studio a few times and jammed the songs right there and just see where it all would end. We did not even had a record deal when we recorded the album so it all was a surprise to us as well.

Paul and me started out first being called First Class Elite in 2013 and even did a split CD with Violation Wound and Mike & the Boys. We wanted to play in the SOD/Amebix/Carnivore style. Then our singer had to leave for personal stuff at that time and we put the project on ice then as well. After a while Paul phoned me and said he had some more cool riffs and so we started recording again with the 2 of us. Then Paul asked Chris(when Paul was with Asphyx in the USA) if he wanted to do the vocals and Chris agreed to it once he heard the songs. For the bass we asked longtime friend Theo.

Paul had some nice riffs again and he thought we should use older songs from 2 earlier sessions too and try to make a full length album for it. Since our original vocalist came up with the name First Class Elite we thought it was better to continue under a different name.

In 3 cheap different studios here in my area and Chris recorded his vocal parts in a studio in his area(Earhammer Studio). We did drums and guide guitar at Studio Atak and Tom Meier and the actual guitars and bass where recorded at Paul's own studio.

There was not much of an actual writing process really,Paul had the riffs and structures already so we booked the studio right away and started jamming/recording there.

The drums and guides where recorded live in the studio,yes.

Paul and myself jammed right in the studio and the engineer recorded it. It was good fun,good beer and we just see where it would end anyway. We were not too serious at all. Later we send all the songs to Chris so he could work on the lyrics etc.

Bob- No, we are a non touring band.

Carnivore is an influence so there are some similarities. It could just as well be a little homage to Petrus Steele. We had him in mind anyway.

That is a good thing for sure. That bands keep the old school Death Metal flame burning but I must admit that I don't follow it that much anymore. Maybe it is an age kind of thing but when I hear Death Metal I always play Hellhammer/Frost, Slaughter,Possessed, early Death or Necrophagia. Guess I heard it all a million times for decades and for me personally I always take a trip back in time,which I enjoy the most by far.

Ripping me off? Like not sending a shirt while it's being payed? Or in a musical way? Either way,the line is very thin. More something like one is loving a band or hating it.

Graceless from Holland. Their debut album blew me away. Excellent OSDM done right.

There are being released on the digi.

I think Killing Joke is the band I listen to the most lately and besides that I listen also a lot to The Skull, Type O Negative, old Burzum and Saint Vitus.

For me, I am influenced by old Venom, Celtic Frost and Necrophagia. Those where always my influences and always will be.

Yes for sure since I am a huge Doom Metal fan. I always loved the slow heavy metal the most. We also always had very slow parts in my old band Asphyx.

It is the scene after a nuclear blast. A desolate and depressive landscape where one is better of dead. Roberto Toderico did an awesome job right there again! We love it a lot too. The colours and all is just perfect.

I must admit that I really do not know what they were using, haha!

There is not really a concept. Every song has it's story or anger management or no anger management at all. I think people interpret songs differently or even recognize themselves or their situation in it.

Venom.
