It started back in 㥠. We released the demo ripping evil containing the track Jaws Of Satan, which got the ball rolling. We only were together for short time and split up due to personal problems, but I reformed the band again in 㥦. After the BATHYM project went through many lineup changes, but got good lineup now after all these years.

Well Hex was released end of last year through Death To Mankind Records, so they were not released the same time. It's just Hex Nefarious is not getting the promotion Crowned Infernal has so it seems they are released the same time.

It was different band, but I write music and did vocals for it, too. It has different members, but also those members also write some music, so it had little different sound. Not as evil as SATHANAS in my opinion.

Well Bill has been with me for about 15 years, Jim about 4. Both are great musicians and into SATHANAS. We are glad to have them aboard. They are a big inspiration for SATHANAS. Great style and attitude for this music, so they both add to SATHANAS.

The classics. VENOM, CELTIC FROST, POSSESSED, SACRIFICE, SODOM, BATHORY, DESTRUCTION, KREATOR, as well as the Metal gods PRIEST, MAIDEN. And the grandfathers SABBATH!!!

We were in contact back in 㥫. They were supposed to release our Cruentus Diabolis MCD, but at the last minute they had some problems, so I looked elsewhere. Drakkar Productions then released it, but I was in contact with them again in 㤍. Noticing they were starting up again, Roy offered the release something new from us. I said what the hell, sounds good, so we released Entering The Diabolic Trinity through Pulverised. After that we were happy with Pulverised we decided to do another release. Then came Crowned Infernal. We were going to stay with Pulverised for another one, but they are busy with many bands now. We have interest from Pagan Records from Poland. They released our MCD Flesh For The Devil a few years back, so we will decide at the end of this year what label it will be.

Many reasons. Mostly cause few of them went under money problems. We are starting to get better offers, but most smaller labels can only do so much. Most can't put you on tour or pay studio costs. I have been lucky with that. Most of them did for us. Also Pulverised sent us to Europe in 㤎. Pagan said they would send us over in early ã¤' if we decide to go with them.

We have more shows. Just some are more local. In our area, the scene isn't too big. We do most shows in Ohio. We are playing more out of state, if it's worth the trip. Money, gas etc. We plan on coming to Europe again more than anything just because it's more dedicated there. USA seems to have some good place, but the travel expense doesn't seem worth it. Once again unless we get label to pay for that we need to make so much money, since we all have families etc.

It just came to me!!!! I had few other choices, but after seeing the sketch from Wahlin, it seems to fit.

Hell yeah!! We are planning to use him again. Fucking great job. Should have used him earlier, but great to work with him now.

I emailed him. He said he would be glad to do it. He was a fan of SATHANAS for many years. I plan on using him again in the future. Wait and see!!!

Thanx for the interview!! Get your copy of Crowned Infernal. SATHANAS at its best!!! Until the next one, which I'm writing now. Even more brutal satanic thrash!!!!
