Hellish heilz Blackthorn ! To begin,
write down for us a brief bio of the band, and tell us about the recent
news in the Thornspawn world ...
Bestial fucking salutes hells heathens . . . . Thronspawn was
born and created of infernal fire in the year 1995 by Swornghoul and
myself. Shortly after Lord Necron stormed the warfront, and joined our
ranks on second hellsaw command !!! We went through many bass-players...
until we found Bolverk of legendary Necrovore to join our regiment.
At this point we are preparing to unleash a split LP with Canadian warmonger
Ourborus through Decius Rec. (Australia). Also, uniting the hellhorde
élite for the 4th gathering of the Sacrifice of the Nazarene
Child black metal fest !!! Kult !!!
Is your music made for spreading a particular message or just for personal
satisfaction ? Do you believe it would be possible to concretely change
the reality and peoples minds thanx to music and its propaganda
? What did lead you to play Black Metal ?
Our propaganda does involve a specific message . . . . anti-christian,
anti-religious message!!! Of course the hellhymns have to be of the
utmost personal satisfaction for us. We only wish to possess our maniac
supporters with our sonic torment!! I strongly believe that unholy music
can guide and control the thought pattern of todays youth. Many
believe that carrying out acts of stupidity (burning churches etc.)
will put a stop to the christian plague, but it wont... Let our
warhymns be the scolding blade that pierces their childrens minds!
Iconoclasty and blasphemy shine clearly through your lyrics.
In Black Metal talking about war
against christianity and all religions seems to be almost a moral
duty. Do you think there are some fixed rules and patterns to
follow if you want to be considered Black Metal, or everything is left
to personal choice ? What is your opinion about those bands dealing
with vikings, trolls, nature, forests and such bullshit in BM..?
I have never thought about rules,
fuck that !! I could give a fuck less if there is such a thing as rules.
Black Metal to me is a force at its most primal form. Blasphemies and
desecrations bring fear to the feeble mindless flocks dreams.
That is but the only thing that is important to me !! Crush the weak
and their pathetic cross!! I say fuck off to that shit, with their nature-loving,
three-hugging, pathetic hippy gay shit !!!!! Black Metal is hate, Black
Metal is vengeance!!! Black Metal is not about politics, love, nature
and fairies!! Leave all that shit to the gay fux in the goth poser world
!!!
The old Black Metal feeling has almost disappeared nowadays, choaked
by trends and mass-media bullshit, even if it still lives in little
circles. Do you personally believe in the Underground spirit ? What
are your expectations towards the future, concerning this situation
?
It is true with pathetic trendwhores such as Cradle of Shit and Dumb
Burger. They have truly let the masses infiltrate our kult !!! The Underground
demon spirit has to be for the élite... Those that have worshipped
the night and have been possessed by Black/Death war propaganda!!!!
666!!!!! In the future many of these pathetic posers shall follow a
new trend and they will disappear.
You play the drums and sing at the same time, is it difficult to take
care of both aspects, expecially in the live-shows?
I will not sit here and tell you that its not difficult. It is
!!! But once on the stage, I see the maniacs crushing their skulls up
against the monitors!!!
And that is what fuels my fucking oath to the Underground cause and
hellsmetal lust!!! Aaaaaaaaarrrgghhh!!!!
In the booklet you thank some great Italian bands such as Goatfire and
Altar of Perversion. What is your opinion about the Italian BM scene,
do you know any other acts ? Are you in contact with fanzines and/or
distributors ?
Altar of Perversion are fuckin godzzzz!!! Of fucking war!!! Truly
one of the élite of the Italian terrorist regiments!!! As well
as Goatfire... grim satanic might!!! The only war kommandos I am in
contact with are Nicola of Hellflame Prod. (salutes warbrother!!!) and
Seth of Altar of Perversion.
What is the value you give to Life ? Name for us some of the reasons
that make you continuing to live... And about Death, what is your relationship
with Her, do you see anything beyond the threshold ? If
you could choose the formalities of your death, in which way would you
choose to die ? Your opinion about suicide ?
Life is the supreme energy we must use to avenge and unmask the truth
of all this religious deceipt. My life, my worship only goes to one
thing... unholynecrohellishwarmetal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Death has embraced
me once or twice... But those matters I do not speak of with no one.
My death and rest shall come when all are awakened from this zombie
state called religion !!! Suicide is for the weak..... those
that do this, great !!! You are not wanted here, I do not wish to be
around weak minded humans!!! Fucking kill yourself!!! Ha ha!!!
How would a world created at your image look like ?
Free from government, free from christian scum, and the will to do as
you wish. And tons of fucking beer and metal, ha ha!!!!!!
Now some words about your monicker. What is the meaning you personally
give to your bandsname (Thornspawn)?
It is the lyrics written by the mighty Fenriz of Darkthrone for Isengard.
That reflected our cause and hatred for the disgusting trinity. Its
meaning is profoundly related to our ideology and philosophy of the
christian plague as well as the destruction of all religions.
The cover of your album is a very primitive painting of an unholy battle.
Who is the author of it ? Dont you think it would have been better
to choose a more professional and serious cover-artwork,
for example using a real photo or something like that ?
Necrogoat is the one who forged these unholy visions!! A brilliant artist
from the U.S.A. that has assisted others in the U.S. Black War Metal
movement. I am extremely satisfied with the cover and concept, I could
give a fuck less what anyone else thinks. If one doesnt agree
with the cover then dont buy it. Besides it would be rather ignorant
to base the band just on the cover. It is rather typical to slap just
any stupid photo on a cover... rather than to think of art and a concept
that reflects on the title of the release.
It seems like American Black Metal scene is growing if compared to the
past, there are very interesting bands such as Judas Iscariot (even
if he left the USA), Black Witchery, Cult of Daath and others. Could
you write down for us a kind of reportage naming what are
instead the best bands and labels, from your point of view ?
These are the élite of my land : The Chasm, Demonhammer, Cult
of Daath, Nunslaughter, Sadistic Intent, Demonic Christ, Infernal Oak,
Absu, Blood Storm, Namtaru, Kult Ov Azazel, Inquisition, Gnostic, Black
Witchery, Grand Belials Key, Noctuary, Ibex Throne, Krieg !!!
As far as labels I know of only a few : Dark Realm, Warhammer, Fullmoon,
Dark Horizon and thats it.
Are you favourable also to illegal deeds (church blazes, nunslaughters,
etc.) to bring forth the anti-christian crusade ? Have you ever been
in trouble with justice ?
I could really care less about burning their churches. All it will do
is put you in jail and you will rot away. Here in the USA our prisons
are not like your European (hotel) prisons. You are of no use to the
cause if you are put in jail. I personally believe that our music should
be the ultimate terror and threat to them. That is far more effective
than burning a diseased church. I have a criminal record, yes..............
Blood of the holy taint thy steel has been out for already
some time. Have you already composed its successor ? What are we to
expect from the next Thornspawn release ? Will it be out once again
under The Plague rec.? When?
This year we unleashed our mcd Empress from the realms of Blasphemy
and it is our final release under The Plague Rec. as we have since fired
our US label Baphomet records. We at the moment are seeking a new label
support (after this interview the band signed for Osmose rec.).
Do you listen to other genres besides Black Metal ? Have you got any
favourite bands / artists also outside Metal at all ?
I do have an immense interest in the obscure, avantgarde project called
Tangerine Dream which has been around since the early 70s as well
as the side-project of my komrade Proscriptor (of Absu) solo career.
Thanx for the interview, last battle-scream is yours ! Unholy blessings...
Be hailed for the patience you had in my return of this interview komrade.
As well as the support for our regiment. Expect world domination and
terror this coming year with our next cd assault Wrath of War!!!!!!!!!!
666!!!!!!! Death!!! Hate!!! Destruction!!! War!!! Genocide!!!
