Could
you describe me your lyrics?
CHRISTOPHER-KRABATHOR: As we like we are using lyrics from things around
us. Things from our lives, we donīt like to do some un-real thing. Every
time we put there something new from our live which one we have find out
from last CD.Of course in some lyrics we are using some our ideas.Thinking
about something. As some one write his ideas to note book we would like
to decribe it in the lyrics and in the songs.
What is the "EXTREME" for you?
CHRISTOPHER-KRABATHOR: A lot of things can be extreme.In the life, int
the world and of course music can be aggressive. But in the music is it
different. You arenīt kiling or doing some bad things. You just would like
to put out your power to the songs and through the songs to show people
something. It isnīt like wars.Itīs much worse.
What's bands are big influences for Krabathor?
CHRISTOPHER-KRABATHOR: We would like to be ourselves but you know itīs
unable in this time. If you doing music you can find there some influencesalways.
Iīm not lisning a lot of new Death-Grind band.Some time if I have chance
I do but mostly Iīm in old stile .I have started with my band in 1984 and
we have been listening stuff like Venom,Celtic Frost,Bathory, Destruction,Possessed,
Kreator, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Accept etc. Iīm big fan of the solo
guitarist too like Vai, Satriani, Moore, Chastain etc.
What do
you think about european undergorund scene?
CHRISTOPHER-KRABATHOR: Here is a lot of great bands still. Every bofy
can find what they like. Which kind of the music .etc.Definitly music is
still going and going because you can find a lot of festivals, shows.all
over Europe.
So, best underground band at the moment and best band that you love.
CHRISTOPHER-KRABATHOR:You know itīs hard to say who is best.As I wrote
you I like old stuff.Even from those bands I can say who is best. For me
is just good band or bad band. Just what Iīm listening or what Iīm not listening.Here
in Czech are good underground bands like Fleshless, Pandemia or Sloughtering.Who
is best I donīt know.What I love from old stuff is Accept and Judast Priest.they
are great and will be forever.
Talk about your discography and about your last album.

*95 Lies
*97 MCD Mortal Memories
*98 Orthodox
*00 Unfortunately Dead
*03 Dissuade Truth
We hae spoke about last CD but itīs little bit different than CD before.
Unfortunately Dead was litle bit epic and slow stuff. This new CD is faster
and let say more brutal.I hope that people will agree with me.We would like
to do fast CD and I think we done it.Just last song is little bit different.
As always Krabathor do.Last song must me little bit different.
How can you define your personal evolution as musicians?
CHRISTOPHER-KRABATHOR: Iīm playing as much as I can. We have prctice
every day.Of course always is a lots of things you can do better but we
are able to play what we like to play. Leto put it this way.We are able
do what we like. Of course we arenīt sleeping and we would like to do more
and we are working on it.We are working on equipment too, this is important
for band too.

know somepersons in Italy?
CHRISTOPHER-KRABATHOR: If I tell you true I havenīt heard so many bands
from Italy and I canīt tell what new bands are out right now.I know bands
like Brainwash,Undertaker,we ahe played with them.
What do you want to communicate when someone is at your show or is listening
to your music?
CHRISTOPHER-KRABATHOR: On the show is important music, first.Than if
you would like to tell something people through your music and lyrics you
have to be close with them. Important is if peole like the shows and have
a fun. Itīs for fun and to have good feeling from show and band-s.
