:: INTERVIEW TO BLACK WITCHERY

PRESENT YOURSELVES OUR READERS...
"I do not believe that we need an an introduction...Black Witchery is black speed desecration metal for maniacs only."

WHO ARE BLACK WITCHERY AS BAND MEMBERS?
"Black Witchery is myself, Impurath- Barbaric bass onslaught and Malicious war commands, Tregenda- Tyrant of Black Plagues and hellish six string holocaust and the ultimate black hearts barbarian, Vaz -Apocalyptic Death hammers and traditional grave desecration."

WHEN DID YOU HAVE FOUNDED THE BAND?
"The band was formed in late '96 out of the ashes of the death/black band Irreverent. Irreverent released 2 demos or primitive and blasphemous death/black metal and when started Black Witchery, the goal was to continue the tradition of blasphemous rage of Irreverent but in a more destructive and violent manner."

WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE VERY FIRST BEGINNING OF BAND...
"The band released a promo in '97 and then a demo tape in '98...both were well recieved by the underground...then, a 7" ep was released and the "Hellstorm of Evil Vengeance" split with Conqueror."

WHAT'S ABOUT YOUR PREVIOUS RECORDING-EFFORTS?
"The split was considered a monumental release of total viscious and dark, hellish black metal and still to this day is the most brutal split ever unleashed ...we are very proud of this release but urge no one to buy the cd versions which were supposed to stopped press and were continued without permission from either band by the jew record label Dark Horizon."

WHAT'S ABOUT YOUR FOLLOWING?
"We have gained many maniacal followers from all areas of the world.....only true extreme black/death heretics will be able to comprehend the style of blasphemous fury that Black Witchery executes."

THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTS IN YOUR HISTORY?
"I think the best acheivments of the band were the 2 live attacks in Canada with ross bay godz Blasphemy which occured in 2000 and 2001....also, the live assaults in europe and here in the US are great acheivments....these t` hings are far more important to us than the number of records we've sold or what kind of recognition we have gotten."

COULD YOU INTRODUCE US YOUR ALBUM 'UPHEVAL OF SATANIC MIGHT'?
"Upheaval of Satanic Might" is 9 tracks of total black speed desecration metal in the same exact direction as the infamous debut... However, I believe that "Upheaval.." is far more extreme and darker than "Desecration of the Holy Kingdom"."

WHY DID YOU GET SIGNED BY OSMOSE PRODUCTIONS?
"Herve the Osmose boss thought the debut was furious and approached the band about releasing the second record...we had no label in mind for the second release and since Osmose was working with great bands such as Revenge, Impiety, and Abominator, we felt it was a good decision for the band. Also, Osmose has been in existence for quite some time now and has released some great classic black metal records such as Gods of War, Old Necromantia, Mystifier-Wicca, etc."

WHAT'S ABOUT THE PRODUCTION OF ALBUM?
"The album was produced and recorded by the band ...we recorded it live to preserve the violent and intense feel of a live Black Witchery attack and I think we have acheieved this with the new release...there are no worthy studios here...only engineers with stupid ideas and expensive polished sounding equipment."

ANY PARTICULAR CONCEPT CONCERNING THE ALBUM?
"Total Antichrist Victory of Death."

WHAT'S THE MOOD OF IT?
"Upheaval of Satanic Might " is a very extreme and evil, dark and powerful record....fans of weak scandanavian black metal should stay away from it."

THE MUSIC IS VERY BRUTAL REMINDING ME ORDER FROM CHAOS AND SO ON?
"Order from Chaos is a total god-head US death metal icon! Maybe the only similarity between both bands is the thunderous and over-powering raw and dirty bass attacks. Real black metal should be brutal, dark and evil...not the mediocre style of "black metal" that seems to be normal these days."

THE MOST SALIENT ASPECTS OF YOUR NEW ALBUM?
"Every aspect of the album is important... the artw` ork, lyrics, photos and of course the music is all of equal importance in Black Witchery."

WHAT'S ABOUT THE FEEDBACK?
"The responses that we have heard have been fucking great....i am sure there will be negative feedback from persons who are supportive of the usual garbage that is prevalent in metal today....we are only concerned with true black metal heretics who praise real black metal abominations."

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR SOUND?
"Total blasphemous destruction and hatred."

TOURING PLANS?
"yes there will be live assaults in the future....Black Witchery is eager to desecrate foreign countries live!"

YOUR LIFE'S PHILOSOPHY?
"Antichrist exaltation till death."

THE FUTURE OF THE BAND?
"Live desecration and the lp release of Upheaval of Satanic Might."

ANY LAST REMARKS?
"Hail black speed desecration metal eternal...beware of "Upheaval of Satanic Might"..."
