Jo, Augustibuller brukar jag hamna på så det lär man väl se. Dessvärre måste jag säga att Discharge inte var så överdrivet spännande på Fury Fest 2004, men om de ställer sig på en scen bokstavligen 40 minuter hemifrån så är det klart att man spanar på dem. / Anders

"Mentally Murdered" and "Symphonies of Sickness".

Well, I haven't heard enough of The Berzerker to really speak about this subject, but from what I have heard I'd really like to hear the drumming without the triggers... / Anders

Hultsfred ser ju fint ut, men det blir ingen resa dit i år. I övrigt har jag inte kollat några bandlistor. / Anders

Yes, I realised that my answer was a little bit one-dimentional. What I meant was that when it comes to BLASTING bands the efforts of the human drummer is what does it for me. Anyone can program a beat and increase the BPM to the max, but what fun is that? When it comes to grind the thing that defines grind is the tempo of the drummer, so it you add a machine into the equation you have missed the point.

You are totally right - there are lots of very good bands with drum machines, like Ministry, Godflesh and a few others where the drum machine in a way is a defining part of the sound. In grindcore it isn't.

Sorry for being a little bit "short" in my previous answer. / Anders

I wouldn't say that. I doubt that Mieszko even knew about Lard in the first place. / Anderes

Obvious answer: ask a guitar player. The standard answer: it's not only the guitar that makes the sound - strings, pedals, effects, amps, technique etc have their part in the picture, but look for a guitar with EMG mikes would be my answer. / Anders

I only listen to bands that have a human being playing the drums. And my general idea about fast music is that a band is only as fast as the band as whole is. There are bands where the drummer explodes in short fast bursts while the others still play at normal speed. Sorry, but that isn't fast music.
So according to all this, I believe that the fastest band I listen to is Hate Eternal. A consistant fast speed through out the songs and the album. / Anders

Mieszko designed that cover but I believe it is a soldier kicking a corpse or something. / Anders

No, it's from a movie. I think I've answered this question before some time... / Anders

Ok...? But Nasum is dead and gone forever. Please accept it. / Anders

Jag orkar inte svara! / Anders

Yes, there are some truth to what Jon says. For exampel Birdflesh, Sayyadina, General Surgery and Jigsore Terror have the same drummer (at least live for most times). As for shows it really depends on the bill of the night. A sort of mixed bill generally draws a bigger audience. / Anders

If it had been a crime then AxCx would have been in jail a long time ago as they've always have had provocative songtitles. I think the freedom of speech allows them (and everyother band) to name their songs to whatever.

I don't know if anything happened with that "song" or not. I don't even care, but if it's released I guess the reactions from people will come quite natural. Not that Seth would care. / Anders

No worries. / Anders

Nä, det är den vanliga vinylutgåvan som kom ungefär samtidigt som CD:n (kanske någon månad senare). Den finns i grå, vit och genomskinlig vinyl. / Anders

Den "Helvete"-vinyl som är mest rare är den genomskinliga. / Anders

You'll find the lyrics on the Franky Lee album! / Anders

Yeah, it's rather a message than a question so I'm saving it for future use. / Anders

Ja. / Anders

This question was recently answered in Swedish, but here's a translation then:

Neither Urban nor I remembers the exact details from the recording as it wasn't documented in any way, but it's very likely that the recording was quite similar to "Helvete" when it comes to the guitars, i.e. Mieszko miked the guitars with a couple of mikes (I have a slight memory of only two for "Shift") and all guitars were dubbed (four tracks of guitars in total). / Anders

Hej du! Jag kan inte utläsa av din fråga om problemet enbart uppkommer när du grindar med högern på hihaten eller om det är hela tiden. Generellt sett tycker jag att det är lite knepigt att grinda på hihaten för det blir ju korsade armar och lite trängre med plats för vänstern. Om man grindar på riden så blir det en mer naturlig rörelse och i och med det enklare. Så funkar det om du grindar på riden?

I och med att du skriver att du klarar av att köra en virvel utan problem kanske du ska analysera hur din vänster funkar när du virvlar och jämföra det med grindandet. Flyttar sig armen på något sätt, slår du någon annanstans på trumman etc. Om du försöker hålla vänstern på samma sätt så ska det realistiskt sett inte vara några problem. Ett sätt att öva kan kanske vara att virvla som vanligt först och sen fortsätta och virvla med högern på hihaten.

Lycka till med problemet och ditt fortsatta grindande. / Anders

Yet again the fucked up tracklist on the "Industrislaven" MCD haunts me. When the CD was printed two tracks were merged into one, making half of the tracklist incorrect. The songs "Mer rens" and "Ditt öde" is track #8 on the CD when it should have been #8 AND #9. So the rest of the list is one wrong.

"Söndermald" is actually that slow instrumental track and the song you are asking about is called "Revolution II" (as it's a reprise of "Revolution"), and it was supposed to be a hidden bonus track, but it got it's own track #, thus making the tracklist "correct", when it comes to the number of titles and the number or tracks.

I can't quite remember why we did "Revolution II" in the first place. I think it had to do with the original having an improvised vocal part in the middle and we decided to do an all improvised take with a pitch shifter. Something like that. / Anders

I. Don't. Know. / Anders

Yes. / Anders

No, I will not do a drum video. It would in all honesty be the worst drum video ever. I've got nothing against those who do those videos. / Anders
