Hey, how come you guys chose to include a USB cable on the cover of Grind Finale?
It just seems like a very odd thing to put on a cd cover.

A:
It was Orion's (Relapse) idea. I think it's brilliant, it sort of goes along with the futuristic approach we had on "Human 2.0". The idea of the cover was to pick inspiration from all our other covers. / Anders
Question from JRH (IP: 159.53.46.144) posted December 22, 2005 21:37:39:
Q:
outside of grind, do you write any other music? anything more "commercially accessable"? i know you're a fan of all kinds of different music, and obviously a great writer (as is shown in MANY Nasum songs), but do you plan on ever doing anything outside of the realm of extreme metal ?
A:
During the mid 90's I was in a lot of different bands (all inside the alternative style though) and wrote some non-metal stuff, but since 1998 I've only written grind (apart from a few Krigshot-tracks), so now I am actually hopelessly stuck in this writing style. I wouldn't know how to begin writing something else, especially "normal" music. / Anders

But I have some questions:
How will be "Grind Finale" bought?? Only on the Net or in the shops where we find other Nasum cd's?
Will Grind Finale be limited? How many do you product?

A:
Yes, "Grind Finale" will be available at the usual places where you can buy Nasum/Relapse records. It's limited in the sense that it will not be available forever, but it's not a small, numbered edition. / Anders

Q:
Anders, what kind of label interest have you had for the new "ex-nasum" project? Have Relapse or Burning Heart approached you about it? Do you plan on touring with this new project, or will you just take it slow and see what happens with it? Are you going to produce the album yourself (with your newly aquired talent), or will Dan Swano? Any ideas on what we can expect as far as lyrical content goes? Will it be a political approach similar to some of the Nasum material, or something else?
A:
1000 questions...
As stated over and over again - this is a project, not a band - so it will exist on a pure project level, i.e. get together when the time is right, write some songs, record demos, perhaps record a record of some kind. I don't think shows or tours are in the picture, to be honest.
I would estimate that the lyrical content should be as old school as the music and not have a political approach. There was an original plan for the lyrics when I approached the guys about the project, but I don't think we will follow that plan due to the quality of the songs. / Anders

Q:
Hello!
Well here's a question I've been asking a couple people I know and no one has a accurate answer. I thought why not ask someone who is actually in a well known grindcore band... here it is:
According to books like "Choosing Death: The Improbable Histroy of Death Metal and Grindcore" and many other people within the metal/punk scene, Napalm Death are considered to be the "gateway" band to extremeness in the extreme metal/hardcore world being they've supposedly invented the "blast beat" and shcizophrenic hardcore punk (aka grindcore today.) What do you feel about Napalm Death's contribution to the extreme world? Would there have never been any blast beats in death/black metal if it wasn't for Napalm Death? Was grindcore in fact invented by them?
This is a debateable quesiton I know, but what are your feelings on this being you were apart of the whole grindcore movement?

Was grindcore in fact invented by them?
This is a debateable quesiton I know, but what are your feelings on this being you were apart of the whole grindcore movement?
A:
To begin with: Napalm Death did not invent grindcore. I'm not sure who did, but band such as Seige, Lärm and early DRI should be considered inventors in this case.
But: Napalm Death was the first band to put grindcore on the map (much due to John Peel's radioshow in England), so they probably had a lot of influence on extreme music in general, and ultimately how things are today. I've never seen Napalm Death as the reason for blast beats in death/black. I think it would have came natural in those genres eventually anyway.
Bands have always been looking for ways to be more extreme, and increasing the speed is certainly one way to do it. I remember when I first head Accept's "Fast as a shark" during the 80's and was totally blown away by the speed. A couple of years later I heard Slayer's "Silent scream" and felt that it was so fast that I couldn't hardly listen to it. A year later I heard grindcore for the first time and understood that the speed limit was reached (in hindsight: not really!).
So Napalm Death's contribution to the extreme world is priceless but I don't think they are the direct reasons to those things you mentioned.

Va svarade Seth på er lilla You look divorced-kör då?
Det roliga är ju att han faktiskt är frånskild. haha. Och att han skrivit om en massa människor som ligger i koma och är homosexuella. Och han vaknade för inte så länge sedan upp ur en koma. Ödets ironi kanske?

A:
Vi såg ju upp till Napalm Death som fan och man har ju en viss bild hur ens förebilder/idoler är. I många fall stämmer den inte alls, men i detta fall var det helt perfekt. Inget krångel alls och inget bråk, förutom när Jesper och Shane diskuterade en Star Wars-detalj, haha!
Dillinger Escape Plan å andra sidan var närmare oss i ålder och sånt så det blev liksom en bra kontakt mellan oss. Det var kul.
Seth suckade till och flinade lite lätt och fortsatte vara bakfull. Ödets ironi, precis, det är väl bara en tidsfråga innan han kommer ut ur garderoben också... / Anders

A:
Favoritband att turnera med var Napalm Death och Dillinger Escape Plan.
Att turnera med AxCx var inget speciellt för i ärlighetens namn var vi och Napalm Death som åkte tillsammans medan AxCx och Pig Destroyer åkte ihop. Det var bara mest under gemensamma middagar (populärt i Japan) och vid gigen som vi sågs och jag kan väl säga att vid ett tillfälle gluffsade Seth i sig en rejäl sked wasabi.
Jag vet inte vad jag ska säga om honom som person. Jag pratade aldrig med honom, men när AxCx kom upp till Toys Factorys kontor och Seth såg lite seg och bakfull ut sa hela Nasum i kör: "You look... divorced", och det var otroligt roligt.
("You look divorced" är en av AxCxs fina titlar för de som inte vet.) / Anders

A:
Jag satt i Cubase och använde mig främst av en plug-in som heter Firium som man kan använda för att läsa av en EQ-kurva från en källa och sen använda den på andra. Så jag läste av "Shift" eller "Helvete" och satt sedan och laborerade med de andra inspelningarna. Lite vanlig EQ-ning blev det också. / Anders

Q:
1.Who do you feel are the most important grind bands today? Bands that really define the genre and breathe new life into it.
2.Where do you see the future of grind, do you see it reverting back to it's grass roots a little or do you think we'll continue to see cross-genre bands that expand the boundaries, so to speak, of grindcore (eg. The Berzerker)?
3.Do you think we'll ever see another major label "cash grab" of grind bands like we did in the mid 90's with Carcass and Napalm Death?
4.What is one band you wish Nasum could have toured with that you were never able to?
5.When you were playing guitar in Nasum, what tunings did you use, and what was your guitar of choice?

A:
1. I don't know. Just because I used to play grind, I don't know every band that does it! :)
2. I can't tell really. I guess grind will never be huge or trendy, but I imagine that bigger bands can bring some grindinfluences to their stuff. We heard it on Slipknot's latest, some say System Of A Down have grindparts now (I don't) and Soilwork has a pure grindsong on their latest (song is called "Blind eye halo" - check it out!). Five years ago I heard more grindinfluences in the hardcorebands but it really didn't catch on, so I have no idea what to expect of the future.
3. I wouldn't say that grind made it to the major labels. Anyway - black metal is a more commercial extreme style so they'll keep to that.
4. Converge. It almost happened, and could have happened during 2005.
5. I had a Ibanez with EMG-81 (still have) and the tuning during my guitar years started with a D-tuning (first two recordings) and then became a B-tuning. / Anders

Q:
I'm a guitarist turned drummer for a grind band here in the philippines. I played the drums because it's hard to find drummers who likes grindcore here (I wonder why? They're all into deathmetal & all there blastbeats are 1 to 2 seconds long only. Anyway, with regards to my drumming, I have some questions: What kind of cymbals do you use? Is there any particular cymbal do grind music use? I've seen your Live In Osaka video, why is it your cymbals sounds differently than mine & are so noisy & mine are not? The one I used from live gig are noisy but the one I bought for myself wasn't.
A:
My prefered cymbals are Zildjian or Sabian, fairly big (18-19-20") and fairly thick (heavy) so they last. My right crash (from my point of view) is more or less my main "part" of the drumkit so it must hold for all the beating.
You should not judge the sound of my cymbals from the Osaka video because first of all - those cymbals were part of a rented backline and not mine, and second of all the sound has been compressed by a videocamera and then damaged by the videoclip compression, so the sound is really far from the truth. / Anders

Q:
Hey Nasum!
I have no real question, I just wanted to tell you a couple of things..
First off, I truly, deeply feel for the loss of Mieszko Talarczyk.. When I read the stuff you had written about him on this page, I felt like crying.. I didn't know him as person, but I am a very big Nasum fan, and just imagining what you guys must be going through, it's.. Horrible.. But I'm glad to hear that you're getting upwards again.. Everything's going to be alright.. I just wanted to tell you, that I too am really sorry that he is no more.. It hurts deeply in my heart.. I wish you the best of luck for the future, and please: Try to keep your mood up..
Second: I'm also very sorry to hear that you have stopped Nasum entirely.. I know that you have written that no one knows what the future will bring, and I really DO NOT want to be selfish, especially not in your situation, but just the thought of Nasum being no more, that is sad.. I would also very much like to see you guys live some time, but of course I fully understand if you cannot keep doing this, being in Nasum.. I truly do.
But what I really want to say, is this: I did not know Mieszko personally or anything, I am only a fan.. But what do you guys think that he would want you to do if he should die? Personally, even though I did not know him, I think he would want you guys to carry on, and still be an active band.. No matter what happened, I think he would want you guys to keep going.. And don't forget the song you guys yourself wrote: "Go!".. "Never give in, never give up, you have to stand strong. If there's a will, there is a way, just f*cking carry on".. That song have helped me a lot when I have been down, and I just wanted to remind you of how you felt when you wrote that..
Well, that was all for now.. A reply would be nice..
And again, good luck to all of you in the future.. Grindcore forever!

A:
Well obviously it's impossible to know what someone dead would have liked or not liked. One year ago would I have told the other guys: "If I die tomorrow, I want you to carry on"? I don't know.
In the end it's not really up to that person to decide for the others what to do, it's a matter of how things feel.
I don't know if you play in a band yourself but I am sure you've heard about "band chemistry". Well, we felt that an important ingredient was missing and that it currently is impossible to find.
I am as sorry as the next guy that we never got to do a proper US/Canada tour, or that we never explored the parts of Europe that were unknown for Nasum, or got to Australia and what have you, but a reunion of Nasum isn't really an option anymore.
In a way, the new project I have with Urban and Jon (and ultimately Jesper and hopefully Rickard) will sort of fill the gap Nasum left, although the style of this is slightly different. I am planing to share our October recording with you guys pretty soon (I need to remix it) and you will hear for yourself.
As for "Go!" it was a try to write some sort of positively charged lyrics as a counterpart to our normal lyrics which fed on the negative parts of life and society (something that goes along very well with the aggressive music), and I am glad that it helped you, but it will not bring Nasum back from the dead. / Anders

Q:
BIG Nasum fan. A guy from a local metal band here in Alaska showed me Inhale/Exhale, and now I can't stop listening to "When Science Fails".
My question is more rhetorical than anything, though. When are you guys gonna start grinding again?!
MUCH respect to the Talarczyk family.

Om en fråga ställs specifikt till Jon eller Urban (eller någon annan ex-Nasummedlem) så ska de givetvis få möjlighet att svara på frågan. / Anders

Q:
No question, just mad props for Grind Finale Anders. You did a great job on the mastering. Hands down, my best CD purchase for 2005.
Oh yeah, I do have a question. Any chance of you merch'ing a Necrony T?
