Question from Erik Rosenberg (IP: 217.211.220.111) posted June 6, 2005 21:33:33:

Hej Anders,
Snygg sida. Ett värdigt minne av Mieszko. Kände honom allt för dåligt, men det tiotal gånger vi träffats har jag bara goda minnen av.

Borde inte The Products finnas med på related bands?

Nej, skulle vi lista alla band vi någonsin har varit med i så skulle vi hålla på hur länge som helst. Det är de som har mest släktskap med Nasum, främst musikaliskt, som får vara med på sidan. / Anders

Question from Christian (IP: 213.6.64.89) posted June 6, 2005 16:42:01:

Is your diet also vegan or vegetarian?

It's currently vegetarian, but I'm considering giving up the vegetarian life style soon due to different reasons. / Anders

Somr friend told me that you are straight edge! I wanted to know if that´s true and when you decided to become straight? What reasons brought you to this decision?
Good luck in the future! I hope you soon found a new band!

Well, yes I'm 100% drug free, so I guess I qualify as a straight edge person. I always have and always will hate drugs. I stopped drinking and alcohol five years ago this summer. The reason is simple: I don't need drugs in my life. / Anders

Hejsan! Jag igen...
Skulle bara vilja veta när "Grind Finale" kommer ut att köpa =).

Något exakt datum finns inte än. September/oktober är den period vi pratat om, men så fort vi vet mer exakt så kommer det att framgå här på sidan. / Anders

Question from Marie (IP: 81.216.223.44) posted June 6, 2005 11:34:01:

Hej,
jag har lyssnat på nasum sedan close up turnen med haunted och nine, och vill börja med att säga tack. Både musik och texter, ni har gett mig mycket styrka. Vill också säga att jag sörjer Mieszko, önskar er och hans familj allt gott i framtiden.

Funderade på att köpa nån ny tröja, då min är lite gammal nu.. Den jag har är en beige variant som ni sålde på den turnen, girlie. Kan inte se att ni har några girlie storlekar nu.. Jag är en tjej size small, kan jag köpa en x-small t-shirt då? Ni har inga tjejmodeller alls eller?

Vi har två stycken "Shift girlies" kvar i storlek small. Det är en mycket snygg tröja med guldtryck. Den passar nog bättre än en vanlig x-small. / Anders

Question from Lars J (IP: 81.226.83.120) posted June 5, 2005 12:44:32:

Tjena Anders & Nasum!
Såg i bild galleriet att nån hade tatuerat Nasum loggan på ryggen, o läste även i nåt tidigare inlägg att nån hade funderat på att tatuerat återvinningsmärket. Min fråga är då, hur känns det för er som band att folk förevigar Nasum o sånt som är relaterat till Nasum på sin kropp? Känns det typ hedrande eller hur känns det? Det märks ju ganska uppenbart på så sätt att ni verkligen har gjort nånting bra iaf.

Take care!

Det är klart att det känns otroligt smickrande, precis som när folk utsmyckar sin bil/skinnjacka med Nasum-loggan eller för den delen har på sig våra tröjor. Jag har svårt att se något negativt i det hela.
Personligen kan jag dock inte riktigt förstå varför man väljer att tatuera in loggan på ryggen - det är liksom för stort för mig att förstå... / Anders

Question from Anders (IP: 81.224.98.41) posted June 4, 2005 15:19:57:

Tja, jag undrar om du vet vart man hittar lite info om Genocide Superstars. Har dom ingen hemsida? Har googlat men hittar ingenting. Skulle gärna vilja ha deras texter eftersom dom inte följde med skivorna.

Genocide SuperStars har ingen hemsida. Fanns inte texterna med på skivorna har jag svårt att tro att de finns någon annanstans... Du får hitta på egna texter helt enkelt! / Anders

Question from Gudbjörn Valgeirsson (IP: 83.248.174.202) posted June 4, 2005 14:55:57:

Kommer det att bli någon som helst chans att se er på scen igen?
Kanske med en massa gäst sångare?
Gör en benefit turné för Tsunamins offer, med massa gästsångare, det skulle vara guldvärt.
Nasum! - vi älskar er!

"Nasum is no longer an active band. There will never be another studio recording or a live show. Nasum ended with the death of Mieszko." / Anders

Question from Cody (IP: 67.166.62.149) posted June 3, 2005 10:29:51:

I was wondering if the studio diaries and the info on the recording of Helvete would ever be put back onto the site.

As mentioned in the answer below I have lots of additional updates to do on the site, so you can expect that sort of info to return in the future. Keep an eye on the Update log. / Anders

Question from JRH (IP: 68.60.70.16) posted June 3, 2005 02:23:52:

I was wondering if the videos are going to be posted back up in the Downloads section anytime soon?

Also, I received an email from Mieszko 1 week to the day before the Tsunami which has been of great help to my writing, I actually recently packed my shit and moved from Australia to the US and formed a grind band, his words have been very helpful! Good luck with whatever you do in future Anders.

I have a list of additional updates to do on the site, and bringing the videos back (at least some of them - we do not have unlimited serverspace anymore) is defintively on it. / Anders

Question from Jonas (IP: 213.101.51.5) posted June 2, 2005 18:32:59:

Hej på dig Anders, måste berömma dig för den fina sidan du knepat ihop!
Och sen till frågorna;
vad betyder egentligen ordet nasum? har för mig att det stod i den förra gästboken, men jag har glömt det!
och sen undrar jag vilket skivbolag som ska släppa picture-skivorna, anar att GMR är förkortning av nått, eller?

ha det kanon!

1. Se frågan under.
2. De heter GMR Music, vet inte om det är en förkortning eller något. / Anders

Question from forget your tomorrow (IP: 85.100.235.31) posted June 2, 2005 08:38:18:

can you explain the meaning of nasum?

Until the truth comes out in the "Grind Finale" booklet, Nasum still means "a grindcore band from Sweden"... / Anders

Question from Jevon M. (IP: 152.163.100.201) posted June 2, 2005 07:48:29:

Hello Nasum and Crew just wanted to say thanks for all the music you guys have done and will do in the future (w/o nasum of course R.I.P.) you guys are like gods to me i was wondering if relapse or any other company will release some of your earlier works on cd or vinyl cause getting split cd's and anything before industrislaven is reaaaaaaally frickin hard. or if you know where i can order some please tell me. Stay Grind

Read this. / Anders

Question from Brian P. Hoadley (IP: 64.167.29.126) posted June 1, 2005 23:43:09:

Yeah, that was kinda lame. I read on teufelstomb.com, which was from blabbermouth.com, that Nasum would be re-releasing Inhale, Human, and Helvete on vinyl. My primary collection is vinyl, mainly so I can frame the covers. I've got Industrial and want the others.

Well, the re-release is picture discs, so it's not the normal vinyl edition.

And - ehum - the title is "Industrislaven", nothing else! :) / Anders

Question from Solitude (IP: 212.37.109.71) posted June 1, 2005 22:49:09:

yoo jag igen som frågade om DVD haha..kom på en sak TIll Om det finns nån möjlighet att få tag på En högupplöst bild på Shift Framsidan?? skulle nämligen Vilja tatuera Retur märket...(om det är okej)???

Skicka mail så ska du få det du vill ha. / Anders

Question from Solitude (IP: 212.37.109.71) posted June 1, 2005 22:41:24:

Tjena Anders!! du bara tänkte är det några planer på nån DVD eller nått med Nasum??skulle vara jävligt coolt?

Se tidigare frågor och svar. / Anders

Question from Brian P. Hoadley (IP: 64.167.29.126) posted June 1, 2005 21:16:23:

Yo Anders, received my mail order copy of "Inhale/Exhale" thru Relapse last night. Loved my first listen! After having listened to the later albums first, I can see how progessive the early years were. Truth maintained throughout the Nasum period is clearly represented when looking at all the works together. Nice.

Are you planning to release the vinyls thru Relapse? I've got "Industrial" on vinyl and find ordering Nasum on Relapse US quite convenient (you know, no international shipping).

I was thinking, after knowing Mieszko thru the writing, only a tsunami could take out such vibrance. His death, in such a way, has an element of honor to it. It took the powers of the physical world to extinguinsh that life.

Just a thought, and some props on "Inhale/Exhale".

Oh yeah, please don't post this note. These words are for you, man.

It's pretty hard to answer your question without posting your question... Which I don't fully understand, which vinyls are you talking about? Of the albums the first two are sold out and the third ("Helvete") Relapse released and the fourth I don't think they have bought any copies of, which is kind of strange.

Just for the record: This Q and A function should only be used with the intention to get your question answered on the site. If you want a private conversation just write an email! / Anders

Question from Chuckie Hardcore (IP: 207.216.110.123) posted June 1, 2005 00:57:35:

I sent you (Anders) an E-mail at least a month back about the idea of some sort of a tribute maybe feturing unrealed Nasum, Genocide SS, Krigshot stuff and maybe have bands suchs as the Peep Show, DS-13, Entomed and Project Hopless contributing stuff as well?Many other fans of Mieszko would be very intrested in just such a comp;what better way too pay tribute to the guy? Call it "FRiends of Tragedy" Since you where in Krigshot with him, that this would be something too think about?
If others out their read this, please share you ideas about this idea, for a tribute comp. Would like to hear other suggestions as well?

I think it's a pretty bad idea, actually. However I am not interested in putting together some kind of tribute (I mean to be the person organizing the whole thing), it's too much work and too much feelings involved that makes the whole thing so unattractive.
"What better way too pay tribute to the guy?" Well, I would say that you should listen to and buy the stuff he wrote and recorded for Nasum and other bands (as a producer). That's Mieszko's legacy. / Anders

Question from Mikke (IP: 213.65.85.87) posted May 31, 2005 23:26:38:

Det ser lite utplockad ut på merch-sidan, kommer du att trycka upp fler tröjor?

Troligen, men just nu är jag mest angelägen om att bli av med det som finns. / Anders

Question from Leo Mauler (IP: 84.231.64.33) posted May 31, 2005 21:01:52:

My late condolences for the department of Mieszko. Nasum's music truly was and is one of my greatest inspirators in creating music of my own, and the world of extreme music is now one excellent band, and even moreso, one excellent songwriter poorer. I wish the best for you people in your future projects. Stay strong and innovative.

Thanks for the kind words. Once again I should perhaps point out that all the other ex-Nasum members are active in other bands, check out the related bands page for more info. / Anders

Question from tiong (IP: 218.208.76.66) posted May 31, 2005 07:59:40:

hi anders.wish you all the best in the future.u r the good drummer.always admire on ur drum skill technique and the way you blast the drum.in future,did u plan to make another band maybe still playing on grindcore and playing drums ? sorry for this question.i really need to know.long live forever nasum.

Well, I have plans, dreams, whatever about a new band. I know what I want to play, but I need to find the right people to play with, which isn't the easiest thing. / Anders

Question from Joanna (IP: 83.251.150.96) posted May 30, 2005 22:35:17:

Hej Anders, vilket jobb du har lagt ner på sidan, minnen och att hedra Mieszko... är säker på att han uppskattar det där han är på andra sidan. Jag mailade en hel del med honom för några år sedan och har en del fina bilder på honom och er två som han skickat till mig. Undrade ifall du kanske vill ha dom? Eller förmodligen så har du redan dom, kan tro att de är tagna till ett skivomslag och sedan är det nån konsertbild på Mieszko. Hur som helst önskar dig/er allt gott. Tack fär att du orkat göra denna sajt.

Miezko... Tänker på dig. Du _är_ en hjälte.

Tack för inlägget. Jag tror jag har de foton du nämner. Spar dem du som minne! / Anders

Question from Lee (IP: 213.123.36.193) posted May 30, 2005 19:40:41:

Hey Anders

It's sad that Nasum are no more and I and many, many other fan's will miss the music you created,
I really hope you can get back on your feet in the music world and set your talent's free once again ,I know i for one will be waiting.

RIP Mieszko

Best of luck for what the future bring's for you Ander's.

Thanks. / Anders

Question from Backlund (IP: 213.64.122.137) posted May 30, 2005 18:49:53:

Tack så mycket för tipset om "Sayyadina" dom var bra som fan.
Hoppas att allting rullar på och så. Skulle vilja höra ett tips på hur man grindar så jävla bra som du gör, har alltid spelat mycket grind på trummor, men inte liksom åstadkommit nånting riktigt sjysst. Men när du gör det så ser det så goddamn lätt ut.

Har du bara tränat dig till det eller har du nåt bra tips :D

Tack på förhand

Jag har egentligen inget bra tips förutom det lite torra "övning ger färdighet". Det låter trist men så är det. När jag tog över trumstolen i Nasum 1996 fick jag slita som fan för att det skulle bli bra. Det lät svagt och sviktande, men det var bara att ge sig fan på att det skulle gå så gick det. Sen att min spelstil blev som den blev ä väl lika delar koncentration och image... / Anders
