Q: Hi!

I just want to ask that will the videos from the download section be downloadable again?

Did you heard something about the Nasum Napalm Death split?

Thank you!

A: Apparently the server where I had all the videos and songs have disappeared, so I need some new place to host them...

The split is coming... some day. / Anders

Q: åh fyfan, jag kollade nyss på spelningen ni gjorde på Hultsfred 2003, jag har aldrig fått sådana rysningar i hela kroppen som jag fick när ni körde igång Scoop. Damn. Jag har dock några frågor. Om Mieszko inte hade dött 2004, hade ni planer på att fortsätta? Andra frågan: spelade du på en black panther eller en pork pie virvel på Hultsfredsspelningen 2003 eller var det kanske någon annan?

Jag saknar Miezsko som fan, jag kan inte föreställa mig hur det är för dig som förmodligen var väldigt tight med honom.

Mvh Lènart

A: Ja, det fanns inga planer på att sluta. Nasum hade ju i princip bara börjat.
Det lär ha varit Black Panthern för det är den enda virvel jag äger. / Anders

Q: Hello, Anders!

What do you think about the new Nasum shirt on Relapse, "The Engine of Death"?
It's about time a "Shift" based shirt was released.. It's got quite the interesting look to it.
Were you involved with the design/make at all?

A: I approved it and I think it's fucking awesome! / Anders

Q: Good afternoon, Anders!

What was one of the funnest and most memorable shows you ever played with Nasum? There were obviously a ton of venues you played at, but I was wondering which one you had the most fun with out of them all and why?

A: I believe that the most fun was at different festivals, like the two times on Hultsfred, Wacken and so forth. As for venue shows... well, you can't really beat CBGB's, can you? But I think the warehouse gig we did in Lancaster at the end of the US tour was the most fun. 100% party and I even played a couple of songs with a blown up baloon - in my mouth! / Anders

Q: Hi anders odd question here but any info would be greatly appreciated.

Do you happen to know what bass Jesper used live in the Hultsfred Festival video? Mainly Ive seen him use it in the Human 2.0 era. It was 5 string and black.

Cheers if you have any info.

Andrew.

A: Yes, it's my old 5-string Washburn bass, that my parents gave me on my 18th (?) birthday. It was used in Necrony and also in Nasum, like on this picture, where Mieszko is playing the bass. It's not a fancy bass at all. / Anders

Q: anders i read the link about the recording of the bass - i wondered what distortion pedal was used live?

A: Can't remember, but we used a sans amp to boost things up. / Anders

Q: Evening, Anders.

Through all the Nasum albums, I was wondering which one held your favorite snare drum sound? Are you very picky on having the perfect snare sound? Did you use different snares through out each album? I thought the production from each record would change the sound of it. Overall, I really loved it on "Helvete", it had such a bang on clang sound to it.

P.S - Any more info on the Nasum Tribute CD? I'm dying to hear other bands try to cover already amazing masterpieces.

A: The snare is arguable the hardest "instrument" to get right in a recording, I have yet to experience the perfect snare sound on one of my own recordings. Of course playing death/grind it's extra hard especially if you want to avoid using triggers and go for that natural sound.
I can remember what snares we used. Soundlab had one of two that was primary used because they were better than mine. I don't think I've used my own snare on any (real) recording.
Can't say which album has the best snare right now, and no new info about the comp. / Anders

A: The sound is more about the guitar mikes, the pedals and the amp rather than the guitar and strings itself. / Anders

Question from Omen (IP: 80.201.204.177) posted December 26, 2008 12:20:54:

Q: Hey man! I have two questions.

I know enough Swedish to know the meaning of "skit" in Swedish... Was Urban's last name made fun with or is it pronounced completely differently?

Also, I got the Grind Finale as a present from my brothers girlfriend who had it lying around (it actually was a gift from her ex boyfriend) yesterday. I saw that the booklet was layed in upside down. Is this normal?

Thanks! Happy Christmas for all of those who come looking here, or something.

A: Skytt isn't pronounced the same way and I can't remember one single time that we made fun of it in that sense. The word "skytt" means shooter, so it's quite different from "shit".
No, the booklet isn't supposed to be upside down so you got an unique and - would I imagine - annoying copy. / Anders
