interview with Himiltungl

Have any of you played in other bands? Magus has another awesome band called Welcome to Rome, Mathz is probably the most experienced with lots of different bands in the past. He's a drumming machine! 

How is it that you started playing music? Lack of life and plenty of gain. 

What are your names? / Who plays what? / How old are you? Magus is our epic guitarist and singer, Mathz beats the shit out of the drums, Jens is the band father who's in charge of the machinery as well as his home wrought guitar and vocal chords. 

Have you had other previous members? Our good friend Mike G Satan pulled bass strings for a while, but beer and women took too much time for him unfortunately. We don't criticize this! (We're also on the lookout for a bassist) 

Did you make music even when you were young? We're still young damn it! 

Where are you from? We come from various weird parts of unchristian Sweden, but our base is in Gothenburg, and R'lyeh. 

What year did the band form? Himiltungl calendar. Year 0. Gregorian calendar. 2013 

What's your style of genre? Ödesmetal 

What inspires you? The evil that lurks in men, the selfishness, the pettiness. That's a great inspiration to search out nature, pubs and other places of solace. 

How often and where do you reherse? Rehearsing is for Christian pigs. Seriously, Gregorian calendar weekly, just to blend in. We have a shared place in Gothenburg.

How have you developed since you started with the music? A steady decline in monetary assets and physical and mental health. The beer intake has increased exponentially with time. As the beer drinking has gone up, so has our progressiveness, some of the new material is hardly metal at all. 

Do you have other interests of work outside the band? Someone has to brew beer. Someone is sowing seeds of revolution. A few have serious record and Whisky acquiring syndromes. 

Are you looking for a booking agency, and what are your thoughts around that? Definitely, we're just about ready to crawl out of our rehearsal space and face the perils of pubs and beer halls. 

Are you looking for a label, and what are your thoughts around that? Hell yes, we can release records for sure, but when it comes to marketing we are completely retarded. Have you noticed? 

What made you decide to make this music? Things clicked once we did some recordings in Swedish, we kind of found our sound. 

What are your songs about? People dying, basically because they deserve it. Sometimes. 

Who does the composing and writes the lyrics? Mostly band father, but Magus has had his hands in a few really great songs lately.

Do you start with the music or the lyrics? Kind of done separately, we have a bunch of song pieces and a bunch of lyrics, and we kind of figure out what goes with what. 

Do you compose in a certain inviroment? If we knew what environment great songs are writ in we would be famous by now.

Have you done any covers live? At rehearsals for sure, planning some awesome surprises for you young uns. 

What language do you sing in? Swedish, English and Finnish Swedish a lot of the time for effect. In tongues sometimes when we completely forget the lyrics.  

When did you start to sell merchandise, and what do you have for sale? We're merch whores, we have wardrobes full of band stuff... So we've had our own t-shirts basically since day 0. We got a couple of neat t-shirts on our online store, if you know us you probably have one. We're thinking of doing even more awesome stuff like buckles, necklaces and shit.

Where can people buy your merchandise? Onliiiiine, band camp. 

What do you think about people downloading music instead of buying records nowadays? Sharing is caring. 

How do you think the music industry have changed because of this? Label cemeteries. 

What do you think of my work? We categorically hate commercial music sites and media, they fucking suck in general. A fan-based blog ticks all the right boxes in our book. 

How do you think and know that this interview will help you in the music business? Hey, we're happy if new people find our music and enjoy it. 

Do you have any role models or idols? You don't want us to start listing idols really, we'll fill up your blog quickly. Vintersorg deserves mentioning though, a huge influence for us finding our sound for the first record. 

Why do you think that they exist? Idols leap beyond being derivative to being something evolutionary. 

Is it easier to find inspiration from older bands, or bands that are more active today? Keeping up with the wave front of new music is incredibly inspiring, as it is stuff that has never been heard, never sounded before. Then again, if you haven't heard some old music before, it's the same effect... 

What have been your biggest obstacles? Bass players, what an enigma. Did we mention we are looking for one? 

What advice would you give other bands or artists? Genres are for Christian pigs, find your own sound. 

How do you get psyched for a gig? Drugs. 

Do you have any new material? Yes, we're working hardly to finish our second album. 

What are your web sites?

How can people reach you? Dark incantations, e-mail, shouts. 

What are your plans for the future? Greatness 

Do you have something to add? Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!
