interview with Slaughter Messiah
What´s the name of your band? Hi Robex! Our name is Slaughter Messiah I guess....... or perhaps we’re Iron Maiden, dunno…
How was the band formed? At first, we played thrash metal. The band was only composed of Iron Bitch Desecrator and myself at the start. It was formed at the end of 2008 if I remember well… and then Sabathan joined in 2011, followed by Exhumator.
Can you tell about your band? There’s nothing special to tell about the band actually, we simply play heavy metal… an « extreme » music genre that gathers rejected people and permits them to exist. Sadly, it’s not a choice but a fatality…
Where are all band members from?/Who does what in the band? We come from the Black Land: Mordor… The guitarists play guitar, the singer/bass guitarist sings and plays bass guitar. As for me, I’m the drummer.
What was the ambitions of the band when you started? We mainly wanted to fuck a lot of stupid chicks and become as stupid as them. « You are what you eat… »
Where was your first gig? In a bar full of inbred people in 2009, we fucked up everything and we simply left.
Where was the latest gig? I think it was on the East side of Germany, In Flammen Open Air…
Who writes your songs?/Who writes the music who writes lyrics? We write our songs and our lyrics.
What's good/bad with the band?/What genre do you feel you are? The good side of the band is the fact we play music. The bad part is interviews… Our genre is psychedelic polka influenced by balkanic music.
Why did you pick that particular style?/What are your songs about? We chose to play metal ‘cause we were bad musicians.
Do you write your own material or mainly covers? We write our own material. Cover bands can suck my fat cock.
Have you made any albums?/If yes what are they? We’re working on it, I can’t give you a specific release date sadly… You got what you deserve, not what you want.
Do you have any clips on YouTube? Yeah, shitty videos made at our beginnings onstage, some songs here and there but no clip. That’s shitty in my opinion… we’ll never be aired on MTV anyway.
How old are you?/What got you started in music? I’m 27. I listen to music since I gotears, but I suffer of amusia as 95% of metalheads… My first album was « Spice » by the Spice Girls in 1996 and I immediately knew that would change my life.
At what age did you start playing? I started to play drums and other instruments when I was a young boy, but I didn’t like playing music. I prefered to watch SM porn movies… I started again to play drums when Iron Bitch Desecrator asked me to form Slaughter Messiah.
How old were you guys when you first stood on stage? I was 3 or 4 if I remember well… I held the role of a cow-boy at my school’s prom.
Best/worst gig you've played? Our best gigs were in Strasbourg and Dublin… In my opinion, the worst gig was maybe the last one in Germany. All I heard onstage was « BRRRRRRFFFFFFRRRRRR ». But the guy was cool, he paid us (even if it was less than we asked, AS USUAL)…
What places will you be playing in in the imidate future? We’ll play at the Magick (Namur, Belgium) soon. Sabathan told us we’ll play in Germany at the end of this year, but I don’t remember when... Next year, we’ll play in Denmark at the Metal Magic and we’ll drink « probably the shittiest beer in the world »… We’re also supposed to play in Italy and Portugal, but we’ll see what future brings us.
Where have you played from then till now? I played in Belgium, France, Netherlands, Germany and Ireland with Slaughter Messiah.
Witch band is the best you´ve seen? Dunno. The best things I’ve seen onstage were among others Nifelheim, Rush, Watain, Patrick Sebastien, Ascension, Die Antwoord, Les Polaris and Lana Del Rey…
Have you had any bigger tours from start to now? No big tours for the moment, only some dates here and there.
How big crowds do you usually play for? We play in clubs most of the time. There’s at least one person.
What are the plans for the rest of the year? We’ll hit the studio to record a split with a well known band in the underground. If we have time enough, we’d like to record another EP before our album.
Where do you usually play? In concert places usually... I'd like to play in other countries more often, ‘cause when the « scene » means "always the same morons in front of you", it’s useless, don’t cha think…?
How do you get psyched up for a gig? Nothing special, for being honest… it depends of my state of mind.
What are your goals with your music? I want everyone to suck my fat cock.
Is it easier to get your inspiration from older bands or from bands more modern? We simply follow our instinct.
What are your sources of inspiration? My inspirations in life are women, mushrooms and the Vieux Stef who laid the egg from which He comes…
What's the first step when making a new song? The first step is to write a riff.
How do you feel about the downloading of music instead of buying albums? I like to buy a record, that’s more pleasant and fine. Nobody wants to read a book made of photocopies…
What would be your dreams for the band? We’d like to stay in our rehearsal room forever.
Besides your own music, what genres and bands do you listen to? I listen to techno, goa, dubstep, trance, etc… the real music of Satan.
What do you hold most dear? My fat cock.
What would be your greatest fears for the future? An anal prolapse.
When you are on stage, what do you fear most then? I’m afraid an alligator could snatch my fat cock.
What songs and what years were they released? Check it on Encyclopaedia Metallum, it’s free.
Have you been part of any other projects? I don’t wanna tell you, you could send me another interview and I hate that.
Have you been in any other bands? Yes.
What do you work with outside of the band and the music? I rent my ass for some heroin.
What would you do if there was no music? I surely would eat plasticin.
How important are your fans? That’s really important to have fans, especially when it’s warm inside.
What's the funniest/most memorable thing a fan has done for you? A shitty interview.
How often do you rehearse? Approximately one thousand times a week.
Where do you rehearse? In Antarctica and sometimes in Papua New Guinea.
Name 1 of your own songs you like at the moment? Concerto for my Anus nr. 666.
What do you feel is the best live band you've seen? Burzum, without hesitation.
Do you have any webpages? Yes!
Any pearls of wisdom for all other bands out there? Be proud of what you learned and never forget you’ll never know everything. That’s true wisdom.
Describe your show, visually and musically We play metal, we are evil and we worship Satan, blah blah blah...
What advice would you like to give other bands? Never use condoms.
What are the biggest obstacles for a band? The band himself.
What is best/worst with playing the clubs? We’re never paid enough. I have to feed my dragonflies!!
Tell us about upcomming gigs and why we should be at them? You should be there ‘cause we’re the best band since The Smiths.
What is your favorite crappy instrument? The flute of six smurfs.
Whats your Pre-show ritual? We put cucumbers in our asses while we head to the Mecca. Allahu akbar!!
Thanks for your wonderful interview Robex!
