Who writes your songs?/ who writes the music who writes lyrics? Satan does, we just play it.
Why did you pick that particular style?/What are your songs about? It's all about our motto: "I am drunk, fuck you, I hate you". Some say we play Doom, some say we play Sludge. We don't care about all that bullshit. We are black and occult, that's it.

What are your goals with your music? Dying young.
What's the first step when making a new song? Getting drunk before getting doomed.
