Metal hails Terror! Thank you for taking the
time to fill out this interview. Please introduce yourself to the readers.
I
am “Terror”, death metal rebel and the drummer in NECROCURSE!
When did you first discover metal, who were
some of the first bands you listened you listened to? Who are some of your
current favorite bands?
It was in the early 80's that I started listening a lot of metal. In the
beginning it was mostly bands like Judas Priest, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Kiss,
Black Sabbath and so on. Then opened a new era when I discovered Slayer,
Bathory, Candlemass, Exodus, Possessed, Coroner... then went over to the
more extreme bands Sarcofago, Carcass, Autopsy, Grotesque, Morbid Angel,
Bolt Thrower, etc.. The old bands that I grew up with are still favorites.
Do not know why but it's probably just so that it felt more innovative back
then as when you were young and hungry for hard metal.
I know you and some of the other members of
Necrocurse used to be other bands such as Swordmaster, Nifelheim,
Sacramentum etc. So I was wondering when did you all meet? And what gave you
guys the idea to form NecroCurse?
The band originally started as a small side project for me in 2004. Wrote
some songs and recorded some demos, but it was not much more than that. It
was not until in 2009/2010 we became a real band, and the name was
officially NECROCURSE. All of the band have known each other for many years.
Several of us played together in the late 80's and early 90's in other old
local thrash, heavy and death metal bands.
What is the current line-up of the band? How
did you all choose the name of the band? For the readers who never heard the
band's music how would you best describe it?
Hellbutcher - vocals & death vomits, Rotting Vomitor - electric distorted
guitar, Mörda - electric distorted guitar, Basstard - bassphemy, Terror -
rapid drums of death. We chose the name NECROCURSE because we thought it
suited the music and that it was an old song with that name already. It is
obviously not a very original band name, but what the hell ... it fits the
music. To make it simple, I describe our music in two words: Hard Death!
Necrocurse recently released their debut cd
"Grip Of The Dead" through Pulverised Rec. How did you all come in contact
with Pulverised? Are you happy with their work so far?
Yes we are very pleased with Pulverised so far. In 2011, we received several
offers, but we hold ourselves quickly at Pulveriseds contract. Mainly
because it was simple and clear and held on an A4.
How long did it take the band to write and
record the songs for the new release? How has the response been from the
press and the fans?
The songs are written in 2010-2012. Overall perhaps we spent about 10 days
in various studios during autumn 2012. So far, most of response has been
really good. It feels damn good as it is always good if someone like that we
ourselves create and enjoy.
Does Necrocurse have any upcoming
tours/shows in support of "Grip Of The Dead"?
As it looks now, we have three gigs booked but there will be more than this
year.
Who are some bands you all have toured with
?If you could set up a "Dream" show/tour who are some bands {past or
present} you would love to share the stage with?
We've only played a few gigs and festivals so far. Hard to say a dream tour
because there are so many good bands ...
The band comes out of the legendary Swedish
metal scene, so I was curious what is your opinion of Sweden's metal scene?
The scene and trends come and go so it is something that is constantly
changing. To be honest I do not think any of us are so very close eye on
what happens. We do what we want and think is good, it lasts so.
Who are some of your all-time favorite
Swedish metal bands? Are their any new bands you think the readers should
check out soon?
Candlemass. Can not think of anything new so directly right now.
What does the term "underground metal" mean
to you? Also I know you have been involved in the underground for many
years so I was wondering how do you feel it has changed over the years with
the internet?
Technology development is obvious in the "underground" as well. It's just
the way it is and you get to see the positive that it is easier to spread
their music and information now. Then if it's the same feeling as before or
not is another thing. It is what it is.
Coming back to the band for a moment you
handle the drums, when did you first become interested in playing the drums?
When I was really little, I built custom drum set of cans and cartons. Then
I got an old
 60's drum set by my father in the early 80's. Then it rolled
on. But before I started playing drums with NECROCURSE around 2009/2010 I
had not played drums in almost 10 years.
Are you self taught or did you take lessons
when you were younger? Who are some of your influences/favorite drummers?
I'm completely self-taught. But I really do not see myself as a professional
and innovative drummer. I do not think I have developed somewhat since the
mid 90's, hahaha. Probably it's because I never practice besides rehearsing
with the band.
Well Terror we have reached the end of the
interview. Thank you for taking the time to fill this out, do you have any
final comments for the readers?
Many thanks for the support! Hope everyone let themselves fall into the grip
of the dead!
Mvh / Best regards
