Warslaughter – Alright. That would be the first rehearsal which was an overwhelming, fucked up experience. That experience more or less made us who we are. Next big thing was getting in contact with Mad Max, who helped us get where we are today. And all live gigs of corpse, all important in it’s own way. Now, this is what I personally think is the most important things, and I can’t speak for the others who might have a different view. Todays line-up consists of: Devilpig – bass, Master Motorsåg – vocals and chainsaw, Doomanfanger – guitar, Ted Bundy – guitar, and me, Warslaughter – drums. It’s a good, stable line-up which will give the world more noise to feed on.

2.WHY HAVE YOU NAMED THE BAND THIS WAY? WHAT'S YOUR MEANING?

W – Because what we do and perform is a bestial mockery of judeochristianity, of life in peace, of the ways of light, of the morals of today, of whatever... It’s not a name that doesn’t mean anything, just a cool black metal name you know. It something I personally can stand for. Fuck The World! 

W – There are a few bands that have influenced Bestial Mockery more than others and they are Slayer, Sadistik Exekution, Anticimex and Bestial Warlust. Not only because of their music, but also for their attitude and image so to say. Those bands have been a source of inspiration. Then there are many other bands that have influenced us over the years. To name a few: Darkthrone, Sodom, Venom, Nun Slaughter, plus a large number of others... It’s rather irrelevant I think. We sound like we sound and it doesn’t matter if we had Slayer or Boy George as our influence. We still sound like we do. I think I have wanted to play in a band since I was a kid and heard Heavy Metal the first time. I can’t think of any specific song or band, but if I have to name something I’d say Judas Priest and the song Sinner from the Sin After Sin album since it was my first Metal record. 

W – I listen to a lot Death Metal too. Also Thrash and Heavy Metal spins on my vinyl player. Right now I listen to a lot of punk too. It all goes in periods back and forth, and at the moment it’s a lot of punk. Other than that it’s medieval music, some 70’s rock, garage rock, noise, country and huge load of shit music. I listen to music I can get something out of, and I don’t think so much about what it is. But I would never ever listen to hip-hop or gay music like that. There are limits. I don’t think I wanna play in any other bands than those I’m already a member of, Bestial Mockery and Sons of Satan, of which Bestial Mockery is the number one priority. It’s more than enough for me, I have no wish to express myself in any other way than this. 

W – First “release” was a rehearsal promo entitled Battle which came out ’96 I think. From what I remember (it was ages since I listened to it) it contained three tracks: “Christcrushing...”, “Dead” and “Chainsaw fucking down the church”, all quite crude and shitty versions of songs which later ended up on the first demo Christcrushing Hammerchainsaw -’97. This one had five tracks plus intro and was pressed in 200 copies. The sound was rather lame, but since it was our first recording and the guy who had the studio had only dealt with dance music it’s not that strange. Next demo, Chainsaw Demons Return came ’98, contained six songs and was much rawer than the demo before. It was better all in all, and was also released in 200 copies (..I think). Next release was the split live tape with LUST Live For Violence in ‘99. It had songs from two gigs on our side. I don’t remember how many copies it was limited to, I don’t even have the tape myself. In early 2000 the split 7” EP with Suicidal Winds, Nuclear Goat, came out. It featured three tracks on our side, wicked in their own way all three of them, but very different from eachother. The songs were recorded at the same occasion the next demo, WAR – The Final Solution –’00, was. It had six songs, faster and maybe more “Black Metal-ish” than before. It was released in 388 copies and was just as the split with LUST, released by Mad Max’s Impaler of Trendies Prods. Then, in 2001, the Chainsaw Execution LP came out, limited to 350 copies. As a sort of “best of” release it contained tracks from all our previous releases + some other more obscure stuff, sixteen tracks all in all. Don’t know if it’s still available, write to Sombre Recs. to check that out. So, next release is then the Christcrushing Hammerchainsaw LP/CD. It was recorded in January and released in, when was it, April or May something, now 2002. It has ten tracks, 4 old and six newer ones. The older ones are taken from our two first demos, two songs from each. Of the newer ones most are fast pieces, only “Raise the Chalice” is the exception here, which is a slower, more rocking song. What can I say more about Christcrushing...? It’s a natural continuation of the previous releases, just further on down the same path so to say. There is of course things I want to change now afterwards, like for example the drum sound, but that is things you always think about when everything is done. It’s nothing to care that much about, better to move on ahead and try better the next time. You should look out for the A Sign of Satanic Victory 7” EP which should be out by now. Four tracks of violence, darkness, hate and fucking chaos mayhem!! 

The 7” EP will, as I said before, be called A Sign of Satanic Victory, and it will be released by Warlord Records (Ita). It contains four tracks: “Blackened Death”, “Circumsising Vagina (with bottle the blunt)”, “Fucking Dike” and “Bloodstained in Necronorth”. It was recorded late 2001 in heaven and has a very violent sound, fitting good with the violent songs. There’s not much more to say about that one I guess, except that it’s dedicated to Fucked up Mad Max and it has a very cool cover. Now, we’re not going to release any split CD, but we’re going to release a split 7” EP with Unholy Massacre from Brazil. It will be released on Deathstrike Records who made the re-released of the WAR – the Final Solution demo. I don’t remember if it’s two or three songs we will have, but at least two are recorded at the same time we recorded the A Sign... songs. Those two songs are called “Chainsaw Metal” and “Lies of Peace”. That’s it I suppose. 

W – For many different reasons I’d say. If we look at the beginning of Metal, or at least what Metal later would evolve from, we see the late 60’s and early 70’s hard rock music with pioneers like Led Zeppelin and so on. Now, Led Zeppelin had many influences from the occult (alchemical symbols, alot of flirts with the mystical, bla bla etc etc) which they in turn might have got from the new age thing that rose in the late 60’s. This thing continued and rose even more in the later half of the 70’s when NWoBHM began to make it’s presence. In the 80’s Metal came as an institution and also turned into a rebellion against society, religion and the values of the western world. Then came Venom and the rest is history. Death and Black Metal came and people started getting really serious about Satanism and the occult. When people get involved in extreme Metal they read the lyrics and becomes interested in what they deal about which is often Satanic, occult topics. And from there it carries on in a “downward spiral”, haha! Also, there is the fact that bands from the more extreme genres often makes ties to Satanic and/or occult orders or other obscure circles, and this happens vice versa too, so the ties grow stronger. Once the path was chosen for Metal, there was no return. 

W – I think I would do more or less what I’m doing now apart from playing in Bestial Mockery. I’m studying to be able to in a year or two enter the military academy. After two years there I will be able to work as an officer in the Swedish Army. That is my primary goal as for now, besides doing gigs and making albums with Bestial Mockery. Master Motorsåg is studying history and archeology and I suppose he would do the same even if he didn’t play in Bestial Mockery. For the other three, I think they would do the same as they do now too. You know, it’s not like all we do in life is playing music. We actually have other things to spend time on too. 

W – Can’t remember that. We have got some great reviews in Canadian Assault which have been among the best. As for bad reviews, we actually haven’t got that many, strangely enough. I don’t know what the problem is with people, but they seem to like what we do, stupid fucks. 

W – The best part would be our simplicity. We keep it simple and powerful. If we would start with a lot of nice touches and sissy influences it all would fall apart, we would loose our credibility. So we stay true to what we do best, simple brutal chainsaw Black Metal. It’s better to know what you do best and stick to it than set off into a world of a thousand possibilities and just blow it ‘cause you can’t handle it. Sounds a bit narrowminded, but I don’t think it hurts being a little bit narrowminded when it comes to music, it rather creates a distinctive sound of the band concerned. Look at Darkthrone for example, being extremely minimalistic, they have created their own sound which is really awesome. So, to stick to our simplicity and raw power is our strength. I don’t think there’s anything we should correct really, mistakes done are done. But what we could use improvement in is as always our ability to handle our instruments. Not that I would like to be able to perform a jazz drum solo in the middle of a song, but there is always some things one can be better with. It’s nothing to bother about really, I guess we get better in time. 

W – At the same time it’s strange it both seem as a sign of the times and a natural evolution of things. You know, it’s not like we’ve jumped from classical music into Black Metal directly. The whole 20th century has been an evolution of music, and in some ways it has gone harder and harder with the years. Therefore it isn’t strange that people start liking extreme music. Death Metal bands has been doing world tours for many years so in that sense it’s not strange that this happened to Black Metal too. But then again, what kind of bands is it that hit the charts? For sure not the likes of Bestial Warlust, Blasphemy etc, but it is the likes of Dimmu Borgir and CoF who do all in their power to sell. Those bands have betrayed the very essence of Black Metal. It was never meant to be widely available, for every dumb teenage kid to get their hands on. This was never the meaning, but maybe it was inevitable. Dimmu Borgir and CoF and their fellow friends may claim that it’s nothing wrong with making money on a growing antichristian awakening or whatever they want it to be, they may claim that it’s nothing wrong with a music genre finally getting big and cashing in, but what they don’t seem to understand is that there will not be any worldwide antichristian awakening this way ‘cause they are hitting in the wrong direction anyway. You can’t convert a christian into a satanist by saying you would like to sacrifice virgins to the Devil. And this isn’t just another music genre getting big. It’s Black Metal and Black Metal isn’t blues or jazz or gospel or whatever. Black Metal was never meant to be the music for the masses, end of story. I don’t know if they’re trying to be the new Marilyn Manson, but Marilyn Manson is a fucking cunt anyway. Black Metal is the Devil’s music and shall so remain. Now, I’m not afraid Black Metal will be exploited by commercialism, ‘cause the underground is still alive and it never bends. And no, Bestial Mockery would never sign for a huge label even if we got the chance, we feel perfectly well staying underdogs. 

W – Why should we? We were never here to please anyone. If people feel offended by Black Metal they should stay away. It’s as simple as that. There are of course many reasons why bands express racial ideologies but I think the most important one may be realism. Take a look at the world and it’s history. What did the black man ever do for the world? Well, they lived in mud huts until white colonists came. Where did the greatest scourge of mankind, judeo-christianity derive from? Semitic slave-tribes = kikes, is the answer. It’s not that strange that people are racists, is it? White man is the superior being and will always be. But I won’t go on more about this now, ‘cause you can read about these things in almost every mag nowadays, and maybe, just maybe, I don’t have all the answers. 

W – Again I must say, why should we? To use a nom de guerre is tradition in Black Metal and we have simply chosen to stick to that tradition. 

W – No, I deny the existance of a God and that of his bastard son, but I fully believe in the Devil. He is the force of darkness, power and evil that exists within and surrounds every human being. It is the genuine force of destruction that licks the world. All the suffering and meaningless deaths, the lament of women who have lost their children. The urge to kill, the feelings of revenge... All that, and much, much more. He exists and He rules the world. The Bringer of Light, clear and pure. What is christianity then? A belief built on hope, the most vain and meaningless of all rotten emotions. Nothing is created by hope and nothing will ever be. It is also a belief which relies on fright for it’s existance. See it as a castle with it’s walls made of Fear and it’s highest tower made of Hope. Such a castle falls easily in a siege, ‘cause in the end it is made of nothing at all. I can’t see how I would have anything in common with such feeble beliefs. 

W – “So,  what’s your next move?” 

W – I would first go to the Roman times, and visit the Empire in all it’s glory and power. Then I would go to the Middle Ages, 12th or 13th Century and see how Europe grows in power again after the chaos of the fallen Empire. See the castles along the Rhine and the wars fought. Then I would make a big jump to the time of the second world war to see the birth of mechanized warfare and the beautiful destruction. And finally, I would like to visit the Vietnam war and experience jungle warfare and go by helicopters into hot LZ’s, hehe... There’s alot of things I would like to have seen, but as it is now I guess I have to feel satisfied reading about gone epochs. Maybe books of todays great supply would be among the things I would miss the most. And Metal then, of corpse. 

W – Title: “Going to the bottom with Bestial Mockery at the bottom the Abyss” or “Warslaughter’s Table Talks” or “Devilworshipping, pot-smoking, alcoholistic weapon fanatics speak out”. Prologue: you have to find that one out by yourself. 

W – Thanx for this intie! I don’t think you forgot to ask anything, or what do I know? Don’t know... Ok, you maniacs out there, if you have the cash to spend then buy Christcrushing Hammerchainsaw CD/LP from Metalblood Music and/or A Sign of Satanic Victory 7” EP from Warlord Records. Prepare for total destructive desecration! Stay realist and extremist!
