• "Freedom means thinking and saying whatever you want, even if it hurts other people." The freedom of speach and free artistical (and not only!) expression is a number one value for these six guys from Destinity. The above mentioned words might hurt some people, well...so will their music!
• READ!

• MICK : The most importants moments in the life of the band were the release of SUPREME       DOMINATION’S ART with a worldwide distribution, the first big shows as support band 2 or 3   years ago and the arrivals of Kris-Tyrael (1999), Big Benn Sorabass (2000) and Lord D.D. (2001) because each time it meant a quick and huge progression.
• Today’s line-up :
• MICK : lead vocals
• ZEPHIROS : rhythm guitars and backing vocals
• LORD D.D. : lead guitars
• BIG BENN SORABASS : bass
• MORTEÜS : keyboards and clean vocals
• KRIS-TYRAËL : drums

2.WHAT DOES DESTINITY MEAN? WITH WHAT CRITERIA HAVE YOU SELECTED            YOUR BAND NAME?

• MORTEÜS : Our name is a concept between DESTINYand ETERNITY. We chose it for           the sound and the meaning because we did not want to have one of those silly names.

3.WHICH IS YOUR MSUICAL DIRECTION. WHICH ARE YOUR INFLUENCES? WHICH         BAND MADE YOU REALIZE THAT PLAYING THIS STYLE IS WHAT SUITS YOU THE          MOST?

• ZEPHIROS : DESTINITY’s music becomes each day more orchestral, violent and blasphemous... We are influenced by every powerful band, especially if it makes extreme metal. The bands that gave us the will to make the same shit are Slayer for Mick, Bathory for Lord D.D., Iron Maiden for BBS, Nile and Emperor for Kris. About me and my brother Morteüs, it was of course Strenching Putrefaction, a grind core band from the late 80’s, because our father was the leader of the band... His overdose stopped his life and the band...

4.DO YOU THINK THAT METAL CAN BE COMBINED WITH ANY OTHER MUSICAL    STYLE? IF YES, WITH WHICH?

• BIG BENN SORABASS : NO !!! Metal is no real musical style, it means power !!! There are so   many ways to make metal that it is useless and stupid to mix it with music for faggots suck as     techno or hip hop !!

5.TELL US SOME THINGS REGARDING THE BAND RELEASES AND MAINLY            CONCENTRATE ON YOUR LATEST. COMPARE THEM. WHAT DO YOU OBSERVE? IN     WHICH FIELDS HAVE YOU PROGRESSED? ARE YOU STILL SATISFIED BY YOUR RELEASES?

• MORTEÜS : WEPTS FROM THE SKY was more a long-length demo than an album, SUPREME DOMINATION’ART was our first “professionnal” recording and UNDER THE SMELL OF     CHAOS will kick the world’s ass !!! The is a large progession in composition, sound or arrangements between the albums, and the music is each time more misanthropic, violent and symphonic.
• ZEPHIROS : We love all our releases, because it was what we felt and the best we could do at these times !!

6.WHAT ARE YOUR LYRICS TALKING ABOUT? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM? WHERE FROM DO YOU DRAW INSPIRATION?

• MICK : The lyrics always talk about an inner trip to our fear, hate and sadness. In UNDER THE SMELL OF CHAOS, we developped a concept in misanthopy and all its different fields and feelings. I am responsible for around 95 % of the lyrics.

• BBS : We always try to take the best in heavy-metal or even punk attitude, death-metal power and black-metal darkness. We played with very good bands such as Anorexia Nervosa, Rotting Christ, Seth or Bal-Sagoth, and each time we had a very good time getting drunk and try to fuck  every groupie that came backstage.

8.WHAT DOES THIS CD-ROM TRACK SHOW? WILL IT BE IN ALL THE COPIES OR AS A     LIMITED EDITION?

• Lord D.D. : The CD rom track is a live enhanced video of “Glutted Wargasm” from a show in Salon de Provence (France). Of course it will be in all the copies !! We don’t want the fans to pay an extra $5 just to see our 6 ugly drunk faces !!!!!!!!!!

9.WHY DID SO MANY CHANGES IN THE LINE UP OCCUR? HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN IT?    MUSICAL DIFFERENCIES ONLY OR MISUNDERSTANDING?

• KRIS-TYRAËL : During DESTINITY’s life, there have been so many line-up changes because the band is experiencing such a fast technical and musical progression that everyone who cannot get better and better is quickly fired, and some people left the band because they wanted to make a softer music... FUCK OFF !!! Anyway some of the former DESTINITY members are still very good friends !

10.FRANCE DOESN'T HAVE A VERY FAMOUS METAL SCENE. WHAT'S GOING ON IN      THE UNDERGROUND?

• LORD D.D. : French scene is becoming bigger and bigger, better and better each day. Now labels realize that fuckin’good bands can come from France, especially in Germany where Nuclear Blast signed NO RETURN and MORBID Recs signed GURKKHAS ! It is a very good thing for us !!

11.WHICH IS THE BEST AND WHICH IS THE WORST REVIEW YOU HAVE RECEIVED?

• KRIS-TYRAËL : You know, there is no “middle-opinion” about DESTINITY’s music : you love it or you hate it !! So we had really good and really bad reviews, especially from jealous people that have shit bands.

12.WHICH IS THE BEST AND WHICH IS THE WORST PART OF YOUR MUSIC? WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU NEED IMPROVEMENT?

• BBS : Even DESTINITY is not perfect, you know !!! No, just kidding... Every field in the music  can be improved in live or studio things. We’ve been working hard every field of our music since years and we’re not ready to stop improving DESTINITY !!

13.WHY DO YOU THINK METAL KEEPS INVOLVING SO MUCH RELIGION AND THE OCCULT?

• ZEPHIROS : If you make a powerful and violent music, it would be stupid and ridiculous to speak about butterflies, flowers and spring even if you are not satanist or these things.

14.AND SUDDENLY BLACK METAL BECOMES POPULAR! MORE AND MORE NEW    BANDS POP OUT SIGNING WITH BIG LABELS. HOW DO YOU FIND ALL THIS? WOULD  YOU RECORD AN ALBUM FOR A HUGE LABEL IF YOU WERE GIVEN THE CHANCE?

• MICK : Why not ? It would not be a shame if Metal - we don’t care if we speak about death, black or GOOD heavy metal - becomes more popular than all this fuckin’techno or hip hop music !! And it might open the mind if many people...
• MORTEÜS : We don’t care about becoming richer and richer thanks to our music !! We just want to make ONLY MUSIC in our lives. To do that we need some money !!

15.MANY EXTREME METAL BANDS EXPRESS RACISTIC IDEOLOGIES. WHICH ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT? BLACK METAL WAS CHASED A LOT IN THE PAST. SHOULDN'T THIS MAKE THE BANDS AND THE FANS MORE SENSITIVE IN SUCH MATTERS?

• ZEPHIROS : We don’t care about that ! Freedom means thinking and saying whatever you want, even if it hurts other people.

16.IF SOMEDAY YOU HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET THE CREATURE THAT CREATED THE UNIVERSE, WHICH WOULD YOUR BIGGEST QUESTION BE?

• KRIS-TYRAËL : Got beers ?
• BBS : Thanks for having created vodka and ass holes to put dicks !!!

17.WHAT PROLOGUE AND TITLE WOULD YOU LIKE THIS INTERVIEW TO HAVE?

• BBS : GERMAN TITS LOVERS !!
• MICK : Put whatever you want to introduce these stupid answers !!

18.THANK YOU!HAVE I FORGOT TO ASK YOU ANYTHING AND YOU'D LIKE TO MENTION?

• DESTINITY : Thank YOU for the intie!! And hail to all Greek metalheads and free people ! We  hope to come and play in Greece very soon ! You can contact us at [email protected] to find merchandising... or just to speak with French fuckers !!
