WHAT ARE YOUR INFLUENCES? Mainly old death metel 1ike Hellhammer/Celtic frost maybe some Possessed ind Venon, Anyway we're still into the old bands like Slaughter Messiah, Bathory, Necrophagia,Sodom, Destruction, so we get influenced by these old bands. The are still the best although there are sone great new bands Tike Order from choos, Eternal Solstice, Eaperor, Throne of Chaos,Excision Opere If, Usurper Demoniac, Inquisitor etc, I'm still into the old stuff S"inow these bands from thelr glory tizes end it impressed me_a lot.

The whole of this area is pretty lane, I would say vhen you telk about Wolland ve do have a strone scene, There are some great bande like Asphyx, Taou- isitor Occult ete. Yes the scene is healthy . There are a lot of places vh- ere you can play live. Also we have sone great zines like LEGEND (old Nortician), Murder of Brutality, Tears of life, Putrefaction zine etc. Holland hadn't thet typical sound like Norvay,Suitzerland or Englend. Our scene isn't that Focused on one matal style like many other countries are Thats very positive I would say. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR LYRICAL INSPIRATION ?

I can't vait to hear the demo version. This is a great track, black metal vith hints of doomand fone experimental tastes throughout. The other 2 songs you might know "brid os of frost and The old gods” are great as well.
