SKITSYSTEM: Sound Of Apocalypse
17.04.07 · text: Martin & Sobi · pics: TomThis Swedish band astonished me by their show on OEF last year. I was even more astonished after I had listened to their last album „STIGMATA“ and read the CD booklet. This album that is full of raw and hard music totally ground me by its energy and power. So, I have asked the singer and guitar player Fred Wallenberg for several answers. ...the whole interview.
NAPALM DEATH: Questioning Morals
27.03.07 · text: AdaSmear Campaign is a brilliant album. It has the quality of a premium-brute grindcore, packed with thought-provoking lyrics and fresh-sounding experiments. It recalls distant memories of the Scum era at certain moments, it bears elements of an insane hardcore, and it has a wide array of innovative ideas. Adolf talked to Barney about questioning morals in the new album Smear Campaign, interpreting ND’s lyrics, Barney’s abilities to speak German and Spanish, and Mitch’s playing a twelve-string guitar in grindcore tracks. A couple of weeks before the death of Jesse Pintado, reasons for parting ways with Jesse were discussed as well as then the actual question about him ever coming back to ND. ...the whole interview.
SUFFOCATION: A Legend Reborn
26.01.07 · text: Ada · pics: BartSUFFOCATION has been simply one of the most influential Death Metal bands since the beginning of 90´s. Period. Today, its legendary status overshadows the thorny road the genre-defindng band had to go through the years as the leader, so we took a short trip back to the days it all started to recall some of zhe memories from the past. Adolf met Frank Mullen, the leader and vocalist, to talk about their difficult road through the 90´s, taking a break, and re-uniting in a best form ecer. Having released a self-titled album recently, the album SUFFOCATION is their best-sounding album to-date, intensive, fast but still various enough to keep your attention all the way through the end. ...the whole interview.
ATHEIST: Celebrating
Unquestionably Original Music
18.11.06 text: Ada · pics: BartFew bands have left a mark in the history of extreme music as deep as ATHEIST has. In Times when Deicide were named Amon and Obituary called Xecutioner, Florida-based ATHEIST composed and perfomed music that no one understand back then. The four member band loved fast metak riffs the same way they did the jazz technique and composition. They wrote songs that werw subsequently labeled as fundamentals of technical (Death) Metal. Thirteen years after the ultimate demise of this legend, the members met one last time to rehearse for live shows that would celebrate the unquestionably original music finally getting its share of mass appreciation. ...the whole interview.
DISMEMBER:
We Will Be Playing at Your Funeral
04.10.06 · text: Áda · pics: TomTen years after their last show in the Czech republic, expectations were high for the return of swedish death metal´s undisputed kings. DISMEMBER came back to play the Obscene Extreme festival with a great sound, refinded stage performance, and most notably with energy and drive to keep playing years to come in the way they have been playing for eighteen years. During an extensive interview with the whole band, Adolf a Martin talked about motivation, labels, censorship, but mainly about the committment never to give to trends and keep playing, as they say, until your funeral. ...the whole interview

CRIPPLE BASTARDS
Blackmails and Assholism
Due to the fact there is a significantly more extensive interview with Gulio turning around this DVD it would be superfluous to ask him

Aaaargh… Finally we have got here a new album from the mighty cult lunatics of BLOOD DUSTER after a longer time that is released
the whole interview
HELL Maniacs!
When Zizen tore the original editorial some time ago to shreds and I was forced to write it again I wrote basically the same with a little modification. Until now the situation has not changed much as the feeling inside is still unchangeable. Thus I will try to put together the facts that are essential for the future of our webfanzine, The Suffering.
It is really impossible to tell the direction it is going to take and how it is going to look like in several months with TS. If it is going to at all… Being a fan is a nice thing but it is understandable that our life as ordinary people brings other necessary priorities than a fanzine for a bunch of lunetics…
So this is also an answer to the questions why The Suffering has literally died for a half a year. I appologise for that on behalf of the whole team but it was not within our our power to harmonize everything so that we have time for our web. As a matter of fact we had first-hand experience of the well-known truth that it is much harder to maintain something than to create that.
Also we ourselves have to reduce our monumental ideas.
However, the first basic information is that we want to and are going to go on. Though it is going to be in a bit modified form but the positive should be a minimum up-to-dateness at least when less means more in the long run. We want to use the fact it is a webzine and add an MP3 player with bands we want to write about. The interviews will not be that extensive but there should much more of them decidedly… Definitely another positive thing for the readers in the end. It will not be such famous bands. There will appear more of the less known or unknown bands but alwas it will be first-class music for sure!
In any case we do not say no to bigger interviews. We just have to make it suite our possibilities…
As I wrote at the beginning it is hard to guess the direction the evolution is going to take due to all other circumstancies. However, we want to push this cart and progress.
