INTERVIEW FOR some Dutch 'zine Holland (with Hellhound Warpig)

Another handwritten questions... you gotta guess.

1. Hellhound Warpig: Okay, I'll tell you, but please swear that you're not shorthaired! Originally HANGÖVER was formed back in 1996 as a solo project of mine, but nothing really happened besides writing a few lyrics and recording a rehearsal tape (which got lost - along with bunch of other stuff, goddamnit! - while I was moving from one apartment to another). Nothing was going on until I joined the forces with Slut Eviscerator back in the beggining of 2000. Then we started to profane music again and recorded our debut demo-CD entitled "Terrorbeer". I guess that's it. Now give me all the beer you're hiding!

2. HW: The bandsname reminds of drowning in a pool of sweat each morning. Out of cash and out of mind, wishing the day would already finish. Good Satan, I hate hangovers, so I try to stay drunk to avoid them. But you're correct, and if we only knew how to handle our instruments properly, then I would say we play in the same league as Gehennah, but fortunately they are still way too technical for us to compete with! Thanks for comparing us to Gods like Venom or Sodom, but I hope that readers won't believe you, cause you're simply exaggerating, hehehe. If we had an ability to control our instruments, it would be cool to play something like they did in the past, but so far we have to rely on what we can do, not what we'd like to do, heheheh...

3. HW: Yeah, Silvester Stallone in "Cobra" was pretty "retro" too, eh? Apart from his gay disco haircut, of course!! It's a way of dressing for a man, so don't complain!

4. HW: Poland always had one of the most obscure scenes when it comes to metal. Of course I am talking about the past... Underground bands from the eighties era, like early Vader ('85), Nuctemeron, Slaughter, Merciless Death, Unborn, Slashing Death or Scarecrow had the right atmosphere... When it comes to "official" bands, there were only a bunch of wimps like Hammer, Turbo or Destroyer, later Christian faggots Acid Drinkers who shouldn't be really mistaken with a real Polish metal. Only one Polish wellknown band worth mentioning is defininitely KAT. On the other hand I don't think we really need to have some kind of "past" to play what we play. I've grown on mostly on foreign metal and I never thought about the subject you've asked and it doesn't stress me, really. I don't consider HANGÖVER as a band "paying homage to the past". That would be completely senseless, considering that what we play has nothing really in common with all the great bands from the past. Just the dirtiest rock and roll with an outlaw attitude and retro feeling. We like it. The rest doesn't have to.

5. HW: I don't give a flying fuck about so called technical death metal bands from Poland nor anywhere. I am so sick and tired of this current "death metal revival" so I don't bother myself with thinking of triendies starting to worship death metal again, true and evil black metallers starting to rip Morbid Angel off saying how much did they mature and sooo on, another pathetic trend for boys in sport shoes and baseball caps. I can tell you three names of Polish death metal bands you should check out - Devilyn (their new CD is about to be released on Plastic Head, UK), Azarath (out soon on Pagan Records) and Throneum, the ones you mentioned. Thorneum are really great and it's great to know that someone in this wimpy country still keeps the flame of ancient metal alive. The spirit of Possessed, Venom, Sadistic Intent and Blasphemy is in those guys and I hope they will never surrender with playing what they play. Check those out!

6. HW: Funny, but "Terrorbeer" was recorded in Poland's most expensive studio named "Hendrix". We tried to have the worst sound quality, but it just couldn't happen. The songs weren't even engineered because of liquid spirits and bottle-demons, we were drunk all the time, but still it sounded well so I personally added the distortion which was supposed to make the sound worse... Our sound engineer Hembränt works there and he was responsible for the sound. Next time it has to sound rougher, it just has to!

7. HW: Well, rock and roll is the only way to die!!! ...and to live, too.

8. HW: Nope, nothing. I guess we have one track which didn't appear on "Terrorbeer" but that's all really.

9. HW: The reactions are quite positive. Of course whole Poland is blabbering how much we rip Gehennah off, but I can only take it as a compliment, because I really like Gehennah and all their stuff (hails Ronnie!) since the time they started. In general we don't care about Polish opinions since these wimps doesn't even know what they talk about, they just need to feel safe when they criticise something for a sake of criticising. We're mostly hailed by those who know how to rock, to have fun and know what rock and roll is all about... Let me shout a huge hail to bands like Witchmaster, Azarath, Gernoth (Ger), Witchburner, Devilyn or Throneum here! I am glad there are still people who know the deal, not the bunch of grim "black metallers" or shorhaired nobodies too ugly to have a life.

10. HW: We've just joined forces with a maniac called Terrorizer, who'll take part in recording our full lenght. We weren't promoting ourselves too much, but we got a record deal offer, so we will consider doing something about it, maybe. Until then we're finishing the recordings of our new demo which should be out as you read this. Yesterday we were discussing a split 7"EP release with one of my favourite bands. If that happens, it will be surely surprising release, especially some sad faggots, but that's in a sphere of plans at the moment. About the gigs, I don't really know since our line-up is not really stable and we live far away from each other (Terrorizer does!), but I don't say no.

11. HW: I REPENT NOTHING! FUCK YOU!!!
