1. DARK RECOLLECTIONS:Introduce the band... (who does what, plays what
instruments, etc..?)
THRONEUM: Satanic Death Terror Metal Hails! In this moment the band is completed by Marek - drums, backing vokills and me - all other shits. During gigs we play with Necrosodomic Corpse Molester of mighty ANIMA DAMNATA, who handles bass. With this set we've played 1 necro show already and it was fucking evil and wimp-crushing! I'm fucking proud that NCM joined THRONEUM as session musician. We Are Death!
2. DARK RECOLLECTIONS:When did you decide to form the band?
THRONEUM: I formed my first band in 1993, but it was a shit. I've played here and there in period of 93-96, but everything made me fucking sick, so I've decided to create a new monster - THRONEUM. It was back in 1996.
3. DARK RECOLLECTIONS: did you release any demos, what kind of response
did they receive?
THRONEUM: Yes, we've released 2 demo tapes. First one called "Beyond The Numbers And Creatures" '98 (ltd. to 200 copies) and second one "The Underground Storms Eternally" in 2000. We aren't satisfied with first tape, but "The Underground...." was this what we wanted to achieve - raw, evil and fucking dirty Death Metal. Second demo tape, which was limited to 1000 copies, will be re-released soon on CD/LP through Australian APOCALYPTOR RECORDS.
4.DARK RECOLLECTIONS: for those not familiar with your music... how
would you describe it?
THRONEUM: EVIL, DESTRUCTION, POSSESSION, NIHILISM, DEATH, ABOMINATION... that's what THRONEUM is. If you are into bands like Necrovore, Blasphemy, Asphyx, Imperator, Possessed, Bestial Warlust, Merciless, Grotesque you will have no problem to get the core of THRONEUM. For the rest - FUCK OFF!
5. DARK RECOLLECTIONS:Talk about Cds, Eps, you have released so
far....how have they done
as far as sales, response from the underground
scene...?
THRONEUM: Up till now w have 5 CDs and 1 split EP released, however 4 other EP's are already in progress and should be out in 2004 I hope. Our EP and debut CD is completely sold out already, also split CD with ANIMA DAMNATA and MCD "Bestial Antihuman Evil" are near to be completely sold out too, so I think that selling is OK. However you have remember we are Underground band so these CDs was pressed in small amounts in 1000 or 666 copies. We have very good response from Underground maniacs, I can't complain about it.
6.DARK RECOLLECTIONS: what inspires your music/lyrics?
THRONEUM:Our only inspiration is Metal!!! Mostly we bang our heads for Death/Speed/Black/Thrash bands from 80's and early 90's, because we really can't stand nowadays' "homosexual metal music for idiots"! But of course we are in touch and hail a lot of Underground bands of today too! There are Apokalyptic Raids, Pentacle, Vomitor, Toxic Holocaust, Kaamos, Ibex Throne etc etc etc
Anyway we don't need any other inspirations than Metal, maybe except sex but it's fucking natural. Metal is music of Satan and men, so it's obviously for everyone I guess. Sex, drinks & metal!
Lyrics are about destruction, evil, perversion, rituals, deviations and Armageddon - typical Death Metal lyrics as they should be!
7.DARK RECOLLECTIONS: Talk about the scene in Poland... any underground
bands you would
recommend checking out?
THRONEUM: In Poland there is a lot of wimpy shit and idiots like decapitated, sceptic, luna ad noctem and other fucking poseurs!!! Fuck them all! But fortunately Polish Underground is devilish strong thanks to bands like WITCHMASTER, HELL-BORN, ANIMA DAMNATA, AZARATH, BLASPHEMY RITES and STILLBORN. Keep these names in your mind! They bring you Hell!!!
8.DARK RECOLLECTIONS: Talk about your new Cd "Mutiny of Death" on Pagan
Records...
THRONEUM: This CD was just released (a few days ago). What I can say.... It brings 32 minutes of THRONEUM devastation and annihilation! It's like a mix of "Bestial Antihuman Evil" and "Old Death's Lair" - fucking raw, fucking brutal but also with many slow parts and two cover songs of Asphyx and Cianide. I like this stuff. All reviews I've read already was also very positive.
9.DARK RECOLLECTIONS: Have you found a replacement for Aleksander?
THRONEUM:When Aleksader left the band, Marek (the bassist) started to play drums. He's a drummer so there was no problem with it. He's bestial drummer, you'll hear it soon on "Mutiny Of Death", however he recorded also drums on "Bestial Antihuman Evil" already. When Alexander left the band and Marek started play drums we wasn't able to find a right maniac on bass, so we decided to play with session bassist at last. It works fucking good, so I'm really satisfied with this decision.
10. DARK RECOLLECTIONS:did you record new Cd with only you and Marek?
how hard was it
to record , and how long did it take to record Cd?
THRONEUM: As I told Marek and I recorded "Bestial Antihuman Evil" already as duo. There's no problem; even it's much faster way to record everything. We need about 25 hours to record full-length album. Mostly we record everything at the first time and don't waste time to correct every fault; we really hate suck attitude. Our music is honest and in your face! We don't use computer while recording - there are pure analogy sessions! Can you believe?
11. DARK RECOLLECTIONS:any merchandise available from you to anyone who
wants it?
THRONEUM: A few THRONEUM releases are already sold out, but "Mutiny Of Death" is our newest shit so everyone can get it from me directly - no problem. I have also "Bestial Antihuman Evil" T-Shirts and very last MCDs available.
12.DARK RECOLLECTIONS: Talk about your project band Morbid Execution...
would you
record any more songs for demos, eps, Cds, in the near
future...
or was it a short-term project?
THRONEUM: No, it wasn't a short-term project! We are recording a new stuff of MORBID EXECUTION already. There are songs for 7"EP and MCD/MLP. They should be done within 2 weeks. We record only 1 time in a week for 4 or 5 hours only so it takes some time, you know.
MORBID EXECUTION is pure Hellhammer/Venom/Bathory/Autopsy worship band - very simple even primitive stuff without any blasts, but for sure it will make every old school maniacal head banging. I hope so!
13. DARK RECOLLECTIONS:any last words, comments? thanks for the
interview...
Thanks Wilhelm for your support and all these great trades! Hails to all necromaniacs and dirty witches. Bang your heads for Satan!
